Other Hardware Components

Power Cord and Brick

The brushed aluminum enclosure and the design of the power cord and brick offer several key benefits to the kitchen environment. The universal power supply features a locking input connector to prevent unintentional detachment from the unit. The power plug for the wall or ceiling outlet is small enough and oriented in a manner to prevent covering multiple outlets. Additionally, the weight of the power brick is light enough so that it does not pull away from the outlet. For International installs, there is a separate power supply, which has a detachable AC power cord that can be interchanged for different regions.

Expansion Options

Expansion options are available through the use of the USB 3.1 ports. Wireless networking is available as an upgrade by installing a wireless adapter in the USB port. Video support for the KPS system is offered through the Display Port on the Controller. The screen resolutions supported by the NCR KC5 are from 640 x 480 pixels through 1920 x 1200 pixels.

Bump Bar

Used to interact with the Kitchen Controller, the Bump Bar is also built with a rugged aluminum enclosure designed to function in a kitchen environment. Rubber end caps protect both sides of the unit and the serial connector from the ingress of debris. The end cap can be removed to access the serial connector without the need for any tools.

The Bump Bar features a volume adjustable speaker to allow for alert beeps and key beeps to be heard in a noisy environment. Each key is programmable to a predefined function list to provide the most flexible solution for each customer’s operation. The Bump Bar also includes mounting brackets on both sides that allow it to be mounted to NCR brackets or other surfaces.

Mounting Options

NCR offers small footprint standard VESA mounting options for installing the KPS hardware components in space‑constrained kitchen stations. These options include an integration bracket that can be combined with a variety of mounting solutions to allow mounting to a countertop, wall, or ceiling. Customers can select the mounting system that works best in their environment. None of the options are required to install KPS components, though these options typically provide a better installation. For more information on mounting options, ask your NCR representative or refer to the NCR Kitchen Mounting Guide.
