5. Do not allow the Unit to endure or operate at a
high temperature, in high humidity, and/or in a
dusty environment (refer to “Environmental
Specifications” on page 1-7 of this Section).
6. Do not install the unit in an area where excessive
vibration or shock is present.
Mounting, Dismounting & Transportation
Methods for mounting, dismounting and transport-
ing the Unit:
1. Be sure to turn the Power Supply to the Unit OFF
before mounting or removing the Unit from its
permanent location. Plugging or unplugging
Connector Plugs from their receptacles while the
Power is ON may cause damage to the Unit.
2. When reassembling a disassembled Unit, ensure
that each component is properly replaced in its
correct original location.
3. Be sure to carry the Unit by both hands when
transporting it. Holding the Unit by one hand
may cause personal injury if the Unit accidentally
becomes disassembled and drops away.
4. Be careful not to use excessive outside pressure
on the Unit, or subject it to excessive vibration
during transportation.
Placing Foreign Objects into the Unit
Observe the following precautions when placing
foreign objects into the Unit:
1. Do not insert anything except Banknotes into the
Insertion Slot. Inserting Receipts, Stapled Tick-
ets, Rubber Bands, or Credit Cards into the Unit
may damage the Banknote Transport Path.
2. Do not inject liquids into the Banknote Insertion
Slot. Injecting water, oil or cleaning agents may
damage the Sensors or plastic parts within the
Banknote Transport Path.
Preventive Maintenance
The preventive maintenance requirements are
defined as follows:
1. Be sure to turn the Power OFF on the Unit
BEFORE beginning a maintenance procedure.
The equipment can produce abnormal operating
signals while in Maintenance Mode that may
cause personal injury.
2. When closing the Validation Guide of the Unit,
make sure that it clicks firmly into place.
3. Do not disassemble the Unit incorrectly or rede-
sign it in any way. Unauthorized use by inade-
quately trained personnel, or use outside the
original manufacturer’s intent for operation voids
the warranty.
4. Perform routine cleaning and maintenance once a
month to keep the Unit’s performance stable.
5. Use a soft, lint-free Micro-fiber cloth, cotton
swab and a vacuum cleaner to clean dust and
debris from the Banknote Path.
6. If the Unit is exposed to water or other liquids,
use a clean, dry Micro-fiber cloth to wipe off and
absorb excess liquids immediately. Any
remaining liquids may affect and degrade the
Sensors and Validation performance.
Banknote Fitness Requirements
The following Banknote types may not validate
correctly, or worse, can cause a Banknote jam
and/or damage to the Unit’s Transport Path.
Banknotes exhibiting the following conditions
illustrated in Figure 1-3 should be avoided:
• torn
• excessive folds or wrinkles
• dirty
• wet
• adhering foreign objects and/or oil
Caution: Be careful to avoid personal
injury to your fingers when closing the
Validation Guide Section.
WARNING: To minimize risk of damage
to internal printed circuit boards, never
allow excess fluid (e.g., from a wet
cleaning cloth) to drip or leak into the
device. Internal printed circuit boards
may be damaged. Do not use any
alcohol, citrus based cleaners, solvents
or scouring agents that can damage the
plastic surfaces of the device.
Caution: Make Interface Harness
connections to the Host Machine
shorter than 9.84 Feet (3 Meters) in
length. Cut off all unused portions of
the Interface Harness wiring to avoid
static electrical effects or short circuit
possibilities that could cause damage
to the Unit.
WARNING: This Unit is designed for
use with a Current limiting Power
Source! Design the Host Cabinet space
to meet all local related safety
standards.
