Section 1

7.  Ensure that the Host Machine is designed consid-

ering the risk of electronic components that can 

cause induced noise. The noise generated by the 

components on the Host Machine may affect and 

degrade the Validation performance. 

Mounting, Dismounting & Transportation

Methods for mounting, dismounting & 



transporting the RBA-40C Unit:

1.  Be sure to turn the Unit’s Power OFF before 

mounting or removing the Unit from its perma-

nent location. Plugging or unplugging Connec-

tors from their Receptacles while the Power is 

ON may cause damage to the Unit.

2.  When reassembling a disassembled Unit Section, 

ensure that each part is properly replaced into its 



correct location.

3.  Be careful not to use excessive outside pressure 

on the Unit, or subject it to excessive vibration 

during transportation.

4.  Do not throw or apply external pressure on the 

Unit. Improper handling may cause personal 

injury and/or damage to the equipment.

5.  Be sure to carry the Unit by both hands when 

transporting it for your safety.

Operation Cautions

The Operation Cautions are defined as follows:

1.  When closing the Unit, ensure all Service Door 

including the Upper Guide locks securely. 

2.  Ensure that the RBA-40C Unit is properly placed 

into its correct location.

Preventive Maintenance

The preventive maintenance requirements are 

defined as follows:

1.  Be sure to turn the Unit’s Power OFF before 

beginning a cleaning or maintenance procedure. 



Cleaning or performing maintenance while the 

Power is turned on may cause personal injury if 

the Unit mechanisms accidentally move.

2.  To keep the RBA-40C Unit’s performance and 

Banknote acceptance at optimal rates, clean and 

maintain the Unit regularly. (Refer to “Cleaning 

Procedures” on page 12 for the cleaning proce-

dures and schedule).

3.  Perform cleaning and maintenance regularly 

when using the equipment in an smoky environ-

ment such as where excessive Automobile 

exhaust emission or Cigarette Smoke may exist.

4.  Do not redesign or disassemble the Unit. 



Unauthorized use by inadequately trained 



personnel, or use outside the original manufac-

turer’s intent voids the warranty. 

5.  If the Unit is exposed to water or other liquids, 

use a clean Micro-fiber Cloth to wipe off and 

absorb excess liquids immediately. Any 



remaining liquids may affect and degrade the 

Sensors and Validation performance.

Design the Host Cabinet space to meet 

all local related safety standards.

WARNING: Make sure Interface Harness 

connections to the Host Machine are 

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. (Refer to “Connector Pin 

Assignment” on page 9 for the 

recommended wires).

WARNING: Do not inject water or liquid 
agents of any kind into the Unit, as this
