1.1 Banknote reader structure
The BT11 banknote reader consists of a reading head that reads the banknote and
validates it against a set of patterns it has stored in memory. Should the banknote be
recognised, it is sent to a stacker used for storing the banknotes.
The standard front cover of the banknote reader has several status LEDs, 10 of them
are blue and 4 are red, which show the reader’s activity at all times as well as possible
failures. There is a special model with 10 red LEDs and 4 yellow LEDs. In the rest of
this manual, every time there is a mention to the LED colour it is referred to the
standard front cover.
