more information on these modules refer to page 8 of the CASHFLOW SC83 ® Installation

aid to crews who frequently arrange cashboxes by position to signal that they are full or
empty.
3) What is the purpose of the USB and 8-pin connectors on the front of the Acceptor
Module?
The USB connector is used to connect a PPM (Portable Programming Module) to a
CASHFLOW SC83
®
unit. The PPM is used to download new software into a CASHFLOW

enable signals in some lighted entry guides that get installed on the note acceptor. Some
entry guides do not plug into the note acceptor, they plug directly to the host machine.

®
Flash units and PROM units in the
field?
Flash versions of CASHFLOW SC83

updated by replacing the PROM Chip that is located under the yellow acceptor latch on
the acceptor.
5) What is a PPM (Cashflow Portable Programming Module) and how does it work?
A PPM is a yellow handheld device that is programmed by MEI and is used to download
software into a CASHFLOW SC83

red and green LED and 2 USB connectors. To use a PPM, first connect a USB harness to
the front of a CASHFLOW SC83
® unit then connect the other end to the PPM. Then press
the yellow button and the PPM downloads new software into the CASHFLOW SC83
