Chassis Mounting Recommendations
The chassis must be supported from underneath and be bolted to the host housing. The Dimension Drawing (Figure 1-3) shows
the location of the chassis mounting hardware (notes 1 through 4).
As a minimum, secure the chassis to the host housing by bolting:
a. One side and the bottom of the chassis to the housing.
b. One side and the back of the chassis to the housing. (Although the chassis must be supported from underneath, it is not
necessary to bolt the bottom if the back is bolted to the host housing.)
c. Both sides of the chassis to the housing. (Bottom support is not required.)
Features
The Money Controls Imbedded Bill Acceptor System 5 (IBA5) has a number of features that minimize the need for
maintenance, and simplify installation and operation:
- MODULAR DESIGN: The acceptor and cassette stacker are easily removed from the chassis. The acceptor provides
all mechanical drive for itself and the cassette stacker. This simplified design makes the cassette stacker useful as an
exchangeable, lockable cash box.
- SOFTWARE-CONTROLLED OPERATING SYSTEM: A microprocessor located in the acceptor controls: note
identification, note handling, stacking, and communication with the host. Output signals indicate note denomination
and acceptor status. Two drive motors in the acceptor drive the acceptor and the cassette stacker components.
- BENCH TEST DIAGNOSTICS: The IBA5 software includes a Computer Analysis Program System (CAPS). When a
CAPS Interface board connects the IBA5 to a Personal Computer, the computer can access the CAPS software. The
computer then monitors and operates some System components for diagnostic and bench test functions.
- LOCKABLE CASSETTE STACKER: The cassette stacker contains locations for two independent key locks for
maximum security.
- STABLE, RELIABLE OPERATION: Note / coupon recognition devices are self-compensating and require no
adjustments or maintenance. Systems are ready for immediate installation.
- 13VDC OPERATION: The ARDAC IBA5 System operates from a single, regulated 13Vdc source which must be
supplied by the host system.
- EASY ACCESS TO THE NOTE PATH FOR MAINTENANCE: The acceptor opens to fully expose the sensors and
note transport mechanism. This facilitates inspection, cleaning, and servicing.
- SOLID CONSTRUCTION: Structural components of the acceptor and cassette stacker are made of ruggedized plastic.
The mounting chassis is made of welded steel construction for durability, strength, and security.
- STRING DETECTOR: This security system provides maximum protection against all types of stringing and numerous
other intrusive fraud devices.
