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 doing the following:
a. Bolt one side and the bottom of the chassis to the housing.
b. Bolt 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. Bolt both sides of the chassis to the housing. (Bottom support is not required.)
Features
The Money Controls World Acceptor Cassette System 2 (WACS-2) has a number of features which 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.
- FIRMWARE-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.
- LOCKABLE CASSETTE STACKER: The cassette stacker contains locations for two independent key locks for
maximum security.
- STABLE, RELIABLE OPERATION: Note recognition devices are self-compensating and require no adjustments or
maintenance. Systems are ready for immediate installation.
- 12-24VDC OPERATION: The ARDAC WACS-2 System operates from a single, regulated DC 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, cassette stacker, and mounting chassis are 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 cheating devices.
- Optional Smart Cassette data tracking system allows user to download data detailing the amount of money and the
quantity of notes directly from the cash box without the need to unlock and open it.
