Shipping Damage  

When a product is returned to the owner after service, only consignee (the person or company 
receiving the bill acceptor) can file a claim against the carrier for concealed damages.  Therefore, 
unpack immediately.  Notify the delivery carrier of damages and request immediate inspection.  Send 
a letter of intent to file claim to the carrier within 72 hours from the time of receipt.  Send a copy of this 
letter to the shipper.  
  

Service  

For service information, please contact Pyramid Technologies, Inc. for a Service Center near you. For 
any items returned under warranty or for repair, complete written information including the serial and 
model number as well as a description of the malfunction or defects must be submitted to the Service 
Center when requesting a Return Material Authorization number (RMA number).  Owner accepts full 
responsibility for any return without prior authorization.  The RMA number must be displayed on the 
exterior of the returned product carton(s).

 

 

Unpacking the Bill Acceptor 

Immediately inspect the bill acceptor for damage when unpacking it. If the acceptor is damaged, place 
it back in its original carton along with the packing materials. Notify the carrier of damages and request 
an immediate inspection of the package. Send a letter of intent to file a claim to the carrier within 72 
hours from time of delivery. Please also send a copy of this letter to the shipper. Only the person or 
company receiving the bill acceptor can file a claim against the carrier for concealed damages. 

 
Installation/Mounting

 

The Apex bill acceptor has been designed to easily mount onto existing studs in OEM equipment. If 
you are mounting the acceptor to a wood panel or door, you may require our optional Adapter Bracket  

(P/N 95AB0001)

 
To install the acceptor, disconnect all power to the machine. Connect the interface cable from the machine 
to the acceptor. (On 120 VAC units, connect the 9-pin power plug to the machine. Install the green ring 
terminal ground wire to a stud that is part of the grounded frame). Secure the harnesses in place using the 
provided tie wraps. 

 
Configuration using a Windows PC 

This method allows you to change the configuration of the Apex acceptor easily. 

For Apex 7000, all DIP 

Switch positions must be set to OFF for PC Configuration.

 Please visit our website under the Support 

Section for more details. Requires Acceptor Tools software (free download), and 05AA0026 USB Cable. 

 

Configuration using the DIP Switches (Apex 7000 only) 

For Apex 7000 models equipped with an 8-position DIP Switch, it is possible to 
set most configuration options quickly by toggling the switch positions.  
 
If 

any

 of the 8 positions are set to the “

ON

” position, the DIP Switch settings will 

override any configuration settings established by PC or Configuration Card.  
 
If 

all

 of the DIP Switch positions are set to the “

OFF

” position (factory default), 

the DIP Switch Configuration is disabled, and the acceptor will revert to any 
configuration settings previously established by a Configuration Card, or by the 
Acceptor Tools PC Software. 
 

Enabling Bill Denominations

 

Toggle DIP Positions 1 through 4 ON or OFF to enable or disable the first four 
bill denominations. For 7600 ($1 through $100) models, the $50 and $100 bills 
(Bills 5 & 6) will become enabled whenever Bill 4 ($20) is enabled. 

 

Example: An Apex 7400 for USA normally accepts the $1, $5, $10, and $20 

 

bills. To turn off the $10 and $20 so that only the $1 and $5 are accepted, 

 

simply toggle DIP Positions 1 & 2 to the ON position, and set 3 & 4 to OFF. 

  

Limiting Acceptance Directions

 

To accept bills in all four insertion directions, toggle DIP Position 5 to the ON position. To limit acceptance to 
left-end, face-up only insertion, toggle DIP Position 5 to the OFF position.
