Bill Dispenser Considerations
The performance and life of the bill dispenser supplied with your machine is limited to
the particular manufacturers' specifications. Most bill dispensers will perform more
reliably in environments that have low humidity and are operated between a 0
o
C (32
o
F)
and 50
o
C (122
o
F) ambient temperature. A cabinet heating kit will help keep the humidity
level low during daily temperature transitions (night to day when humidity can increase
rapidly) and seasonal changes.
Installation Details
Cabinet Installation Instructions
Standard Change-Makers manufactures change machines in the following cabinet styles:
1) Free standing consoles, 2) Front loading wall mount, 3) Through-the-wall rear load
and 4) Slim-line vending changer. Because physical locations vary, we do not suggest an
exact method of installation. To assure proper operation of your changer the following
general guidelines should be observed:
Location of the Changer
The following points should be considered when locating a changer:
Service Access:
Full swing of the door when opened for removing and
replenishing revenues.
User Access:
Easily accessed by customers and proper height from the floor.
The
height will vary depending upon the changer model. Accessibility for the handicapped, as
required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifies that all controls (coin
cup, coin insertion slots and bill acceptor slots) shall not be higher than 48” (1220 mm),
or no less than 15” (230 mm) from the floor for Forward Reach or “Straight On” access.
For Side Reach or “Side” Access, ADA requires that all controls shall not exceed 54”
(1370 mm), or no less than 9” (200 mm) from the floor.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) COMPLIANCE
Next page shows a chart listing each MC series cabinet model and the corresponding
MAXIMUM INSTALLATION HEIGHT
required to comply with the ADA height
standards. The measurement shown is taken from the bottom edge of the machine cabinet
to the floor. On FRONT LOAD machines this would be the bottom of the cabinet. On
REAR LOAD machines, these would be the bottom of the rough opening where the
cabinet would sit.
Additionally, ADA requires a 30” (760mm) by 48” (1220mm) “clear floor space” in front
of the machine to provide sufficient clearance for a single wheelchair and occupant to use
the machine.
