FrontLoad Bill Validator Series - Operation and Service Manual
Final part numbers for the FrontLoad Bill Validator consist of two parts: a hardware part number and
a software part number.
Example:
MFL
-
0101
US1701
Software part number
Hardware part number
Prefix (FL for FrontLoad, or
MFL Multi-width FrontLoad)
The Prefix defines the device class. Here FL means “FrontLoad Bill Validator” and MFL means “Multi-
width Front Load Bill Validator” (i.e. with a centering mechanism in the Validating Head).
The Hardware part number reflects the contents of the Bill Validator (i.e. Validating Head type,
Housing type, etc.)
The Software part number reflects country (currency) and communication protocol.
There is a special software program for choosing part numbers. (Please see the enclosed CD-
ROM program entitled “CONFIGURATOR.exe”.)
Before the user starts this program, the following information must be determined:
-
Country
(e.g. USA);
-
Protocol
(e.g. CCNET)
-
Power
(e.g. 12VDC)
- Type of
Bezel
(e.g. Standard)
-
Housing
options (ie: Cassette size, locking mechanism, additional cassette security switch)
When the program runs, menus will appear with all available options, including a comprehensive
help menu with detailed description and pictures.
Please keep in mind that
Cassettes must be ordered separately
. At least one Cassette per Bill
Validator will be needed, but the user may order additional quantities of Cassettes (ie: to switch Cas-
settes when collecting money).
In cases where the combination of features selected by the user is not possible, the user will
receive a message that the part number does not exist – and a letter to the CashCode Engineering
department will be generated. This system was choosen because the total number of all possible part
combinations can reach up to 70,000! As a result, part numbers are assigned gradually when an
actual request is received.
