terms and components are illustrated in Figure 1-1.
- The terms Money Controls World Acceptor Cassette System 2, ARDAC WACS-2 and System describe the
complete system, which includes all three modules (note acceptor, cassette stacker, and chassis).

are chassis components.

which actively transports and identifies the notes.

acceptor and stored in the stacker.
- The terms “Smart Cassette System”, “Smart System” and “Smart Cash box” refer to an option that can be
installed on new systems ordered that allow tracking of system data in a memory button located on the cash
box.
