Bill Acceptors

AL$ ($1, $5, $10 and $20)
Technology Overview
Multiple, multi-function optical sensors perform a greater number of authenticity tests on submitted bills before they can be accepted. Also act as a safeguard against specific types of cheats.

Overall broad-area sensing takes in more of the bill's surface to help determine acceptability. Aids in maintaining high accuracy and security levels.

Socketed software chip provides flexibility and ease of future software upgrades to improve performance and enhance security protection, if required.

Fast bill transport speed, approximately 10 inches per second, makes bill insertion quick and convenient for the customer.

Disable capacity provides flexibility to restrict acceptance of selected denominations, as desired. To maximize machine compatibility, this capability can be activated and deactivated either manually (by switch settings on the acceptor) or automatically (when provided by the equipment OEM).

Configuration flexibility enables operator to specify upstacker, downstacker or stackerless setup, left or right control. magazine size, voltage, etc., to optimize the unit for a specific application.

Stacked bill correction keeps bills already in magazine from shifting, which can block incoming bills. Enables magazine to fill to capacity.

Extensive Testing and quality control maximize accuracy, reliability and performance.

Enhanced technology delivers improved performance, greater security and higher levels of confidence for amusement and lottery applications.
