PRODUCT OVERVIEW
CashCode’s FrontLoad bill validator was developed to validate a wide variety of currencies. The
unit’s modular design provides extreme flexibility, allowing you to customize the bill validator to suit
your individual requirements.

The CashCode FrontLoad bill validator provides front access to a lockable cassette.

The FrontLoad bill validator consists of six main modules. Each module is available in different
variations, to suit your needs. The picture below illustrates the different modules.

 FrontLoad Bill validator Series - Operation Manual

The FrontLoad bill validator is designed accommodate bills 62 to 82 mm wide and 125 to 172 mm
llong – which encompasses most currencies.

Certain currencies have varying widths for diferent denominations. For proper handling of such
currencies, the Validating Head with a centering mechanism should be used. For currencies with
fixed-width, a fixed width Validating Head can be used.

Replaceable “Sense-a-Click™” sensor pak modules validate a specific currency, depending on the
type of sensor pak. The Power Interface module offers different interface options. The lockable-
removable Cassette is used for temporary storage of validated bills. It can be locked with two
standard ¾” tubular locks . The Cassette is available in two sizes: 600 or 1000 bill capacity.

Sense-a-Click
(upper)

Sense-a-Click
(lower)

The Validating Head carries a set of Sense-a-Click™ sensor pak modules

Bill Capacity (600 or 1000 bills) refers to the amount of new bills that the Cassette can store. This
capacity however gets reduced when street grade bills are stored, due to their greater space require-
ment. The Housing joins all the other modules. Housing is permanently secured inside a Gaming
or Vending machine. There may be a mechanism for locking the Cassette within the Housing (Lock
Bracket), or there may be a Plain Bracket. The Housing also contains security switches, which
detect Cassette removal. Several Bezel styles are available for the FrontLoad. Software updates can
be easily completed with a Memory Card.

This modular design of the FrontLoad validator allows for replacement of failed modules in the field –
in just seconds!

CASSETTE

The Cassette stores validated bills and holds them in a stacked formation. The Cassette has a
stacking mechanism and is typically equipped with a plastic lock. Users are encouraged to replace
the plastic lock with a secure type. Cassettes are available with one lock – or two lock option for
added security. The locking mechanism allows for installation of security locks (one or two 3/4”
tubular locks measuring 11/16”±1/16” or 11/8”±1/16”).
Cassettes are available in two sizes – 600 and 1000 bill storage capacity. Street grade bills
require more space and as a result, less bills may be stored. Cassettes are supplied with a foldable
handle, but where space inside the machine is limited, they may be ordered without handle.
Cassettes are designed to store bills 62 to 82 mm wide, and 140 to 172 mm long. For shorter
bills, 125 to 150 mm in length, a modified cassettes are recommended.
The Cassette may be ordered with mounting parts for installation of the Touch Memory (Dallas
Chip). The proper type of Power Interface Module must be ordered to communicate with the Dallas
Chip.
The Cassette is not included with the Bill Validator and must be ordered separately.

MEMORY CARD AND SOFTWARE UPDATE OPTIONS

CashCode FrontLoad Bill Validators are delivered with pre-installed software. A “Dummy Card” is
normally placed in the Memory Card slot to identify the installed software. Software updates are
released when new currency is issued, or when security is improved.

Software updates are offered in three options:

1) Single-download Memory Card. The software is downloaded when the card is inserted in the
slot, and the Validating Head is powered on. The Memory Card must remain in the slot for the Bill
Validator to operate.

2)Multi-download Memory Card. The software is downloaded when the card is inserted in the slot,
and the Validating Head is powered on. The Memory Card can be used to update a number of
FrontLoad Bill Validators, depending on the number of licences ordered.

3)Group enabled Memory Card. This allows for download of new software using CCNET protocol.
This memory card carries a special customer ID and it must remain in the Validating Head at all times.

Memory Card replacement and software updates are described in the section called “SOFTWARE
UPDATES”.

CHOOSING PART NUMBERS FOR THE BILL VALIDATOR

Part numbers for the FrontLoad Bill Validator consist of two parts: a hardware part number and a
software part number.
Example: MFL-0101US1701

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.

Please keep in mind that Cassettes must be ordered separately.

Sept. 2009 Part 1. Operation Manual PAGE 1-33

 FrontLoad Bill validator Series - Operation Manual

INSTALLATION

The Bill Validator is installed by using (3) M4 screws on each side of the FrontLoad frame. The length
of these screws should not be longer than required, otherwise they may protrude through the inside of
the frame.

If the position of the mounting screws is different than the position of the mounting holes provided in
the target equipment, then additional frame mounting components may be required.

The FrontLoad Bill Validator can also be

secured through the holes in the rear
wall of the Housing. In this case, M3
screws and locator pins can be used.

For dimensions of the mounting holes,

please refer to the dimensional drawings
(page 8 to 13).

Four screws M3, Pan Head

TROUBLESHOOTING

CashCode’s FrontLoad Bill Validator is equipped with a self-diagnostic feature to aid in repair and
maintenance. When the power to the Bill Validator is turned ON, the Bill Validator begins its self-
diagnostic operation.

If the self-diagnostic test is passed, then the status light will turn green. If an error is detected, then
the status light on the front of the Bill Validator will blink red.

The number of times the red light flashes on the Bill Validator, is an indication of a specific problem or
malfunction. A detailed list of these errors and corrective action is provided in the Diagnostics section
to follow.
