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.

The FrontLoad bill validator is designed accommodate bills of different sizes from 62 to 82 mm width,
and from 125 to 172 mm length – which encompasses most currencies.
Certain currencies have different widths depending on denomination. For accurate validation of such
currencies, the Validating Head with a centering mechanism should be used. For currencies of a
fixed-width, the Validating Head with a fixed-width path can be used.
Replaceable “Sense-a-Click™” sensor pak modules recognize and validate a specific currency,
depending on the hardware installed in the 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

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
amount of street grade bills may not be stored, due to their greater space requirement. 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 re-
moval. Several Bezel styles are available for the FrontLoad. Software updates can be easily com-
pleted with a Memory Card.

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

SENSE-A-CLICK® MODULES

“Sense-a-Click™” sensor paks are a set of two modules – one upper and one lower. In order to be
compatible with each other, both modules must have the same part and model number.
The Sense-a-Click™ set is identified by:
- Color and position of the optical sensors;
- Number and position of the Inductive sensors;
- Capacitive sensors;
- Model, which reflects the type of electronics housed within, and determines the
compatibility with other modules.

Part number of the Sense-a-Click for specific currency must be chosen by CashCode Engineering
department. Samples of Sense-a-Click part numbers can be found in the chart below. To get more
information about Sense-a-Click type, please register at www.cashcode.com.

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 regular metal one. Users have a choice between one lock – or
two locks for added security. A locking mechanism allows for the installation of a user’s secu-
rity locks (one or two 3/4” tubular locks measuring 11/16”±1/16” or 11/8”±1/16”).
The Cassette is available in two sizes – either a 600 and 1000 bill storage capacity. Street
grade bills require more space and as a result, less bills may be stored. The Cassette is
supplied with a foldable handle, but where space inside the machine is limited, a Cassette may
be ordered without a handle.
The Cassette can store bills from 62 to 82 mm wide, and from 140 to 172 mm long. For
bills from 125 to 150 mm in length, a modified Cassette may be ordered.
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.

 FrontLoad Bill Validator Series - Operation and Service Manual

MEMORY CARD AND SOFTWARE UPDATE OPTIONS

CashCode FrontLoad Bill Validators are supplied with pre-installed software, according to user’s
order. A “Dummy Card” is normally placed in the slot instead of a Memory Card. Software updates
are recommended whenever new currency is issued, or whenever a new series of counterfeit bills
appear on the market.
Software updates are offered in three options:
1)New software can be ordered with a single-download Memory Card. The software from the
new Memory Card is downloaded as soon as it is inserted into the slot, and the Validating Head is
powered on. The Memory Card must be present at all times for the Bill Validator to operate.
2)New software can be ordered with a multi-download Memory Card. The multi-download
Memory Card allows the operation of the FrontLoad Bill Validator without the Memory Card. Thus the
Memory Card can be used for updating the next FrontLoad Bill Validator, depending on the number of
licences ordered. Typically a multi-download Memory Card is issued for a limited number of down-
loads, and therefore the number of licences required must be defined in the user’s order.
3)A special Memory Card can be ordered, which allows the download of new software through
the interface connector. After the download, the Memory Card must be present in the Validating Head
at all times. If the host controller supports the CCNET interface, then the download can be done via
the host controller (and local network). Other interfaces do not support this download feature. Down-
loads in this case can be completed with any personal computer (PC or laptop) and a CashCode
adapter. (The Validator must be temporarily disconnected from the host controller).

Instructions for Memory Card replacement and software updates can be found in the chapter
called “SOFTWARE UPDATES” on page 43.

CHOOSING PART NUMBERS FOR THE BILL VALIDATOR

Final 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.
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.

 FrontLoad Bill Validator Series - Operation and Service 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 dimen-
sional drawings (page 8 to 13). INSTALLATION

INTERFACE CONNECTION
The FrontLoad Bill Validator has the flexibility to offer four different hardware interface options:

Type 1: Opto-Isolated, 12 Volt CC FLBDP.

Type 2: RS232 levels, 12 Volt CCNET (single slave mode) or CC-BDPS.
Type 3: Isolated Pulse Low Current, 12 Volt CC-IPL.
Type 4: RS232 levels, 24 Volt DC, CCNET (single slave mode) or CC-GPC22.

For types 1,2,4 the Host Controller may reset Bill Validator by holding line M-RES “active” for 1 mS.
This informs Bill Validator to abort any activity and return to its power-on reset state.

For detailed interface descriptions, please refer to the corresponding Interface Description Manual.

The manual may be downloaded from the CashCode website at www.cashcode.com .

The type of interface hardware depends on the base assembly interface module.

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.
