Note Validator Assembly
Note Validator
Note Validator
The Note Validator receives notes that are entered through the Note Bezel and accepts or rejects
notes by testing them. If the Note Validator rejects a note, the note returns to the patron through the
Note Validator Bezel. If the Note Validator accepts the note, it adds the value of the note in credits to
the Credit Meter, and the note is guided into the Note Stacker for storage.

Note: The Note Validator Head can be separated on a pivot to provide access to clear minor note jam
clearances.
The Note Validator incorporates an illuminated bezel that indicates to the patron whether the Note
Validator can accept notes and a label showing which denominations. The illuminated bezel
incorporates rows of LED’s which normally illuminate sequentially, indicating that notes may be
entered into the terminal. Constant illumination of a single row of LED’s indicates a Validator fault.
Note Stacker
The Note Stacker provides a secure facility for storing notes (up to 500) accepted by the Note
Validator. After removing the Note Stacker from the terminal, unlock the Note Stacker lock to
remove the notes. The interior of the stacker accommodates a mechanism that retains the notes
under spring tension once they have been inserted.

Basic Operation
Power Up
When the terminal has been set up, turn it on using the Wagering Terminal Main Power Switch
located on left hand side of the Logic Cage. When the terminal is switched on it undergoes an
initialization sequence where many testing functions are carried out automatically. If the terminal
passes the Self-Audit Tests during initialization the Game Display Screen will be automatically
displayed after approximately 45 – 60 seconds.
Play Mode
The terminal can be deemed to be in Play Mode when the terminal is turned on (and initialization has
taken place), the Main Door is closed, and locked and no active lockup conditions exist.
Indications that the game is available for play are the illumination of the lamps in the buttons on the
Button Panel to attract patron attention. Other visual indications include “PLAY NOW” being displayed
in the Status Display and the absence of the Message Panel display (which would obscure the game
reels).
Game Display
All game displays are for entertainment purposes only. Actual results are determined by the server
system and jurisdictional requirements.
The A560X-ST Wagering Terminal has a 24” bottom and 27” Top LCD Panel and an optional LCD
topper display.
