Cabinet Body Assembly
The Cabinet Body Assembly consists of four major assemblies: The Main Cabinet Assembly, the Main
Door, the Belly Door Assembly and the Monitor Door Assembly.
There are three lock assemblies mounted on the right side of the cabinet. The front lock (Belly Door
Lock) secures the Belly Door. A large button and lock at the side of the door assembly once unlocked
and depressed opens the belly door for access to the Bill Acceptor Cashbox Door; the middle door lock
(Main Door Lock) secures the Main Door Locking Bar. A knurled lever (Main Door Release) protruding
from the right side of the terminal below this lock opens the Main Door. The rear lock is a switch (Credit
Reset / Audit Mode Switch) that enables the operator to perform Credit Reset and Audit Mode functions.

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, the note is guided into the Note Stacker for
storage, the value of the note in credits is added to the Credit Meter.

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 location 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, labelled below. The interior of the stacker accommodates a mechanism that retains the
notes under spring tension once they have been inserted.
