Inspecting and Cleaning
When to Inspect and Clean
Inspecting and cleaning the UBA unit are tasks you
should perform during routine preventive
maintenance.
Procedure to Inspect
• Press down the transport unit release lever and
pull out the transport unit.
• Access the bill path by opening the transport unit.
• Make a visual check to see if any debris or liquid
have collected in the bill path.
• Check the belts (also in the transfer and stacker
units) to see if they are frayed, slick or worn.
If so, replace them.
• Check the sensor lenses to see if they have be-
come dirty, clouded or scratched.
If so, replace scratched or clouded lenses.
• Inspect if lenses are set flush with the bill path. If
not, open and press lenses back into position.
Procedure to Clean
• If possible, use compressed air for blowing debris
from the bill path and the cashbox.
• Use a lint-free cloth and a mild liquid detergent
mixed with water, such as dish detergent, or just
water.
• Ensure that the cloth is not liquid-saturated.
• Wipe the bill path, lenses and rollers.
• Wipe the belts lightly as you rotate them by hand.
• After wiping, inspect lenses to ensure that none
have been moved out of position.
• Allow drying before closing the acceptor and trans-
port assembly.

Note:
Never use dry abrasive type cleaners,
alcohol or any kind of solvent for cleaning
the acceptor. These products can damage
lenses and belts!

Software Download
Follow this procedure to download software to the
UBA unit. The acceptor can remain connected to the
host machine serving as a power supply.
Make sure to download only UBA files
approved by Atronic. Download of a file with
different currency than previously installed
will require a host machine RAM reset.*
1. Install the UBA Downloader application (V1.11 or
later) to your PC.
2. Check DIP switch setting. All DIP switches have to
be in OFF position.
If not, power down the host machine, then set the
DIP switches and power up the machine.
3. Connect an USB cable from PC to the UBA unit.
4. Start the UBA Downloader application.
5. Click on the BROWSE button and select an UBA
software file to be downloaded to the UBA flash
memory. Make sure to download only files approved
by Atronic.
6. Click the DOWNLOAD button to start the soft-
ware download. Do not interrupt the download pro-
gress.
7. When the download has completed, click on the OK
button and close the downloader application.
8. Power down the host machine and unplug the USB
cable.
9. Power up the host machine for re-initialization.
or host machine
SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
*Note:
If the host machine detects
that the currency version of
the bill acceptor software has
changed, the machine will lock
and inhibits all plays. A host
machine RAM reset is
necessary to initialize this new
bill acceptor software.
If only the minor version within
a currency version has
changed, a powercycle is
necessary to initialize this new
bill acceptor software.
For example:
Changing from US Dollar to
Euro will require a RAM reset.
Changing from Euro version
1.26-07 to Euro version 1.27-
08 will require a powercycle.
Note:
Always stick a label to the
acceptor that indicates the
downloaded software version.

Troubleshooting for UBA Units
Most bill acceptor failures are due to minor causes. Before replacing any part, make
sure that all assembly and circuit board connectors are properly fitted and the harness
is properly connected. Faulty bill acceptance is often caused when dust or iron powder
adheres to the sensors or belts. Clean the acceptor first, then observe the operating
state when initializing power. If the acceptor head has to be repaired by disassembling
it, always recalibrate the sensors following a repair.
Description
Bill acceptor is
not working
(does not accept
any bills).
Bill jams occur
often.
Low acceptance
rates.
Possible Fault Causes
No external power is applied.
Corrupted software.
CPU board failure.
Drive belts are dirty or damaged.
A pressure roller spring is loose or
missing.
A foreign object is lodged in the bill
path.
The transport unit is not properly
seated all the way into the frame.
The bill is wider than 85mm or
narrower than 62mm.
Dirt or stains on the rollers, belts
and lenses.
The unit has been disassembled, but
no calibration has been carried out.
Wrong or old software.
Sensor lenses are loose or missing.
Corrective Action Required
- Verify that the harness is properly connected.
- Check fuses at host machine (F2 on filterboard power).
Note: The small red LED next to the DIP switch block indicated
power available when lit.
Re-download the correct software.
Perform an initial operation test
(see original JCM manual for details).
Clean all drive belts and rollers. Change if necessary.
Check all rollers using a finger press test. Change if necessary.
Clean the bill path and inspect the cashbox for foreign objects.
Re-seat the transport unit back into the frame so that the
latches securly lock onto the frame.
Use only bills that keep the UBA specifications.
Clean the bill path.
Make sure to calibrate the sensors after re-assembling the
UBA unit (see original JCM manual for details).
Make sure the programmed software is the latest version
approved by Atronic, and it supports all bills being used.
Check software specifications for supported bill denomination,
bill issuing year, etc.
Sensor lenses require re-positioning. Contact technical
support.

UBA unit (see original JCM manual for details).
Firmly close the guide.
Open the upper guide and remove the foreign object or the
jammed bill.
Refer to original JCM manual and carry out Transport Motor
Rotation Test.
Check the interface connector and the harness for proper
connection. Check connectors for bent or damaged pins.
