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

PRODUCT
OVERVIEW
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 Validating Head carries a set of Sense-a-Click™sensor pak 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, de-
pending 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
bill capacity.
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 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!

MODULAR SYSTEM
The Validating Head has the following options:
1) The Validating Head with a fixed-width path is available for bill widths 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72,
74, 76, 78, 80 and 82 mm.
2) The Validating Head with a centering mechanism has a self-adjustable bill path. The width
of the path is automatically adjusted to accommodate each bill. This type of Validating
Head is used for currencies where the width of the bill changes with the denomination.
VALIDATING HEAD
A Modular System is an interchangeable group of parts – easily configured to a user’s specifications.
Below is a more detailed description of each module and its features.

“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.

The Power Interface Module offers the following options:
1) Input power: 12 VDC or 24 VDC;
2) Interface (see chart below for complete list of interfaces);
3) Model: reflects type of electronics within (A – with linear voltage regulation, B – with switching
voltage regulation). Model B provides higher power and must be used when additional modules are
included in the FrontLoad Bill Validator (e.g. Smart Card Reader)
4) Connector for Cassette Touch Memory (Dallas Chip) – a system which helps manage cash flow
and collects statistics from the Bill Validator.
