•
main features
•
princicpal modules and components the note validator/recycler consists of
•
functional elements required for the operation of the note validator/recycler
The BNA6 Advance & BNR Advance note validator and recycler is designed to validate different banknotes of one currency inserted into the
device for specific properties. Only valid banknotes are accepted and transported to the cash box for storage purposes. Suspicious or
damaged banknotes will be rejected.
The note recycler is a note validator with one or two recycling modules and an optional loading module. Depending on its configuration, the
note recycler transports the banknotes accepted and to be returned to your next customers as change to one of the recycling modules. All
other banknotes accepted are directed to the cash box for storage purposes. The loading module is used to refill the recycling module(s) and
enlarge change capacity.
2.1 Models
The
note validator and note recycler is a modular payment system.
All models are equipped with
an acceptance module at the top and a
cash box
. The bezel attached to the acceptance module and the
cash
box
are available in different versions (see sub-chapters below).
In addition to t
he acceptance module and cash box, note recyclers
provide one or two
recycling modules depending on the recycling
capacity needed, which can even be expanded with a
loading
module
.
The
figures in this user guide exemplify a BNR4-
21 model
with two recycli
ng and a loading module (see Fig. 2).

2.1.1 BNA6 note validator models
The note validator models differ in the
capacity size of the cash box:
BNA6 Advance M note validator
(up to 1400 banknotes)
BNA6 Advance L note validator
(up to 2200 banknotes)

2.1.2 BNR note recycler models
The note recycler models differ in the chassis size, recycling and cash box capacity, with the first digit of the model name defining the
number of optional recycling, loading modules, and cash box and the two digits following the hyphen specifying how many recycling and
loading modules are included. The last ‘M’ or ‘L’ letter reveals the cash box size. If no letter is appended, the note recycler provides a
standard S cash box (see chapter 2.1.4 “Cash box ”, p. 8).
BNR4.. chassis can include up to 4 modules (recycling/loading
module, cash box, cash box is always included), e.g.:
•..-21 providing 2 recycling and 1 loading module (see Fig. 5)
•..-10 providing 1 recycling and no loading module (see Fig. 6 ())
Fig. 5: BNR4-21 Advance note recycler Fig. 6: BNA4-10 Advance note recycler
BNR3.. chassis can include up to 3 modules (recycling/loading
module, cash box, cash box is always included), e.g.:
•..-11 providing 1 recycling and 1 loading module (see Fig. 7)
•..-10 providing 1 recycling and no loading module (see Fig. 8 )
Fig. 7: BNR3-11 Advance note recycler Fig. 8: BNR3-10 Advance note recycler
BNR2.. chassis can include up to 2 modules (recycling module,

The note recycler consists of an:
Acceptance module
Cash box
One or two recycling modules
Optional loading module
2.3.1 Acceptance module
If the two insertion LEDs are green [1], the note validator/recycler is ready to
process banknotes inserted into the insertion slot [2]. In the acceptance
module [3], the banknotes pass sensors checking their material, properties and
dimensions. When the banknote properties do not correspond to the property
values programmed in this recycler, the banknote is returned through this same
slot [2] by default while the two top status LEDs are flashing green [1]. When the
banknote properties accord with the values programmed, the banknote is
transported to either one of the recycling modules [4] (if available) or the cash
box [5].
Depending on the individual validator/recycler configuration, only some instead of
all banknotes of a currency are supposed to be accepted. Some of them can be
disabled and will not be accepted.
The acceptance module bundler can temporarily collect and bundle up to
15 accepted banknotes of a current transaction. The host machine can thus decide
on either returning the bundled banknotes or transporting them to the cash box
following an appropriate command depending on a transaction cancellation or the
note recycler's change stock for instance.
2.3.2 Recycling module(s) (note recycler only)
The recycling modules [1] temporarily store banknotes, which are supposed to be
paid out as change to your next customers through the recycler's payout slot [2].
The two payout LEDs [3] are then flashing green. The note recycler is able to pay
out a bundle of up to 15 notes. Excess banknotes stored in the recycling modules
can be transferred to the cash box [4] for permanent storage. In case, a recycling
module is full, banknotes are transferred to the cash box automatically.
The upper recycling module is labeled A [5], the lower module is labeled B (see
module front label in Fig. 19).
Most of the applications require a minimum change stock to remain in the recycling
module(s) for the next day. This minimum stock varies depending on the recycler
customization and integration choices. It will not be transferred to the cash box
when the recycling module is empty to this defined level.
Depending on the change demand, the note recycler has one, two or even three
recycling modules. One recycling cassette is able to recycle up to 90 banknotes of
one or two different denominations. A note recycler with two recycling cassettes
thus allows flexible recycling of 180 banknotes of one to four different
denominations, a note recycler with three recycling cassettes even 270 of one to
six denominations.

Published by CPI 01_CPI_BNA6 Advance Note Validator-
BNR Advance Note Recycler_User Guide_V2.0_EN
The individual recycler configuration determines
what denominations are to be directed to the recycling modules or to the cash box.
how many banknotes should remain in each recycling module as minimum change stock for the next day, which cannot be transferred to
the cash box.
You need the interlock system key to remove the recycling modules.
2.3.3 Loading module (note recycler only)
The optional loading module [1] of the note recycler is used to reload the recycling modules. For this, it
can be removed and filled with up to approx. 250 banknotes of the denominations stored in the
recycling modules. To guarantee proper operation, these banknotes have to be of the same size and
meet some quality requirements (see chapter 4.4.2.1 “Quality requirements for banknotes”, p. 35).
You need the interlock system key to remove the loading module from the note recycler and another
key to open the cassette for refilling purposes (see chapter 2.4.1 “Key locks”, p. 13).
2.3.4 Cash box
All banknotes accepted, which are not stored in the recycling modules temporarily, will be transported
to the cash box [1]. Here they are permanently stored in a secure and removable cash storage
cassette. You need the interlock system key to remove the cash box from the note recycler and
another key to open the cash box for emptying purposes.
The cash box may only be rein
serted in rearmed condition! Meaning that it has to be
opened and closed again before it can be reinserted.
Before removing
the cash box, please make sure, that you have access to either the key of
the cash box you want to remove or another
rearmed cash box (indicator is green) for
replacement purposes
