This chapter outlines:
•How to unpack the note validator
•How to mount the note validator
Unpack the note validator and immediately inspect it for damage.
Keep the original packing materials for shipping or transporting the note validator.
Only the person or company receiving the note validator can file a claim against the carrier for concealed damages.
If the unit is damaged:
Return it to its original carton along with packing materials.
Notify the delivering carrier of damages and request immediate inspection.
Send a letter of intent to file a claim to the carrier within 72 hours from the time of delivery.
Send a copy of the letter to the shipper.
The Talos T6/T8 note validator is designed to fit into the standard note validator opening in most host machines and can be mounted on
existing studs provided by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Some host machines require brackets or faceplates to mount the unit properly. Refer to the host machine's operation manual or contact the
distributor/OEM for more model-specific mounting information.
To mount the note validator in the host machine:
Risk of electric shock.
Ensure host machine power is OFF when installing, maintaining, or cleaning the Talos T6/T8 note validator.
Electric shock can cause serious injury or death.
Turn off power to the host machine.
Mount the note validator on the mounting studs, through the opening on the front of the host machine, and secure it using the included
hardware.
Connect the note validator to the appropriate interface harness.
•Install the (12) pin connector into the bottom of the interface slot, matching connector keys to blank pin locations. See Figure 1.
•Apply gentle pressure to connect; the pins will bend if forced.
•A power cord (available separately —Part Number 01-12-139C, 115 V only) may be used for supplying power to the note validator
and for routing pulse credits to a coin switch.

On 115 V units, attach the ring terminal of the grounding wire to an earth ground location within the machine. Secure with appropriate
hardware. See Figure 1. To provide strain relief, wrap the enclosed tie-wrap around the closest mounting stud, harness wires, and
ground wire, then pull tie wrap tightly.
On 12 VDC and 24 VAC units, if a metal plate mount is used, connect the ground to the chassis of the host machine. Ensure that the
host machine is properly grounded.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO OEMs: Step 4 must be performed prior to Machine Dielectric Voltage –Withstand Testing Hi-Pot.
Turn on power to the host machine.
Check the LEDs on the front of the note validator. The LEDs should be flashing. In some cases, the machine door must be closed first. If
the LEDs are still not flashing, please refer to Section 5 of this guide to properly configure the note validator.
Once the LEDs are flashing, test the validator with a note.
Insert the note into the validator. Confirm that the note stacks and credit is given.
If your machine uses a pulse interface, make sure that the “Pulse Width” and “Pulses Per Dollar” options are configured properly
on the T6/T8 for proper credit. See Section 5 of this guide.
Repeat this process for other enabled notes.
When the test is complete, remove the test notes from the note magazine.
The installation is now complete.
