1. INTRODUCTION
Global Payment Technologies, Inc., welcomes you to our newest gen-
eration of Currency Validators known as SA-4. This product continues
our tradition of providing the very best in currency validation.
This guide describes installation, operation, simple troubleshooting,
and cleaning instructions for the back-stack and down-stack versions
of our SA-4product line (Figure 1). Both versions of SA-4can be
identified by the Part Number label. For sample part numbers that de-
note these versions, refer toSubsection 3.2.

2. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
The Currency Validator and Security Removable Cassette are pack-
aged with sufficient cushioning material to protect the equipment
during shipment. However, the shipping box or carton should be in-
spected for any signs of shipping damage (e.g., dents, breaks,
water/moisture damage), or other evidence of general mishandling.
If damage is found, file a complaint with the carrier, noting all damage,
and notify GPT of such action. Also, retain the original shipping box
and packaging material for inspection. Whenever possible, taking a
photograph of the damaged area may prove useful in documenting the
damage.

2.1 Unpacking
To unpack the equipment, proceed as follows:
?? Cut sealing tape at top of box and open the box.
?? Remove all parts from the box and lay them on a clean work-
station.
?? Refer to invoice, packing slip or shipment breakdown label
(used on cartons only) for a complete list of parts, and verify
that all parts are present.
?? Do not discard the shipping box until after all items pass in-
spection.
2.2 Inspection
After the equipment is removed from the shipping box or carton, in-
spect the following items:
?? External surfaces of the unit for signs of damage.
?? Connectors for physical damage, broken or bent pins.
?? Cables and accessories for physical damage, broken connec-
tors, and broken or bent pins.
If an item is damaged, report it to the carrier and to GPT immediately.
Also, do not discard the shipping box and its packaging material.
3. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
SA-4, which is available in a back-stack or a down-stack configuration,
has many features similar to our ARGUS unit. However, this model
validator provides a faster processing time of less than 200th/second
to validate currency. It also includes a front-drive axle with O-rings for
increased torque and Bando drive belts for reliable operation and
longer life.
For storing currency, a Security Removable Cassette (SRC) can be
mounted either directly below or behind the Currency Validator (Fig-
ure 2). The addition of a 400-bill, Universal SRC, provides maximum
security for storing currency from 62-mm to 85-mm wide. For all cur-
rency sizes, the Universal SRC is the only stacker needed for the
Currency Validator.
Designed with a configurable head, SA-4 is easily adaptable to meet
the needs of different customers. For customers who wish to use their
existing 70-mm SRCs for storing narrow-width currencies (i.e., up to
70-mm), SA-4 can be fitted with a specially-designed bezel and chan-
nel inserts. With this configuration, GPT’s 70-mm SRC can be used
instead of the Universal SRC to store narrow-width currencies.

The electrical interface between the Currency Validator and the SRC
is made by a blind-mate connector (i.e., standard AMP) or by an ex-
ternal cable (i.e., pigtail) connector. With either option, the Currency
Validator can be easily removed as needed.

(62-mm) to 3.35 inches (85-mm) wide; a range from 40 to
128 bank notes per database can be created for multi-
country, multi-note configurations.
?? Optics:
Uses red, green, blue, and infrared sensors to generate 56
channels of optical information for a multi-level, high-security
validation time of less than 200th/sec (maximum without a
SRC installed).
?? Interface/Protocol:?

3.2 Identifying Your Currency Validator
Affixed to the back of SA-4 are five labels (i.e., Part Number, Program,
Serial Number, Origin Country Code, and CE/Warning) that identify
major characteristics of the unit (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Currency Validator Label Identification
The xPart Numberxlabel contains the date (i.e., month and year)
that the Currency Validator was manufactured. It also contains an al-
phanumeric code that identifies the version number and the
configurable components (i.e., mechanical and electrical) of the unit.
The numbering scheme for the xPart Numberxlabel is defined below
(Figure 4):
304G XXXXXX
Mounting Pins (1= 4 pins; 2= 2 pins)
Stacker Connector Type
(1= standard AMP; 2= pigtail;
3, 5= stackerless; 4= reverse AMP;
6= outboard/pigtail combo connector)
Bezel Type (1= IDS; 2= IBS; 3= ALI;
4= IBS w/outboard bracket back panel)
Channel Width (1= 70-mm w/inserts; 2= 85-mm)
Main Connector Location (1= side; 2= front)
Input Voltage (1= 24 VDC; 2= 12 VDC)

The following is an example of a part number for SA-4:
Sample Part Number: 304G112211
where:
304G indicates SA-4 with common components
1indicates 24 VDC is required to operate the unit
1indicates side-mounted main connector
2indicates 85-mm channel width
2indicates IBS bezel for back-stack installation
1indicates STD AMP connector for stacker hookup
1indicates four mounting pins
The xProgramxlabel identifies the country and contains an 8-digit al-
phanumeric code that defines the software characteristics of the
Currency Validator. Two different numbering schemes are used to de-
fine single-country and multi-country databases. The numbering
scheme for a single-country database, shown for the 8-digit number
on the sample xProgramxlabel, is defined as follows (Figure 5): ?
?? The first two letters represent the ISO country code
?? The next two digits specify the database revision (up to 99,
maximum)
?? The remaining four characters specify the software revision.
The first character of the software revision is a letter that iden-
tifies the software type (e.g., network or non-network), and the
next three digits define the software revision number.
Note: If a detailed description of this matrix is required, con-
tact Customer Service (Section 9) for assistance.
A sample Program Label for single-country databases is de-
fined below:
E U 2 4 D 1 3 3

Database Revision is 24
