Section 1 Universal Bill Acceptor (UBA-1x-SS & UBA-x4-SS/SU) General Information
Model/Type Number Specifications Precautions
The Figure 1-2 symbols are defined as follows:
1. (Type 1) Do not insert a torn, folded, or wet
Banknote, as this action may cause a Bank-
note jam inside the unit.
2. (Type 2) Do not expose the unit to water.
The unit contains several precision elec-
tronic devices which can be damaged if
water or any liquid is sprayed or spilled into
the unit.
3. (Type 3) Do not install the unit into a dusty
environment. Dust may affect and degrade
the sensor’s performance.
User Cautions
1. Be sure to turn the power off before plugging
or unplugging connectors.
2. Firmly close the Unit’s Transport path before
applying power.
3. When closing the Unit, ensure all service
door locks click into place. Make sure to
open and close the Unit’s Banknote path
access ports gently, and take care that no dust
or other foreign objects enter when opening
the guide area.
4. Do not allow inventory stock to endure high
temperature, high humidity or a dusty
environment.
5. Do not throw the Unit or drop it to the
ground. Improper handling may cause per-
sonal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
6. When opening the Upper Guide, hold the
guide up since it does not stay in the open
position by itself.
7. If the Bill Validator is dirty due to dust,
foreign objects, or other such debris adhering
to it, Banknote acceptance rate will degrade.

General Information Universal Bill Acceptor (UBA-1x-SS & UBA-x4-SS/SU) Section 1
Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild non-
abrasive soap and water solution to clean
dust and debris from the Banknote’s path.
A new JCM authorized Waffletechnology
Cleaning Card is now available for quick
cleaning of the UBA Unit. Refer to page 2-
11 of Section 2 of this Service Manual for
more information on using the Waffletech-
nology Cleaning Card.
8. Inserting worn or damaged Banknotes may
cause a jam. If a jam occurs when the Cen-
tering Mechanism is closed, the Cover will
not open. To unjam the Unit when in this
condition, recycle Power to allow the Unit to
reset. Refer to “Clearing a Banknote Jam” on
page 2-10 of Section 2 of this Service Man-
ual for more information on clearing Ban-
knote jams.
Under no circumstances allow the cloth
to be wet enough to allow excess fluid
to run into the device; internal Printed
Circuit Boards may be damaged. Do not
use any Alcohol, solvents or scouring
agents which can attack the plastic
surfaces of the device.

Section 1 Universal Bill Acceptor (UBA-1x-SS & UBA-x4-SS/SU) General Information
System Configuration
Primary Features
The UBA Series of Bill Validators contains the fol-
lowing primary features:
• Automatic Centering
– The automatic centering mechanism allows
the unit to read Banknotes ranging from 62
to 85mm in width without using special
Banknote guides (See Figure 1-6). It helps to
improve the overall acceptance rate.
• Proven Anti-pullback (anti-fishing)
Technology
– This JCM patented Anti-Pullback
Mechanism provides powerful protection
against Banknote stringing.
– The drum rotates every time a Banknote
passes through the unit, and tangles around
any foreign object attached to the Banknote,
such as string and/or tape (See Figure 1-7).
Figure 1-5 illustrates a typical UBA system configuration.
Figure 1-5 UBA System Configuration
* a standard UBA Faceplate can be instantly connected. If
connecting a custom designed Faceplate, refer to Table 2-5 on
page 2-6 of Section 2 for proper Connector and Pin Assignment
information.
†a PC can be connected to download software and perform
adjustments. For details concerning software downloading
and adjustment procedures, refer to Section 6 of this Manual.

General Information Universal Bill Acceptor (UBA-1x-SS & UBA-x4-SS/SU) Section 1
– If any foreign object is detected, the UBA
does not issue credit to the host controller.
• Changeable Photo-Coupler Isolation/RS-
232C Communication
– Onboard electronics allows the use of TTL
or RS-232C communication without
requiring additional signal conversion
boards.
• Plastic Cash Box
– Durable and impact-resistant plastic
construction assures secure cash handling.
– Equipped with dispute resolving windows to
reveal the denominational value of last the
last Banknote inserted (See Figure 1-8).
• ICB System (Optional)
– This JCM patented Intelligent Cash Box
(ICB) system is designed to increase the
casino operators efficiency by reducing
common errors prevalent in casino drop and
count processes. In addition to time and cost
savings, the ICB system provides an
accumulated data analysis for accountability
and profitability.
NOTE: See Figure 2-11 and Figure 2-12
in Section 2 of this Manual for Jumper
Configuration combination settings.
