System Description -Imbedded Bill Acceptor System 5 (ARDAC IBA5)
The Money Controls Imbedded Bill Acceptor System 5 (ARDAC IBA5) identifies, collects, and stacks
paper currency or the equivalent barcode ticket coupon into a secure, lockable, removable cassette stacker.
The IBA5 is a modular system consisting of a note acceptor, cassette stacker, and mounting chassis. These
three modules and other system components are identified and illustrated in Figure 1-1.
The IBA5 offers world capability and can be used for any country or currency set within the dimensional
limits detailed in the Specifications in this chapter. Changing acceptance from one country or currency set
to another is easily accomplished by updating the acceptor’s EPROM. The acceptor resident software
determines system operating features and the bank notes accepted. Refer to Table 1-1 for software and bank
note acceptance information.
Section 3, System Operation describes the functions and operations of the major System components.

Terminology
For convenience and clarity several terms are used interchangeably throughout this manual. These and other system
terms and components are illustrated in Figure 1-1.
-The terms Money Controls Imbedded Bill Acceptor System 5, Ardac IBA5 and System describe the
complete system, which includes all three modules (note acceptor, cassette stacker, and chassis).
-The chassis is the rectangular frame mounted permanently in the host equipment. The chassis secures the
acceptor and stacker in precise alignment in the host. It contains a read only memory to store and
communicate its specific chassis ID number. The stacker home sensor and system wiring harness are
chassis components.
-The terms imbedded note acceptor, note acceptor and acceptor describe only that portion of the System
which actively transports and identifies the notes / ticket coupons.
-The terms cassette stacker, cassette, and stacker refer to the removable, lockable box located in the bottom
section of the System chassis. It contains the memory device to store acceptor data.
-The terms note, bank note, and bill refer to paper currency or equivalent barcode ticket coupon that is
inserted into the note acceptor and stored in the stacker.

Chassis Mounting Recommendations
The chassis must be supported from underneath and be bolted to the host housing. The Dimension Drawing (Figure 1-3)shows
the location of the chassis mounting hardware (notes 1 through 4).
Asa minimum,secure thechassis tothe hosthousing bybolting:
a. One side and the bottom of the chassis to the housing.
b. One side and the back of the chassis to the housing. (Although the chassis must be supported from underneath, it is not
necessary to bolt the bottom if the back is bolted to the host housing.)
c. Both sides of the chassis to the housing. (Bottom support is not required.)
Features
The Money Controls Imbedded Bill Acceptor System 5 (IBA5) has a number of features that minimize the need for
maintenance, and simplify installation and operation:
-MODULAR DESIGN: The acceptor and cassette stacker are easily removed from the chassis. The acceptor provides
all mechanical drive for itself and the cassettestacker. This simplified design makes the cassette stacker useful as an
exchangeable, lockable cash box.
-SOFTWARE-CONTROLLED OPERATING SYSTEM: A microprocessor located in the acceptor controls: note
identification,notehandling,stacking,andcommunicationwith the host.Output signals indicate notedenomination
and acceptor status. Two drive motors in the acceptor drive the acceptor and the cassette stacker components.
-BENCH TEST DIAGNOSTICS: The IBA5 software includes a Computer Analysis Program System (CAPS). When a
CAPS Interface board connects the IBA5 to a Personal Computer, the computer can access the CAPS software. The
computer then monitors and operates some System components for diagnostic and bench test functions.
-LOCKABLE CASSETTE STACKER: The cassette stacker contains locations for two independent key locks for
maximum security.
-STABLE, RELIABLE OPERATION: Note / coupon recognition devices are self-compensating and require no
adjustments or maintenance. Systems are ready for immediate installation.
-13VDC OPERATION: The ARDAC IBA5 System operates from a single, regulated 13Vdc source which must be
suppliedbythehostsystem.
-EASY ACCESS TO THE NOTE PATH FOR MAINTENANCE: The acceptor opens to fully expose the sensors and
note transport mechanism. This facilitates inspection, cleaning, and servicing.
-SOLID CONSTRUCTION: Structural components of the acceptor and cassette stacker are made of ruggedized plastic.
The mounting chassis is made of welded steel construction for durability,strength,andsecurity.
-STRING DETECTOR: This security system provides maximum protection against all types of stringing and numerous
other intrusive fraud devices.
