Attention Please: To ensure the most trouble-free machine operation, we recommend plugging all our machines into a DEDICATED AC outlet. (This means there are no other machines on location plugged into the same AC line.) A simple way to check if this is true is to turn off the breaker at the fuse box associated with our machine. No other machines on location should lose power or turn off.

Each pulse stands for the amount of the denomination validated. (i.e. 1 pulse for $1, 5 pulses for $5). The 5vdc pulse then travels from pins 5 and 6 to the EPROM chip (ver.
