The Talos™ T6/T8 Note Validator is a device designed for validating and accepting banknotes in host machines such as vending machines and kiosks. It is built to fit into standard note validator openings provided by host machine manufacturers. The device is designed for efficient and secure note processing, offering various interface options and robust validation capabilities.

Function Description:

The note validator performs a series of processes to validate and accept or reject banknotes. When a note is inserted, the validator first senses the note and prepares its drive motor. Drive belts then pull the note into the machine, where internal sensors scan it to determine its value. The note is held in escrow while its authenticity is validated. If the note is successfully validated, credit is applied, and the note is stacked in the cassette. If the note is not validated, it is returned to the customer. The device is designed for lengthwise, 4-way note insertion (face up/down, either direction).

Important Technical Specifications:

• Input Voltage: The Talos™ T6/T8 supports multiple input voltages: 115 VAC, 24 VAC, and 12 VDC.
• Wattage: The maximum wattage is 48 W.
• Temperature Range:
  • Operating temperature: -15° C to 60° C (5° F to 140° F)
  • Shipping and storage temperature: -40° C to 70° C (-40° F to 158° F)
• Relative Humidity: 85% relative humidity (non-condensing) with a maximum relative humidity of 50% at 60° C (140° F).
• Power Consumption:
  • At idle: 5 W
  • In acceptance mode: 10 W
  • With a full stack in the note magazine: 50 W maximum
  • When using specific interfaces (MDB, EBDS, NISR, vending/gaming pulse interfaces): 48 W
• Note Acceptance Rate: 95% or greater at nominal conditions.
• Transaction Speed: Approximately 4 seconds from note insertion to completed note stacking.
• Escrow: The device can hold 1 note in escrow.
• Interfaces: The note validator supports several interface options, including:
  • Multi-Drop Bus (MDB)
  • Extended Bi-Directional Serial (EBDS)
  • Non-Isolated Serial (NISR)
  • Vending and gaming pulse interfaces
  • RS232 (with a specific cable)

Usage Features:

• Installation: The device is designed for straightforward installation into host machines. It can be mounted on existing studs provided by OEMs. Some machines may require additional brackets or faceplates.
• Configuration: The note validator can be programmed using a configuration coupon. This involves removing the note magazine, pressing a configuration button, reattaching the magazine, and inserting the coupon. The bezel LEDs flash to indicate the success or failure of the programming.
• Enabling Notes and Vend Coupons: Similar to programming, notes and vend coupons can be enabled or disabled by entering configuration mode and inserting the desired note or coupon. The bezel LEDs provide feedback on the outcome.
• Troubleshooting: The device includes bezel LED error flash codes to help diagnose issues. These codes indicate conditions such as no power, blocked note path, issues with other vending components, or a full note stacker. Recovery steps are provided for each error code.
• Interface Harnesses: Various harnesses are available to support different interfaces, connecting the note validator to the machine controller or coin changer. Pinout information for 30-pin, 9-pin, and 18-pin connectors is provided for customer-supplied cables.

Maintenance Features:

• Cleaning: The note validator can be cleaned while mounted in the host machine. Cleaning involves removing power, unlatching and removing the note magazine, unlatching and removing the lower housing assembly, and then cleaning the note path with a soft cloth.
• Recommended Cleaning Aids: A soft cloth, which may be moistened with a mild, non-abrasive, and non-petroleum-based cleaner. Flammable cleaners should never be used due to the risk of fire.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Electric Shock: Always ensure the host machine power is OFF before installing, maintaining, or cleaning the note validator to prevent serious injury or death.
  • Fire Risk: Never use flammable cleaners.
• Modular Design: The Talos™ note validator is described as modular and backwards compatible, suggesting ease of component replacement and upgrades.
