1. General description
This document aims to provide the necessary information for proper handling and
operation of the BT10 banknote reader, and for solving simple problems. However, for
more complex problems, you should contact your nearest Jofemar technical support
service.
This banknote reader communicates with the machine using an MDB protocol, quite
common in vending machines, particularly in refreshment machines.
1.1 Banknote reader structure
The BT10 banknote reader consists of a reading head that reads the banknote and
validates it against a set of patterns it has stored in memory. Should the banknote be
recognised, it is sent to a stacker used for storing the banknotes.
The front cover of the banknote reader has 3 status LEDs, 2 green and 1 red, which
show the reader’s activity at all times as well as possible failures.
