Firmware update
The firmware of APEX 7000 can be updated with the handheld programmer “PRO-2” (optional).
Connect “PRO-2” to the 6-pole connector located on the right side of the acceptor (under the label "
FLASH
MEMORY PORT
").
The programmer must be connected to a PC to load the correct firmware file, then disconnect PRO-2 from the
PC. After the firmware file has been successfully loaded on PRO-2, the bill acceptor can be easily updated with
PRO-2 on site (there is no need to have the PC at hand).
For more detailed info, please read “PRO-2” user guide.
Maintenance
The Apex bill acceptor is relatively maintenance free. An occasional cleaning is all that is needed to keep the
acceptor in top operation.
To clean the acceptor:
•
Remove power from the machine or unplug the MDB cable from the bill acceptor.
•
Unlatch the stacker by pushing in the yellow top latch and lifting the stacker up and out.
•
Remove the Lower Transport by pushing in the latch located on the bottom of the acceptor at the rear.
Gently pull the Lower Transport out of the assembly.
•
Clean the bill path using a soft cloth or towel.
•
Always use water.
•
If 100% water is not enough, use a mixture of water and alcool (80% water and 20% alcool).
•
Never use oils, benzene, or silicon spray on any part of the acceptor!
