Vector bill Operation Manual
The Vector line of bill validators accepts bank notes and coupons thru 72 mm in width. The Vector comes pre-programmed, per customer specification, from the factory or can be reconfigured by customers utilizing the Vector Tools program for PDA or PC’s. Software updates can also be uploaded into the Vector via a PDA or PC enabled with the Vector Tools program.
ESD Precautions
The Vector bill acceptor is used as an inside component of a vending machine or similar host machine. Proper grounding is conducted by connecting the Vector metal mounting bracket to the metal surface of the vending machine chassis.
To minimize electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
- When removing Vector from an antistatic bag, or the vending machine cabinet, lay it on an antistatic surface such as a ESD mat or a disposable antistatic mat.
- Always wear an antistatic wrist strap connected to metal surface on the chassis of the vending machine (ground) when working on Vector.
- Do not touch the I/O ports by hands
Cleaning & Maintenance
The Vector currency validator was designed and manufactured for simple, trouble free operation. To enhance the long term reliability of your Vector validator, please follow the simple, but important cleaning and maintenance guide.
Cleaning
We recommend a regular cleaning schedule for your Vector bill validator. Depending on local environmental and usage, the Vector should be cleaned at least every 3 months, more regularly in areas of high dust and contamination. The Vector utilizes a combination of IR, UV and/or Magnetic sensors along the note path to collect data off the bank note. During use, dust, contamination and foreign objects can collect along the note path and over the sensors, degrading their performance over time. Cleaning your Vector on a regular basis will assure maximum performance and validation rates.
On-site cleaning
We realize that it may be impossible for you to remove your Vector out of its application while in the field to perform a thorough cleaning. In these instances, we recommend that you obtain a can of compressed air and guide the output toward the note entry area. This will remove any excess dust or foreign objects that may have collected over the sensors located along the note path.
Thorough Cleaning
To perform a more thorough cleaning of the Vector, open the upper section by pressing on the two red release buttons and lift gently (for further detail, refer to page 4 of this manual). This allows access to the note path. We recommend that you use a mild soap/water combination and damp, dust free towel and wipe the note path area and sensors. NB do not put the water directly on to the validator, only on to the cloth. Dry thoroughly and close the upper section. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL to clean your Vector as this will degrade the sensor apertures and drive belts and will seriously affect the long term reliability.
