Maintenance and Cleaning of your Bill Acceptor
PTI Bill Acceptors are relatively maintenance free. An occasional cleaning may be required to keep the acceptor in proper operation, especially when installed in areas with heavy cigarette smoke. To clean the acceptor:
1. Remove power from the machine.
2. If equipped with a stacker, you may find it easier to clean the acceptor if the cassette is removed first. Remove the cassette by pushing in the top latch and lifting the cassette up and out. (The cassette is not removed in the pictures below.)
3. Unplug the I/O connector and/or power connector from the right side of the acceptor. Note: You cannot remove the Lower Transport without first removing the I/O connector.
4. 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:
5. Clean the bill path using a soft cloth or towel. Do not use any cleaners other than a 50/50 mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol.
NEVER USE OILS OR SILICON SPRAY ON THE ACCEPTOR!
Note: Pay particular attention to the gray oval pieces of plastic in the lower and upper transport area. They must be cleaned well for proper operation. These ovals are marked by the green arrows in the pictures below:
