This guide describes installation, operation, simple troubleshooting, and cleaning instructions for the back-stack and down-stack versions of our SA-4 product l i ne (Figure 1). Both versions of SA-4 can be identified by the Part Number label. For sample part numbers that de- note these versions, refer to Subsection 3.2.
Also, do not discard the shipping box and its packaging material. 3. PRODUCT OVERVIEW SA-4, which is available in a back-stack or a down-stack configuration, has many features similar to our ARGUS unit. However, this model validator provides a faster processing time of less than 200 /second to validate currency.
Global Payment Technologies, Inc. The electrical interface between the Currency Validator and the SRC is made by a blind-mate connector (i.e., standard AMP) or by an ex- ternal cable (i.e., pigtail) connector. With either option, the Currency Validator can be easily removed as needed.
Installation Guide 3.2 Identifying Your Currency Validator Affixed to the back of SA-4 are five labels (i.e., Part Number, Program, Serial Number, Origin Country Code, and CE/Warning) that identify major characteristics of the unit (Figure 3). Part Serial Number Number...

Global Payment Technologies, Inc. 8.2 Procedure To perform VLA, follow these steps: Power-down Currency Validator. Set DIP-Switches 8 and 9 to on position (i.e., move switch toward number) (Figure 12). Note: DIP-Switches 8 and 9 are used for servicing the Currency Validator.
Installation Guide 8.3 Description of VLA Process During the VLA process, the Main Optical Sensors and the Side- Looking Sensors (SLS) are adjusted. Before the card is inserted dur- ing the VLA, the Currency Validator will adjust the SLS.
