Note length discrimination (when denomination type is set). *. Acceptable denomination can be selected (Refer to “DIP Switch Configurations” on page 2-1 of Section 2 set for the VEGA-RC denomination). †. Depends on the Host communicataion time lag when connected to the VEGA Unit.
When connected to the VEGA Banknote Validator, the VEGA-RC allows one (1) denomination to be recy- cled at a time. The VEGA-RC can recycle any Banknote accepted by the VEGA Unit, and can hold up to 30 Notes at a time. The improved internal mechanism significantly reduces the chance of a Banknote jamming inside the Recycler Unit.
