• Product overview APEX 7000 is a MDB Bill Acceptor, meeting the standards required by MDB protocol. The product is available with 200 bill- and 500 bill-stacker. The “Escrow” function enables users to get the bill back in the case of a failed vend or when no change is available.

Step 2: With the stacker removed, locate the two white plastic ball bearings located on the face of the stacker pointed in towards the validator when installed. These plastic ball bearings can get fouled with lint, paper, dust and dirt. Clean if any is present as this can cause the bearings to not make full contact with the bill or completely stop it from moving (see left).

Step 3: Bill path plate cleaning We recommend disconnecting all power and I/O connectors from the validator at this point. If any side connectors are still installed this could prevent you from fully removing the bottom plate without causing any damage to the validator.

Step 5: Cleaning internal components Directly above the plate inside the validator, there is another set four round and oval lenses that beam back and forth to each other in the bill path plate as seen in the image below. Dampen a lint free cloth with water, only enough water to pick up dust and run the cloth over all lenses and rollers until clean.
