OVERVIEW Main Components of the Cashflow SC66 Bill Acceptor The SC66 consists of three main components Cashbox/LRC Acceptor Module Chassis The Acceptor Module and Cashbox are interchangeable with other identical SC66 models. Bill Entry Guides for the SC66 Not all bill entry guides fit in every machine. Your choice regarding bill entry guides will depend on machine specifications.
INSTALLATION Note: Always power down machine prior to Installation. The cashbox does not lock to the chassis. When you remove the unit from the container or when the unit is not installed in the machine, you must never carry the bill acceptor by the handle of the cashbox. The cashbox may release causing the rest of the unit to fall and damage the chassis.
INSTALLATION Inserting And Removing the Acceptor Module • Insert the Acceptor Module so that the release lever locks into place. • To remove the unit, pull upwards on the release lever located on the front of the Acceptor Module and pull away from the chassis.
INSTALLATION Installing A Bill Entry Guide • To install a bill entry guide, just slide it onto the Acceptor Module until it locks into place. No screws are required. If the bill entry guide has lights, you will have to first connect the har- ness from the bill entry guide to the eight pin connector located on the left hand side of the face of the Acceptor Module.
INSTALLATION Installing The Cashbox • With the chassis mounted securely to the machine, you may now insert the cashbox into the chassis. The cashbox has slots on both sides that will guide it into the chassis. When you insert the cashbox, you will feel some resistance from the two springs inside the chassis. Make sure to insert the cashbox all the way in so that the rear of the cashbox is flush against the chassis wall.
Locks vary greatly in price, security, keying policies, etc. The customer is responsible for selecting a lock with performance that is fit for the intended purpose. MEI does not test or endorse any specific brand of lock for security characteristics.
UPDATING SOFTWARE There are two ways of updating the software of a Cashflow SC66 bill acceptor.* 1) Via a hand held device called the cashflow Portable Programming Module (PPM). 2) By replacing the programmed PROM (Chip Change).* Portable Programming Module CONNECTING THE PPM TO THE CASHFLOW SC66 1.

UPDATING SOFTWARE PPM DOWNLOADING PROCEDURE 1. After connecting the PPM to the Cashflow SC66 via the USB interface (refer to previous page illustration), you are now ready to start the download procedure. 2. Press the square download button located on the front of the PPM. (see fig.2 on previous page) 3.
UPDATING SOFTWARE Replacing the programmed PROM (Chip Change) Note: Once you remove the programmed PROM(perform a chip change),the bill acceptor can no longer be programmed by the Programming module (PPM). Once a PROM is inserted or removed, the bill acceptor disables the ability for the programing module (PPM) to communicate with the bill acceptor.

UPDATING SOFTWARE Replacing the programmed prom (Continued). Replacing the yellow cover Note: To install the yellow cover, the acceptor module must remain open. 6. To re-install the yellow cover, align the cover back to the position shown below. 7. Once in position, move the yellow cover forward (as if you were opening the acceptor module) untill the cover locks into place.
HARNESSING AND CONNECTORS EBDS Interface Pin Out Note: Some SC66 units will come with connectors that are “OEM-Specific.” Please refer to the host machine manual for pinout and connector information. Cashflow SC66 bill acceptors with an EBDS Interface will have a cable with a 12 Pin Connector. SC6607 RS232 EBDS version Connector Pin # Wire Color...
COUPON COUPON CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Paper copies of this Manual will have a usable coupon on the next page. Electronic copies of the coupon are usable if your printer does not distort any areas of the coupon. Copies of the coupon are usable if cut to match the size of the coupon on the next page.
MAINTENANCE Periodic maintenance can improve the performance and extend the working life of a bill accep- tor. Additional attention may be required if the bill acceptor becomes inoperable due to a jammed object or acceptance rates fall below normal. Cleaning the Acceptor Module Note: You must remove the Acceptor Module from the chassis to open the front sensor area.
TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnostic Codes The chart below indicates the 15 color-coded combinations of diagnostic LEDs on the acceptor module. For each color, there is a solid indicator and four flashing combinations. If multiple failure conditions occur, the most severe condition will be displayed. Red conditions - Hard Fault.
Acceptor. What is a PPM (Portable Programming Module) and how does it work? A PPM is a yellow handheld device that is programmed by MEI and is used to download software into a CASHFLOW SC66 Flash units. The PPM consists of a yellow button, a red and green LED and 2 USB connectors.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can a PPM be used to update software for PROM CASHFLOW SC66 units? No. A PPM can only be used to download software into Flash CASHFLOW SC66 units. How can I tell the difference between a Flash and PROM CASHFLOW SC66 unit? On purchased units that have not be modified, PROM CASHFLOW SC66 units should...

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How is a CASHFLOW SC66 unit manufacturing date determined? Locate the unit’s serial number on the product label. The product label is located on the front of the Acceptor below the BEG. The first three digits of the serial number are the date code of the bill acceptor. The first two digits indicate the week of the year it was made.
