Cross-reference
The T6S2-U10MUS replaces the discontinued AE26S2-U10MUS. It is also listed as a drop-in replacement for AE2602-U10MUS, MEI part 250005456. Buyers replacing an installed validator should verify the bezel position, stacker direction, MDB harness, and cabinet clearance before installation.
Compatible platforms
This amusement market-code validator fits MDB-operated vending machines, kiosks, and amusement machines using a standard mid-height bill-entry location. The S-Bezel is intended for mid-entry installations, while the U10 up-stacker configuration provides capacity for up to 1000 notes. It accepts neither $50 nor $100 notes; applications requiring those denominations should use a T8-series model.
Integration notes
The unit uses MDB power and communications at 24 V DC / 34 V DC. Its four-way optical path accepts bills in any orientation. USB or a handheld programmer can be used for firmware maintenance, and the modular service layout supports field access to the cassette and transport mechanism.
