Description
The MEI Talos T831-D5EUS is a Talos T8 bill acceptor from Crane MEI, set up for high-denomination equipment and stacking up to 500 notes below the validator head.
Why operators choose it
Taking larger bills lets customers spend more per visit, which is why T8 units go into higher-ticket machines. It takes U.S. $1–$20 bills. The gear-driven transport and quick-release stacker are built for frequent service, and firmware updates go in by USB or a handheld programmer.
Replaces
This Talos model takes the place of the discontinued AE2831-D5EUS. The T8 family is meant to replace AE28xx validators. Before swapping, compare bezel position, stacker direction, harness and cabinet clearance with the unit you are pulling.
