Description
Vending operators who want Pyramid’s newest validator without rewiring will like the Pyramid Platinum PT1-LB4-USA, a 24V MDB bill acceptor built for round-the-clock duty in vending, kiosk, gaming, amusement and skill game equipment.
The PT1-LB4-USA is the MDB member of the family, made for vending machines, micro markets and kiosks running on the Multi-Drop Bus standard. Like every Platinum, it takes $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills and drops them into a lockable 500-note cash box that pulls out for collection.
What sets Platinum apart
- No DIP switches or config cards. Load firmware and settings from a USB flash drive or a PC, and they stay put when the power is off.
- Sensors calibrate themselves, so there is no manual calibration step.
- Counterfeit protection comes from UV LED validation, dual-stage optical anti-stringing and a built-in mechanical anti-stringing lever.
- Lit bezel and lit bill entry draw players to the slot.
- The bill path lifts out for cleaning, and diagnostics run from a push-button/LED or a PC.
- Harness pinouts often match other makers' bill acceptors, which helps when you convert a machine.
- Built in the USA with a 2-year parts and labor warranty from Pyramid.
Connection
It speaks the standard bi-directional MDB serial protocol through a standard MDB connector, so it drops onto MDB vending controllers. Pyramid installs MDB harness P/N 05AA0038 at the factory, and a longer harness is available if your cabinet needs the reach.
