Cross-reference
The T6T2-U5EUS is the Talos replacement for the legacy AE2612-U5EUS. Its designation identifies the Talos T6 family, T-Bezel configuration, 24 V DC / 34 V DC MDB power configuration, U5 Up-Stacker with 500-note capacity, and E-series U.S. MDB build.
Compatible platforms
The low-entry bezel is configured for amusement machines, compact vending equipment, kiosks, and other cabinets with reduced door clearance or flush-mount requirements. The unit is intended for U.S.-currency systems using MDB control and does not accept $50 or $100 notes. Applications requiring those denominations should use a T8-series model.
Service notes
The quick-release stacker allows tool-free cassette removal during collection or maintenance. Confirm the host controller, MDB wiring, voltage configuration, and cabinet opening before installation. USB or handheld-programmer access supports field firmware updates.
