HANDLING
The handling requirements are defined as follows:
1. This product is not securely locked from tamper-
ing. Have internal security management handle
any tampering issues involving the Unit.
2. Do not strike or drop the Recycler to the ground:
this may cause damage to it.
3. Do not pull hard on the winding belts when clear-
ing a Banknote jam, or pull a belt out beyond its
limits.
Banknote Fitness Requirements
The following Banknote types may not recycle 
correctly, or worse, can cause a jam and/or damage
to the Unit’s Transport path. 
Banknotes exhibiting the following conditions
illustrated in Figure 1-3 should be avoided:
• torn
• excessive folds or wrinkles
• dirty
• curled
• wet
• containing foreign objects and/or oil
Damaged Banknotes
Wrinkled Banknotes
Curled Banknotes
Folded or Partial Banknotes

Note length discrimination (when denomination type is set)
*. Acceptable denomination can be selected (Refer to the VEGA Software Information Sheet for the DIP Switch settings for setting the Banknote denomination to be recycled).
†. When the Banknote’s long edge length margin is greater than 26mm, the Banknote cannot be accepted, even if its denomination is correct.
‡. Depends on the Host communication time lag when connected to the VEGA Unit.
**. When the Banknote length is 120mm (e.g., a Euro 5 Note), and the number of stacked Banknotes is less than 30 Notes; or when the number of 
stacked Banknotes is greater than 31 Notes, the processing speed will be approximately 5 seconds per Banknote.
††. DO NOT replace Banknotes by hand winding them back into place; allow them to be replaced by the Unit’s recycling action only.

it is installed. EEPROMS are often used to store system command instructions and ref-
erence data sets that are accessed on a frequent basis or when the equipment is first
powered up ... 2-6
9 Encoder Sensor

tion, but before any further transaction commands (Banknote stacking, Banknote re-
turn) are processed. The Escrow Sensor is actually located within the VEGA Banknote
Validator Unit ... 6-4

13 LED
an acronym for Light Emitting Diode. An LED is a semiconductor device which when
turned on, emits a signal output in the visible light range. Available in a variety of col-
ors, LED’s are cost effective and are commonly used as indicator lights in a veriety of
equipments. LEDs are also available in the invisible light range (i.e., ultra violet, near-
infared, etc) making them useful in variety of electronic equipments and applications,
such as Banknote validation circuitry ... 2-3
VEGA-RC™ Series BankNote Recycler Appendix B
14 Log
an archived record of Banknote transactions that have been processed by the Validator.
Logged Data is stored in memory and is available for viewing upon request. Informa-
tion available from Log usually includes the number of Banknotes accepted or rejected,
its denomination, which direction the Banknote was inserted into the Unit, the number
of times a Banknote was rejected, Error Codes occurring during the validation and/or
stacking process, etc ... 2-15
15 LSB
an acronym for Least Significant Bit. In the computing world, Computer programming
worlds/instructions are often represented as strings of binary numbers (1’s and 0’s) with
increasing positional values when read from right to left (i.e., 10110011). The Least
Significant Bit represents the bit farthest to the right of the word (regardless of the word
size), having the smallest numerical/positional value. The LSB is tested during the
VEGA-RC DIP Switch Tests ... 6-3
M
16 MDB
an acronym for Multi Drop Bus. In the automated vending industry, MDB is a common-
ly used serial interface standard/communication data protocol used for communications
between a Vending Machine Controller (VMC) and its installed peripherals such as
Banknote Validators and Coin Changers. MDB compatibility is a featured option in the
VEGA-RC ... 1-2
17 MSB
an acronym for Most Significant Bit. In the computing world, Computer programming
words/instructions are often represented as strings of binary numbers (1’s and 0’s) with
increasing positional values when read from right to left (i.e., 10110011). The Most
Significant Bit represents the first bit on the left side of the word (Regardless of the
word size), having the largest numerical/positional value. The MSB is tested during the
VEGA-RC DIP Switch Tests ... 6-3
O
18 OPF
an acronym for Open Platform Format, representing an alternate serial interface stan-
dard or communciations data protocol for maintaining serial data communication be-
tween electronic payment devices such as Banknote Validators and Coin Changers.
OPF compatibility is a featured option in the VEGA-RC ... 1-2

transmitted data signals via using a Light Emitting Diode and a Photo-sensitive Tran-
sistor Circuit ... 2-10
R
21 Restore
the Pushbutton function which allows for filling the VEGA-RC with recyclable
Banknotes by feeding them into the unit via the VEGA banknote entry slot. When need-
ed, this function is performed automatically under control of the Host System during
normal transaction processing until the Recycler is full and cannot stack any additional
Banknotes. The Restore function may also be performed manually by depressing push-
button ’C’ on the VEGA-RC. This is the primary function performed when Pushbutton
’C’ is depressed during Test T0 in Section 6 ... 1-4
22 Retrieve
the Pushbutton function which retrieves Banknotes stored in the VEGA-RC and passes
them to the VEGA, where they are then stacked to the VEGA Cash Box. This allows
for emptying the Recycler of stored banknotes while maintaining system security. The
Retrieve function may be performed function performed when Pushbutton "D" is de-
pressed during Test T0 and Test T9a or T9b in Section 6 ... 1-4

25 VEGA-RC
a 30-note Banknote Recycler Unit option that can be used in conjunction with the
VEGA-BV Unit. The VEGA-RC can be programmed to accept and recycle any
Banknote denomination within a defined set of country currency value, and is capable
