1 General Description:
The CASHFLOW SC Series Note/Bar Code Acceptors are a family of high security acceptors that
process currency and bar code documents over a wide range of electrical and environmental
conditions. The CASHFLOW SC series is intended for use in indoor or protected outdoor
environments. The CASHFLOW SC series Note/Bar Code Acceptors are designed for a high rate of
genuine note acceptance and standard bar code decoding while maintaining security (resistance to a
variety of frauds). Additional features include improved human interface, and a variety of note entry
guide options. The note combination can either be selected externally via the electronic interface or via
a programming coupon. The CASHFLOW SC series Note/Bar Code Acceptors process bank notes
four ways with the option to process two ways and one way. The CASHFLOW SC series Note/Bar
Code Acceptors can decode bar code documents two ways. The CASHFLOW SC series application
software is designed to support a variety of currencies.
1.1 Definitions:
Acceptor Module
The main part of the note acceptor that contains the electronics, sensors, and motors necessary for
the acceptor to operate.
Chassis
The metal framework used to hold the entire note acceptor (acceptor, cashbox, interface board) within
the host machine.
Cashbox
The removable container used to accept and store currency. The cashbox supports a lock(s) for
securing the currency.
Interface Board
A customized PCB used to connect to specific interface hardware for host machines.
Recognition Sensor Array

The recognition sensor array has a dual purpose. First, it is used to identify the note and second it is
used as a position sensor to mark the Escrow position. Notes are normally stopped, in Escrow, right
after the sensor array.
Barcode sensor
A specialized sensor used to obtain the barcode pattern off of the barcode substrate.
Transport Assembly
The stackerless model will contain a mini transport assembly modeled after the existing stacker
assembly inside the SC cashbox. This transport assembly contains a sensor to determine when a

MANUAL Page 5 of 59
banknote has successfully left the unit and deposited into the customer defined cash collection
apparatus.
Bunch Note Feeder (BNF)

Optional module supports bulk feed. Contact MEI to for supported countries.
ABDS
ABDS is an acronym for addressable bi directional serial. It is used in applications where an RS-485
multi-drop interface is required. RS-485 allows multiple peripherals to be daisy-chained together, all
talking to the same host, using a single pair of wire. Each acceptor is configured with a unique address
that will be referenced by the host in its message.

2.3 Mounting options
IMPORTANT! – The unit should not beused as a standalone

peripheral. Proper mounting of the chassis is required for normal
operation. Inadequate/improper mounting may result in a degradation
of performance. All models require adequate grounding of the
chassis. The following section describes the proper mounting
requirements for each model. All questions and concerns can be
addressed by the MEI technical support staff.
Chassis Mounting Considerations
When using the two side planes (A and B) to mount the unit, be careful to ensure that they are aligned
so the chassis width dimension is not over extended, separated, flexed or bowed. Refer to figures 4
and 5. The chassis width dimension should be 114mm +/- 0.4 mm. Extending the chassis width
dimension past the tolerance can cause error conditions such as cashbox ejection or lowered cashbox
capacity.
Figure 3 SCL Side Mounting Planes

Figure 4 Rear mounting plane and width dimension
Cashflow SC series (500 note capacity)
A total of 12 mounting holes and two grounding points are offered. The side mounting holes and
chassis ground points are highlighted in Figure 6. These mounting locations are compatible with the
MEI® ZT series note acceptors. In general use of 3 mounting holes, including at least two separate
planes, will be sufficient to mount the unit. Care should be taken not to distort the chassis if it is
mounted on surfaces that are not exactly aligned. Dimensions to the centerline of the note path are
given on drawing 252053001.pdf to assist in alignment with the entry guide. Note the thread depth on
the M4 mounting holes should be no greater than 6mm and no less than 4mm. Longer screws will
interfere with the removable cashbox. Shorter screws may not have enough thread engagement. If
mounting to the back plane of the chassis, care should be given not to use hardware that will interfere
with the complete insertion of the cashbox.

Figure 5 SC, SCM AND SCL MODEL SIDE MOUNTING AND CHASSIS GROUND LOCATION
Cashflow Stackerless SE/SB
The stackerless model offers a total of four M4 chassis mounting locations on the side planes of the
chassis. All four of these chassis mounting locations should be used. These mounting locations also
offer the chassis ground point as shown in figures 6 and 7. These mounting locations are compatible
with the CFSC and CFSCL series note acceptors. Care should be taken not to distort the chassis if it is
mounted on surfaces that are not exactly aligned. Note the thread depth on the M4 mounting holes
should be no greater than 6mm and no less than 4mm. Screws exceeding this length can damage the
stacker mechanism. Shorter screws may not have enough thread engagement. The backplane is not a
mounting option with this unit. Appropriate note clearance is another consideration for this model. The
unit has keep out area situated around the stacker mechanism. The dimensions of this area are
highlighted in the document 252057185_G1. Violating this area will lead to diminished capacity.

Cashflow SCM (900 note capacity) and SCL (1,200 note capacity) models
It is important that the SCM and SCL chassis be supported rigidly on both sides and bottom to prevent
any spread, separation, flex, or bowing from occurring. A total of 12 mounting holes and 2 chassis
ground points are offered. See figure 7. The side mounting holes and chassis ground points are
highlighted in Figure 7.

Figure 8 SCL and SCM model side mounting and chassis ground identified.
The use of 6 mounting holes, including a minimum of three separate planes (the bottom surface and
both side surfaces) are required to mount the unit. Sheet 3 of the 252202001.pdf drawing shows the
recommended procedure for mounting to the bottom of the unit. Care should be taken not to distort
the chassis if it is mounted on surfaces that are not exactly aligned. Dimensions to the centerline of the
note path are given on the drawing to assist in alignment with the entry guide. Note the thread depth
on the M4 mounting holes should be no greater than 6mm and no less than 4mm. Longer screws will
interfere with the removable cashbox. Shorter screws may not have enough thread engagement. If
mounting to the back plane of the chassis, care should be given not to use hardware that will interfere
with the complete insertion of the cashbox. Use the checklist below to ensure that installation meets all
MEI guidelines.
SCM/SCL Mounting Checklist
Minimum, 3 planes of chassis supported (both sides and bottom)

Minimum, 6 mounting holes
Side mounts are rigid and prevent outward spread, separation, flex or bow of chassis walls
Chassis not distorted due to misalignment during tightening of mounting fasteners
Threaded mounting location screws are 4mm – 6mm long
No mounting fasteners touch or rub the cashbox
Chassis grounded and linked to adequate enclosure grounding location.
Contact MEI Technical Support for installation review
Cashflow SCXL model
The CASHFLOW SCXL chassis must be securely fastened to the host machine on a minimum of two
planes (i.e. chassis mounting faces) to avoid “racking”. Additional mounting features have been added
to the SCXL to support the increased weight of the system and to provide additional mounting options.
See MEI drawing 252755002 for mounting feature locations.
Wherever possible, it is strongly recommended that the SCXL be fastened to the host machine via
three chassis faces. Care must be taken not to distort the chassis during installation.

Note: Proper grounding of the SCXL chassis to the host machine via appropriate mounting hardware is
required.
CASHFLOW SCXL models are designed for use in a downstacker orientation only. The SCXL LRC is
not for use (will not operate properly) in an upstacker or inclined (tilted back) orientation.
Figure 9 SCXL side mounting and chassis ground locations identified.

Figure 10. SCXL rear mounting options.
Chassis Grounding Requirements
This section applies to all models of the Cashflow series banknote validator. Chassis grounding is not
optional.
The selected grounding cable should be:

• Attached at one end to the Cashflow SC and at an indicated grounding point on the chassis.
• Consist of a wire gauge greater than or equal to the system ground as it connects to its earth
source.
• Be as long as is necessary to accommodate all of the customer specific accessibility, but no
longer which prevents unnecessary impedance which may degrade noise immunity.
Chassis to Chassis Mounting
Chassis to Chassis mounting is an option available only on the Cashflow SCL series. There are 4
holes in each side of the chassis that permit mounting multiple units side by side. Four plastic rivets
available from Richco can be used to hold the chassis’s together and are assembled as shown below.
The following Richco Rivets can be used SR-5055B, SRV0-5055B, SRV0-5055W, SR-5055W.

For customers who prefer to tool their own entry guides, MEI drawings 252057026 (sc66) and
252053045 (sc83) are available for the Cashflow interface. These drawings show the geometry of the
interface teeth and mounting tabs. 3D CAD models of the required geometry are also available upon
request.
Design of the entry guide has a strong impact on the ergonomics, reliability, and performance of the
transaction system. It is strongly recommended that customers consult with MEI engineering before
finalizing any new entry guide design.
2.5 Acceptor Guide:
Figure 21
An acceptor guide is available to help guide the acceptor into the chassis in applications where
visibility is poor or an upstacker application is required. The acceptor guide mounts to the top of the
chassis using 4 screws as shown below and will fit all Cashflow units. The acceptor guide is pre-
assembled with on retail units.

2.6 Cashbox Lock Specification

The cashbox may be fitted with either one or two security locks. The product is designed to accept
locks from a range of manufacturers including: -
Medeco
Kaba
Abloy
VSR
Miwa
Duo
ILCO
Standard 5/8" and 1 1/8" formats are supported. There is a significant variety of lock designs and
spacer washers may be required for some lock types. The MEI drawing 252050011 shows the critical
mechanical dimensions for the locks. Locking hasps are not shipped with most cash boxes. The hasp
part number is MEI part # 252035002. A special hasp is required on the SC cash box. The hasp
dictates what type of cam lock can be used. The standard hasp is MEI part # 252035002. A hasp with
a larger locking hole is also available MEI part # 252036076. Use hyperlinks to view dimensional
drawings of the hasp. Lists of constraints that limit cam lock selection are shown in the following table.
Locks vary greatly in price, security, keying policies etc. The customer is responsible for selecting a
lock with performance that is fit for the intended purpose. MEI does not test or endorse any specific
brand of lock for security characteristics. For applications requiring NO locks, a “slam” latch is
available: MEI Part Number 252260001P1/P12 NLC CASHBOX LATCH.
When only one lock is used the remaining blank hole does not give access to the contents of the
cashbox. Some regulatory authorities however may require a blanking plug be fitted. Contact MEI for
assistance in obtaining a suitable plug.
Lock Rotation Direction
When two locks are installed they must rotate in opposite directions. See the figure below.

Lock Installation
The following figures show a SC cash box with installed cam lock and MEI hasp. The figures also
show the diversity of locks that can be used with the SC/SCL cash box.

Figure 23
Non-Locking Cashbox
For situations that call for no locks on the cashbox (i.e. cash stripping) a latch kit P/N
252260001P1/P12 is available. See MEI drawing 252260001 for installation instructions.
SCXL Lock Options

The LRC provides two “double D” holes for mounting up to two industry standard 5/8" and/or 1 1/8"
long barrel locks. While the SCXL LRC will accommodate all locks currently used in other
CASHFLOW SC Series LRCs, SCXL specific hasps are required. The locks are only removable from
the inside of the LRC. An integral, non-locking latch for keyless access to the cashbox is standard on
the SCXL LRC.

3 Power Requirements:
3.1 Power Requirements without BNF

CASHFLOW SC Acceptors require a regulated DC input voltage ranging from 12.0 VPEAK-MIN (-5%) to
27.3 VPEAK-MAX (+5%). Note: that PEAK readings are specified at the unit so that represented voltages
are inclusive of any ripple, surge, or sag that may exist on the power lines.
The following table defines power consumption.

4.9 MEI External Inhibit Feature

Overview
This feature provides an alternative means of inhibiting Cashflow SC Note Acceptors from drawing
notes in. Once the additional connections are made simply “shorting” the input to ground (taking the
input low) will inhibit the Cashflow SC Note Acceptor. The Cashflow SC Note Acceptor automatically
enables once the ground is removed, assuming the interface has the BA enabled. This is a 3Volt low
current input.
Feature Installation Procedure
Orientation Note: Make sure the six spade connectors are on the left-hand side when viewed from
the rear on the unit. Note: The harness on retail model bill acceptors SCXXX27R and SCXXX28R do
not contain the spade connectors. Moreover, this cashbox present feature has been removed from
this model respectively.

6.3 General Printing:

Below is the front view of the Bar Code. The Back of the coupon is not specified, there are no printing
restrictions.
Table 27. Barcode specifications.

6.4 Special 24 character consideration

All bar codes must be either 18 or 24 characters. When 24 characters are detected the Note
Acceptor will insert the two “EZ-pay” (IGT™) leading zeros 0,0, followed the first 16 characters of the
24 character bar code. The last 8 characters are discarded.
Example:
The 24 character value of “1234567891111111112222” will be translated to
“00123456789111111111”
The first 16 characters are saved (1234567891111111112222).
Two leading zeros are inserted (00123456789111111111)
The coupon is then reported as if it was 18 characters. In effect, there are 16 characters for the
monetary value and 24 for the final processing outside of the Note Acceptor.

7 Configuration Coupon
7.1 Configuration Coupon Instructions

Note: The configuration coupon can ONLY be used with the SC66. There is no configuration coupon
for the SC83.
Paper copies of this Manual have a usable coupon (see below). Electronic copies of the coupon are
usable if your printer does not distort any areas of the coupon. Copies of the coupon are usable if cut
to match the size of the coupon on the next page.
The coupon should be filled out using a #2 pencil, filling in the circles for the desired options. For
correct operation, all 10 lines must be completed. Only one circle should be filled per line. The back
of the coupon should not be marked.
Lines 1 through 7 shall be filled out to enable the desired banknote denominations.
Line 8, voucher, enables/disables the acceptance of vouchers (also know as bar code tickets).
Line 9, Aux, enable/disables the use of the second serial port (Certain applications use the second
serial port to communicate to the gaming player tracking systems).
Line 10 to enable desired note direction. Enable 1 or 2-way face up, or 4-way acceptance (which
allows acceptance in all directions).
To configure the unit using the configuration coupon, MMI

the MMI button will be pressed and held for 1 Button
second. Upon release of the button, the Green and
Yellow LEDs will flash. At this point the unit is ready
to accept the Configuration Coupon.
ACCEPTED: Upon coupon acceptance, the Green

LED will flash rapidly.
