APEX SERIES 5000 & 7000 BILL ACCEPTOR INSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL Pyramid Technologies, Inc. 1718 North Quail Mesa, Arizona 85205 USA 480-507-0088 FAX: 480-507-1922 www.pyramidacceptors.com Rev.
NEW: Apex Model Expansion – the Apex 7000 The Apex 7000 has been added to the Apex Series, featuring a Dual Configuration mode: The 8position DIP switch on the bottom of the unit can be used for quick configuration. By turning all switches to the “OFF” position, the Apex 7000 may also be configured via PC or Configuration Card just like the Apex 5000. Product Overview The Pyramid Technologies, Inc.
Model 5200 or 7200 - No Mag. Head ($1,$5 bills or 2 bills for foreign applications). 5400 or 7400 - No Mag. Head ($1-$20 for US model and some foreign models) 5600 or 7600 - Mag.
firmware version, plug it into the Apex, and the update happens automatically. The PRO-1 is powered by the bill acceptor when connected, so there is no need for a battery or power supply. USB Flash Download Cable P/N 05AA0026 The USB Flash Download Cable is used to update bill acceptors with new firmware via Windows PC, and perform Configuration and Diagnostic functions using the Acceptor Tools software (free download from http://www.pyramidacceptors.com).
Shipping Damage When a product is returned to the owner after service, only consignee (the person or company receiving the bill acceptor) can file a claim against the carrier for concealed damages. Therefore, unpack immediately. Notify the delivery carrier of damages and request immediate inspection. Send a letter of intent to file claim to the carrier within 72 hours from the time of receipt. Send a copy of this letter to the shipper.
Acceptor Enable Mode To operate in Always Enabled Pulse mode, toggle DIP Position 6 to the ON position. For other interface modes in which the acceptor is enabled or disabled by equipment (Standard Pulse Mode, $1&$5 Credit Line, MDB, 600-Baud Serial, etc.), toggle DIP Position 6 to the OFF position. Pulses Per Dollar Setting (only valid if DIP 6 is ON) For Quarter-based equipment (in which one pulse is worth $0.25), toggle DIP Position 7 to ON to set 4 Pulses per Dollar.
Section 3 (Lighted Bezel) This line selects how the Bezel lighting will appear to the customer. The Bezel can be selected to be always on or can set to be flashing when the acceptor is enabled. In either case, the Bezel is off when the acceptor is disabled,or when the acceptor has a problem. Section 4 (Enable Bills) These lines determine which bills you want enabled. Please remember that if you ordered a $1-$5 acceptor, it cannot be enabled to accept $10, $20, $50 or $100 bills, etc.
Check the bezel lighting. Based on the configuration you programmed, the bezel lights should be on solid or flashing at a one second rate. This will indicate that the acceptor is ready to take bills. Insert one of each denomination that can be accepted and verify that proper credit is given to the machine. If the acceptor does not accept a particular bill or does not credit the machine properly, re-check the configuration that you programmed using the Configuration Card.
Front Bezel Lighting Flash Codes The flash codes shown correspond to the Apex bill acceptor error. The acceptor will flash the error code, then wait 3 seconds and flash it again. Flashing Code Meaning of Flashing Code Corrective Action LED’s always OFF The acceptor has no power. LED’s always ON 1 Flash No error exists- acceptor is OK. Something is in the bill path. 2 Flashes Something is obstructing the stacker. 3 Flashes 4 Flashes 5 Flashes 6 Flashes The cassette is full of currency.

Modes of Operation Pulse/Serial Mode Note: To enable this mode on the Apex bill acceptor, make sure the Configuration Card has been configured for “Pulse/Serial” mode. These modes are compatible with the Mars VFM style bill acceptors that use the Pulse/Serial modes. Figure 1 (above) shows the connectors to be used for this mode of operation. Pulse Mode The pulse interface mode can be operated in two ways. The first is a “High Level” mode that uses 120 VAC as the control signals.
the relay contacts (Pin 7 and 8 on the 9-pin connector). Without the 120 VAC power supply, the output is on the 18-pin connector and is a normally high, open-collector transistor output. Low Level Pulse Mode- Connections: Power 120 VAC Model- Connect 120 VAC power to Pins 4 (Black wire) and 6 (White wire) on the 9-pin connector (see Figure 1). 24VAC Model- Connect 24 VAC power to Pins 5 (Black wire) and 6 (White wire) on the 9-pin connector (see Figure 1).

12 VDC Model- Connect +12 VDC to Pin 11 (Red wire) on the 18-pin connector (see Figure 1). Connect DC Ground to Pin 4 (Black wire) on the 18-pin connector. In addition, both the 120 VAC model and 12 VDC model have an “Out of Service” output located on Pin 10 (Tan wire) of the 18-pin connector. It is a normally high, open-collector output transistor that is pulled low when the acceptor is Out of Service. (5-12 VDC at 40 ma Max.
