Cleaning Procedure
Cleaning the Banknote Recycler’s Transport path
is very important. Adhering Iron powder or dirt on
the Recycler’s Sensors may cause poor
performance or errors. Perform a scheduled cleaning at least once a month to keep the Recycler
Transport path clean. Use a dry
or a Cotton swab to wipe dirt and stains from the
Magnetic and Optical Sensors, Rollers and Belts.
If necessary, blow the inside of the Unit clean with
, soft, lint-free cloth
a compressed
air jet to remove clinging foreign
objects.

Introduction
Most Banknote Recycler failures are due to minor
causes. Before replacing any parts, make sure that
all assembly and Circuit Board Connectors are
properly fitted and the harness is properly
connected.
Poor performance by the VEGA-RC Banknote
Recy
cler is often caused when dust or foreign
objects adheres to the Sensors or the Transport
Belts. Clean the Banknote insertion section first,
then observe the operating state of the Recycler in
detail when re-initializing power. This observation
is important in locating any failure causes and the
possible fault location.

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 … See Page 6-3

23 Recycler– another name for the VEGA-RC, an optional add-on device for the VEGA-BV.
The Recycler adds additional capability and functionality to the VEGA-BV Unit
through its ability to stack, store, and recycle Banknotes back to the customer
upon demand. This is particularly useful during cash transactions and vending
operations … See Page 1-1
24 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 needed, 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 pushbutton 'C' on the VEGA-RC. This is the primary
function performed when Pushbutton 'C' is depressed during Test T0 in Section 6
… See Page 1-4
25 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 manually
by depressing pushbutton 'D' on the VEGA-RC. This is the primary function per-
formed when Pushbutton “D” is depressed during Test T0 and Test T9a or T9b in
Section 6 … See Page 2-5

27 The 7-Segment Display – a chip package that displays alphanumeric data from program
control by lighting various combinations of its 7-segments in
a chip package in order to form user-recognized letters and
numbers. In the VEGA-RC Unit it relates to the two (2) Seven-
Segment LED Semiconductor Chip Packages located on the
face of the VEGA-RC CPU Board. The display is used to
indicate both operational status as-well-as diagnostic test inform-
ation … See Page 6-2

28 USB – an acronym for Universal Serial Bus. The USB protocol is a widely used serial-based
communications data bus which allows a large number of peripheral devices to
communicate with a host controller, and is commonly found on nearly all Personal
Computers built today. The VEGA-BV features a USB interface, allowing the user to
download data files into flash memory quickly and easily from a PC or Handheld PDA
Device … See Table 1-2 on page 1-5 and See Page 1-4 of the VEGA Operation and
Maintenance Service Manual.

29 Validator – a piece of electronic equipment designed to accept and validate the authenticity
of Banknotes used in automated cash transactions and vending operations.
The validation process involves evaluating data received from Magnetic Sensors,
Optical Sensors, or a combination of both. Validation techniques are constantly
being improved in order to thwart the efforts of would-be Counterfeiters. Newer
validation technologies employ the use of CMOS photo-imaging Sensors to
obtain even greater accuracy and security. JCM Global is a World recognized
leader in the field of Banknote Validation. The VEGA-RC Banknote Recycler is
an integral part of the VEGA Banknote Validation system … See Page 1-1
30 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 of working with payment processing and
vending systems in paying back Banknotes to a customer as a result of
cash transactions initiated by a Host System … See Page 2-1
