General Information

This page contains general information on installing,
operating and maintaning the BA**B Series Bill Acceptor.
Taking time to read this information and becoming
familiar with it will help you obtain the best performance
from your BA**B.

The BA**B Series Bill Acceptor is designed to fit into
existing standard openings established by vending
machine manufacturers. These mountings usually consist
of four studs in the vending machine to which the bill
acceptor is mounted. If an additional mounting bracket
and/or hardware is required, please contact your nearest
Coinco office for additional kit information.
NOTE: The BA**B requires one of the following

power harnesses.
#407052-1 (8 Pin Jones Interface)

On most controller-type vending machines, the BA**B
power cable interfaces directly to the vending machine
electronic controller board through an additional
vendor interface harness. Contact your nearest Coinco
office for additional harness information.
