Calibrating System 200/500/600 Bill Acceptors

How to Calibrate Standard Bill Acceptors

A properly calibrated note acceptor provides the best possible bill acceptance rate for your machine. Standard Change Makers designs their products with calibration procedures that you can perform at your location. With the 8051 upgrade, we’ve even made it automatic using the keyboard or data terminal.

Choose from the list of note acceptors below that matches your machine. The serial tag on the unit will help to identify the note acceptor if you are not sure which type you own.
