Plastic Currency Cassettes

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONNCR Currency Cassettes are portable containers, moulded in high impactpolycarbonate, that are designed to store and release currency under thecontrol of the parent currency dispenser sub-system

The following versions of the currency cassette are available for use inATMs:

z Standard width currency cassette Type H8015-STD-01/02-08 (now obso-lete):z standard security variantz tamper indicating variant

z Wide currency cassette (replaces the obsolete standard width cassetteabove):z standard security variantz tamper indicating variantz Fluiditi variants:

(i) Fluiditi Replenishment Security variant(ii) Fluiditi ATM Security variant.

All variants of the cassettes can be mechanically adjusted to hold currency

of different lengths and widths and electro-mechanically adjusted to provide acurrency denomination code.

The mechanical adjustments allow the cassette to be set to accept a worldwide range of currencies. The dimensions of the currency which can be used inthe cassette vary depending on whether the cassette is to be used in a 50xx,56xx or Personas terminal

Standard width currency cassettes to be used in a 50xx, 56xx or Personasterminal accept currency of the following dimensions:

z Minimum width and length 65 mm x 120 mm (2.56 in. x 4.72 in.)z Maximum width and length 95 mm x 170 mm (3.74 in. x 6.69 in.).

Wide currency cassettes to be used in a 50xx, 56xx or Personas terminalaccept currency of the following dimensions:

z Minimum width and length 62 mm x 120 mm (2.44 in. x 4.72 in.)z Maximum width and length 95 mm x 172 mm (3.74 in. x 6.77 in.).

The electro-mechanical adjustments enable a cassette to be given acassette identification code. Up to seven codes are possible, with each codeallowing a different currency denomination to be loaded into a cassette. See“Cassette Identification Code” in this chapter.

RECOGNIZING STANDARD AND WIDE CASSETTESThe single distinguishing feature that enables you to tell wide and standardcassettes apart is the length of the location moulding that accepts the magnethousing. Standard cassettes have the short magnet housing for four magnetsand the housing location on the side of the cassette is moulded to accept thissize. Wide cassettes have the longer housing to accept six magnets and themoulding on the side of the cassette is enlarged accordingly. Fluiditi currencycassettes use the small magnet housing but the side of the cassette is markedto accept the longer housing, indicating that the cassette is the wide type.Refer to the following illustrations.

STANDARD SECURITY CURRENCY CASSETTES

The standard security cassettes are containers which offer the capability toseal the access lid. When the cassette is inserted into the dispenser, amechanism opens a door in the cassette to allow the currency to be pickedfrom the cassette and fed through the currency dispenser sub-system.

When the cassette is removed from the dispenser the door is automaticallyclosed and latched. To gain access to the cassettes interior, the optional seal isbroken and the access lid opened and removed.

TAMPER INDICATING CURRENCY CASSETTES

The tamper indicating currency cassettes differ from the standard securitycassettes in that they provide evidence of unauthorized attempts to open thecontainer or that the cassette has been removed from the ATM and re-inserted.

The cassette contains a mechanism and a coloured indicator in addition tothe provision for sealing the access lid.

When the cassette is being prepared for insertion into the ATM, themechanism is primed, with the indicator showing that it is primed (colour

green), the currency is loaded into the cassette and then the access lid isclosed and the seal fitted.

When the container is inserted into the ATM, then subsequently removed,a door is opened and closed in the same way as for the standard cassette,however the mechanism causes the coloured indicator to advance to show thatthe cassette has been inserted (colour white).

Should it be necessary to remove the cassette between replenishmentoperations, for example to clear a jam, this can be done up to six times beforethe container needs to be reset (primed) again. The indicator shows theinsertions as 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

When the container is returned for replenishment it should be inspectedaccording to local practice and the indicator checked that a single insertion/removal has occurred. If the indicator shows that more than one insertion/removal has occurred the circumstances must be investigated and verified.The access seal can then be broken to gain access for emptying and refilling.

FLUIDITI CURRENCY CASSETTES

There are two types of Fluiditi currency cassettes: the Fluiditi ATM Securitycassette and the Fluiditi Replenishment Security cassette. Both are designedto fit into a security system that injects a marking ink onto the currencywithin the cassette if the ATM is attacked. The currency is permanentlystained and therefore no longer of any use. Because of this, it is veryimportant that the correct procedures be observed when handling this type ofcassette.

The Fluiditi ATM Security cassette looks exactly the same as a standardcassette, except for a small black plastic block on the right hand side. Thisblock allows the ink to be fed into the cassette from the ink injection tankmounted on the side of the dispenser module. Inside the cassette lid is a spraybar with a series of small holes, through which the ink is sprayed onto the

currency.

The Fluiditi ATM Replenishment cassette is the same as the ATMSecurity cassette except that is doesn’t have a green carry handle. Instead, ithas holes on the front of the cassette to accept the pins on the Carrisafe hoodthat is used to remove and carry the cassette.

Once a cassette has had the security marking ink released into it, thecassette can no longer be used and should be disposed of in accordance withthe instructions provided in Chapters 20.4 and 20.5 of NCR publicationBFM0-0547-A000 NCR56XX/Personas Automated Teller Machines Fieldservice Information Service Aids Mini-Manual.

NCR recommends that only the service engineer should handle activatedcassettes or clean spillages inside the ATM. Care must be taken whenhandling activated cassettes, as the ink is corrosive and stains permanently(refer to “Cleaning” in this chapter).

Tamper IndicatorsAll cassettes have the following features to indicate tampering:

z Door shutters have a notched section that breaks off when stressedz Plastic roller door has a deformable strip.

The Cassette BodyThe cassette body holds the currency. It contains a spring-loaded pushermechanism that moves along a slot in the bottom of the body, to push thecurrency stack to the front of the cassette into the pick position. The currencystack is held between the left and right-hand note guides. These adjust to suit

currency of different lengths. The front ends of the note guides have springfingers that help to separate the notes as they are picked from the stack.

Incorporated in the pusher is a note low block magnet to operate a reedswitch in the pick module. This magnet can be set in either of two positions. Ahousing on one side of the cassette body contains up to four magnets whichagain operate reed switches on the pick module to signal the cassetteidentification code.

Also in the body compartment are the left and right spring-loaded doorshutters, the currency separator brushes and fingers, and the anti-resetplunger. On the outside of the body are the lid latch and cassette carryinghandle, the projecting lug which is used to latch the cassette into the pickmodule, and the embossed cassette identification code label.

Currency Length AdjustmentThe currency length adjustment, which is, in effect, across the width of thecassette, is made by repositioning two note guides and four spacers located inthe base of the cassette.

There are two types of spacers available for currency length adjustment;segment and fixed size.

Segment Type Note Adjustment Spacers

The note guides in the body of the cassette bear against spacer blocks knownas E spacers. These blocks have to be cut to certain lengths so that the noteguides are supported the correct distance apart corresponding to the length ofthe currency being dispensed.

A sharp knife and a medium size cross-head screwdriver are required tomake these adjustments.

FEBRUARY 200512.2-9



Fixed Size Note Adjustment Spacers

There are four fixed size spacers, also known as E spacers, which provide thesame function as the Segment Type spacers described above. The fixed sizespacers must be changed to suit the currency being dispensed, they can not becut to size.

Note Low SensingIn addition to the currency length and width adjustments, provision is alsomade to change the note low sensing in a cassette. Two note low sensingconditions are available:

z 75 notes +/- 50z 200 notes + /- 50.

The Cassette LidThe lid hooks into locating slots at the front of the body and is latched at therear. It holds note guides and spacers which adjust to suit currency width. Aspring plunger in the body compartment of tamper indicating cassettes (referto the illustration of the wide plastic cassette) is pushed down by the lid intothe insertion counter mechanism (see the section “Insertion Counter”). Aninternal baffle at the latch end of the lid gives additional protection against anattempt to prise up the lid and fish for currency.

The lid is shaped so that it will not close properly if the pusher is notreleased or the cassette is overfilled.

Currency Width AdjustmentThe currency lid holds note guides and spacers which adjust to suit currencywidth, which is, in effect, the internal height of the cassette. There are twotypes of spacers available for currency width adjustment; segment and fixedsize.


The currency width adjustment is made by cutting the eight spacers betweenthe upper note guides and the lid. Four of these spacers are the same as thecurrency length E spacers and four are known as yellow spacers (shownabove).

A sharp knife and a medium size cross-head screwdriver are required tomake these adjustments.

There are eight fixed spacers which provide the same function as the SegmentType spacers described above. Four of these spacers are the same as thecurrency length E spacers and four are known as yellow spacers (shownabove). The fixed size spacers must be changed to suit the currency beingdispensed, they can not be cut to size.

NOTE: On older cassettes there are six E spacers (three for each lid noteguide).

The Cassette BaseThe illustration below shows the components inside the tamper indicatingcassette base.

The base of the cassette holds the truck door and its retractionmechanism, the pusher ratchet slide and lever, and the insertion counter andwindow (TI cassettes). The shape of the base forms rails which slide into thecassette guides in the pick module.

CASSETTE OPERATION

The above illustration shows the components of the dispenser pick modulewhich mate with the cassette. When the cassette is inserted into the dispenserthe prongs of the pick module keyplate enter the holes in the base of thecassette and push against locking pawls on the truck door. The door is pushedinto the cassette base, leaving the front open to permit the currency to bepicked from the cassette and dispensed.

Several other actions happen as the truck door is opened:

z The door shutters are disengaged from the door and are pushed back bythe pick line

z The fingers next to the currency separator brushes drop down clear of thecurrency stack. The function of these fingers is to prevent notes at thefront of the stack being dragged down by the opening door

z The ratchet slide attached to the door lowers the ratchet lever so that itdisengages from the pusher pawl

z On TI cassettes the insertion counter is advanced one place (see the sec-tion “Insertion Counter”).

As the currency is dispensed the pusher moves forward under springpressure to keep the stack of currency in position. The pick line has aneccentric motion which tends to push the currency stack back into the cassetteagainst the action of the pusher. It is to permit this to and fro motion that theratchet lever disengages from the pusher when the cassette is in thedispenser. When the pusher moves close to the front of the cassette themagnet in its base comes alongside metal plates under the floor of thecurrency compartment. These plates strengthen the magnetic field andtransfer it to operate a reed switch on the pick module keyplate. This switch

signals that the currency in the cassette is running low.Removal of the cassette from the dispenser automatically closes and

latches the front door and the interior of the cassette can only be reached byopening the top access lid. The ratchet is raised by the action of the doorclosing and is again in a position where it will engage with the pusher pawl. Inthis way the pusher is locked close to the currency stack so that the currencyis held in place while the cassette is being carried.

When the pusher is in its locked position the cassette lid can not be closed.

Pusher OperationTo load currency into the cassette the pusher is manually moved fully to therear and locked until the currency is put in. It is then released against theback of the currency stack to keep it under pressure. Failure to release thepusher from its locked position will prevent the cassette lid from closing. Youmove the pusher by lifting the pusher pawl arms, sliding it to the rear, andthen holding it in that position while lowering the arms so that the pusherpawl engages with the ratchet. There is one locking detent on the extremerear end of the ratchet.

CAUTION

Lift the pusher pawl arms - do not squeeze.

LIFT - DO NOT SQUEEZE

Insertion Counter

When the tamper indicating cassette is being prepared for insertion into theATM, the mechanism is primed by pressing the reset lever to the side andreleasing it until the indicator shows green. The currency is loaded into thecassette and then the access lid is closed and the seal fitted.

When the container is inserted into the dispenser, then subsequentlyremoved, the front truck door is opened and closed in the same way as thestandard cassette. The door also pushes a link which turns a cam linked to theindex pawl engaged with the counter wheel. Each time the door is opened thewheel is advanced by the index pawl one fourteenth of a revolution. The wheelis marked on the edge and top with two sets of indications which showthrough two windows, one at the back of the cassette and one in the bottom ofthe currency compartment. The indications count the insertions as Green(cassette primed), White (first insertion), 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

On the sixth insertion a spring-loaded follower, pressing against the edgeof the counter wheel, moves into a detent in the wheel and locks it. Thismovement permits the spring-loaded door lockout lever to move in front of thedoor link when the cassette is pulled out of the pick module preventing thecassette from being used in the dispenser again until the insertion counter isreset. The anti reset plunger stops any movement of the reset lever while thecassette lid is closed. When the lid is opened the plunger spring lifts it clear ofthe lever mechanism and the counter wheel can be reset.

Further security is provided by the lockout lever which is driven outthrough the side of the cassette base by the action of the door link when thedoor is opening. This lever engages with a stop on the side frame of the pickmodule and prevents the cassette being pulled out of the pick module with thetruck door open.

Cassette Identification CodeEach currency cassette shipped with an ATM is set with a code that can beread by the ATM software so that the cassette can be identified regardless ofits position in the dispenser. The software matches the cassette code to aspecific denomination of currency. Cassettes with the same code will be loadedwith notes of the same value. Normally four cassette codes are recognized butup to seven codes are possible where extended cassette IDs have been selectedin software (see the section “Setting the Cassette Identification Code”).Cassettes should be marked to show which code is set.

The identification code of a cassette is set by up to four magnets containedin a plastic housing attached to the cassette side by a clip as shown in theillustration below of the Standard Width and Fluiditi currency cassette.

The Wide Currency Cassette has space in the plastic housing for sixmagnets (positions A, B, 1, 2, 3 and 4) as shown below, but only four (positions1, 2, 3 and 4) are currently used.

The four magnets interact with four reed switches located on a printedcircuit board attached to the frame of the dispenser pick module associated

12

34

Clips




with the cassette location in the dispenser subsystem. Depending on whethera magnet is installed, or not, and the orientation of the magnet in positions 1,2, 3 and 4, all four of the reed switches provide a code representing thecassette identification number.

When the currency cassette is inserted into a pick module in any positionin the dispenser, it signals its identity via the reed switches. The firmwareidentifies each cassette and so is able to select the proper one for dispensingbills of a specific denomination.

Cassette Body to Lid IdentificationThe cassettes provided with an NCR four position dispenser could each be setto a different code, say Code 1, Code 2, Code 3 and Code 4, to dispense fourdifferent denominations or these could be changed so that, for example, thedispenser will dispense two different denomination notes from the fourcassettes, that is with two cassettes set to Code 1 and two to Code 2. Because,also, the cassette has to be adjusted internally to accept a specificdenomination of currency, lids and bodies of cassettes should be marked sothat they can be kept together.

The currency cassette can be identified by writing the currencydenomination on the inside or outside of both the body and lid, using anindelible ink pen.

The H-8015-STD1-01/02-08 Standard Plastic Cassette (shown below) hasembossed numbers 1 to 5 on the body that can be used to identify cassettecodes.

NOTE: The letters H and L marked against positions 1 and 2 do not apply toATMs.




The wide plastic cassette has embossing on the body and lid as shown inthe following figure and identification may be made as follows:

z A: Colour coded stick-on labels 10 mm x 15 mm (0.4 in. x 0.6 in.) approx.z B: Numerics for denoting cassette identification typez C: Recessed areas for either marking with indelible ink pens or for attach-

ing adhesive labels to denote currency denomination, etc. at the discretionof the financial institution

z D: Alphas for denoting additional cassette identification types or, for sameuse as B.

CURRENCY LOADINGThis section describes the procedures that should be followed whenreplenishing a currency cassette. Included are the procedures to:

z Open the cassettez Remove any currency left in the cassettez Prepare the new currency for loading into the cassettez Reset the tamper indicating cassettez Load the currency into the cassettez Identify the cassette body to the cassette lidz Close the cassette.

The procedures assume that the cassette has been removed from thedispenser and that Fluiditi cassettes have also been removed from theirsecure transport hoods and sleeves.

CAUTION

Once a Fluiditi cassette has had the security marking inkreleased into it, the cassette can no longer be used and shouldbe disposed of in accordance with the instructions provided inChapters 20.4 and 20.5 of NCR publication BFM0-0547-A000NCR56XX/Personas Automated Teller Machines Field serviceInformation Service Aids Mini-Manual.

NCR recommends that only a service engineer should handle activatedcassettes or clean spillages inside the ATM.

OPENING THE CASSETTE

WARNING

Wear protective clothing when handling Fluiditi cassettes thathave had the marking ink released into them.

To open a currency cassette perform the following procedure:

1. Place the cassette on a flat table.2. If the cassette is a tamper indicating variant, perform the recommended

security procedures of the financial organization’s control documentation.3. Remove the latch seal.4. Press the lower latch hasp down then pull the bottom of the latch towards




you.

5. Lift the latch up a small amount. Pull the top of the latch towards youthen hinge it down.

REMOVING UNUSED CURRENCY

Pusher OperationThe currency cassette may be fitted with either of the following types ofpusher arm assemblies.

WARNING

Wear protective clothing when handling Fluiditi cassetteswhich have had the marking ink released into them.

NOTE: If the cassette is fitted with pusher arms as shown in the followingillustration, lift the pusher arms: DO NOT SQUEEZE.

NOTE: The following procedures show the new pusher arm assembly.

LIFT - DO NOT SQUEEZE

Pusher




ProcedureTo remove any unused currency remaining in the cassette, place the handleend of the cassette against a suitable stop, such as a wall, then perform thefollowing procedure:

1. Lift the pusher arms then move the pusher to the rearmost position bypushing with the right hand against the pusher.

2. Latch the pusher in the rear position by applying gentle pressure near thebase of the pusher, then releasing the pusher arms.

3. Remove the remaining currency and balance the transaction in accor-dance with the financial institution’s procedures.




PREPARING CURRENCYBefore loading the currency into a cassette it must be prepared correctly asfollows:

Used currency should be prepared by holding a bundle of approximately100 notes in one hand and separating out with the other. While separatingout, the currency should be checked for obvious defects such as:

z Adhesive tape on the surface of the currencyz Staples, pins or any foreign matter attached to the currencyz Torn or limp notes with pin holesz Two or more notes stuck to each otherz Corner folds (straighten as required)z Folded notes.

New or uncirculated currency should be separated (fanned) out severaltimes before loading into the cassette. Any notes considered to beunacceptable should be removed.

The packaging of new currency can cause it to be set into a bow shape.This bow shape may be either across the length or the width of the notes andcan cause the notes to jam in the dispenser. Notes bowed across the widthhave been specifically identified as causing jams in the Personas 86 dispenserand it is recommended that these notes should be processed through acounting machine where possible. If this is not possible then the notes shouldbe manually fanned and flattened several times. If the bow persists follow theinstructions that are given in the section “Loading The Cassette” for notesthat are deformed in this way.

NOTE: Good currency preparation will enhance the performance of yourcurrency dispenser.

RESETTING THE TAMPER INDICATING CASSETTEThe tamper indicating version of the cassette has a mechanical device which,on insertion of the cassette into the currency dispenser, moves the insertioncounter and opens the currency exit door. On withdrawal of the cassette fromthe dispenser the exit door is locked but the counter is not moved.

The indication on the counter depends on the number of times the cassettehas been inserted into and removed from the dispenser, that is White (oneinsertion and removal) 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.




Before loading the cassette the mechanism must be reset to give thenumber of insertions required (up to six).

Operate the reset control by moving it to the right then releasing it theappropriate number of times until the insertion counter indicates Green.

LOADING THE CASSETTEWhen loading a cassette with currency, care must be taken to ensure thatnotes of the correct denomination are loaded in accordance with the cassetteidentification code on the label attached to the cassette.

CAUTION


To load a cassette with currency observe the “Pusher Operation”procedure given under the heading ‘Removing Unused Currency’ in thisChapter and proceed as follows:

1. Lift the pusher arms then pull the pusher to the rear of the cassette andlock in position.

2. Align the edges of the notes in both planes by holding a bundle looselybetween the fingers and thumbs of both hands and tapping lightly on aflat surface, then tapping the note ends.

3. It is recommended that the cassette be placed at an angle so that eachnote stack can be loaded without it falling over. For example, stand thecassette at an angle, with the handle end at the bottom, and against a wallas shown. Load the notes into the cassette.

NOTE: 1. For notes bowed along their length, load the cassette withalternate packs/bundles of 100 notes turned as shown, and make sure thatany bowed notes are loaded with the bow towards the pusher.

NOTE: 2. For notes bowed across their width, load the cassette withalternate packs/bundles of 100 notes turned as shown, and make sure thatthe bow is pointing away from the pusher.




4. Continue loading until the required amount is loaded, or a 295 mm (11.6in.) stack is loaded. This maximum stack size is indicated by the maxi-mum load point label on the inside of the cassette.

5. Lift the pusher arms and push the pusher and the note stack upwardsuntil the currency stack touches the front support, then release the pusherarms.

The currency should now remain between the front support and thepusher in an upright position, neatly stacked between the cassette guides.




CLOSING THE CASSETTEHaving loaded and, where required, reset the cassette, it should be closed asfollows:

NOTE: Make sure that the pusher is not locked in the rear position beforeclosing the cassette. The lid can not be closed if the the pusher has notbeen released or the cassette has been overfilled.

1. Insert the tongues on the cassette lid into the slots in the cassette basethen lower the lid on to the cassette base.

2. Lift the latch up and forward until it hooks on to the lid latch block.

SETTING THE CASSETTE IDENTIFICATION CODEWhen the denomination of the currency held in a cassette is to be changed theidentification code for the cassette may also have to be changed. It is alsoimportant to determine the opacity or singularity value of the new currencyand, if necessary, reconfigure the parent system with this value.

It is essential that the magnets are pointing in the correct direction.Therefore, each magnet has a marked end, a painted dot, to indicate whichway round it should be installed in the housing.

NOTE: Early versions of the magnet are of square section, later versions areof round section.

The following table shows the location and orientation of the four magnetsto produce the seven cassette identification codes.:

NOTE: 1. High* and Low* apply to the M80-05 Currency Dispenser. X indicates a magnet inserted in the housing, 0 indicates magnet notpresent in the housing. The bar above or below the X indicates if themagnet should be placed in the housing with the marked end up or down.

NOTE: 2. Codes 5, 6, and 7 are recognized only in ATMs where extendedcassette IDs have been enabled in software.

CHANGING CASSETTE IDENTIFICATION CODEWhen it is required to change the identification code of a cassette, say as inthis example, to change the setup of a cassette from code 1 to code 2, so thattwo cassettes can dispense notes of the same denomination, perform thefollowing procedure:

1. Open and remove the cassette lid.2. Release the clip(s) holding the plastic housing to the cassette side frame

and remove the plastic housing complete with the magnets from the

cassette.

3. Remove the magnet from positions 2.4. Replace the magnets in the housing so that they are positioned and orien-

tated for the code required as shown. For example, to set the cassette toCode 2 a magnet should be inserted in position 1 with the dot end up.Another magnet should be inserted in position 4 with the dot end down.No magnets should be inserted in positions 2 and 3.

5. Attach the housing complete with the magnets to the cassette frame usingthe clip(s) released in step 1. The housing should be inserted with thelonger of the two legs towards the handle end of the cassette.

6. Close the cassette lid.7. Mark the cassette body and lid with the currency code according to local

practice.

MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTSThe standard security, Fluiditi, and tamper indicating variants of thecurrency cassette can be adjusted to hold currencies of different lengths andwidths and to change the note low sensing facility.

NOTE: The terms “left” and “right” in the following adjustments and settingtables apply to the cassette when looked at from the front (truck door) end.

z The length adjustment is made by changing the position of two noteguides located in the base of the cassette.

z The width adjustment is made by changing the height of the spacerslocated between two more note guides and the cassette lid.

z The note low sensing adjustment is made by changing the note low blockposition in the base of the cassette.

CURRENCY LENGTH ADJUSTMENTThe currency length adjustment is made by first establishing the length of thecurrency to be loaded into the cassette then using this measurement todetermine the position of two note guides in the base of the cassette.

Adjustment is provided to allow the cassette to accommodate currency oflengths from 120 mm (4.72 in.) to 172 mm (6.77 in.).

Once the length of the currency is known, this is used to determine aguide code and the length of a spacer, which together, are used to determinethe position of two note guides located along the floor of the cassettecompartment.

The two note guides are installed along the left-hand and right-hand sidesof the cassette, as viewed from the front (that is, the truck door end) of thecassette. A triangular pointer on the front of the guide and a triangular markat the rear line up with numbers embossed on the floor of the cassettecompartment. This number is part of the guide code.

The other part of the guide code is a letter, A or B, which is embossed on

The A or B noteguides can be installed along either the right or left hand side of the cassettefloor (as shown) depending on the guide code but must always be installedwith the spring finger end of the guide pointing to the number embossed atthe front end of the cassette.

Segment Type Note Adjustment SpacersThe segment type spacer is embossed on one side with the letter E and thenumbers 1 to 15 and is known as the E spacer. The E spacer is designed tosnap into position without the use of tools.

The following example shows how to adjust a cassette for currency oflength 120 mm (4.72 in.).

NOTE: This example describes setting the currency length in a widecassette. The procedure is the same for the standard width cassette butusing the currency length tables for standard width.

1. Determine the length of the new currency (in this case 120 mm (4.72 in.).2. Use the table given under the heading “Currency Length, Note Guide and

“E” Spacer Codes for the Wide Currency Cassette” at the end of this sec-tion to determine the guide code and the E spacer setting for the currency.For this example the left hand guide (L.H.) will have a guide code of B3and the right hand guide (R.H.) a code of A3. The spacers will have a set-ting of E9 for both the left hand guide and the right hand guide.

NOTE: The letters A and B in the tables indicate which note guide should beplaced to the left and which to the right. Remember that right and left areconsidered when looking on the front of the cassette (the end with thetruck door).

CURRENCY WIDTH ADJUSTMENTThe currency width adjustment is made by first establishing the width of thecurrency that the cassette is to hold then using this measurement todetermine the setting of spacers located between two note guides and thecassette lid. The setting of the spacers can be adjusted to accommodatecurrency of varying widths:

z Minimum width 62 mm (2.44 in.)z Maximum width 95 mm (3.74 in.).

As with the length adjustment there are two types of spacers:

z Segment typez Fixed size.


Cassette Lid - E and Yellow Spacer LocationsDepending upon the type of cassette, the lid will be fitted with two yellowspacers and either three or two E spacers. Newer lids are designed to acceptthe spray bar of the Fluiditi system and this occupies the position formerlytaken by a central E spacer. Both types of lids are shown in the followingillustrations.

The E spacers are the same as the E spacers used when adjusting thecurrency length. Each E spacer is attached to the lid note guides by a cross-headed screw.

The other four spacers are known as Yellow spacers (shown below), andare designed to clip into the cassette lid. Each Yellow spacer is also attachedto the lid note guides by a cross headed screw.

The following example shows how to adjust the cassette for currency ofwidth 67 mm (2.64 in.) on a lid with two E spacers and two yellow spacers.Older cassettes will require another E spacer to fit in the central position ofeach note guide.

Proceed as follows:

1. Open the cassette and remove the lid.2. Using a cross-head screwdriver, remove the two note guides from the lid

by undoing the cross-head screws from the two Yellow spacers then usethe same screwdriver to remove the E spacers from the note guides.

3. Remove the Yellow spacers from the lid by pressing in the two spring legs

the end of this section to determine the spacer code for the currency:6. Set the four new Yellow and four (or six) new E spacers to their spacer

codes. For this example the Yellow spacers should be set to C8 and the Espacers to E10. The procedure to set the E spacer is the same as that whenadjusting for currency length, that is, cut the spacer above segment 10.The procedure to set a Yellow spacer to its spacer code is as follows:z The Yellow spacers are embossed on one side. Looking at this side, you

see two sets of numbers 1 to 12 reading in opposite directions. One endhas the letter C on it and the other has the letter D.

z The Yellow spacer code is C8 so count from the C end to segment 8and, using a sharp knife, cut the spacer just above the number 8 sothat you are left with a spacer that has C and segments 1 to 8, refer tofollowing illustration.

z Fit a locking wedge into the first gap in the cut Yellow spacer asshown.

zzRemove any burrs left after cutting.

7. Install the four new Yellow spacers in the cassette lid by pressing the legsof the spacer together and pushing them into the apertures in the cassettelid. The legs of the spacers should be pointing towards the centre of thecassette lid as shown in the following illustration.

8. Using the cross-head screwdriver, attach the new E spacers to the lid noteguides.

CASSETTE REPAIRReplacement parts of the currency cassette are identified in the relevant ATMparts microfiche.

SPECIAL TOOLSTwo special tools are available to help in dismantling the cassette. Thesesimplify the disassembly and reduce the possibility of damage to componentscaused by the use of normal hand tools. The tools are:

z The pusher pawl wedge (Part No. 445-0598365)z The cassette base dismantling fixture (Part No. 445-0589012).

Orders for each item should be directed in the normal manner to:

z WSPC, Peachtree City, Georgia

Additionally, to carry out the following dismantling procedures, you willrequire a pick module keyplate.




DISMANTLING THE CASSETTEThe following procedures describe how to strip the cassette to its componentparts.

CASSETTE BODY COMPONENTSThe following illustration shows the components of the cassette body with thebase removed. The only components of the body which require you to removethe base are the pusher springs.

Door ShuttersThe left and right truck door shutters are removable when the truck door isopen.

1. Open and remove the cassette lid.2. Open the truck door using a pick module keyplate.3. Unclip the flat metal springs of the door shutters and slide the shutters

back out of their tracks.

Magnetic Transfer Plates




Brushes, Fingers and Magnetic Transfer PlatesThe plastic mouldings of the right and left separator brushes retain thecurrency fingers and note low magnet transfer plates in position at the front ofthe cassette. Remove these as follows:

1. Open and remove the cassette lid.2. Open the truck door using a pick module keyplate.3. Hold the pusher back, clear of the front of the cassette.4. Grasp the head of a separator brush between the thumb and forefinger

and pull forward. At the same time push down on the brush clip, in theslot directly behind the brush bristles, with a small screwdriver blade.

5. The magnetic transfer plate and currency finger drop out as the brushcomes clear of the cassette.

NOTE: The currency fingers and magnetic transfer plates can be placed ateither side but the brushes are right and left handed.




Replace the transfer plates and currency fingers in the cassette as follows:

1. Turn the cassette upside down and support it on one hand, using thishand to hold the pusher back.

2. With your free hand put the magnetic transfer plate into its recess next tothe pusher guide slot. Use the fingers of your hand supporting the cassetteto guide the transfer plate into place.

3. Hang the currency finger on its location.4. Slide the brush in until its clip engages.

Cassette Handle and LatchExert pressure on one leg of the handle until the pin at that side becomes free.

The cassette latch is riveted in position and is not replaceable for securityreasons.




Pusher PawlDetach the pusher pawl from the cassette body using a pusher pawl wedge(shown in the following illustration).

1. Press the flaps of the low note magnet block together and lift the block outof the pusher.

2. Insert the pusher pawl wedge into the slots in the top cap of the pusher.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCEThere are no preventive maintenance or lubrication procedures applicable tothe currency cassette.

LUBRICATIONLubricate the currency cassette during assembly and part replacement asdescribed here.

Use only Synthetic Lubricating Grease (NCR Part Number 009-0004618= 100 gm containers).

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSThe following general instructions must be observed:

1. Use clean lubricant from properly labelled containers.2. Satisfactory operation of mechanical components depends upon proper

lubrication. Follow the specific lubrication instructions in the followingparagraphs in detail.

3. Avoid excessive lubrication. Apply only that amount which will provide athin coating on the entire bearing area or surface, unless otherwisespecified.

4. All parts to be lubricated must be free from dust, corrosion and metalchips.

5. Lubricate surfaces during assembly, unless conditions caused bysubsequent handling are detrimental (for example, accumulation of chips,grit, and so on) to the proper operation of the part. In those cases lubrica-tion should be applied after assembly.

6. Apply the lubricant by brushing.

SPECIFIC LUBRICATIONLubricate the cassette as follows (see the shaded parts of the illustrationsbelow):

z Base plastic moulding:z Truck door guides and trackz Lockout lever trackz Door link track.

z Door link (both sides at lockout lever stud track)z Lockout lever studz Left and right hand door shutter springs (sparingly *).
