Recycler Loading, Unloading, and Float Down

Some of our two-way BATMs come with a Recycler. Very useful, it accepts up to 2 denominations of banknotes, which it can then also dispense to your customers. Unlike a simple cash dispenser, it does force you to jump through a few extra hoops, though. A Recycler is recommended for lower volume locations where 2-way operation is desired, but substantial amounts of cash on-hand is unnecessary.

The Recycler must be manually loaded, one banknote at a time.
The Recycler must be specifically unloaded (also called a “float down”). This unloading must be performed before certain critical operations, like updating the firmware.

When the Recycler fills to capacity of any particular banknote, it will pass further banknotes through to the stacker (cashbox).

IMPORTANT:

The Recycler must be emptied prior to updating your acceptor firmware!

Recyclers use special firmware, and installing non-recycler firmware may damage it.

BE SURE TO SPECIFY THAT YOU USE A RECYCLER WHEN REQUESTING NEW BILLSET FIRMWARE!
