Installation & setup notes
Choose the 7400-UB3 when your machine has 110VAC available but no regulated 12V supply — typical for bill changers, standalone kiosks and older cabinets.
The UB3 chassis carries its own 110VAC supply, so it connects straight to wall power in equipment that has no 12V rail — laundromat changers, standalone kiosks and older amusement cabinets. Output to the host controller is pulse or serial, selected with DIP switches.
Uses Pyramid's standard bezel footprint; check your cabinet's cutout against the Apex 7000 mounting drawing before ordering.
Not sure this is the right Apex?
The Apex 7000 family shares one validator platform; models differ by power/interface, bezel and denominations. The 7400-UB3 is the 110VAC (internal power supply) / Standard Pyramid bezel / $1 – $20 (USD) configuration. Closest alternatives:
- Need 12VDC instead (power / interface)? Choose the Apex 7400-UB1.
- Need 24V MDB instead (power / interface)? Choose the Apex 7400-UB4.
- Need Coinco-style bezel instead (bezel)? Choose the Apex 7401-UB3.
- Need VFM-style bezel instead (bezel)? Choose the Apex 7402-UB3.
- Need $1 – $100 (USD) instead (denominations)? Choose the Apex 7600-UB3.
