Installation & setup notes
Order the 7401-UB1 when you are replacing a 12V Coinco validator and want to keep the existing faceplate opening.
Runs on 12VDC from the host machine's harness using pulse or serial (RS-232) output, so it wires to arcade, redemption, gaming and kiosk boards without a separate power supply. Pulse-per-dollar and interface options are set with the on-board DIP switches.
The Coinco-style faceplate matches the opening left by Coinco BA30/BA50-series and similar validators, so a swap needs no panel modification.
Not sure this is the right Apex?
The Apex 7000 family shares one validator platform; models differ by power/interface, bezel and denominations. The 7401-UB1 is the 12VDC / Coinco-style bezel / $1 – $20 (USD) configuration. Closest alternatives:
- Need Standard Pyramid bezel instead (bezel)? Choose the Apex 7400-UB1.
- Need 24V MDB instead (power / interface)? Choose the Apex 7401-UB4.
- Need 110VAC (internal power supply) instead (power / interface)? Choose the Apex 7401-UB3.
- Need VFM-style bezel instead (bezel)? Choose the Apex 7402-UB1.
