Apex 7601-UB1BHSUSA by Pyramid: 12 VDC Bill Acceptor for US and Bahamian Notes, Coinco-Style Bezel
12 VDC Apex behind a Coinco-style bezel, listed for US and Bahamian banknotes in one unit.
Not every machine in the Bahamas talks MDB. The 7601-UB1BHSUSA is the 12-volt member of the dual-currency Apex pair: it keeps the Coinco-style faceplate and the US-plus-Bahamian note listing of the 7601-UB4BHSUSA, but swaps the MDB option for Pyramid's 12 VDC power option. Under the ordering code that reads as the 7600-class magnetic-head reader (76), the #1 Coinco-style bezel (01), a 500-note cassette (B) and 12 VDC power (1). The host signalling for this listing has not been confirmed yet, so send us your machine model before you order.
What the part number says
Read with Pyramid's Apex ordering code, 7601-UB1 is the magnetic-head reader (76) behind the Coinco-style bezel (01), with a 500-note plastic cassette (B) and power option 1 for 12 VDC. BillAcceptors.us lists this unit for US and Bahamian notes together. Pyramid's manual treats the last field of a model number as a single ISO country code, so the combined BHSUSA ending is confirmed only by the store listing, and the exact notes enabled for each currency are not stated in the Pyramid documents we hold.
Running it on 12 volts
Power option 1 is rated by Pyramid at 12 VDC, plus or minus 10 percent, at 2.5 A. This option ships without a harness, so reuse the lead already in the machine or source one that suits it.
12-volt or MDB dual-currency unit?
The 7601-UB4BHSUSA shares this front and currency listing but uses the MDB option with Pyramid's MDB harness. Pick it for a vending controller on the MDB bus, and pick this 7601-UB1BHSUSA when the machine supplies 12 VDC instead.
Mounting the Coinco-style front
Fasten the acceptor through at least the two top horizontal bezel slots, on posts 4 mm thick or more, with the metal security plate between bezel and housing. Doors made of wood without studs take Pyramid's 95AB0001 adapter bracket.
Check before you order
This listing confirms the power, bezel, cassette and the two currencies, but not the signalling mode set for the host. Tell us the make and model of your machine and we will confirm the fit with you first.
