Pyramid Apex 7601-UB4BHSUSA Bill Acceptor (US & Bahamian Dollar, MDB)

Vending and self-service operators in the Bahamas take in two currencies every day, and a single-currency validator turns half of those customers away. The 7601-UB4BHSUSA solves that with one Apex head loaded for both US and Bahamian notes. Its part number spells out the build under Pyramid's own Apex ordering code: 7600-class magnetic-head reader, the #1 Coinco-style faceplate, an upstacker (U) with a 500-bill cassette (B), and the MDB power/communication option (4), which ships with an MDB harness. That makes it a drop-in for Coinco-cut vending doors already running MDB coin mechanisms or card readers. Firmware and currency files can be refreshed later with the USB cable, PRO-2 or BluStream. If your machine needs Bahamian notes only, compare the 7600-UB4-BHS.

The 7601-UB4BHSUSA is the pick for Bahamas vending where customers pay in both US and Bahamian notes: one MDB validator handles both currencies, and its Coinco-style faceplate drops into doors cut for Coinco units.

The UB4 talks MDB (Multi-Drop Bus) at 24V, the standard for snack, beverage and combo vending machines. Plug the MDB harness into the vending controller and the acceptor is recognised by the VMC — no pulse settings to match, and it coexists with MDB coin mechs and card readers on the same bus.

The Coinco-style faceplate matches the opening left by Coinco BA30/BA50-series and similar validators, so a swap needs no panel modification.

This unit ships with the currency firmware already loaded, so no programming is needed on site. Currency updates for this market are available through the free PTI Acceptor Tools software when the note set changes.

The Apex 7000 family shares one validator platform; models differ by power/interface, bezel and denominations. The 7601-UB4BHSUSA is the 24V MDB / Coinco-style bezel / US dollar + Bahamian dollar (USD/BSD) configuration. Closest alternatives:
