I have 4 validators in my change machines (110v) that I would like to upgrade to version 3.73. Yes, they accept the latest currencies but I have heard that there are some good fake bills that get past earlier versions of the firmware and I want to upgrade them to prevent that.

Oh really? Does anyone know the source to get the firmware updates? I was wondering about that.

A lot of great info - thanks!! I have heard there are some newer fake bills that are getting past the acceptor and the newer firmware can prevent it which is how this started. I believe it is only the larger bills so I am not too concerned with my bay acceptors since they don’t accept those...

Thanks. They do accept bills, but when newer versions of bills come out, I have had to pay to upgrade them and would like to be able to do it myself. We have several locations so I am expecting it to cost a bit upfront but recoup the cost over time.

Hello - I would like to update the firmware on my bill acceptors. What do I need to do that? Seems like I need this part here: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-59779-mei-bpm-lite-bill-validator-programmer-115-vac.aspx I would also need some kind of adapter to plug it into a wall outlet? And...

I tried this experiment, but people just threw the trash on the ground instead

Do you change the brushes? That should be done every so often and then the motors themselves should last a long time. I have had one or two melt at the terminals but otherwise they have been fine.

What don’t you like about the air shamee nozzle?

I use the rubber elbows and they work great - still have the original ones I put on 1-2 years ago and no problems

Where do you get yours serviced? I use a local independent guy and about every 3 years he does a full overhaul that costs about $700-800. Wondering if I am way overpaying...

Air Shammee hands down. It will pay for itself very quickly, doesn’t use any chemicals, and only costs a bit of electricity to run. Customers love it.

How are you viewing the video? There are two streams - Main Stream, and Sub Stream. The main one is full resolution, the sub stream is lower resolution to stream faster. If you’re looking at the cameras from a phone app you will see the lower resolution stream (unless you specifically switch to...

Just sent you a PM

I have the same system and I have been able to get license plates plenty of times. All depends where you mount the cameras and at what angles. Are you sure you’re viewing the full 4K video? I can almost read my bay instruction signs from mine...

Correct, each time you put a stack of bills through, it will count one denomination in the top pocket, and reject the rest in the second pocket. And it will stop at the strap limit so you can easily strap the bills. For example if you put in a big stack of mixed bills and the first one is a $1...

Get a Cummins 2 pocket counter/sorter. About $2k used but fastest way to count and sort bills. Hard to believe some people do it by hand - your time is valuable, spend the money for a machine that can do it much quicker and more reliably.

Update to my original post: the shipping estimate when I placed the online order was $20.xx. Just got the invoice and it ended up being $24.xx. Still reasonable for a 32lb box. And this is going to a commercial address (my mailbox store)

Just curious - did you place the order online? If so, is that what the shipping estimate said before you placed the order? I just ordered quite a bit of items and the shipping estimate was around $20, and that was for one large box weighing 32lbs (certainly more than your 5 hoses). Also how far...

So it turns out the type of weep gun I had was causing the pressure drop whenever the trigger was released. For some reason the Giant brand guns were causing the problem (I tried two brand new ones and both did the same thing). The Kleen Rite brand guns worked much better. Still don’t quite...
