I have an HTK with an XE validator. It is specific to the HTK and has two plug-ins on the back. One of them is not the easiest thing to plug in if you have the validator out and in your hand and nearly impossible to connect if the validator is mounted. The harness is so short that the validator needs to be in it's mounted position for it to reach. The harness can be unplugged from the cabinet and attatched to the validator before installation to make it a little easier, but not much. If it were 6" longer it would be no issue at all. My frustration stems from numerous fumbling attempts to get the validator re-installed after a jam or whatever. Just this Sunday I had to leave home because my attendant couldn't get it plugged back in after clearing a jam, only to get there and show him the magic combination to get this thing back in place. There is tons of room in there for the harness to have some extra length and slack and a longer harness or an extension could be made for just a few bucks.
I complained about it to someone at Hamilton and got an answer that pretty much said, "Yeah, we know it's a little short and can be a pain, but we ain't gonna do anything about it." Anyone else share my frustration on this?
