Title: wba-13-ss bill validator worked fine now rejects bills
Post by: topgun911 on September 17, 2018, 06:39:52 AM

anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated
thank you in advance!!


i have a wms bb1 with a wba -13-ss bill validator that has been working fine for a year or more
now any bill i put in it takes it completely in but then spitsit right back out.
i took it out of machine and cleaned the sensors and magnets inside the head and also cleaned the belts.
put all back in and i did get it to take 4-$20 bills in a row but that was it now it spits them out again and the lights are green on the front yellow bezel.
any suggestions?
or do i need a new head or carrier or both
thanks

Try reseating the cash can.

Is your Bezel lit ?
If so its ready to accept bills. If not then I would be looking at the cash can, belly door and other (optic ??) sensors that would inhibit bill operation.

Failing that.....
If you go to HAPP, you can buy a cleaning card and a calibration card.
The cleaning cards probably won't do much more than what you have already done by taking the unit apart - typically a casino would use these first and if that fails they would replace the head and take it apart for a more in-depth cleaning or perhaps swap it with the manufacturer.

I believe the Calibration card is read and aligns the head. This seems more likely. You might also check the tension on your belts.

thank you all for your help its much appreciated!!


i just got back from my friends and he also has pretty much the same bb1 and bill validator.
i put his in transport and all and his sensor head and it worked fine.


so process of elimination by swapping sensor heads and transports i figured out that my sensor head is good but the transport is bad i guess.
so at this point i guess i will need to purchase a new transport unless anybody has any ideas on fixing mine?
