Which cash handling scenarios benefit most from the ICT XBA bill validator?
The ICT XBA bill validator is designed for locations where cash revenue must be processed quickly, securely and in an auditable way. Advanced optical and mechanical protection helps detect fraudulent attempts, while the wide note insertion angle makes everyday use more convenient for end users. The 400-note stacker is a good fit whenever you want to optimise service intervals and avoid frequent cash collection visits during busy periods.
If you work as a system integrator or operator, you need a validator that behaves as a stable platform over many years. The MDB interface, the available firmware update options and the automatic calibration functions simplify integration, later updates and troubleshooting. This lets you connect the cash handling point reliably to your existing controllers and monitoring systems.
What selection criteria should you consider for the ICT XBA bill validator?
- your expected daily, weekly or monthly cash volume for each machine,
- which denominations must be accepted and how critical an acceptance rate above 98 percent is,
- whether you require mdb communication because of existing controllers and back-end systems,
- how well the 400-note stacker capacity matches your planned collection schedule,
- whether convenient usb and irda firmware updates are important for future software changes,
- what level of protection you need against strong ambient light and attempted fraud,
- whether the 3/4v supply range fits your current electronics,
- how the validator integrates into your overall cash logistics, audit and reconciliation processes.
Quality, support, maintenance and financing in cash handling systems
A bill validator typically operates throughout the full lifetime of a machine, so your decision should also cover quality, support, maintenance and financing aspects. By addressing these topics early in the project, you reduce the risk of unplanned downtime and make your operating costs more predictable.
- quality and local technical support: access to specialists who assist with product selection, integration, commissioning and troubleshooting,
- service and regular maintenance: defined cleaning and inspection routines, timely replacement of wear parts and planned firmware updates,
- proper operating conditions: stable power supply, adequate ventilation, protected note paths and respect for temperature and humidity limits,
- stock and scheduled deliveries: spare validators, stackers and accessories held in stock with deliveries aligned to project schedules,
- flexible shipping, customs and forwarding options: logistics tailored to site access restrictions and installation windows,
- flexible payment terms: post-payment options, invoicing in foreign currencies, framework agreements and staged deliveries,
- project-specific offers: pricing, service bundles and support levels tailored to your volumes, timelines and configuration.

FAQ – questions about ICT XBA bill validators
What are the advantages of a wide note insertion angle?
A wide note insertion angle makes it easier for users to feed notes correctly, which leads to smoother transactions and fewer insertion errors at the machine.
Why is multi-colour optical sensing useful in a bill validator?
Multi-colour optical sensing captures more detailed information about each note, improving counterfeit detection and reducing the likelihood of rejecting genuine currency.
How does auto-calibration help in everyday operation?
Auto-calibration keeps the sensor performance stable over time and compensates for environmental changes, which reduces the need for manual adjustments and service calls.
When is a 400-note stacker the right capacity?
A 400-note stacker is a good choice for medium to high cash volumes where you want to reduce the frequency of cash collection visits and keep machines available for longer.
