NV11 bill acceptor and note float

NV11 banknote acceptor and single-denomination note recycler for self-service machines

The NV11 banknote acceptor and recycler is a compact, high-reliability cash-handling unit that combines an NV9-based banknote validator with the Note Float single-denomination note recycling module. With a 30-note recycler capacity and a 300-note cashbox, it provides an ideal solution wherever secure banknote acceptance and automated change payout are required in unattended kiosks, ticketing systems, parking pay stations, vending machines and gaming devices.

Key features and operating principle

• In the NV11, note acceptance and payout are integrated into a single device, so the same unit accepts, validates and stores banknotes and can then recycle the chosen denomination to pay out change to the customer.
• The single-denomination Note Float recycler holds up to 30 notes of the selected denomination, ensuring that the most frequently used note is available for payouts and reducing the risk of coin starvation.
• A standard 300-note cashbox provides generous storage capacity and can be upgraded to larger options for higher-volume applications, allowing the system to be scaled to the requirements of the installation.
• Notes are accepted, validated and stored in less than three seconds, keeping transaction times short and providing a smooth user experience even in busy locations.

Technical data and connectivity

• Power supply: 12 V DC with ±10% tolerance and low energy consumption, typically around 0.35 A in standby and 3–3.5 A under peak load conditions.
• Dimensions: the combined unit measures approximately 104 × 246 × 229 mm with a weight of around 2.2–2.5 kg, making it easy to integrate into compact kiosk cabinets and retrofit applications.
• Supported banknote sizes generally range from 60–82 mm in width and 115–150 mm in length, enabling the NV11 to handle the most common denominations of a wide variety of currencies.
• Communication: USB interface with support for encrypted eSSP and ccTalk protocols, and MDB support in some configurations, which simplifies integration with a wide range of host controllers.
• Manufacturer configuration and diagnostic tools allow firmware and currency sets to be updated quickly over USB, keeping the unit future-proof as payment requirements evolve.

Typical applications

• Kiosks and information terminals: parking payment kiosks, queue-management and customer service terminals where users need to pay with banknotes and receive change in notes.
• Ticketing and public transport: unattended rail, bus and metro ticket machines that rely on secure note validation and fast change payouts.
• Gaming and amusement machines: casino and arcade environments where the NV11 helps minimise downtime caused by cash-handling issues while securely processing large numbers of banknotes.
• Vending, laundry and car-wash systems: by recycling notes as change, the NV11 reduces the reliance on coin floats and simplifies routine cash handling.

Operational benefits

• The combination of a 30-note recycler and a 300-note cashbox significantly reduces downtime due to lack of change, increasing overall machine availability and revenue.
• Encrypted communication and advanced note validation electronics provide a high level of protection against counterfeit and fraudulent notes, which is especially important in unattended environments.
• Proven reliability and a high mean time between failures help to keep service costs low, while the modular design makes cleaning and maintenance straightforward.
• A choice of bezel and illumination options allows the NV11 to blend neatly into the machine front panel and clearly indicate the note entry point to users.

Installation and maintenance

• The NV11 is primarily designed for horizontal mounting, with 82 mm standard bezel formats that match common kiosk cut-outs and simplify mechanical design and retrofitting.
• Easy access to the note path makes cleaning and preventative maintenance quick, helping to maintain high acceptance rates and minimise out-of-service time.
• Factory-loaded currency profiles enable rapid commissioning, while configuration tools support simple adjustments and updates during the life of the machine.

FAQ – NV11 banknote acceptor and recycler

• What is the note capacity of the NV11?
  
  The NV11 uses a single-denomination Note Float recycler that can store up to 30 notes of the selected denomination, together with a standard 300-note cashbox, with higher-capacity options available for larger installations.
• For which types of machines is the NV11 recommended?
  
  The NV11 is ideal for ticketing, parking, vending and gaming machines, as well as other self-service terminals where banknote payment and automated change payout are required.
• How does the NV11 connect to the host controller?
  
  The unit communicates via a USB interface using encrypted eSSP or ccTalk protocols, with MDB support in some versions, making it compatible with a wide range of controllers and payment systems.
• Is installation and configuration complicated?
  
  Using the manufacturer’s configuration software, the NV11 can be installed and configured quickly, and firmware and currency files can be updated over USB with minimal downtime.
• How does the NV11 help reduce operating costs?
  
  By recycling banknotes as change, the NV11 reduces the amount of coins that need to be kept in the machine, cuts the number of refill and collection visits and helps machines stay available for revenue-generating operation.
