Warranty
All Talos bill acceptors come with a Two Year Manufacturer's Warranty. After inspecting the
unit, record the model and serial numbers from the label on the side of the bill acceptor.
Refer to these numbers when you call CPI for service. The manufacturer's warranty is based
upon the date of manufacture.
Parts and labor are included for In-Warranty repairs.
The first three digits of the serial number contain the manufacturing date code. This code
indicates the beginning of the warranty period. The first two digits indicate the week of
manufacture; the third digit indicates the year of manufacture. For example: a bill acceptor

INSTALLATION
Please note that a single page installation guide for the Talos can also be found on our
website.
Unpacking the Bill Acceptor
Unpack the bill acceptor and immediately inspect it for damage. If the unit is damaged,
return it to its original carton along with packing materials.
Notify the delivering carrier of damages and request immediate inspection. Send a letter of
intent to file a claim to the delivering carrier within 72 hours from the time of delivery. Send a
copy of the letter to the shipper.
Only the person or company receiving the bill acceptor can file a claim against the carrier for
concealed damages. Keep the original packing materials for shipping or transporting the bill
acceptor.
Mounting
The Talos mounts easily onto existing studs provided by Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs).
Some vending machines require brackets or faceplates to mount the unit properly. Refer to
the vending machine’s operation manual or contact your distributor/OEM for more model-
specific mounting information.
1. Turn off power to the vending machine.
2. Mount the Talos bill validator on the mounting studs, through the opening in the front
of the vendor and secure using the included hardware.
3. Connect the Talos bill validator to the MDB harness. Apply gentle pressure to
connect; the pins will bend if forced.
4. Turn on power to the vending machine.
5. Check the LEDs on the front of Talos. The LEDs should be flashing. In some cases,
the machine door must be closed first.
6. Once the LEDs are flashing, test the validator with a $1 bill.
a. Insert $1 and confirm that it stacks and credit is given.
b. Repeat this process for any other enabled bills.
7. When your test is complete, remove the test bills from the bill magazine.
