B GLOSSARY
A
1 Anti-stringing Mechanism –a mechanism (optical, mechanical, or a combination of both) 
designed to prevent the unauthorized retrieving of Banknotes 
from a Cash Box… See Page 1-6
B
2 Bezel – a removable Plastic Assembly attached to the front of the Banknote Insertion Slot 
on a VEGA Unit. It features a rectangular shaped access opening (slot) for easy 
insertion and retrieval of Banknotes. Bezels are available in different shapes and 
sizes in order to accommodate Banknotes of different widths and different stacking 
configurations… See Page 1-4
C
3 Calibration – a process performed on electronic equipment which ensures that all circuits 
are properly aligned and operating at optimum levels. For VEGA, calibration 
is accomplished using a software based program which checks and sets the 
operational reference levels for Intake Sensors, Validation Sensors, and Edge 
Sensors. This helps to ensure that the Unit operates with the highest Banknote 
acceptance rate possible. Calibration is recommended whenever the CPU 
Board, or one of the Sensor Boards are replaced… See Page 6-1
4 ccTalk – a Serial based Communications Protocol commonly used in control, electronic 
payment, and vending systems. Developed by Money Controls Ltd., the format 
enjoys widespread use throughout Europe. ccTalk is a supported communications 
format in the VEGA Unit… See Page 6-12
5 Claw Hooks – specially molded tensioned Plastic Clips used to protect and retain the left 
and right side Cable Harnesses on the Upper Assembly Section of the VEGA 
Unit… See Page 4-1
6 Course Path Reversing Guide – a moveable guide located at the rear Section of the Banknote 
Transport Path in a VEGA Unit which allows Banknotes 
to be directed down to the VEGA Cash Box, up to the 
optional VEGA RC Recycler, or back to the customer as 
part of change-returning or recycling operations. 
The removable Course Path Reversing Guide Cover 
contains optical Lenses which help the VEGA Unit 
determine if any Banknotes or debris are stuck in the 
transport area path… See Page 1-4
7 CRC Checksum – a numerical value assigned to a data file or block of data (usually 
expressed in hexadecimal notation). Checksum values are used to verify 
that the contents of a data file are not corrupted in any way during trans-
mission or encryption. The Checksum values of both the original and 
duplicate files are compared to each other. If the values match, then the 
duplicate file is considered to be acceptable. In instances where the 

Appendix B VEGA™ Series BankNote Validator E
Checksum values DO NOT match, it is recommended that file be copied 

or encrypted again until the Checksums do agree. CRC Checksum 
algorithms use a mathematical polynomial division technique, which 
is highly accurate and can detect data errors down to a single computer 
datum bit… See Page 6-3
E
8 EEPROM – an acronym for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. 
A form of non-volatile Read Only Memory (ROM) which can be both written 
to, and erased via, electronic signals without the need to physically remove the 
IC from the Circuit Board on which it is installed. EEPROMS are often used to 
store system command instructions and reference data sets that are accessed on 
a frequent basis or when the equipment is first initialized… See Page 6-9
9 Encryption Code – with respect to the VEGA Banknote Validator, encryption coding is used 
with the cc-Talk Communications Protocol to enhance security of its 
