I have several of the Mars Bill acceptors you are referring to in my
route machines.
These units were originally intended for Vending Machines (thus the VN
in the name of the unit you are referring too).
Look at the back of the unit while it's plugged in and turne on.
Down near the bottom where the bill goes up into the stacker there is
a small red LED. It should be lit SOLID if the unit is working
correctly. If there are any problems, it will blink however many times
for the error. On the back of the bill stacker there should be a label
displaying how many blinks = error.
If something is jammed in the bill acceptor where the bills go in from
the front this will also cause it not to work.
The bill reader optics are easily removable from the back.
From the backside, near the red LED light I mentioned above. There is
a small horizontal metal bar on the back of the unit. Very carefully
pull up on the small bar and pull it out. This is how you clear jams.
Good luck,
Craig

Post by Lloyd OlsonIf you don't have a manual, call Mars. The newer 2400 series upstackers have
the settings on the side. No idea on 2500 series.
Does it take the dollar and give no credit ? LTG :)
Post by meestahbigokay. I got the cable adapter and was able to "plug it in" to the
stern machine... when I plugged it in, it made some noises and the
belts moved, but when I try to put a dollar in it does nothing at all.
any ideas? any ideas on how to setup the dip switches?
