INTRODUCTION

NCR cassettes are portable containers, moulded in high impact polycarbonate, that are designed to store currency
and other media such as postage stamps in the dispenser.
The cassette can be configured to hold currency of different lengths and widths, and to indicate a code for the
denomination it contains.

Currency length range: 120 to 177 mm (4.7 to 7.0 in.) Currency width range: 62 to 85 mm (2.4 to 3.4 in.).
The following variants of cassette are available:

Standard security cassettes: the lid is secured with a latch and an optional seal, such as a cable tie.
Lockable cassettes: the lid is secured with a keylock in addition to the latch.
Tamper indicating cassettes: tracks the number of times that a cassette has been inserted and removed from
the dispenser, to detect unauthorized activity. After six insertions, the cassette is 'locked out' and needs to be
reset. Both standard and lockable cassettes can have the tamper indicator.

Tamper Indicator

The counter on tamper indicating cassettes is initially green, and moves to white on the first insertion of the cassette
into the ATM, then moves to show numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 for subsequent insertions. After six insertions the
cassette will no longer be accepted into the dispenser until the counter has been reset.
Each time the cassette is removed for routine replenishment, the counter should be reset by repeatedly sliding the
stud then releasing it until the indicator shows green.

Home

Cassette Identification Code

Each cassette has a identification code which is read by the ATM software so that regardless of its position in the
dispenser, the cassette can be identified and selected to dispense notes of a specific denomination. The code can be
changed for different currencies and denominations.

To change the cassette identification code, first remove the yellow clip inside the cassette, then take off the cassette
identification casing from the side of the cassette. Remove the indicator wheel from the casing and reposition it so
that the required number is aligned with the window. Refit the casing and secure with the clip.

Cassette Body and Lid Marking

Once the cassette has been configured to a particular currency, it is advisable that the body and lid are visually
identified to avoid a mismatch of bodies and lids configured for different currencies.
There are two recommended methods:

Indelible ink marking: mark the currency denomination on the inside or outside of both the body and lid, using
an indelible ink pen
Color coded labels: assign a different color for each currency denomination and use matching labels on the
body and lid.
Other identification methods may be employed, and can make use of the panels of numbers and letters
moulded into the cassette body and lid.

A: Recessed areas for either marking with indelible ink pens or for adhesive labels
B and C: Numbered panels.

Cleaning

Clean the cassettes with a cloth dampened with water. For stubborn marks and grease try a clean cloth dampened
with isopropyl alcohol. Do not use any other cleaning agents or abrasives.

CASSETTE CONFIGURATION

The internal height and width of the cassette can be configured to fit the dimensions of the currency being used.

https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 4/14

Cassette Height

The internal height of the cassette is adjusted for the width of the notes using combinations of spacers fitted between
the lid and the note guides.

Refer to the table below for the combination of lid spacers required for your currency.
Yellow Highlight is for US Currency.

https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 5/14
11/6/2020 Oracle Knowledge InfoCenter -

To fit the lid spacers:

1. Consult the table for the combination of spacers needed for the width of the currency to be loaded in this
cassette.
https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 6/14
11/6/2020 Oracle Knowledge InfoCenter -

2. Fit the required spacers together starting with the white ones, by stacking one on top of the another then
turning it a quarter turn (90o) clockwise. Repeat until the required stack is built.
3. Place the stack of spacers at each location A, B, C and D on each side of the cassette. Align the stack as
shown, then turn it a quarter turn (90o) clockwise to secure it. Do not turn beyond the stop position at 90o.

5. Place the note guides on top of the stack of spacers and secure with a screw at each location A, B, C and D.

Cassette Width

The internal width of the cassette is adjusted for the length of the notes using the movable 'L' shaped guides which
can be fixed to either side of the cassette. Side spacers are used to brace the guides.

https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 7/14
11/6/2020 Oracle Knowledge InfoCenter -

The note guides are marked A or B and each end has a triangular indicator to line up with a numbered scale on the
cassette floor. Refer to the table below for the correct position of the note guides and the required size of the side
spacers.
Yellow Highlight is for US Currency.

To fit the guides:

1. Remove and retain the screws and washers securing the note guides at the handle end of the cassette.
2. Lift the end of the guide nearest to the cassette handle and slide a guide towards the handle to disengage it,
then lift it out of the cassette. Repeat with the other guide.

https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 8/14
11/6/2020 Oracle Knowledge InfoCenter -

3. Reposition the guides so that the triangular indicators are pointing to the correct numbers according to the
table above. Then press the slides in and slide them away from the handle end of the cassette to engage
them.
Note: The metal clips on the guides must always be at the end of the cassette without the handle.

4. Replace the screws and washers to secure the guides in position.

5. Cut the side spacers to size, according to the table. Use a strong, sharp knife to cut the spacer so that the
required number of segments are left on the spacer. Make sure that the cut edge is flat by removing any jagged cut
edges.

https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 9/14
11/6/2020 Oracle Knowledge InfoCenter -

6. Fit the side spacers to brace the note guide on each side of the cassette: one in the slot in the center of the
note guide and one in the slot near the rear of the cassette (opposite end to the handle). The side of the spacer with
the numbered segments should be against the guide.

REPLENISHING CASSETTES

Preparing Currency

Good currency preparation will enhance the performance of the currency dispenser.
Before loading the currency into a cassette it must be prepared correctly as follows:

Remove the bands or other packaging from the bunches of notes.

https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 10/14
11/6/2020 Oracle Knowledge InfoCenter -

While separating out, the currency should be checked for obvious defects such as:
Adhesive tape on the surface of the currency
Staples, pins or any foreign matter attached to the currency
Torn or limp notes with pin holes
Two or more notes stuck to each other
Corner folds (straighten as required) Folded notes.

Loading the Cassette

1. Remove the seal (if fitted) from the cassette latch. Or unlock the cassette (lockable variant only).
2. Press down on the lower latch tab and pull the bottom of the latch off the tab. Then lift the latch up and off the
top tab.

3. Remove the lid from the cassette.

4. Press down in the green cup while sliding the pusher to the handle end of the cassette.

https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 11/14

5. Remove any remaining currency and balance the transaction in accordance with your in‐house procedures.

6. To help re‐load notes neatly, rest the cassette on the handle end and support it at an angle, leaning against a
wall for example. This stops the note stack falling over while it is being built in the cassette.

7. Separate the currency, which has been prepared as described at the start of this section, into bundles of
approximately 100 notes.

8. Align the first bundle of notes by tapping it on both the long and short edges. Then place it at the bottom of the
cassette.

9. Continue to align and stack the bundles in the cassette, alternating the orientation of the bundles.

10. Push down in the green cup to release it. The pusher may move the note stack a short distance until it is
pushed against the end of the cassette.

11. Insert the tabs on the lid into the slots in the cassette then close the lid.

12. Hook the top of the latch over the top tab then press the bottom of the latch onto the lower tab.

https://m.ncr.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=S:IS8165&pmv=print&impressions=false&viewlocale=en_US 13/14
