ASSETTE
function provides a means of overriding the un-
locking mechanism associated with a specific cassette. It is only to be used
immediately after failure of a normal cassette unlock operation.
Occasionally, a condition may occur that prevents a cassette from being re-
moved from the dispensing mechanism. For example, a note that is lodged or
jammed in a cassettes’s ‘gate’ could cause such a condition. The gate is a
mechanical shutter on the feed end of a cassette which lowers to allow notes to
be dispensed and raises as a security precaution when the cassette is removed.
During a normal unlocking operation when the gate is closed, the cassette
releases an associated mechanical latch allowing the cassette to be removed
from the body of the dispenser. If the gate does not fully close, the cassette will
not release the latch and remains locked in the mechanism.
If you find that a particular cassette can not be removed after performing a
normal unlock operation, use this function first to attempt releasing the appli-
cable cassette from the mechanism.
Once the cassette has been removed from the dispenser, carefully remove any
notes that are sticking out of cassette. Insert the cassette into the dispenser
and perform a normal ‘Lock’ operation followed by a normal ‘Unlock’ operation.
You may now remove the cassette.
