Limited Warranty

Platinum Bill Acceptors are warranted for a period of Two (2) Years from the date of the original

invoice.

This warranty extends to the original purchaser of the warranted product and each transferee

owner of the product, during the term of the warranty. During the warranty period, the

manufacturer will repair or replace (at the manufacturer's option) any parts, up to and including

the complete Platinum, which fail to function properly because of defects in material or

workmanship. This warranty does not cover any damage related to water, vandalism, chemical

or liquid spills into the Platinum.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any consequential damage or performance degradation

that results from foreign objects being inserted into the Platinum. The product to be repaired

under warranty must be delivered, and inbound freight prepaid to an authorized service center.

Upon request, the owner must show proof of purchase when submitting equipment for service

during the warranty period. Repair or installation at the owner’s location is not included in the

warranty. During the warranty period, the manufacturer will pay all outbound ground freight

charges to the owner’s location. Special handling or shipping charges must be assumed by the

owner. The manufacturer will not be liable for any consequential damages as a result of defects

in material or workmanship. Any written or implied warranty of this product is strictly limited to

the refund of the cost of goods purchased. Damage due to negligence, accidents, electrical

overload, misuse, abuse, vandalism, or an act of God, is not covered by this warranty. Any

alteration of the product after manufacture voids the warranty in its entirety.

Unpacking the Platinum / Shipping Damage

You should always immediately unpack and inspect to see if the Platinum is damaged; when a

product is returned to the owner after service or as a new purchase, only the consignee (the

person or company receiving the Platinum) can ﬁle a claim against the carrier for concealed

damages. Therefore you should place the Platinum back in its original carton along with the

packing materials. Then notify the carrier of damages and request an immediate inspection of

the package. Send a letter of intent to ﬁle a claim to the carrier within 72 hours from the time of

delivery. Please also send a copy of this letter to the shipper.

Service

For service information, please contact Pyramid Technologies, Inc. for a Service Center near

you. For any items returned under warranty or for repair, complete written information including

the Serial Number and model number as well as a description of the malfunction or defects

must be submitted to the Service Center when requesting a Return Material Authorization

number (RMA number). The Owner accepts full responsibility for any return without prior

authorization. The RMA number must be displayed on the exterior of the returned product

carton(s).

Platinum Conﬁguration and Firmware Changes

Using a PC

This method allows you to change the conﬁguration and perform any currency updates on the

Platinum Bill Acceptor. Once conﬁgured, the unit will remember these settings, even if power is

removed. The Platinum Bill Acceptor does not use Dip Switches or Conﬁguration Cards.

USB Ports

Platinum has two USB ports.

USB Flash Drive Port

This is the standard USB Type-A port on the back of the unit. This USB port is

used to update Platinum’s ﬁrmware or conﬁguration using a ﬂash drive that is

inserted into this port. Note when a USB ﬂash drive is inserted the nearby

diagnostic LEDs are used to understand what operations are happening.

USB Device Port

This is the standard USB Type B port on the back of the unit. This USB

port is typically used as a communication port to connect to the host

machine or game, or Pyramid’s tools program to update or conﬁgure

the bill acceptor.

Diagnostic LEDs Features

The Platinum must have power to show its LED diagnostics. The multicolor LED at the rear of

the unit will ﬂash a certain amount of times should there be an issue. This ﬂash code

corresponds to the errors listed below. If the LED is solid green then the Platinum is functioning

properly and is ready to go.
