The MagPro requires turning on the #6 switch on the circuit board. The BillPro can be programmed using the anti-cheat levers (see the service manual). The Vantage can be programmed using the service mode switch (see the service manual).

Your bill acceptor is most likely older than 2005 when the software was installed because the new $5 bill did not come out until 2005. Any unit built after the 39th week in 2003 can have a software upgrade to take the new $5. The exception would be if you have an older unit that has been worked on by Coin Acceptors may have an upgraded board..

The older bill acceptors may not be programmed for the new bill. When the acceptors were manufactured, the new bills were not in circulation yet so were not tuned for them. Most of the older bill acceptors can be updated by downloading new software. Please contact your nearest Coin Acceptors Service Center for details.

This allows the Bill Acceptors to be removed from your machine. With your machine turned off, disconnect the power harness to the Bill Acceptor. If you find yourself taking something apart on the Bill Acceptor, you are doing something wrong. After removing the Bill Acceptor from your machine, it should weigh about 3-5 lbs, depending on the model. Again, you only need to unplug the harness and should not have to disassemble anything.
