Cross-reference
This model is configured as a direct replacement for the AE2612-U3EUS. Its T6 platform, VFM bezel, Up-Stacker arrangement, and 300-note cassette maintain the key configuration required by compatible installations.
Compatible platforms
The T612-U3EUS fits vending, kiosk, amusement, and other equipment using the specified VFM front-mount opening and MDB power/interface arrangement. It is intended for medium-traffic U.S. currency applications where four-way bill acceptance and compact service access are required.
Integration notes
The unit accepts U.S. $1–$20 notes but does not accept $50 or $100 bills. Installations requiring those higher denominations should use a T8-series model. Confirm the host controller supports the MDB protocol and the supplied 12-pulse parallel harness before installation. The cassette releases without tools, while firmware can be maintained with USB or a compatible handheld programmer.
