MCBJ (Mean Cycles Between Jams)
20'000 cycles within the BNR Advance
system.
TM
4-21

One cycle = Transfer of a Banknote from a
slot or a storage unit to another storage unit
or a slot.

One standard transaction includes in
average 2 Banknotes in and 2 Banknotes out
(4 cycles).

Specification is typical field performance,
individual locations may be worse, based on
condition of currency and environmental
factors.

Specification is typical field performance,
with Banknotes free of defects as listed in
section 5.2, individual locations may be
worse, based on condition of currency and
environmental factors.

Excludes notes not able to be dispensed
from the loader (“pick failures”).

Excludes Banknote stops/jams that are
caused directly or indirectly by the host
machine (integration).

Non customer clearable (NCC) jam rate is
80’000 cycles between jams. A jam that is
customer clearable is defined as a jam that
can be cleared by on-site personnel without
the use of tools. Access to the jam is
possible via one of the access doors in the
main module or spine, or by removing the
cash-box or loader module. All other jams
are not customer clearable.
MCBF (Technical)
(Mean Cycles Between technical Failures)
Outdoor: 590’000 cycles, first occurence
TM
All models BNR Advance BNR2 - BNR3 BNR4
Failure Rate requiring repair (excluding Banknote
jams)
Estimated
Less than 3% of the units faulty in their first year
of life.
Excludes failures caused by damage, misuse,
vandalism, environmental conditions outside of
specifications, liquid ingress from host machine,
failure to clean and maintain in accordance with
specifications, and/or any type of third party
affect, not limited to malicious interference.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Specifications achieved under normal working conditions and assuming all
recommended preventive maintenance is undertaken.
