The ICT XBA is a multi-protocol validator built for kiosks, ticketing, and self-service terminals, and it comes in two physical sizes: the full-size XBA and the shorter XBA Mini, listed as XBAm. Both support MDB and pulse along with ICT104U, which makes them a flexible choice when one machine platform has to be deployed across different host controllers.
Full-size XBA builds include 34V MDB units with pulse and ICT104U support, a 12V pulse standard bezel build, and a 110V configuration bundled with the GP58VE thermal printer and NISR for ticketing and voucher applications — all with 400 note stackers. XBA Mini builds cover 34V MDB and 12V MDB with pulse, ICT104U, ICT104V, and JPSTD, in 100 and 400 note capacities. Currency coverage across the line includes US dollar, dual US and Canadian dollar, Costa Rican colón, Uruguayan peso, Russian ruble, and Israeli new shekel.
The two sizes take different calibration cards, so order the one that matches your unit: the XBA Series calibration card for full-size units and the XBAmini card for the Mini. Both are on this page.

- Can the XBA drive a printer? Yes — the XBA-54CN2US6 ships with a GP58VE printer and NISR for ticketing.
- Which protocols are supported? MDB and pulse, plus ICT104U, ICT104V, ICT002U, JPSTD, and NISR depending on the build.
