Description
Overview
The MEI Talos T631-D7EUS is a U.S.-currency 110 V AC bill validator built for amusement, kiosk, and legacy vending machines requiring an AC-powered interface. As part of the Crane MEI Talos T6 Series, it replaces the discontinued AE2631-D7EUS and delivers faster note validation, improved security, and simplified maintenance through Crane’s modular Talos design.
This model features the proven VFM-style D-Bezel and a down-stacker configuration, allowing vertical bill storage in standard vending machine doors. Designed for direct 110 V AC input, the T631-D7EUS is the preferred drop-in upgrade for older AE26xx-series validators used in amusement or non-MDB systems.
