Compatibility Notes
The BA32L’s dual-interface design and standard Mars 9-pin / 18-pin connectors make it a practical drop-in or near drop-in replacement for many 24V Mars/MEI validators in snack, food, coffee, and select drink machines. Verify harness and mounting fit for your specific machine.
Note: These units are refurbished (cleaned, rebuilt with new belts, and calibrated). Comes with a one year warranty
This is a solid, field-proven bill validator for operators who need reliable performance and dual-interface flexibility without the higher cost of multi-denomination models.
