TheCandyLady Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Happy Friday Everyone, I’m officially ready to upgrade my machines to have card readers. My game plan is to use MEI 4 in 1 with USA Tech ePort G10-S Telemeters. This is the easiest installation and cost efficient set up I’ve come across. My question is... Are there any additional steps or processes I would have to go through with Crane/CPI if I’m only using their 4 in 1 bezel connected to my Mars Series 2000 bill validator and USA Tech Telemeter? I ask because I’m buying refurbished bezels. Thanks in advance for any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 There are two pieces you need to connect the MEI bezels to the USAT telemeter, an adaptor and a 5 volt power supply. Not expensive and both available from USAT online: https://store.usatech.com/collections/eport-parts-and-products/products/step-down-power-supply-cable-for-eport-g8-and-g9 https://store.usatech.com/collections/eport-parts-and-products/products/serial-connector-cable-for-the-mei-3-in-1-4-in-1-bezel-to-connect-to-step-down-power-supply-for-g8-and-g9-telemeter Remember, the MEI bezels will only fit on the MEI validators. Just replaces the normal bezel, no wiring connection to the validator. If you already have the bezels, try to call USAT before the end of the month, they have a great special running on the telemeter only kits. Or, you can order the telemeters with new MEI bezels, I think the price will include the adaptor and power supply if you do (but be sure to ask!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your response was definitely helpful. I didn’t realize I would need an adapter. Does USAT sell MEI bezels too?? If so I definitely didn’t know that. I was ordering mine from a local vendor.

Southeast Treats Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I don't know if they sell them individually, but you can order them instead of the card swipe with the kits... here's a sales contact with USAT who should be able to help: Stacey P.
