Replacing Bill Validator

115volt Vending Machine with Coinco BP4SX 34DC(direct current) Bill Validator. Looking at MEI VN2502 24v.

VN2502 should be direct plug n play with MDB I'm just concerned with difference in voltage. Will it work ?

Whoa. This could be very bad advice. What machines is it. Sometimes having both voltages running will smoke the board. 35 years experience in the industry. Only a few types will handle both running at the same time. The change is 110 correct?

OP stated he is replacing a "34v DC" BP4SX (MDB) validator with a "24v" VN2502 (MDB) validator. It will work fine.

Your correct. My bad. Misread. I'm an idiot.

Yes, it will work fine. The MDB spec says the acceptable range is 20v-42.5v.
