This manual describes the operation of the NV7 Bank note Validator as fitted with Firmware Version 1-00 Please note that the NV7 Validator is NOT pin for pin compatible with the NV2/3/4/4X or 5 series products We recommend that you study this manual as there are many new features permitting new uses and more secure applications.

Do not attempt to lubricate the mechanisms as this may affect the note transport. Do not polish the lens as this may alter the optical characteristics. If the NV7 Validator is disassembled the unit must be re-calibrated. In the unlikely event of a problem it is better to have the complete unit checked.
The NV7 Validator leaves the factory containing at least one currency data set so that it is ready for immediate installation. If it is desired to change the currency data set this may be done using either the NV7 to NV7 currency cloning system or the PC based Currency Management software.
The red status is used to indicate system problems – these are described below Slow flashing green In normal RUN operation, when the NV7 is ready to read a note, the green led Heartbeat (slow = status led will flash slowly ("Heartbeat") to signal a “healthy” status.

30 second time-out. For channels above 4, taking all the inhibits high will cause a note reject. In the event of a note being forcibly removed from the mouth of the NV7 during the 30 second interval, the NV7 will go out of service for 45 seconds.

If all four inhibits are high simultaneously then the NV7 will not read in any notes. In this mode, if a note is inserted the motor will run in reverse preventing the insertion of a note. All four inhibits may be connected together to create a 'global' inhibit.

2 .NV7 - NV7 Copy (Cloning) Overview The facility exists for using an NV7 Bank Note Validator to copy its programme and settings to another NV7 The ‘Master’ validator will transmit the currency data and upgrade the slave’s firmware if necessary.

NV7 – NV7 copy process. Connect NV7 master to slave using copy adaptor and apply power Master unit will flash RED and GREEN LED if the connector is configured correctly. RED and GREEN on master flash together – attempting to communicate with slave.
Mechanical Installation The NV7 validator can be supplied with either the Horizontal Bezel (PM314 & PM315) or the Vertical bezel (PM306 & PM305). Changing or removing the bezels: Push both of the locking arms so that they disengage from the bezel sides. The bezel may then be unhooked from the 6 locating points.
Cleaning: Slide the red catch on the end of the NV7 Validator to open the note path. The note path and lozenge may now be exposed for cleaning. Wipe the surfaces with a soft lint free cloth that has been dampened with a water and detergent solution (such as a household washing up liquid) NEVER use a solvent based cleaner such as alcohol, petrol, methylated spirits, white spirit, or PCB cleaner.
