    It also describes the functionality of the new NV5 validator fitted with Firmware Version 3.02. Please note that the NV4 Validator is pin for pin compatible with the NV2/3 Smiley® Validator at first glance. However it requires a higher peak operating current than the NV2/3.

    If the unit is re-taught pay particular attention to the instructions. Good teaching is essential to ensure satisfactory operation. If the tops and bottoms of NV4 Validators are swapped the unit must be re-calibrated. In the unlikely event of a problem it is better to have the complete unit checked.

  • Page 6: General Description

    The NV4 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 NV4 to NV4 currency copy system or the PC based Currency Management software.
  • Page 7 Cloning: It is possible to clone Issue 1 and 2 NV4's to become NV5's but it is not possible to reverse the operation. Apart from the differences mentioned above the NV4 and NV5 functionality is the same. Therefore the rest of this manual applies to both products except where stated.
  • Page 8 General Description Display Information The four red LED’s on the top of the unit are used to provide a variety of status signals: Firmware revision code From software revision 2.50 onwards, when the validator is first switched on, the LED’s are used to signal the 3 digit firmware revision number in sequence using a binary coding.

  • Page 9: Note Validated As Known Fraud

    General Description Validation / reject codes (as from firmware version 2.6.2) When a note is accepted, while the unit is in parallel or pulse mode, a code is presented on the LED's representing the channel in which it was accepted. If the "enable reject code" option is set then, during note validation the heartbeat will be suspended and should the note be rejected then a code is flashed twice representing the reason for rejection, prior to the heartbeat returning.

    Escrow Control: The NV4 has a single note escrow facility. This allows the Validator to hold onto the note once accepted, and then only pass the note out of the back of the Validator when the host machine confirms that the Vend operation has been completed.
  • Page 15 If all four inhibits are high simultaneously then the NV4 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.

  • Page 19 Refer to the special menu option setting to use this feature. If the NV4 is set to 15 channel mode it will issue the vend signals as a binary pattern on the parallel outputs for 100 milliseconds. In this way a maximum of 15 different notes can be accepted and controlled.

    Requirements NV4 whose board issue number (x.00) must be the same as the slave you wish to copy to. Typically issue 1 units can only be re-programmed by another issue 1 unit. The same applies for issue 2 units. The slave firmware issue can be the same or a lower level of firmware than the Master, but if it is a higher version of firmware in the Slave, it will not accept the data from the lower level Master unit.
  • Page 21  The Master and Slave NV4s are connected together using the NV4 copy cable as above.  On the 15 pin connector on the Master NV4, pins 15 and 14 are held low and +12v input is connected to pin 11 and 0v to pin 12.

  • Page 24 Refer to the section below on the Special Menu Features on how to set the Code Lock, and how to enter the Code Lock if required. (refer to page. 29) If a code lock is set, when the NV4 is switched to Teach, LED 1 will be lit.
  • Page 25 Occasionally the NV4 will not accept one of the first notes because it looks too different from the others e.g. the first old note. Put the note to the bottom of the pile and try again later. If the NV4 continues to reject all the old notes, it is best to teach these as a separate face.
  • Page 26 While teach notes are being inserted the NV4 performs a very elementary test to look for operator errors. The NV4 checks the length of the notes and also does a crude test to see if subsequent notes are similar to the first teach note that was inserted.
  • Page 27 Security Levels The NV4 has three security level options. The security levels affect the severity of note testing and may be independently set for each of the channels. The higher the level of security the more closely the validation is examined.

  • Page 28: Special Menu Features

    If a code lock is set, when the NV4 is switched to Teach, LED 1 will be lit. Otherwise none of the LED’s will be lit. (Refer to Figure 13) The code lock must be entered, as described below, before a menu selection can be made.

This space should be sufficient to accommodate the longest note that the validator will see plus 25mm. 5. Cashbox designs should comply with the details shown in Drawings GA123 for the NV4 and GA146 for the NV5.

  • Page 34: Calibration And Routine Maintenance

    Calibration: The NV4 has an in-built calibration system. To re-calibrate an NV4 the unit must first be powered OFF and fitted to its front bezel. It must also be removed from any stacker it is fitted to. Now insert a piece of white paper into the curved entrance until it hits the drive wheels (letter quality, ideally 100 gram, white matt linen - approximately 150mm x 80mm.
