  • Page 18: Return Lever And Return Button

    esign Return lever and return button You activate the return lever [Fig. 1/2] at the top of the devices using the return button on the machine if you want the machine to return coins or to remove a jam caused by coins that have got stuck, for example. Actuation of the return lever opens the measurement and validation area of the coin validator so that all objects in the coin validator are directed to the return area. Devices with front entry via a front plate do not have a return lever. With these devices, you open the measuring and validation area by pressing the return button [Fig. 2/2] on the front plate. Interfaces For more information on the machine and sorting interface, [Fig.
  • Page 19: Function

    uncTion Function This chapter describes how the coin validator works: • Coin acceptance and coin channels • Single or double block data-management • Accepted coin sensor • String recognition • Control for external sorting device • Coin inhibition/activation of narrow coin channels • Teach mode Coin acceptance and coin channels For coin acceptance the coin validator has 32 "memory blocks"...
  • Page 20: Quick Coin Acceptance In Casino Mode

    uncTion 5.1.1 Quick coin acceptance in Casino mode If you are using the v colibri in gaming machines, the device can be switched to Casino mode so that inserted coins can be accepted faster (up to six coins per second instead of two per second) (cf. Chap. 7.4 Activating Casino mode, p. 34) Single or double block data-management At the factory, the device is programmed on a customer‑specific basis whether the 32 coin channels of the coin validator are managed in one memory block or, divided up into 16 channels each, in two memory blocks (double block data‑management).
  • Page 21: Control For External Sorting Device

    uncTion Control for external sorting device To route the accepted coins either to the cash‑box or to change tubes or hoppers, for example, you can fit the coin validator with the NRI s SSD-3000 3-fold sorter or another sorting device. 5.5.1 Sorting principle The sorting gates are controlled by two sorting lines on pins 3 and 4 of the 10-pin connector [Fig. 1/8]/[Fig. 2/8] on the back of the device. You set which coin is to be sorted on which sorting line by means of the machine's controller.
  • Page 22: Coin Inhibition/Activation Of Narrow Coin Channels

    uncTion With all four versions of the 3‑fold sorter, you can distribute the individual coin types to the three sorting chutes regardless of the coins' dimensions. Each chute can be defined as a cash‑ box chute. The following table lists the sorting line and ccTalk sorter path that must be addressed for sorting to be carried out into a specific sorting chute: Sorting chute Sorting line ccTalk sorter path LEFT...
  • Page 23: Inhibiting All Coins/Individual Coin Channels Via Machine Control System

    uncTion 5.6.1 Inhibiting all coins/individual coin channels via machine control system The control system can • inhibit coin acceptance completely. In this case the coin validator does not accept any coins. • inhibit all coin channels of a certain coin, e.g. if there is no more change in an external payout unit or in case of high fraud hazard. • inhibit the normal coin channel of a certain coin so that this coin is accepted only in the narrow channel.
  • Page 24: Start-Up

    TaRT Start-up This chapter describes how you • start up the v colibri in a machine • mount the NRI 3-fold sorter s SSD-3000 When carrying out any assembly and installation work on the coin vali- dator and machine, always observe the following safety instructions: • The coin validator must only be connected by a trained electrician.
  • Page 25: Mounting The 3-Fold Sorter S

    TaRT Mounting the 3-fold sorter s SSD-3000 ... If you want to operate the v colibri with the s SSD‑3000 sorter, you mount it on the top or front entry version using a special bracket: 6.2.1 ... on the v colibri top entry version There are three different versions of the NRI 3-fold sorter for the top entry version of the v colibri depending on the machine environment.

    peRaTion Operation This chapter describes how to operate the coin validator, i. e. set certain functions on the coin validator: • Selecting a memory block • Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel • Teaching coin channels in teach mode • Selecting Casino mode The settings which are made directly on the coin validator are described. To find out how to make the settings using the WinEMP PC configuration software, refer to the separate guide (cf. Chap. 9 What can be set later?, p. 37) The exact function of the settable device options is described in Chap.
  • Page 29: Inhibiting Coins/Activating Narrow Coin Channel

    peRaTion Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel ... Using the two switch blocks on the coin validator, you can individually inhibit on site each of the 16 coin channels of the activated memory block or each of the coin types assigned to specific coin channels, i.e. these inhibited coin channels are no longer used for payment on the machine. • Accept coin without limitation: All the assigned coin channels are enabled • Limit acceptance band: Normal coin channel is inhibited • Inhibit coin: All the assigned coin channels are inhibited The 16 DIL switches inhibit the following coin channels: 7.2.1 Inhibit switch functions –...
  • Page 30 peRaTion If all coins are to be accepted for payment on the machine, DIL switches S1.1‑8 and S2.1‑8 on both switch blocks are in the bottom position (set to OFF). If you want to inhibit a coin channel, you only need to set the associated DIL switch upwards to ON. Example The coin validator is not to use coin channels 3 and 10 for acceptance any more so that coin channels 3 and 10 must be inhibited.
  • Page 31: Teaching Coin Channels In Teach Mode

    peRaTion Teaching coin channels in teach mode ... (not for ACMI version) You can assign a token or a new coin to a coin channel either using the switch blocks on the coin validator or by means of ccTalk commands and a service menu of the machine. 7.3.1 ... using the switch block on the coin validator To generate new acceptance bands, you can teach up to eight coin channels (teach channels) by means of the bottom switch block on the coin validator.
  • Page 32 peRaTion To assign a coin type/token to coin channel 9‑16 or 25‑32, proceed as follows: If you use the bottom switch block to inhibit individual coins, make a note of the current switch settings so that you can restore them afterwards for normal operating mode. Unhook the coin validator from the machine. Set DIL switches S2.1-10 downwards to OFF. Set DIL switch S2.9 upwards to ON.
  • Page 33: Using Cctalk Commands/Machine Service Menu

    peRaTion To save with the wide acceptance band: Set an additional DIL switch, S2.10, upwards to ON. The acceptance band has been widened. Only now set DIL switch S2.9 back downwards (to OFF). The system indicates successful saving with a single actuation of the acceptance gate and an error at saving with a double actuation (a brief clicking noise in each case) if the acceptance band of the inserted coins and that of an already programmed coin channel overlap or the generated measured values are too different and the tolerances...
  • Page 34: Activating Casino Mode

    peRaTion Activating Casino mode If you want to operate the v colibri in Casino mode, you can change the operating mode by simply resetting the top switch block: Set DIL switch S1.9 upwards to ON. The device now operates in Casino mode with fast coin acceptance of five to six coins per second. Tripping time of the acceptance gate In Casino mode, the v colibri cannot use the accepted coin sensor in favour of fast coin acceptance...
