bouT About ... This chapter is intended to provide a general overview of the advantages and options of the coin validator v eagle with parallel BDTA interface. The first section, however, is designed to help you navigate easily within these operating instructions. About these operating instructions These operating instructions describe the design and operation of the electronic 5" coin validator eagle with parallel BDTA interface.
2.1.2 Additional useful technical documentation Apart from the operating instructions you already have, further documentation is available for the eagle, e.g. documentation concerning configuration. All documentation can be downloaded from the NRI homepage (www.nri.de) as pdf file. About the v eagle The v -eagle coin validator with parallel BDTA interface in the standardized 5“ format uses the patented multi-frequency technology (MFT) for reliable coin validation.
• Front entry and bottom return (E3xxP4. ..) The coin is inserted into the device from the side and returned, if not accepted, via the return area at the bottom. The coin validator with front entry generally has an NRI front plate fitted to the left-hand side . However, this model is also of the device (cf.
Pull the mains plug of the machine before installing, cleaning or removing the coin validator. Contact NRI if you want to modify the device beyond the scope of the modifications or attachments described here. Keep water and other liquids away from the coin validator.
esign Design This chapter describes • the main parts the v eagle consists of, and • all parts required for the operation of the coin validator. Overview Fig. 1: Design 7 Coin outlet – return 1 Coin insert funnel (cf. Chap. 4.2 Coin path, p. 13) 8 Mounting stud (front entry model, open on the side (cf.
esign Label – switch/coin channel assignment In order to be able to easily operate the coin validator, E0P40-EU---20000A there is a label on the rear of the device [Fig. 1/13] Block A Block B briefly showing the functions of the DIL switches at EUR -,05 EUR -,10 the bottom and above (cf.
esign Switch blocks The coin validator has two switch blocks [Fig. 1/12] with ten DIL switches each (S1.1-10 and S2.1–10) on the rear of the device. The DIL switches can be used to set certain device functions: For details on how to use the switch blocks to set the individual functions, see ChapKap.
esign Coin return lever The return lever [Fig. 1/2] on the top of the device is operated using the return button on the machine when coins which have been inserted are to be returned or e.g. a jam caused by coins which have become stuck needs to be removed.
Since in most cases not all coin channels are assigned by customized factory programming, further coin types and the desired information can be assigned to these free channels at any time using the NRI configuration and service tools. Existing configurations can be changed. Eight coin channels are intended to be used for the teach mode. In these teach channels new tokens/coin types can be taught also without configuration and service tools, directly on the coin validator using the switch blocks.
uncTion Memory blocks The v eagle manages two separately programmed (memory) blocks A and B (cf. Chap. 4.3 Labels, . 16 coin channels with different coin types (also currencies), sorting information etc. can p. 14) be assigned to each block. Only one block at a time can be active and used for coin measurement and further coin processing.
uncTion Transmission of coin values via coin pulses and coin signal lines By default each coin accepted by the coin validator sends a pulse to the machine control via the coin signal line assigned to it. A pulse signals to the machine control that a coin has been accepted.
uncTion Coin inhibition/activation of narrow coin channels If coins are no longer to be accepted for payment on the machine you can either • inhibit coin acceptance completely, • inhibit all coin channels of a certain coin to ensure that this coin is no longer accepted, or • inhibit the normal coin channel of a certain coin so that this coin is accepted only in the narrow channel.
uncTion Sorting accepted coins (option) To direct accepted coins either to the cash-box or an external sorting device, e.g. change tubes or hoppers, the coin validator can be equipped with a 5-fold longitudinal sorting mechanism at the coin outlet. The chutes are controlled via a flap sorting system using three solenoids. In this section you learn all about the principle of • longitudinal sorting –...
Sorting with NRI 4-fold sorting adapter (option) For the purpose of splitting-up and for better transport of the sorted coins you have the option of an NRI 4-fold sorting adapter (manifold) which can be screwed to the coin validator from the bottom. This adapter is primarily used in AWP and SWP slot machines.
uncTion 5.6.2 Activation of a cash-box/spare sorting chute (option) If the machine control shall sort coins into the cash-box chute or into a spare sorting chute when the external sorting device sends a "full" signal, the coin validator can be programmed in the factory in such a way that, depending on the status of the single inhibit signal line 6 (pin 4) (high/low), the single inhibit signal lines 1-5 either • inhibit coins by default (single inhibit signal line 6 = low, single inhibit lines 1-5 = high) or...
uncTion Teach mode (option) If the v eagle has been programmed accordingly in the factory, coin channels can be taught in the teach mode without configuration software via the switch block on the coin validator, i. e. a new token or coin is assigned to a coin channel. The new acceptance band is generated by inserting the tokens/coins.
TaRT Start-up For all assembly and installation work on the coin validator and the machine please observe the following safety instructions: • The coin validator may only be connected by a qualified electrician. • The coin validator is not suited for outdoor use. •...
peRaTion Operation This chapter describes how to operate the coin validator, i. e. set certain functions on the coin validator: • selecting memory block • Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel • Teaching coin channels in teach mode (option) The settings which are made directly on the coin validator are described. A separate instruction manual describes how to make settings using the PC configuration software heartbeat (cf.
peRaTion Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel Using the two switch blocks on the coin validator you can inhibit on site each of the 16 coin channels of the activated memory block or each coin assigned to certain coin channels, which means that the inhibited channels are not used for payment on the machine: • Accept coin unrestrictedly: all channels assigned are enabled • Narrow the acceptance band of a coin: inhibit normal channel • Inhibit coin: inhibit all channels assigned The 16 DIL switches inhibit the following coin channels:...
Page 30
peRaTion Example The coin validator shall not use coin channels 3 and 10 for coin acceptance, so that coin channels 3 and 10 must be inhibited With this setting the coin channels 3 and 10 are not used! If a normal and a narrow coin channel are programmed on the coin validator for one coin denomination, the normal coin channel must be inhibited as described above to enable activation of the narrow coin channel.
peRaTion Teaching coin channels in teach mode (optional) If the v eagle has been programmed accordingly in the factory, up to eight coin channels (teach channels) can be taught on the coin validator via the bottom switch block in order to create new acceptance bands.
Page 32
peRaTion To save with the normal acceptance band: Reset DIL switch S2.9 to OFF (down). Successful saving is signalled by the acceptance gate attracting once. A saving error is signalled by the acceptance gate attracting twice (brief cracking sounds), if e.g. the acceptance band of the coins inserted and the acceptance band of a coin channel already programmed overlap, or the measured values generated are too different and the tolerances would become too large.
ainTenance anD seRvice Maintenance and service This chapter describes how to • clean the v eagle and • remedy the cause of malfunctions. Cleaning the coin runway On their way through the coin validator the coins may leave residues on sensitive parts which must be removed from time to time to ensure reliable coin acceptance and rejection.
ainTenance anD seRvice Troubleshooting Malfunctions can occur in all electronic devices. These do not always have to be faults in the device.. In many cases improper connections or incorrect settings are the reason. Therefore: please check first of all whether the malfunction can simply be remedied using the following table.

9.1.1 PC configuration software heartbeat The PC software heartbeat serves for diagnostics and individual configuration of the new NRI coin validator generation and for updating the complete coin and device configuration using data blocks currently provided by NRI (data block upload). The heartbeat software identifies the coin validator connected to the PC and its device-specific data and displays the data on the screen of your PC for diagnostics and configuration. The separate software manual describes how to connect the coin validator to your PC and how to install and use the software.
