Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS This Technical Manual provides technical information corresponding to the coin validator in the XV series which is part of the Modular range. The coin validators are apparatus that, within the machine, and forming part of it, have the task of selecting and validating coins introduced into the machine and can work in different ways: parallel, credit and timer.
Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS These validators are characterised by: All the coin validators in the Modular range, and therefore in the XV series, are compatible with the industry standards The coin entry is in the top part. The rejected/refunded coin goes to the bottom right.
Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS The most relevant technical characteristics are: Independent sensor module which is common for all models Made using the most advanced technology, among other things, it has a flash memory which allows the firmware to be programmed and teleprogramming from a PC or using the TL20 or TL21 tool.

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV The outlet module is unique for the different series or references that make up the Modular range. Power supply and electrical consumptions for the standard model The nominal voltage is 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc admitting a minimum of 10 Vdc and a maximum of 27 Vdc.

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV String detection system All the models include an efficient string detection system which detects any attempt at fraud using a string attached to a coin to obtain free credits. String detection system Mean time between failures (MTBF) Under normal working conditions, these validators have a MTBF of 1.3 validators of every 100 per year.

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV Sensor module This element has the majority of the parts responsible for measuring and control in the validator. It is a common element of the validators that have the same sensor configuration. The principle elements that the sensor module has are: JP100: Communication bus for the outlet module...

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV Inside the sensor module is the “string detector system”. An electro-mechanical system to foil any attempt at fraud using a string tied to the coin. The system is based on an infrared beam passing through a hole in the shutter. The beam is interrupted when the string attached to the coin tenses and moves the shutter.

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV In the lower part of the entry model is the acoustic sensor. This device receives the sound made by the coin when it hits the metallic cylinder falling into validator. The parameters received by this sensor are very important in the coin acceptance or rejection process.
Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV Recuperation lever Activating this lever will open the validator to free possible coin jams within the validator and if the refund code is activated it will be generated. Sensor module cover This cover protects the PCB. Communication bus for the entry and sensor modules This communicates the entry and sensor modules.

Programming the microprocessor Acceptance gate Links Photodiode Phototransistor Dipswitches Acceptance gate When the validator validates a coin, the electromagnet opens the gate to let the coin through the accepted coin channel.
Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES It has three working modes: Parallel, Timer and Credit. To configure the different working modes use the four dipswitches (SW), as shown in the table: Working modes Parallel mode The validator working in Parallel mode gives a signal to identify the coin through one or more lines when a coin is accepted.
Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV Working in this mode, when a coin is validated one pulse of a determined duration is given through an assigned line. An Azkoyen sorter can be controlled using pins 3, 4 and 5. This implies the use of a different exit module PCB. In any of the working modes described below, take into account the following information: When the amount introduced goes over the price of the service the validator does...

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV Example: Active Inactive Pin nº6: Service request Service output pin 50 msec Input pin nº 6 Service output Total service time Work for Service Request. Through pin 6 the time signals are requested one by one. For this to happen it is necessary for pin 6 to change state, that is form active (0 or 1, depending on the configuration) to inactive for a minimum of 50 milliseconds.
Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV In the three working modes, a counter pulse can be programmed, which will appear each time the value of the coin counter that is programmed is reached, the duration can also be programmed, as much in the time ON as in the time OFF. An electro-mechanical counter is usually used.

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV Example: Active Inactive Credit output pin Credit output pin Working with Service Request Through pin 6, the pulses are requested one by one. For this to happen pin 6 must go from inactive to active for a minimum of 50 milliseconds. Then it must go back to inactive for a minimum of 50 milliseconds to be able to sell the following signal.
Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV For example, if the base coin is €1, when two 50-cent coins (1€) are introduced, a counter pulse is produced, or when five 20-cent coins (1€) are introduced, it also produces a counter pulse. The pulse on this line is configurable. In both working modes, a credit available signal is produced.

IEC801-4: Transitory peaks and spikes (Measurement of the immunity of transitory peaks and spikes). EN60335-1 (94-95). Electrical appliance safety norm CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The amount of dirt coins leave and the foreign objects and dirt that may obstruct its elements determine the maintenance the coin validator requires.
