bouT About ... This chapter is intended to provide a general overview of the advantages and options of the coin validator v eagle with serial ccTalk or S1 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 serial ccTalk or S1 interface.
-eagle coin validator with serial ccTalk or S1 interface in the standardized 5“ format uses the patented multi-frequency technology (MFT) for reliable coin validation. Communication with the vending machine control system takes place either via the ccTalk-specified 10-pin AWP connecting plug or via the NRI-specified 10-pin S1 connecting plug. Due to these interfaces and its compact design the v -eagle is ideally suited for slot and amusement machines; however it is also used in the transportation sector.
5-fold cross-way sorting) 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 of the device . However, this model is (cp. Chap. "10.3 Accessories", p. 44) also available without front plate.
ACMI model is impossible. If you want to change the factory settings please contact our sales representative. • S1 protocol (ExxxS1. ..) MDB protocol modified by NRI for the German gaming machine market. The S1 protocol differs from the MDB protocol only in the maximum voltage range (up to 28V instead of 42V) and the prescribed galvanic isolation of the communication lines.
afeTy insTRucTions Safety instructions Before starting up the device for the first time, please read these instructions and in particular the safety instructions carefully at least once. This is to ensure that you have understood the contents of this manual and how to operate the coin validator. Proper use The electronic 5“ coin validator v eagle with serial ccTalk or S1 interface is intended for use in gaming, transportation and change giving machines with serial ccTalk or S1 interface and is designed to check the coins inserted into the machine for specific properties and to accept...

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. Three 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 block;...
uncTion Memory blocks The v eagle manages two separately programmed (memory) blocks A and B (cp. Chap. "4.3 Product . 16 coin channels with different coin types (also currencies), sorting information label", p. 17) etc. can be assigned to each block. Only one block at a time can be active and used for coin measurement and further coin processing.
How to program the inhibit or enable functions is described in the • general specification "ccTalk Serial Communication Protocol, Generic Specification“, made available on the Internet at "www.ccTalk.org“, and • specific v eagle ccTalk protocol specification made available to you on request, or • the NRI interface specification "Electronic Coin Validator G-40 S1“ made available to you on request which is based on the NAMA specification "Multi-Drop Bus/Internal Communication Protocol“. 5.4.2 Inhibiting a coin channel/coin channel group using the switch block...
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 in-line or cross-way sorting mechanism or a 4-fold sorting mechanism at the coin outlet. The chutes are controlled via a flap sorting system using three solenoids. The optional interface for the s HSD-3000 high-speed sorter enables the 5-fold sorters to control two additional sorting chutes, that means a total of seven sorting chutes.
Sorting with NRI 4-way manifold For the purpose of splitting-up and for better transport of the sorted coins you have the option of an NRI 4-way manifold which can be screwed to the coin validator from the bottom. This adapter is primarily used in AWP and SWP slot machines.
uncTion 5.5.2 Sorting principle of 5-fold cross-way sorting (E19xxx. ..) In case of cross-way sorting the five sorting chutes are arranged beside one another. The cash box chute is located behind the right-hand sorting chute. If one of the four 'full' sensors integrated in the coin validator signals that a connected change tube is full, the coin drops into the cash box.
uncTion The following table shows which sorting chute is assigned to which ccTalk sorter path: eagle sorting chute ccTalk sorter path Cash-box 1, 6–8 Tube, left 5 Tube, middle left 4 Tube, middle right 3 Tube, right 2 In principle, the ccTalk protocol can address eight sorter paths, however for the eagle ccTalk only five paths are provided.
uncTion The following table shows which sorting chute is assigned to which ccTalk sorter path: eagle sorting chute ccTalk sorter path In principle, the ccTalk protocol can address eight sorter paths, however for the eagle ccTalk only four paths are provided. 5.5.3.2 Sorting with Money Controls 4-way manifold For the purpose of splitting-up and for better...
uncTion 5.5.3.3 Sorting with active Money Controls 8-way manifold Other applications even require sorting into up to eight different paths. For this you can use the Money Controls 8-way manifold which is to be hung up in the machine right under the coin validator .
For the pin assignment of the sorting interface please refer to . The Fig. 12: s HSD-3000 high- Chap. "10.2.1.3 v2 eagle – s2 HSD-3000 high-speed sorter (option)", p. 43 mounting dimensions are stated in the separate s data sheet. speed sorter...

uncTion remains inhibited and in addition all "jammed coins" are automatically released. Sensitivity of the string sensor To enable faster testing of the string sensor for functioning, coin acceptance is not inhibited when diagnosis is performed. When the string sensor is activated only an error code is transmitted.
TaRT Start-up For all installation work on the coin validator or 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 the 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 (cp.
peRaTion Teaching coin channels in teach mode (optional) If the v eagle has been programmed accordingly in the factory, a token or a new coin can be assigned to a coin channel using either the switch block on the coin validator or ccTalk commands and a service menu of the machine.
peRaTion To save with the normal acceptance band: Set DIL switch S6 back 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.

Please consider the following safety instructions when cleaning or servicing the coin validator: • Pull the mains plug of the machine before removing and cleaning the coin validator.
