The Combo - T device is designed to manage the processes of payment and acceptance of coins in machines or devices that use electronic payment systems. The Combo-T is a compact device, composed of several devices, for the management of coins and includes: • Coin validator with coin input chute •...
INSTALLATION AND START UP 3.1 DIMENSIONS AND LAYOUT • The device should be installed on the inside of the machine taking into account the dimensions and layout that are shown below. • It is very important to ensure that both the coin exits and moving parts are free from mechanical interference, especially the coin refund motor and the opening of the validator.
Connection of the interface board Figure 3: Connection of the interface board Power supply The Combo-T device is powered from the ccTalk connection. Ensure that the power supply from the master provides the correct voltage for the operation of the equipment. •...
3.3 CONFIGURATION OF THE CCTALK ADDRESSES OF THE DEVICES • The ccTalk device addresses of the Combo-T must be configured. • The ccTalk specification defines 1 as the bus address for the master. By default, the factory default addresses of the Combo - T devices are as follows:...

5 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS 5.1 COIN VALIDATOR X6-D2S CCTALK The coin-mechanism or coin validator whose job it is to recognise and validate coins inserted by users also controls their classification. Through electromagnetic sensors and optical controlled by a digital microprocessor with technology DSP, the validator is capable of recognizing any programmed coin with a great precision, guaranteeing the functioning of free fraud and avoiding the acceptance of coins that have not been programmed.
• It has an effective "anti-fishing system" which has the job of foiling any attempt of fraud using the procedure of tying a string to a coin. • Modular construction. • It can control 3 and 5-way sorters. • Built with plastic material of the latest generation, wear-resistant, dissipating of static electricity, of high rigidity and dimensionally stable at high temperatures and humidity (low level of absorption) and resistant to saline mist.
5.2 REFUND MODULE It is in charge of activating the refund lever on the validator in an electro-mechanical manner, with the aim of eliminating possible mechanical jams that occur inside the validator. In addition, when a user requests the refund of credit or the cancellation of the transaction, the refund motor is activated by pressing the refund button on the interface board.
The module itself performs the control and stopping of the motor, which should match with an opening and closing of the door of the validator. The master or primary system that controls the Combo-T should only send a pulse of activation.

The coins rejected by the validator are not classified but are returned to the outside of the machine by a direct reject channel. • The coins inserted in the Combo-T reach the Validator through of the coin entry chute (3). • The validator has previously received on behalf of the master ccTalk application all the commands associated with inhibition of coins and classification of them.
5.3.2 Layout of the classification paths The exit paths of the sorter module (S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5) are as follows: Figure 11: Paths of classification The exit paths direct the coins to the corresponding paths C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5, to reach their final destination: filling of hoppers, intermediate storage into the escrow or cashbox.
On the Electronic circuit board are the internal and external connections. The coin validator is connected to the Combo-T device with 10-way cable that comes with the sorter. Alternatively the ccTalk connection could be made with the 4-way connector available.
5.4 ESCROW This module is an optional intermediate storage of the coins inserted before making the associated transaction. It can be enabled as a classification path (C1 S1) to temporarily store coins which are not routed to hoppers or discriminators. The operation consists of the possibility of returning these coins or finally routing to the cashbox.

5.5 HOPPERS The Combo-T device can be equipped, as devices of payment, with both Hoppers and Discriminators. Their function is the storage of coins for the payment of refund or a credit. The main difference between a hopper and a discriminator is that the first is a single coin payout and the second has capacity to use two values of coins, simultaneously.
5.5.1 Technical Characteristics • Coverage of all the range of existing coins with 3 available disks (diameter) 7, 8 and 12 cavities and two blades (thickness) • Storage of one type of coin per hopper • Up to 400 coins per hopper average for a coin of 24 mm dia. and 2.8 mm thickness •...

5.6 DISCRIMINATORS The Combo-T device can use Discriminators as payment devices. The Discriminator is a type of hopper allowing the payment of two different types of mixed coins the same hopper. It has a device that identifies, by its diameter, the coins in the disk and allows the payment of any of the two.
5.6.1 How the Discriminator works The basis of how the Discriminator works is by measuring the diameter of the coins using three optic sensors. IMPORTANT: For the serial Discriminator to work properly, the coins that are used in the same hopper must have a difference in diameter of at least 1 millimetre.
If multiple payment is used, the orders of payment must adapt to the current availability of cash. It takes into account the availability and also the percentages of the types of coins inside of the hopper. The duration of the payment will be extended proportionally to the difference of percentages of occupation of the hopper.
5.6.3 Physical characteristics Range of coins Range diameter coin (mm) 18 to 30 Range thickness coins (mm) 1.2 to 3.2 Table 25: Range of coins of the Discriminator Capacity of coins in the hopper Ø 24 mm Coin Thickness cent € cent €...

5.6.5 Electronic characteristics Electronic circuit board The electronics of the Discriminator is based on a micro-controller PIC (Not flash). In contrast to the Hopper U-II, if it were necessary to update the firmware, the PIC would need to be substituted, for this reason it is removable. To select the ccTalk address of the device there are 2 dipswitches accessible from the exterior.

The recalibration may be done by the machine, if you have implemented this provision in your software or with the ccTalk Manager Tool of Azkoyen, follow the steps listed in the chapter: “Execution of processes Discriminator Calibrate”, page 24.
5.7 ELECTRONIC INTERFACE: I/O INTERFACE BOARD The Combo - T connects to the master of the system through this interface board, using a standard of 2 x 5 - way ccTalk connection. In addition to the ccTalk connection, it has a microcontroller for the control of the ccTalk devices working in parallel, such the refund motor and the escrow and the reading of analogue / digital inputs to receive information on the status of the devices.
5.7.4 Description of the ccTalk commands CcTalk addresses of the interface board The interface board, by default, has the cctalk address 80 (decimal) assigned. It is possible to change this address for any of the 85-89 range, using the command ccTalk [251] Address change.

PC or through of the portable tool TL20. There is a specific manual, both for the TL20 and the HEUS, available on the Azkoyen website; you should consult them for the detailed instructions for managing and operating these devices.
The application is available on the technical website of Azkoyen (http://sat.azkoyen.com). Figure 33: Screen shot of the application ccTalk Manager The ccTalk Manager facilitates the integration of the Combo - T or any other ccTalk device, using simulation of the communication.
For the connection of ccTalk devices to a PC you need an electronic interface that suits the voltage to be used in this serial communication. There are two available interfaces, one with a USB connection and the other with a RS-232 connection, to be connected to a COM. 6.2.2 ccTalk interfaces 6.2.2.1 Interface USB –...
