  • Page 7: Installation

    PAY ATTENTION! The coin selector must be installed 90°-95° with respect to level plane. Because of the built-in advanced security system, it is essential that the whole coin path gets not hindered. Alberici is not responsible for any malfunctioning due to lack of compliance with such recommendations. MOUNTING of the “S-TYPE COIN ACCEPTOR (FACE PLATES) Various models of front entries are available, to whose bracket the coin mechanism gets firmly hooked.
  • Page 8 The sorter can be mounted directly at the bottom of the “S”-type coin acceptor, by the dedicated AA-0703 bracket. MOUNTING of the “S”-TYPE COIN ACCEPTOR in the 5” ADAPTOR When incorporated into the 5” adaptor (SG-5000), and by adding the upper reject lever and the relevant torque spring, the 3,5”...

    Protocol is mostly used in gaming and casino machines but it can be implemented in any other tipes of machines that use same type of devices. It is public protocol and free to use. Pls. find documentation on: www.cctalk.org. Communication protocol of ALBERICI coin selectors AL55I66 complies with generic specification 4.4 6.1 Communication specifications Serial communication was derivated from RS232 standard.
  • Page 13 Table 6.1 Standard address for different types of devices Address for Alberici Hopper is factory set as 3; the user can change the default address by using the MDCES commands Address change or Address random or by setting Hopper dip-switches. For details see cctalk42-2.pdf, Address poll.
  • Page 14 6.2.4 Data There is no limitation in use of data formats. Data could be BCD (Binary Coded Decimal)numbers, Hexa numbers or ASCLL strings. Intrepretation as well as format is specific to each header use, and will be explained in separate chapter. 6.4.5 Checksum Message integrity during transfer is checked by use of simple zero checksum calculation.
  • Page 15 Host sends: [Dir] [00] [01] [F6] [Chk] Coin s. responds: [01] [Nr.b] [Dir] [00] [a1] [a2] ..[an] [Chk] Nr. b is number of data bytes-characters sent by coin selector, and a1 to an are ASCII characters. For Alberici coin selector example of message string is: Host sends: [02] [00] [01] [F6] [07] Coin s.
  • Page 16 Coin s. responds: [01] [09] [02] [00] [75][31][2E][30][20][70][31][2E][30][2E][30] [71] Coin selector response is ‘u1.0 p1.0.0’. ALBERICI coin selectors has program firmware label divided in two parts. First label u is for protected FLASH memory program(monitor program) revision. First digit is for major changes and second for minor changes. In this case it is u1.0.
  • Page 17 Coin selector has internal mechanism to block the coin acceptance and registration of all events if polling time elapse. For ALBERICI coin selector acceptance speed is from 3 to 4 coins per second ( Dependant on mechanical type of coin selector - S type is faster than V type - and coin.
  • Page 18 The responds to that command is version of coin data base. Version of data base is important for coin selectors with remote programming support. For all ALBERICI coin selectors type AL55/66 current data base version is 00. Message format is: Host sends: [Dir] [00] [01] [F3] [Chk] Coin s.
  • Page 19 Coin selector responds with two data byte representing the state of DIP-switches and state of inputs In1(pin 6) and In2(pin 5), if In2 is programmed as input. ALBERICI coin selectors has one or two banks of DIP-switches for various data or operating modes setting.
  • Page 20 Bits from 0 do 15 determinate coin positions from 1 to 16. Positions are sent by coin selector during reading credit buffer or error codes (header 229). Number of coin channels in new ALBERICI coin selectors AL55/66 is same as number of position(16). Message format is: Host sends: [Dir] [02] [01] [E7] [LSB Mask.] [MSB Mask.] [Chk]...

    SPI Display AD01: serial protocol The Alberici display AD01 consists of standard 16x2 characters LCD module with parallel interface, background light, equipped with a small controller pcb for SPI communication with the host. It has been designed to be used as a display accessory for AL66 FG coin selectors, but it can be used with any other host capable to interface through SPI.
  • Page 29 Message structure The display can work only as slave and does not reply to any of the command messages sent by the host. There are two different sets of commands: Display coin selector data Display message First set is used to show specific coin selector data and second is used to show any display message. 7.2.1 Display coin selector data The coin selector will send to the display controller the following command string: [ 0xC0 ]...
  • Page 30 The byte of the Display light intensity allows to set the duty cycle of the driver of the light brightness (Pulse Width Modulation). When the display is connected to the coin selector, the intensity of its background light will then be stored into the coin selector NV memory (FLASH), and it will remain stable even if power supply is changed.
