Product description

The RM5 validator is the result of the investment made by Comestero to provide the market with a reliable and extremely versatile product. The project started two years before the introduction of the new European currency, the EURO.Many were the investments as well as the visits to the different European mints in order to introduce a decidedly advanced product on the market. Despite our engagement we found out remarkable differences between the different coins produced in the various mints and even among the coins of the same mint. These differences are mainly caused by the alloy, i.e. the metal used. To face this problem, i.e. making the equipment accept the highest number of Euro coins possible, although structurally different, the RM5 coin validator has been equipped with 60 channels, thus increasing the possibility of adjusting up t 59 different coins. The brand new electronics of the RM5 validator combines the extraordinary selectivity due to seven measuring sensors to the extreme versatility thanks to the CLONING system which allows to duplicate the equipment directly on site within a few seconds. The series of RM5 electronic coin validators has been designed to fully meet the different requirements of the sectors using this product. In particular: – automatic distribution. – gaming and amusement. – gas stations. – parking areas. – photocopiers. – etc.
The RM5 Evolution series includes 10 versions with different performances to better meet the different requirements.

Models “V” and “F”, are identical, as regards coin introduction and rejection. They differ as regards their applications.
Model “V” can be used both for front application featuring the F6 front panel (Code RM F6), see paragraph 4.5 “Dimensional characteristics of the front panels”, and for application of traditional 5″ placing the specific mechanical adapter (Code RM ADAPTER / 5).
Model “F” can be used only for front application both with F6 front panel and with F1 reduced panel (Code RM F1). See paragraph 4.5 “Dimensional characteristics of the front panels”.
Model “G” can be applied on appropriate vertical supports, such as standard video doors or RM37/IL front panels or doors with luminous push button, with coin separator, if any.
5.2 Connections
In order to assure the highest level of compatibility with the currently available systems, the RM5 coin validator in the 12-24Vdc power supply version shown on the label is equipped with a standard 10 Pin connector, usually powered with 12Vdc and one standard 16 Pin conector, usually powered with 24Vdc and also has the opportunity to exploit the same connectors with 12Vdc and 24Vdc power supply. Moreover the programming connector also acts as serial output which responds by sending the value of the introduced coin to the computer. There are two different Hardware versions: RM5 Evolution (standard) / EO / AT and RM5 CC TALK, please refer to the images below.

The following paragraphs provide the necessary information to connect RM5 using the connectors of which is equipped. RM5 is available in 3 different versions: ccTalk (Full cctalk version), Validator and Totalizer.

F Wake-up connector (valid for Wake-up version only (JP5))

In those applications where an extra low comsumption coin validator is required, on request, it is possible to use a special version with wake-up device.

This special coin validator is usually in a “Stop” status with reduced consumptions, lower than 90 micro Ampere. Further to the introduction of the first coin, the equipment restores its normal functions for a given time, then it returns to “Stop” status.

The coin validator is supplied with a jumper which MUST be used only during the programming phase.

This jumper prevents the equipment from going into low consuption status and

therefore it can be adjusted or programming can be modified. Insert jumper

between the two pins of WAKE-UP connector as shown in the figure.

EN

Remember not to leave it on, otherwise the equipment will never go to low

consumption status and as a consequence the battery will quickly run down.

5.3 Dip Switch
The dip-switches can carry out three different functions: STANDARD FUNCTION, 3,3 FUNCTION, 4,2 FUNCTION.

A. Standard function
THIS IS THE DEFAULT FUNCTION. Using the dip-switch group it is possible to program the equipment in Self-prog mode (EXCEPT FOR RM5 X CC, RM5 X E0, RM5 X AT). Please refer to paragraph “PROGRAMMING SYSTEMS” or use the same to manually inhibit five of the first six channels they are associated to.

24

When the dip-switch in on “ON” the channel is inhibited, when it is on “OFF” (NUMBER SIDE) it is enabled. If for example you do not want the equipment to accept a coin, it is sufficient to look at the adjustment channel on the label and to put the relevant dip-switch on “ON”. When you want to re-enable it, just put the dip-switch on “OFF” again.

Channels 3 and 4 inhibited Channels 1,2,5,6, enabled

B. 3,3 Function

It is possible to request this function in the purchase order or to set it through “Clone5” (please refer to paragraph “PROGRAMMING SYSTEMS”).

EN

Using the dip-switch group, it is possible to program the equipment in Self- Prog mode

(please refer to paragraph “PROGRAMMING SYSTEMS).

In the “Totalizer” versions it is possible to set the credit price using the first 3 dip-

switches while the other three are used to set a bonus threshold (Version 20, 40, 60)

or the service time (Version 30).

– PRICE AND BONUS SETTING VIA DIP-SWITCHES

When the dip-switches are disabled (all on “OFF”) the internal programming of the equipment will apply. When the dip-switches are set the credit cost is equivalent to the binary value of the first three multiplied by the basic value of the equipment, while the last three dipswitches show the number of credits after which 1 bonus is given.

Credit setting

Bonus setting
The difference with respect to the setting with RM5 PROGRAMMER or with CLONE 5 (please refer to paragraph “PROGRAMMING SYSTEMS) is that it is possible to set only one bonus which must however be a multiple of the basic cost of the credit. Example: with X21 validator adjusted on 0,50 ; 1,00 ; 2,00 . As shown in the figure the credit is 5 times (expressed in Binary on the first 3 dipswitches) the basic value of the equipment, 5x 0,50 = 1,50 The bonus is given further to an introduction which is twice the credit value. i.e 2×1,50=3,00. Therefore when a set of coins is introduced and the credit value is reached, i.e. 1,50 the coin validator will send a pulse to the machine; if more coins are introduced and the bonus value is reached, i.e. 3,00 the equipment will send the second pulse plus the bonus pulse. 3,00=2 pulses x 1,50 + 1 bonus pulse.

25

RM5 Evolution – Operating Manual

5 binary therefore the credit is 5 times the base value.

2 binary, therefore the bonus is given when the second credit is reached
C. 4,2 function
Similar to the previous function, it is possible to request this function in the purchase order or to set it through “Clone5” (please refer to paragraph “PROGRAMMING SYSTEMS) Using the dip-switch group, it is possible to program the equipment in Self-Prog mode, (please refer to paragraph “PROGRAMMING SYSTEMS) In the “Totalizer” versions, it is possible to set the credit price using the first 4 dipswitches, while with the remaining 2 it is possible to set a bonus threshold (Version 20, 40, 60) or the service time (Version 30).

6. Programming
Thanks to the state-of-the art electronics used, the coin validator can be programmed in three different modes:
– SELF-PROG FUNCTION (FUNCTION DISABLED FOR : RM5 X CC, RM5 X AT, RM5 X E0).
– PORTABLE PROGRAMMER (2 MODELS AVAILABLE, ONE FOR EVOLUTION VERSION AND ONE FOR CC TALK).
– PC KIT (2 PROGRAMS AVAILABLE, ONE FOR EVOLUTION, E0, AT VERSION,ONE FOR CC TALK VERSION).
EN
6.1. Self-prog function
(FUNCTION DISABLED FOR : RM5 X CC, RM5 X AT, RM5 X E0)
The SELF-PROG function is extremely useful in case of programmation of a coin or a token directly on the machine where they are installed as the first six channels of the RM5 validator can be reprogrammed wihout requiring any external equipment. To be noted that , in addition to the programmation of the coin/token on the specific channel, other parameters of the validator may be modified, such as for example the value attribution; in this case it is absolutely necessary to use either the Portable Programmer or the PC Kit.
Programming a token or a coin on channel No. 6
· With machine off, put the 6 DIP-SWITCHES to “ON” · Energize and insert 15 coins/tokens · Wait for the double “clack” of programming end · Put DIP switches to OFF · Switch off the validator and switch it on again Programming tokens and/or coins on channels 1 to 5
· With machine off, put the 6 DIP-SWITCHES to “ON” · Energize and insert 1 or 2 coins · Leave on ON only the SWITCH corresponding to the channel to be programmed · Insert coins until the double “clack” of programming end · Put DIP switches to OFF · Switch off the validator and switch it on again
NOTE: At the end of the procedure the first two coins introduced may be rejected. With the operation the new adjustment (coin/token) will keep the previously programmed value. In X 21 configuration the credit will be equal to the previously set game price.

RM5 Evolution – Operating Manual
6.2. Portable programmer
The major innovation determining the strong point of the equipment, in particular in this period of major changes, is given by the Portable Programmer: the RM5 PROGRAMMER,which modifies all functions of the equipment on site and also includes the “CLONING” function. This fuction allows to take the data from one coin validator or from a PC and to transfer them to another coin validator which will therefore be identical to the first one: adjustment, configuration and options incuded. For the versions RM5 X CC, RM5 X AT, RM5 X E0 it is ONLY POSSIBLE TO READ THE DATA CONTAINED IN THE EQUIPMENT. There is also a cheaper “EASY”version, not including some of the functions, such as the configuration change and duplication. For these functions and for the performances provided by the two models, please refer to the manual of the portable programmer.
6.3. PC Kit
The computer kit is certainly the most complete system to adjust and check every single option of the equipment. It consists of a CD-ROM containing the software, an interface cable containing an SMD board for RS232 connection, a feeder, a validator support, and a test box useful for the power supply and to check the correct operation of the validator. To this purpose please refer to “CLONE 5” PC kit manual.
For versions RM5 X CC a dedicated program is available.

7. Configuration

Every validator is identified by a code consisting of six characters which determines the configuration, i.e. the operation mode. Reference is now made to the code below which appears on the validator label.

7.1 Validator configuration (RM5 X 00)
In standard validator configuration, RM5 can manage up to six different coin values, i.e. up to six different outputs. Standard validator means a validator which further to the introduction of a coin gives as validation signal a pulse to the corresponding output. The standard pulse length is 100 msec (+0% ÷ 2%); nevertheless it can be varied between 10mSec. and 2 sec. NOTE: When a value ranging between 10 and 630 msec is set, the ratio 1 to 4 is guaranteed, i.e.the pulse will be active (low) for the fixed timed, while the pause time between one pulse and the other will be four times as much. When a value higher than 630 msec is set, the pause time will not follow this rule.
To inhibit one or more coins adjusted on the first 6 channels it is sufficient to put the DIP-SWITCH relevant to the channel to be inhibited to “ON”. To inhibit the coins programmed in the channels after 6 the PC kit or RM5 PROGRAMMER shall be used.
The coin validator has a general inhibiting pin, PIN 6, (see connector), which when set on HIGH (+5Vdc, +12Vdc.) completely inhibits the coin validator, therefore each coin introduced would always be rejected.This pin is usually controlled by the machine if this is out of order.
There is also the possibility to inhibit the validator after a fixed number of coins introduced by setting, by means of the relevant programming kits (PC Kit or RM5 PROGRAMMER) the “cash limit” function.

29

RM5 Evolution – Operating Manual

Whn the validator reaches the programmed threshold it will be disabled; to be enabled again the machine shall send a reset signal to the validator inhibition pin.
This application is particularly used on “BINGO” machines and small-sized coffee machines and on all machines with a limited number of accepted coins.
To separate coins from tokens a coin separator can be installed. To this purpose the validator shall be programmed, by means of Clone5, to manage the separator (RM5 x 01). When the separator function is enabled, the validator can manage the first 4 channels, as the outputs relevant to channels 5 and 6 (Pin 3 and 4) are used to control the separation coils.

NOTE: the RM5 X 00 validator is totally interchangeable with NRI G13 validator and with COIN CONTROLS C 120 validator, with AZKOYEN AZ66 validator, Jofemar T11 MS 130 MARS, G18 NRI and FAGE validator. Thanks to the mechanical adapter it can be turned from 3.5″ to 5″ standard thus becoming also mechanically interchangeable with the abovementioned 24VDC validators when these are installed on an RM1000 support or Juke Boxes with 5″ validator. An interface has also been produced to make electronically interchangeable the validator with MARS 111 validators PNP outputs (MRS 111 interface) as well as from a mechanical point of view thanks to the front panel code RM F3 as shown in the paragraph “Front panel size”.

7.2 ccTalk validator configuration (RM5 X CC)
In validator configuration with CC TALK protocol, RM5 can manage up to sixteen different coin values. The equipment will respond to serial controls described below. ccTalk is a serial communication protocol providing an excellent balance between easiness and safe information. This protocol was designed for the GAMING industry. It includes a high number of specific controls, aimed at meeting a high control flexibility by a control unit called Host (Machine Data Sheet) It was designed to allow the interconnection between different types of money treatment devices simply with a serial cable, shown below. The use of controls is free and according to the type of application and requirements; anyway all strategies and supervision are carried out by the Host. The type of connection is called Multidrop, where only the Host can “Ask”, all devices “Listen” and only the adressed device “Responds”. Communication is of “half duplex”

30

type, i.e. on the line there is only the request or the answer, never both at the same time (full ­ duplex).

Fig. 13
EN
The protocol provides no procedure to manage peripherals. This is left to the common sense of the Host programmer. For example, if you want to avoid replacing the validator or any other device, it may be sufficient that, when the machine is started up, this requests its peripheral about serial numbers, product code, manufacturer code,etc. If all information received from the peripherals matches the information stored in the host all activities can go on, otherwise these may be ihibited and the necessary measures will be taken.
RM5 X CC implements 35 controls described below.

For the detailed description of each control listed above please refer to the CCTALK manual available on this site: www.cctalk.org.
All RM5 coin validators produced by implementing CCTalk protocol are configured as VALIDATORS 00 (please refer to chapter 8.1. VALIDATOR CONFIGURATION). Each of them, in order to meet the requirement of non modifiable condition, is programmed so that nobody can intervene on the settings carried out by Comestero either through the usual management/programming systems (Clone 5 and RM5 Programmer) or by acting on the output connector.The protocol also identifies the type of physical interface to be used and defines the voltage levels and suggests the appropriate circuits.
It suggests the type of connection (connectors). In particular for the coin validator, a 4 Pin and a 10 Pin connectors are suggested (and therefore used by our company) represented in para. 5.2 ­ G.
7.3 Validator configuration for Spain (RM5 X E0)
In validator configuration with SPAIN protocol, RM5 can manage up to six different coin values, i.e. up to six different outputs. If the equipment has to pilot a coin separator the outputs will be only 4, as two outputs are destined to pilot the separator. Spagna Validator means a coin validator which, after introducing a coin, before giving the standard 100 msec validation pulse (+0% ÷ 2%), generates a 10msec notice pulse on the output corresponding to the programmed channel. During this time the game board must decide whether to accept the coin and to activate the separator to convey it to the hoppers. For this operation two inhibition pins are available on the validator, PIN 6 concerning the validator inhibition, PIN 5 concerning the separator inhibition. The board shall keep these 2 pins high (+ 5 Vdc, inhibition status). Further to the insertion of a coin, the validator sends the notice signal to the machine, now the machine can decide whether to accept the coin, placing PIN 6 to mass (validator inhibition) and whether to separate it or convey it to the cash by acting on PIN 5 (separator inhibition).

7.4 Timed pulse validator configuration (RM5 X AT)
In validator configuration ­ SPAIN mode WITH TIMED OUTPUTS, RM5 can manage up to six different coin values, i.e. up to six different outputs. If the equipment has to pilot a coin separator the outputs will be only 4, as two outputs are destined to pilot the separator. TIMED Spagna Validator means a coin validator which, after introducing a coin, before giving the validation pulse, generates a 10msec notice pulse on the output corresponding to the programmed channel. During this time the game board must decide whether to accept the coin and to activate the separator to convey it to the hoppers. For this operation two inhibition pins are available on the validator, PIN 6 concerning the validator inhibition, PIN 5 concerning the separator inhibition. The board shall keep these 2 pins high (+ 5 Vdc, inhibition status). Further to the insertion of a coin, the validator sends the notice signal to the machine, now the machine can decide whether to accept the coin, placing PIN 6 to mass (validator inhibition) and whether to separate it or convey it to the cash by acting on PIN 5 (separator inhibition). The peculiarity of this version is that the validation pulse of each channel has a different duration. The pulse time related to channel 1 can be factory programmed according to the customer request (10 to 630 msec +0% ÷ 2%), standard 40 msec. The following ones have a 20 msec step. This complies with the new regulations requiring the non modifiable condition for the machine, as in the event that the wires

7.5 Binary validator configuration (RM5 X B0)
In standard validator configuration, RM5 can manage up to fifteen coin values, i.e. up to 59 different coins provided that these are re-addressed to the first 15 channels. When the coin is introduced, the validator will signal in binary code on the first 4 channels the channel on which the coin has been adjusted; at the same time the “data valid” signal will activate on channel 6; this one will activate at every coin introduction.

35

RM5 Evolution – Operating Manual
adopted to the machine: if disabled (open collector) the validator uses a standard mode, if enabled (Gnd) the validator uses the confida combinatory mode. Channel 6 is used as even parity display to increase safety on the value of the combination transmitted to the validator; thanks to this , always more than one line is activated for every communication thus making easier the identification of any illegal combination due to causes of different nature.

7.7 Multipulse validator configuration (RM5 X 0M)
As known, the standard mode of current validators consists in communicating to the system the collection of a coin by enabling, for a fixed time, the corresponding output: the same operation principle has been used also to communicate the collection of a number higher than 6 of the possible oin values with the output line multiple enabling technique. Basically the standard enabling of the outputs can be repeated, up to five times, until the total value communicated by the validator corresponds to the actual value of the coin cashed.
EN
Fig. 18
7.8 Dual price totalizer configuration (RM5 X 10)
The validator can recognize 59 coins which can have even 59 different values; it sums them up and directly manages a display to visualize the entered data. When it has acquired a credit equal to the sale price it enables the relevant line which remains enabled until a reset signal is received. Using the RM5-PROGRAMMER portable programmer different options can be enabled and/or modified such as: – Sales accounting, the validator has two internal counters, one for each price line. – Machine Block: one or two sale thresholds can be enabled, one for each price line,
and the machine can be stopped when a pre-set sale number has been reached. – A signal (display flashing) can be enabled when the machine is reaching the sale
block
37

RM5 Evolution – Operating Manual

– The validator cannot give change but it will credit the extra coins inserted in the previous sale to the following sale.

– The type of reset can be set.

INTERNAL timed (RM5 V 14) EXTERNAL passive

The validator is usually supplied with passive reset, i.e. if the power supply is stopped for at least 100msec on pin 6. For special applications, i.e. machines which do not manage a reset signal, an internal reset (automatic) can be programmed and its duration defined; when the validator reaches it, it is automatically reset. (RM5 X 14).
– Version Warning: in this configuration only one sale price can be managed.` – The display can show the introduced coins,increasing from zero up to the sale
price or decreasing from the sale price down to zero. – Modify sale prices.

FOUNTAIN TOTALIZER CONFIGURATION (RM5 X FD)
The only difference with RM5 x 14 version lies in the fact that with two identical prices, the line of the second price will be enabled with a 2 sec delay, time necessary to glass dispensing.
7.9 Credit pulse emisison totalizer configuration (RM5 X 20) (RM5 X 21)
The validator can recognize 59 coins which can have even 59 different values, it sums them up and directly manages a display to visualize the introduced amounts. It has been designed to directly drive the videogames boards.It allows to define a game cost (credit cost) and up to two bonus levels. For example with a credit cost of 0.25, by introducing 1.00 you can have 5 credits (4 + 1 bonus); by introducing 2.00 you can set 11 credits (2nd bonus). When the validator has acquired a value equal to the credit cost, it gives a pulse and when the bonus thresholds are reached, it shows the number of the related credits.
38

The standard pulse length is 100 msec (+0% ÷ 2%); nevertheless it can be varied between 10mSec. and 2 sec.
NOTE: when a value ranging between 10 and 630 msec is set, the ratio 1 to 4 is guaranteed, i.e.the pulse will be active (low) for the fixed timed, while the pause time between one pulse and the other will be four times as much. When a value higher than 630 msec is set, the pause time will not follow this rule. The bonuses are assigned if the coins are introduced in sequence within a maximum time of 10 sec. between one coin and the other. There is also an output to directly control an external counter for the accepted coins.
Thanks to the RM5-PROGRAMMER portable programmer the following options can EN
be enabled and/or modified: – enabling the reading of the internal counter for introduced coins and reset – adjusting pulse length between 10msec and 2 sec (standard signal 100 msec +0%
÷ 2%). – disabling every single coin acceptance channel – setting credit cost and bonus levels
To facilitate the installation of this model, an RM927 interface board is provided equipped on one side with a standard container connector for the validator and on the other side with a 5-pole terminal board. See attached diagram.
Fig. 19
To inhibit the electronic S.E.C.I. validator using RM 927/N interface board it is sufficient to connect the inhibition wire of the game board to the connector shown below. The game board is provided with an internal pull-up; therefore if you do not want to connect the inhibition pin it is necessary to carry out the abovementioned modification.
IMPORTANT NOTE: IF THE INHIBITION PIN IS NOT USED, IT MUST BE BRIDGED TO THE GND PIN.
If you wish to separate the coins or tokens a coin separator can be installed. To this purpose the validator must be programmed via Clone5, to manage the separator

7.10 Progressive timer configuration (RM5X30 3R 3C)

A. RM5X30 : Progressive timer
It recognizes 59 coins which can have even 59 different values, it sums them up and when a previously set value is reached (basic service cost), it enables a signal for a defined time (basic service time). When other coins are added, the signal duration is increased proportionally to the value of the coins added. The validator manages a display that visualizes the introduced coins until the basic cost is reached and then it visualized the time expressed in seconds or minutes. An output signal is provided to give a notice of the expiry of the available time: the notice time is adjustable. There is also an input signal (PIN 6) called economizer that stops the time and suspends the relevant output control. When this signal is disabled, the validator will enable the service and the time count again.

By means of the portable programmer the following operations can be carried out: – Enabling the counting of the introduced coins. – Setting the basic service cost (P1). – Setting the minimum amount to be added to have additional time (P2). If P2 is not
defined, to have extra time, another amount corresponding to the service cost shall be entered. – Defining the counting and visualization time unit (seconds or minutes).

– Defining the service duration ranging from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes (+0% ÷ 2%) according to the time unit selected.
– Setting the notice signal time (always expressed in seconds). – Enabling the economizer actions.

7.11 On request credit emission totalizer configuration (RM5X40)
It recognizes 59 coins that can have even 59 different values, it sums them up;when the validator has acquired a value equal to the credit cost, it accumulates it and the signal is given only on request of the player who sends a credit to the machine by pressing a button. This validator has been designed to meet the requirements of the manufacturers of Kiddy rides, billiards, table games In general. The signal can be of two types:
– Adjustable pulse between 10 msec and 2 sec (standard 100 msec (+0% ÷ 2%).
– Fixed awaiting a reset on PIN 6.

NOTE: when a value ranging between 10 and 630 msec is set, the ratio 1 to 4 is guaranteed, i.e.the pulse will be active (low) for the fixed timed, while the pause time between one pulse and the other will be four times as much. When a value higher than 630 msec is set, the pause time will not follow this rule.

The fixed signal is useful when an automatism not equipped with self-supply must be supplied and at the end of the cyle a reset signal will return. The validator directly controls a display that visualizes the introduced amounts until the value of one credit is reached and then the accumulated credits will be displayed. Alternatively, i.e. when the use of a display is not provided, the presence of credits can be shown using the signal given by the validator on output on pin 10 which is kept enabled when the validator has at least 1 credit stored. Also this version has an output for the direct control of an external counter of accepted coins. By means of the portable programmer the following operations can be carried out:
– Setting the cost of the single credit and the two bonus thresholds. – Enabling and reading the internal counter of accepted coins. – Selecting the type of signal: pulse or fixed (standard pulse). – Adjusting the length between 10 msec and 2 sec in the case of a pulse. – Individual disabling of coin acceptance channels.

7.12 On request timed credit emission totalizer configuration (RM5X60)
Basically it is equivalent to RM5X40 validator with a built-in timer function. The credit emission is not a simple pulse as in 40 version but a fixed signal with adjustable length. The display visualizes the coins introduced until at least one credit is reached, then the number of accumulated credits and then, when on request a credit is consumed, it visualizes the passing of time. This validator has been designed for time table games (billiards, volley,etc.) for KiddieRiders,etc. Also this version is provided with an output for the direct control of an external counter of accepted coins and a signal (PIN 10) which is enabled when the validator has
accumulated at least one credit for a credit available signal,if any, in case of lack of EN
display.
By means of the portable programmer the following operations can be carried out:
– Setting the cost of the single credit and the two bonus thresholds
– Defining the counting/visualization time unit (seconds or minutes)
– Defining the length of the credit signal which can range from 1 to 255 sec (+0% ÷ 2%) or 1 to 255 minutes (+0% ÷ 2%) according to the time unit selected
– Enabling and reading the internal counter of accepted coins
– Disabling the single accpetance channels.

7.13 Configuration of photocopier single price multiple sale totalizer (RM5X70)
It is a validator designed for photocopying and basically it accomplishes the “KEYCOUNTER” function. It accepts 59 coins that can have even 59 different values. When it has accumulated at least one value equal to the cost of one photocopy it gives an enabling signal to the machine. It accumulates credits for more photocopies. At every cycle (copy made) of the photocopier it receives a signal (reset) that decrements the accumulated credits. When it arrives to the last copy, it disables the machines. It directly manages a display

showing the money introduced until it has credited at least the value of the cost of one copy and therefore the number of photocopies (credits) acquired. The cost of a single copy scales down on the basis of the introduced coins. In addition to an internal counter, the validator directly controls an external counter of accepted coins. There is also an output signal (PIN 10) which is kept enabled when the validator has availability of credit of at least the cost of one copy. This allows to signal, if you do not want to use the display, the presence of residual credits.
By means of the portable programmer the following operations can be carried out:
– setting the cost of the single copy and the two bonus levels. – enabling and reading the internal counter of accepted coins. – disabling the acceptance of the single channels. – adjusting the delay of photocopier disabling to allow, when the reset signal of the
last copy is received, the machine to regularly complete the cycle.

8. Care and maintenance

All maintenance operations on the validator must be carried out when the machine onto which the validator is installed is disconnected from the power supply.

We strongly recommend following these instructions carefully in

order to always keep the validator in the best operating conditions and to prevent dangerous situations that would make the

guarantee void.

8.1 Maintenance and external cleaning
Always keep the external surfaces of the equipment clean; to do so, we recommend using a damp cloth or a mild detergent. In case of resistant dirt, clean the surface with water and alcohol. Do not use aggressive petroleum or trichlorethylene-based chemical solvents, nor abrasive detergents or sponges that could damage the equipment. Do not submerge in or expose the equiment to water or other liquids of whatever nature. Regularly verify the equipment surfaces with special attention to those areas that, due to normal operation conditions, could represent a hazard for the user.
8.2 Maintenance and internal cleaning
The inside of the validator must be cleaned using compressed air only. Regularly check the cable connections making sure the cables do not have points that are not insulated and are not excessively twisted. Should the cables or connectors present any anomaly, replace them immediately following the indications contained in the “Spare parts” chapter, later this manual.
