Dear Customer,
we would like to thank you and congratulate for your choice. We trust that you will appreciate the quality and performance of the
CMS ARM ccTalk pcb for Money-Changer machines.
1 Introduction
The ChangeOne CMS ARM p.c. board is equipped with a high performing ARM microprocessor, enabling a large
number of functions. The “Full” version of the CMS Arm pcb (CMS Arm “F”) is equipped with back-up battery and can
support POS terminals (Nayax, Worldline Valina, PayTer).
Any of these two pc boards can be configured by the Operator to manage various peripheral units, so as to create simple
change systems or multifunctional change systems. They can also replace the old CMS Freescale, by interposing a Hub
pcb for the connection of the peripheral devices (see section 7).
It manages the following peripheral units (see chapter 5.0 for the possible settings):
- ccTalk AL66S or AL66 FG coin acceptors.
- Up to 2 x dispensing ccTalk HopperOneS11 or HopperCD or Hoppers Discriminator Alberici.
- ccTalk BillyOne or OryOne note validator.
- ACS reader for RFID cards and keys.
- [only CMS Arm “F”] POS terminal (Nayax, Worldline Valina, PayTer) via interface
Available functions:
- Change of notes / coins into 1 or 2 coin/token denomination(s), or 3 coin denominations (HopperDiscriminator)
- Purchase of tokens, with or without Bonus
- Load of credit on RFID User Cards and Keys by ACS reader
- Control of status of the system and of accounts via display (via on-board buttons or external keypad)
- Programming via menu (by on-board board keys)
2 Mounting and size
The board and the LCD display are pre-assembled on a transparent polycarbonate support (overall size: 157 x 49 x
45 mm). Track the positions of the 4 holes for the fixing studs on the polycarbonate screen. Distance between holes is
105x35mm. Studs, nuts and related small parts are not supplied with the board.
Please read carefully this handbook, to obtain the most from your device.

3. Power supply and connections
3.0 Generals
Power the board by 24 Vdc and 12 Vdc on the 4p connector (PWR IN in the figure). The pc board is not equipped
with ccTalk sockets for the peripheral devices, so ccTalk data line is provided on the same 4p PWR IN socket.
Power to the p.c. board must therefore be supplied through a Hub p.c. board that also bears the sockets for the
ccTalk peripheral devices (see section 3.1).
Data:
NOMINAL VOLTAGE INPUT:
12 Vdc (+/-5%), 6 A max and 24 Vdc(+/-5%), 3 A max
DISPLAY:
5 Vdc, 200 mA
BANKNOTE VALIDATOR:
12 Vdc, 4 A / 24 Vdc, 2,5 A (OryOne)
COIN ACCEPTOR:
12 Vdc, 500 mA
HOPPER (max.):
24 Vdc, 2 A
PUSHBUTTON ILLUMINATION (max. draw / each):
100 mA
Alberici can provide the 340W power box that is used in Alberici machines.
3.1 Connections and Pin-outs
P7: an electric lock or a pushbutton, connected between pins 1 and 2 of connector, allows to start the manual refill procedure, or to
reset the message of remaining credit.
However, the set up menu incorporates already the access to manual refill (see section 5.2.11), as well as to the automatic reset of
residual credit when the system is restarted (see section 5.2.12), without any need to use the mentioned electrical connections.

4. Operation
Pushbuttons connected to sockets P6 and P8 on the pc board allow the User to SELECT the denomination that he
wants to receive as change (coin) or that he wants to purchase (token). The pushbutton connected to P8 also
allows the User to CHOOSE THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE she/he prefers to interact with. English, French, German,
Italian and Dutch are available; other languages and currencies can be configured by using the Alberici Babbel
Software - please see relevant Instructions).
The pushbutton connected to P5 allows the user to CONFIRM his choice.
When only one hopper is connected, only two pushbuttons must be used: CONFIRM (connected to P5), and
SELECT (connected to P8). If the 1-hopper system is used with a POS terminal, connect the SELECT pushbutton
to socket P6; in such a combination, no LANGUAGE function will be available.
The CPU offers two different modes of operation, depending on whether the operation mode is set to AUTOMATIC
MODE or to MANUAL MODE, and to COINS / COINS+RETURNED CHANGE or TOKENS.
It is possible to operate the POS terminal only if:
- the CPU board is CCS ARM type;
- the Menu Dispensing Mode has been set to TOKENS only (no TOKENS+Change) (see section 5.2.4);
- the POS option in the Menu has been ENABLED (see section 5.2.4.3);
4.1 MANUAL MODE
4.1.1 CASH: when inserted money reaches the lowest value of token or coin, the button(s) will lit up green . Press
the button corresponding to the change (token) desired. If the CPU is set to Tokens+Change, it will be possible to
choose the desired number of tokens.
If the CPU is set to Tokens or to Tokens+Change, and the Bonus has been set, introduce money until the searched
amount is reached, then press the OK button.
4.1.2POS: POS operation is available if the CPU menu has been set up to deliver Tokens only.
If the CPU is set for dispensing Coins, POS operation will be automatically disabled. Moreover, POS will be
available only if the system is equipped with single-coin Hoppers: if the system includes multi-coin Hopper
Discrimjnator, the software shall make the POS option unavailable.
The display prompts to touch the “SEL“ button if purchase by credit/debit card is desired:
Press the “SEL“ button, the display will show:
- Lean your ChipCard against the POS Terminal: you will be invited to select how many tokens must be purchased:
touch the “SEL” buttons as many times as necessary to obtain the desired quantity. Then confirm by the OK button.
SEL+ … SEL - > OK
- You will now be prompted to choose the value of the tokens that
must be purchased (that is, which denomination; that is, from which
hopper): make your choice, ex. 1€ Token:
-then press the “OK” button, so that the CPU will make
the hopper dispense the selected number of tokens:
and the bank network will deduct the equivalent amount from your account.
Please notice: if, within 30 seconds after having pressed the SEL- button, the User has not continued
the payment steps, the system returns to stand-by.

4.2 AUTOMATIC MODE
4.2.1 CASH: when a note or coin is inserted, the credited amount is displayed, and the control board starts the
pay-out by the hopper(s). The pay-out will contain coins from both the hoppers. If the CPU is set to
Tokens+Change, all the tokens that can be bought by the inserted sum will be dispensed, and change will be
returned if any. At the end of the payout cycle, the display will show both the inserted amount as well as the
amount paid out.
4.2.1.A PAY-OUT TABLE ENABLED AND PROGRAMMED: when a note or coin is inserted, the display
shows the credited amount, and the hopper shall automatically pay-out according to the combination that the
Operator has pre-programmed for the amount inserted (see section 5.2.4.3 DISPENSING MODE SETUP). By
enabling such pay-out table from the menu settings, the User will only be able to get the tokens and/or coins
that can be bought by the inserted money, according to the combination preset by the Operator. See the setting
flow-chart in section 5.2.4.3.
4.2.2 POS: POS payments shall only allow to obtain tokens. If the CPU is set for dispensing coins, POS operation
will be automatically disabled. POS will be available only if the hoppers in the system are single-coin; in systems
including multi-coin Hoppers (Discriminators) the configuration menu shall make the POS option unavailable.
Operation takes place as described in section 4.1.2 POS above, with the provision that the User will be able to
choose only among the payment levels preset by the Operator.
Please notice: if, within 30 seconds after having pressed the SEL- button, the User has not
continued the payment steps, the system returns to stand-by.
WARNING: If there are not enough coins/tokens in the hopper to fulfil the whole payout request, the remaining
credit shall be displayed and retained in memory. Pawer off the system, fill the hoppers, and switch on again:
the remaining credit shall be paid out.
An alternative option is to set the Remaining Credit Menu (see section 7.3.14) so as to cancel the remaining
credit - and at the same time record it in the Accounts menu - by switching the system off and on again.
4.3RECHARGE OF CARD / KEY
When equipped with the ACS Card/Key reader (see 7.3.5D), the Money Changer can operate as recharger of
credit for User Card/Keys. These can then be used to purchase services or goods from nearby self-service
dispensers or distributor kiosks, provided that the ACS readers in such kiosks have been initialized with the
same PIN as the one programmed in the CPU. When the User Card/Key is in the Hira ACS reader, and money
is introduced, the display will prompt for pressing any green-lit button to load the credit onto the Card/Key.
4.4 OPERATIONS WITH RFID CARD/KEYS
If the system is equipped with the ACS Reader for the RFID Card/Keys, it is possible to use such Card/Keys to
obtain or perform useful functions, according to which type of Card/Key is inserted.
4.4.1 Operation with User Card/Key
When inserting a compatible RFID User Card/Key (must be
initialized with the same password as the RFID reader - see
section 7.3.5D SET UP CASHLESS), the available credit gets
shown, and a pushbutton will lit up and flash green.
If more credit must be loaded, insert coins and/or notes
until the desired value is attained, then wait until the
storing message (“Data are being stored”) disappears,
then remove the Card/Key now loaded with new credit.
The Card/Key can now be used to buy services/products
from systems equipped with ACS reader provided that such
ACS readers too have been initialized with the same password as the RFID reader in the system.

4.4.2 Operation with Service or Master Card/Key (see also section 5.2.4.4)
Insert the Service Card/Key (white) or the Master Card/Key (black) in the ACS reader to get access to the Service
Menu (no need to open the cabinet in which the system is housed). The Service menu allows to: 1) initialize the
User Card/Keys, as well as to 2) check the Accounts Data. By the Service Card/Key, operators can reset the Partial
Accounts. By the Master Card/Key, the operator can reset all Accounts data and can also - if the CPU is connected
to the printer - print out the Account records (see steps at foot next page).

5.2.4.3 DISPENSING MODE SETUP
Allows to choose among dispensing COINS or TOKENS or TOKENS+CHANGE, and among MANUAL DISPENSING MODE.
The value in the hoppers are set by this sub-menu. Level of the coins in the hopper(s) can be se as monitored or not.
(*)
NOTICE: monitoring of level sensors is disabled by default. This means that the board does not know when the
hopper is empty, so it will send the pay-out command even if there are no coins available. When the hopper runs out
of coins during dispensing or at the end of payment, no warning will be displayed. If the empty state is detected when
powering the unit, this one shall not accept any money.
If instead the monitoring has been enabled, and there are not enough coins in the hopper, the display will warn that
the hopper is empty. There will usually remain 20 coins approximately, so as to complete the change payout.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION: if the CPU must be re-configured from token (or token + return change)
dispenser to coin changer, always do reset to DEFAULT CONFIGURATION and RESET ACCOUNTS. Else, the
bonus setting could produce inconsistency in the Accounts records.
SETTING THE PAY-OUT TABLE
When the Pay-out Table is enabled, the Operator can configure 8 different combinations of change, each of them
related to the amount introduced by the User.
Once set the LEVEL box to a determined amount (typically, coin and note denominations), HP1 and HP2 can be set to:
- number of pieces so that their calculation sums up to the amount set in the LEVEL box, if change in cash is handled;
- any desired value, if Tokens only will be handled -this will allow for awarding bonus as well;
- any consistent combination, if Tokens and return change will be handled.
When choosing to enable the Pay-Out Table, the display will prompt you to set the payout combination for the first level
available (LEV1). To set it up, highlight LEV1 by “OK” and set its value by the “+”button, then confirm by “OK”. The
cursor will shift to the HP1 box: confirm by “OK”, and set its value by the “+” button (modify by “-“), then confirm by
“OK”, and do the same for HP2. When confirming the value in HP2, the chosen combination for LEV1 will be shown.
Step from LEV1 up to LEV2 by “+”, highlight LEV2 by “OK”, and repeat above process.

OPERATION AFTER SETTING THE PAY-OUT TABLE:
when the User inserts money corresponding to any of the programmed levels, the hoppers will pay out the
combination of pieces that the Operator has pre-programmed for the amount inserted (see section 6.1.A).
SETTING THE PAY-OUT TABLE:
Let us assume that HP1 has been set to 1 €, and that HP2 has been set at 0,10€.
Press OK when prompted by the message “Set up Token/Change-Enable” to
confirm that you want to set the Pay-out Table. Level 1 will be shown:
LEVEL 1: Press “OK”, then by the “+” key set LEV1 to the first denomination that you want to accept, for instance
0,20€. Confirm by “OK”; the display will automatically set HP2 = 2, i.e. two 0,10€ coins would be paid against 0,20€.
Confirm until you get:
Take care: “<LEV 1 HP1 HP2>”,
not “<LEV1> HP1 HP2”!
PRESS “+” FOR LEVEL 2 (or PRESS REPEATEDLY “+” TO EXIT).
LEVEL 2: By “OK”, confirm LEV2. By “+”, set LEV2 to 0,50€ and confirm. HP2 will automatically set to 5 pieces.
Confirm until “ <LEV 2 HP1 HP2>” (not “<LEV2> HP1 HP2” !) shows again.
PRESS “+” FOR LEVEL 3 (or PRESS REPEATEDLY “+” TO EXIT).
LEVEL 3: By “OK”, confirm LEV3.
By “+”, set Level 3 to 1,00€ and confirm. HP1 will automatically set to 1 piece (1€).
By the “-” button, change HP1 to 0 and press OK; by the “+” button, set HP2 to 10 (10x0,10€)
Confirm until <LEV 3 HP1 HP2> shows again.
PRESS “+” FOR LEVEL 4 (PRESS REPEATEDLY “+” TO EXIT).
LEVEL 4: By “OK”, confirm LEV5.
By “+”, set Level 4 to 2,00€ and confirm. HP1 will automatically set to 2 pieces (2 x 1€).
You can set the pay-out table so as dispense any of the following combinations: (A) 2x1€ coins, or (B) 1x1€ +
10x0,10€ coins, or else (C) 20x0,10€ coins.
Suppose choosing the combination (C): by the “-” button, change HP1 to 1 (1x1€ coins) and press OK. By the “+”
button, set HP2 to 10 (10x0,10€)
Confirm until <LEV 4 HP1 HP2> shows again.

The following warning:
is accompanied by the system check. For instance, the following sliding warnings:
stand for:
the coin acceptor is not connected, the note validator is faulty, and hopper 1 is properly working.
The following error messages can possibly appear:
the mentioned peripheral unit (coin acceptor, or note validator, or
Hopper, and so on is connected and functioning
the mentioned peripheral unit has been disconnected or is absent
the mentioned peripheral unit is connected but faulty
the Hopper is empty
The message means that coins have run out during the payout. Or, it it is set
to pay out Tokens, the message means that the unit has received more money than the exact price of one
token or of an N number of Tokens. It will therefore be necessary to add up money enough to allow the machine
to dispense at least one more Token.
In case coins or Tokens have run off, switch power off, fill the hopper(s) up, and switch power on again: the
machine will complete the payout. If you do not want the unit to show this message, see section 5.2.12.
6.2 Codice RI (RI Code) - (Control Board is blocked)
When this message appears, keep the 3 buttons behind the display pressed for 5 seconds.
The ‘Code RI’ message means that there has been an event that disabled the EPROM. If and when it pops up,
hold down the 3 OK, UP e DOWN keys at the same time for 5 seconds.
Such operation will reset the CPU to its default configuration. It will then be necessary to re-program the setup
according to the needs.
In case that the ‘Code RI’ message pops up again after releasing the 3 keys, it means that the EPROM has
been damaged: it will be necessary to replace the board.
