Safety Instructions
1 INTRODUCTION
WARNING: Read this technical manual carefully before
installing the Combo – T
WARNING: The Hoppers and Discriminators have moving
parts inside that may cause injury. If it is necessary to carry out
any work on these mechanisms, make sure that they have
been disconnected from the power supply.

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
•Automatic recovery module for coin refund and the freeing of coin jams
•5-way sorter
•3 Hoppers or discriminators to pay out coins
•Electronic interface for control and communication
All these components are assembled on a metal chassis that incorporates the necessary coin chute for
reusing and paying out inserted coins
Communication between the devices in the Combo T and the system in which it is installed is cctalk. This
type of serial communication has been designed to allow the interconnection of different cash handling
devices (hoppers, validators...) in a bus of two lines (a bi-directional data line and ground).
The technical specification used in the electronic interface and communication protocol is as follows:
Cctalk Serial Communication Protocol
Generic Specification
Issue 4.3
The use of cctalkis open and therefore free to use.

3 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.
Figure 2: Dimensions

3.2 CONNECTION TO THE MASTER AND POWER SUPPLY
•The only electronic connection to the master device is made through the ccTalk bus, through the 10
pins on the interface board connector.
•The ccTalk bus, via parallel 10-way cable, directly connects to the coin validator, the three Hoppers
or Discriminators and I/O interface board. The interface board controls the escrow device, the motor
and recovery button.
•Make the connection with a 10-way ribbon cable of the necessary length. It should not exceed 3
meters in length.
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.
•We recommend a power supply to provide at least 4 amperes of current.
•It is necessary to take into account that if Discriminators are used, they will only work at 24VDC.

10 - 2011
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:
Coin Validator = address 2
Hopper or Discriminator 1 ( A ) = address 3
Hopper or Discriminator 2 ( B ) = address 4
Hopper or Discriminator 3 ( C ) = address 5
Interface board I/O = address 80
• All ccTalk device addresses can be changed via a ccTalk command. The hoppers or
discriminators also allow address configuration with dipswitches
3.4 CONFIGURATION OF COIN ACCEPTANCE
• From the Master, enable the acceptance of the coins to use in the validator.
• By default and after being switched on, all coins are inhibited.
• The cctalk command is used for the configuration of the inhibition [231] MODIFY INHIBIT
STATUS.
• The status of the inhibitions can be requested via the command [230] REQUEST INHIBIT
STATUS.
3.5 CONFIGURATION OF THE COINS IN THE DISCRIMINATOR
If the Combo - T incorporates Discriminators, you must define the coins the device will work with. There
are specific ccTalk commands:
•[37] DIAMETER PROGRAMMING
•[49] PROGRAMMING THE VALUE
Consult the Discriminator ccTalk protocol specification for more information.
3.6 TEST
Before switching on, it is recommended to make a functional test with the device: acceptance of coins,
classification and return.

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.

2. Sensor module
3. Outlet module
4. Reject outlet
5. Accepted coin outlet
Figure 4: Description of components of the validator
5.1.1 Technical Characteristics
•Admission of up to 32 types of different coins.
•Of these 32 coins, 2 are auto-programmable at the machine.
•High precision measurement of magnetic and physical parameters of coins due to the use of DSP
technology.
•It is compatible with the validators of 3.5” format.
•It implements the Protocol cctalk.
•It allows the tele-programming and flashing of firmware directly from the serial port.

•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.
•The lifespan is guaranteed for more than 1.000.000 services.
•It has a hardware test (perform self-check), that is requested by the machine, which informs it of any
possible anomalies that are occurring inside the validator.
5.1.2 How the validator works
The validator works as a peripheral inside the Combo T and the whole system, through the cctalk bus. It is
the system that has full control of the validator. Each time that the system is activated or a reset is
performed, the validator remains with all coins inhibited and classifies in only one direction.
Once the system to which it belongs begins communication with the validator, it informs the validator of the
coins that can be admitted and the classification that has to perform, these programmes are stored in the
RAM of the validator and can be modified in any time, but only from the machine itself.
Communication of the machine with the validator is permanent (credit polling), recording any credit or error
that could have been generated by the validator. If communication stops during 1 second or more, the
validator would stop accepting coins.
Once a coin has been inserted, it is analysed by the sensor module and if it corresponds to a programmed
coin that is not inhibited, it is automatically accepted and the machine is informed.
For more information about the different commands of operation, check the module Protocol cctalk of this
product.
