1. General
The validator G-40 is a world-wide proven product within the standardized 5" size
for the vending machine industry. Its modular design enables optimum solutions
for all insertions- and interface configurations of the gambling, vending or service
machine area.
For reacting to counterfeit money and for possible individual adjustments, N I
offer a special adjustment programme (WinEMP). To use this software you will
need an IBM-compatible PC.
For critical coins there is the possibility to use several channels on the
G-40.0000, for instance one is programmed for ‘normal’ the other one for
‘narrow’ bandwidth. You have simply to switch over a DIL switch to select the
‘narrow' bandwidth and thus reject even more counterfeit money.
Starting with number /4 (marking within the model number)the G-40 offers the
possibility to choose from two configurations (blocks) with 12 coin channels each.
These blocks may be programmed in a different way and thus can obtain different
coin combinations. This feature is particularly suitable for flexible siwtching over
from one currency to the other.
All 12 channels of a block can be programmed with different coin types. Assigned
to 6 lines these coin types or denominations are transferred to a machine
(standard version). Alternatively it exists the S1 version with serial interface in
order to communicate with the vending machine control.
Coin acceptance: up to 12 different coin types
programmed to 6 outputs
Coin diameter: 15 to 31 mm (thickness = 3.4 mm) or
15 to 32 mm (thickness = 2.4 mm)
Coin thickness: 1.5 to max. 2.4 or 3.4 mm

National ejectors Inc. GmbH, Germany

Coin sorting: 5 chutes programmable, independent of coin parameters
Coin blocking: - one inhibit line for all coins
- single inhibit lines for each coin denomination
- a DIL-switch for blocking individual coins is provided
for each channel
Power supply: between 12 and 24 V
MCBF: Minimum coin between failures which could not be
cleared by reject operation.
MCBF > 500,000 coins referring to maximum 5 years
MTBF: Minimum time between failures for any non-coin related
failure requiring a service call (bent or humid coins,
acceptance or slug problems)
MTBF depending on the number of accepted coins,
max. 5 years
. Measuring principle
Six inductive measuring sensors which are arranged one after another, collect the
measuring values of each coin. The special arrangement of the sensors make it
possible to measure the material, thickness, volume and embossing depth of
coins. In addition, the diameter and mass are measured by optical sensors.
The obtained measurement values are compared with the acceptance bands
stored within the 12 channels. If they correspond completely with a channel the
validator values the inserted coin corresponding to the programmed output
information, unless the channel is inhibited by the appropriate DIL switch or the
appropriate input line.
After successful measurement a light barrier in the area of the acceptance gate
checks whether the inserted coins falls unhindered into the cash channel. Within
validators containing a sorting the 'accepted coin sensor' is completed by a
'sorting control'. Only after passing this additional sensor is the appropriate coin
signal given.
Thus the whole acceptance area inluding the falling direction is supervised, thus
preventing manipulations.

3. Identification label
The identification label will show you which coin denomination has been assigned to
each of the channels. A channel can be programmed either with normal, narrow or
very narrow tolerances. By having a narrower tolerance the rejection of counterfeit
money is more successful.
In addition, the identification label indicates which output will send a signal to the
vending machine after a coin has been accepted.
Within validator series with integrated 5-way sorting unit each accepted coin is
guided into one of the sorting chutes. The identification label shows the outlet number
to which the coin or channel has been assigned.

4. Coin channels
The 12 channels of the coin validator unit can be variably connected to the 6 coin
signal outputs and the 6 individual blocking inputs. It is also possible to connect
several channels to one output. Old and new coins with the same value, e. g. can
give a pulse through the same coin signal output.
On the back of the coin validator you will find 2 blocks of DIL-switches. To each
DIL-switch one of the 12 channels has been assigned. Thus you can inhibit the
acceptance of coins by actuating the DIL-switch of the corresponding channel to
be blocked.

channel 9 'narrow'

The switches 7 and 9 of the 10-pole switch arrangement 2 are reserved for future
applications. By using switch 8 you can carry out the block switch-over (see
chapter 6). In on-position switch 10 offers a write-protection of the E²P OM area
of the microcontroller.
5. Sorting
The sorting by means of flaps has been realised by the use of three magnets.
The unit can be programmed so that the coins are guided to the 5 coin outlets
independent of their parameters.
The numbering of the coin outlets starts on the back of the validator. The
customers determine the assignment of the 12 channels to these outlets. The
appropriate information is stored in a programming table in the memory of the
validator.

6. Block switch-over
Starting with modell no. G-40../4.. the validator offers the possibility to have two
configurations, independent from each other. To each of these 'blocks' 12
individual coin channels are assigned with appropriate tables (denominations,
sorting information etc). The programming is done either at N I or at a service
station. Although both blocks are programmed you can only work with one of
them.
This type of validator can be recognized by the label with the extended indications
(see chapter 3).
This function is ideal for storing additionally to the actual currency a second coin
combination with individual interface information (table). For example in case of a
currency conversion the actual settings are deactivated and the new ones are
actived. A further application can be if independent from the currency an alternati-
ve vending machine interface is selected.
For all standard devices the switch-over is done by only one DIL switch:
block switch-over
On the rear of the G-40 two switch arragement are positioned. For switching over
from block 0 to block 1 please use swtich No. 8 of the lower switch. Please
proceed as follows:
* Switch off power supply
* Switch on switch no. 8
- lower position = only block 0 active (left side on label)
- upper position = only block 1 active (right side on label)
* Switch on power supply
* Check coin acceptance (please refer to label)

8.1. BDTA Standard
The Bundesverband der Deutschen Tabakwaren-Großhändler und Automaten-
aufsteller determined the DTG standard 2 for the electrical interface to the
machine. This standard include the specification of the supply voltage, the coin
signal lines, blocking functions and the return signal. In addition to further
standardisation requirements for validators the measurement quality of validators
is also specified.

8.1.3 Interface

8. AWP (amusement with prize) devices according to BACTA standard
or SWP
For AWP and SWP machines in the gambling machine area a parallel interface
is used mainly which is established in the BACTA standard. For coin signals a
15-pole exists, as well as a 17-pole connection. The behaviour of the validator
with this interface differs in parallel and binary mode.
8. .1 Parallel Mode
As soon as the select line is 'high' or is not used the machine receives the
appropriate interface signals at the 15- or 17-pole connection. Via internal tables
the output lines and single inhibit lines, as well as the assigment of the routing
plug are assigend to a coin channel. At the routing plug a coin can be guided by a
bridge to another chute (B,C,D) of the sorting adapter.
8. . Binary Mode
The validator switches to the binary mode if the select line is 'low' and confirms
this on the output line 6 (IDENT). In this mode the output line 4 is used as
ST OBE. The remaining 4 signal lines are programmed in the 'fault tolerant'
mode.
This special coding of the coin outlet information prevents the possibility to obtain
a higher credit by manipulation and contact problems.
8. .3 Sorting Control
By three magnets and a flap control coins are guided to 4 coin chutes of the
validator independent of their coin parameter. The outlets of the sorting adapter
are marked with A,B,C and D (see next page). Each coin outlet can be defined
as the cashbox chute. The assignment is programmed at N I according to
customers' requirements.

8. .4 Routing Plug
At the 18-pole connector the coin channels can be guided by appropriate bridges
to the sorting chutes B,C and D of the sorting adapter. All 12 coin channels can
be assigned to the lines 1 to 6 of the routing plug to enable wide and narrow coin
channels, as well as token validation.
Contrary to the BACTA standard chute A can be also used for diversion of coins.
8. .5 Sorter Override
By the override plug a tube full recognition is given to the validator. If the
appropriate pin of the plug is switched to 'low' the coin for this sorting chute is
diverted as programmed in the sorting table. In addition the coin can also be
guided into the cashbox chute. The required operation can be programmed by an
internal function bit. Thus a 'Default Sorting' is also feasible without a routing
plug.

National ejectors Inc. GmbH, Germany
18
8. .6 Dual Coin Rundown
Via this plug the coin or token route via a dual coin rundown is recognized
automatically. If a token is inserted the channels 5, 10 and 11 are enabled, whilst
if a coin is inserted the remaining channels are enabled. Thus it is possible to
adjust the acceptance bands wider and an overlapping with coins is excluded.
8. .7 Switchable Sorting
By using the switches 7 and 8 of the blocking switch S1 four different sorting
combinations of the coins can be set. The selection of the alternative sorting ways
S1 to S3 is done by binary method, whereby the values of the two switches can
be seen below.
The sorting combination S0 is determined in a table within the EEP OM. This
table can be reprogrammed at any time.
The coin outlets for the sorting ways S1 to S3 are fixed combinations stored in
the OM.

8. .7.1 Sorting priority
If the routing plug is used to divert coins in case of a full tube, the coins are first
sorted in way D, then in way C, etc. This standard setting can be modified by
means of switch 7 of switch block S2.
