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

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.
Example: 50 p is programmed in channel 4 'normal' and in
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)
