1. INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
This Technical Manual provides technical information corresponding to the coin validator in the
XV series which is part of the Modular range.
The coin validators are apparatus that, within the machine, and forming part of it, have the
task of selecting and validating coins introduced into the machine and can work in different
ways: parallel, credit and timer. The price of a credit or game, the time the game lasts and 2
tokens and their classification can be programmed.
In the rest of this Technical Manual the coin validators in the Modular XV range
will be called validator or validators
When the word configurable is used in the Technical Manual it means that the
parameter or characteristic it refers to can be programmed by the user to suit the
needs of the customer.
This programming is done using the PC application called HEUS (User Tool).
1.1 MODELS IN THE XV RANGE
The validators are divided into two groups depending on the sensor module:
•XV-6S
This is a validator with high sensorisation, whose sensor module has 6 optic sensors, 6
inductive sensors and one acoustic sensor. It is recommended when a high
discrimination of coins is necessary, principally for frauds.
•XV-2i
This is a validator with normal sensorisation, whose sensor module has 6 optic sensors
and 2 inductive sensors.

1.2 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
These validators are characterised by:
¾All the coin validators in the Modular range, and therefore in the XV series, are
compatible with the industry standards
¾The coin entry is in the top part.
¾The rejected/refunded coin goes to the bottom right.
Coin entry
Coin accepted Coin rejected
¾The accepted coin exit is located on the left as in the Lrange and the opposite of the A
range.
¾It has four studs on the side for its placement in the front plate.

1.3 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The most relevant technical characteristics are:
ÔIndependent sensor module which is common for all models
Made using the most advanced technology, among other things, it has a flash memory
which allows the firmware to be programmed and teleprogramming from a PC or using
the TL20 or TL21 tool.
The sensor module is interchangeable with all the other models in the Modular range,
which is a great innovation in the logistics process.
To remove the sensor module it is necessary to remove the four screws indicated by the
arrows.
ÔOutput module
As with the sensor module, it is made with the latest technology and also has a flash
memory that allows the firmware to be programmed and teleprogramming from a PC or
using the TL20 or TL21 tool.
The great innovation incorporated in this module is the configuration file that can be
changed by the user to modify all the configurable parameters and in this way adapt the
validator to the user’s necessities.
The changing of the configurable parameters is done with a PC or with an application
called HEUS (user tool).

The outlet module is unique for the different series or references that make up the
Modular range.
ÔPower supply and electrical consumptions for the standard model
The nominal voltage is 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc admitting a minimum of 10 Vdc and a
maximum of 27 Vdc.
Electrical consumption:
Powered at 12 Vcc.
Validating a coin 50 mA
Maximum (activating the
acceptance gate)
400 mA
Average per coin 235 mA
ÔAdmission of coins
The validator admits 32 types of different coins, of which 2 can be reprogrammed by
the operator on site by putting the validator in “learning” mode.

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV 7
ÔString detection system
All the models include an efficient string detection system which detects any attempt at
fraud using a string attached to a coin to obtain free credits.
String detection system
ÔMean time between failures (MTBF)
Under normal working conditions, these validators have a MTBF of 1.3 validators of
every 100 per year.
ÔMean cycles between failures (MCBF)
Under normal working conditions, these validators have a MCBF of 840,000 coins.
ÔConstruction material
The latest generation plastics resist wear and dissipate static electricity, are made of
high rigidity and are dimensionally stable at high temperatures and humidity (low
absorption levels) and resist saline deposits.
ÔRefund code
It has a system that generates a “refund code” when the validator door is opened. This
code can be activated or deactivated by the user and is generally used to indicate to the
machine that a refund is being requested.

1.4 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
1. Cover
This cover protects the electronic elements in the validator.

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV 9
2. Sensor module
This element has the majority of the parts responsible for measuring and control in the
validator. It is a common element of the validators that have the same sensor configuration.
The principle elements that the sensor module has are:
JP100: Communication bus for the
outlet module
JP101: Serial port
JP102: Programming connector

Technical information: MODULAR VALIDATOR XV 10
Inside the sensor module is the “string detector system”. An electro-mechanical system to foil
any attempt at fraud using a string tied to the coin. The system is based on an infrared beam
passing through a hole in the shutter. The beam is interrupted when the string attached to the
coin tenses and moves the shutter. The validator interprets this signal as a fraud attempt and
inhibits the coin.
The coin entry rocker is designed to
stabilize the speed at which the coins move
through the interior of the validator.
