3.1 Compatibility
3.1.1 Hardware Compatibility
3.1.1.1 Machine Mounting
Assuming the suitable bezel (and cashbox) type has been ordered the BV20 can be
used as fitting replacement for the following products:
•BV20
The BV20 may not be used as fitting replacement for the following products:
•BV50
•BV100
•NV150
•NV9 USB
•NV10 USB
•NV200
Innovative Technology Ltd. has a policy of continuous product improvement. Due to
design changes older model or product bezels (and cashboxes) may not be
compatible with the BV20. However, new product deliveries always include a bezel
(and cashbox) that must be used.
Caution!
Only use bezel (and cashbox)
delivered with the product!
3.1.1.2 Machine Interfacing
By design the BV20 is pin to pin compatible with the suitable fitting replacement
products listed above. No changes to existing machine harnessing are required.
3.1.1.3 Power Supply
It is vital that the BV20 is connected to a power supply being able to provide the
required power environment. A weak power supply causes malfunctioning of the
BV20 such like note rejects or missing credits. If the BV20 is used as a fitting
replacement for an older model or product we recommend to check the power
supply specifications of the machine. The power supply of the machine might be
designed for the older model or product but not suitable for the BV20. The BV20
might have higher power consumption. Refer to 9.4 for full power requirement
details of the BV20.
Caution!
A weak power supply causes
malfunctioning!

3.1.2 Software Compatibility
3.1.2.1 Interface Protocols
When using the BV20 as a fitting replacement for an older model or product some
events such like credits may be given earlier. This is due to improved firmware
routines and faster motors being used. This may cause missing events such like
credits in those host machines where timeouts are defined for the older model or
product. Please contact the machine manufacturer for full compatibility of the BV20.
Caution!
Timing issues may cause missing
events such like credits!
3.1.2.2 Re-programming
For re-programming the BV20 always use the latest version of Validator Manager
available for download on our website. Older versions may not support the BV20.
For further details on Re-programming the BV20 refer to 4.2.
Caution!
Older versions of Validator
Manager may not support the
BV20!

4SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
4.1 Introduction
The BV20 leaves the factory pre-programmed with the latest dataset and firmware
files. However, it is important to ensure your device is kept up to date with the latest
dataset and firmware. This section will give you a brief overview of the various
update possibilities with the BV20. For detailed instructions please refer to the
relevant manual package supplied with the software or contact support@innovative-
technology.com.
4.2 Software Downloads
All software from Innovative Technology Ltd is free of charge and can be
downloaded from the website www.innovative-technology.com/support/secure-
download once registered and logged in. If you are not registered, please create an
account via the Create an account form. A confirmation email will be sent to the
registered email address once all contact details have been successfully submitted.
4.3 Drivers
The ITL drivers allow you to connect any of our validators to a compatible Windows
device. If you are connecting via an IF17 then you will not need to follow this
process as they are signed Microsoft Drivers and should install automatically. If this
isn’t the case or your computer is disconnected from the network, there is a
standalone package included within the driver downloads.
4.4 Dataset/Firmware Programming
4.4.1 Validator Manager
4.4.1.1 General Description
Validator Manager is a utility which allows the user to reprogram any of ITL’s
validators, hoppers as well as coin and note recycler. Please note that admin rights
are required during installation. The validator must be in SSP for the Validator
Manager to detect the device.
4.4.1.2 System Requirements
•Windows XP SP3 or above
•.Net Framework 4
•256mb ram
•50mb hard disk free
•Connected BV20 with active com port
Caution!
We have seen instances where one
of the dll’s (itdata1.dll) used in
Validator Manager are flagged as a
Trojan, this is a false positive and if
this happens you will need to add a
rule to your antivirus to allow the
file to run.

and DA2/IF17.
4.4.1.4 Switching to Programming Mode (SSP)
Before programming via the Validator Manager software tool, the BV20 needs to be
switched to its programming mode (SSP interface). Please refer to 11.3 for the
procedure for doing this.

4.4.1.5 Programming the device
Once you have switched the unit into SSP, open Validator Manager and click detect
devices. This will scan all active com ports for a unit, if your BV20 fails to connect
please ensure the correct drivers are installed and the unit is in SSP.
By selecting the Program tab, you can reprogram the BV20. To begin the upload,
click open file, then browse to the file location (usually Downloads) before clicking
OK.
Once the file has been selected its information will be populated and the Program
device tab will become active. Finally hit ‘Program Device’, the unit’s bezel will now
begin to flash signaling the update has begun.
Caution!
Interrupting the download process
can result in the unit entering a
non-functional state, once the
process has started it cannot be
halted.
When completed the unit will restart and a pop up box will appear saying Device
Programming Complete.
