3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The BV50 Bill Acceptor is a compact bill-validating machine suitable for
most money machines. It will accept up to 16 different denominations of
bills in the serial control mode. The BV50 is designed for easy installation
in most machines with a choice of interface protocols as described in
chapter 4.3 - Protocols.
Figure 1 - The BV50 bill acceptor
Currency
The BV50 Bill Acceptor leaves the factory pre-set to at least one currency so that it is ready for immediate
installation. If it is required to change the currency dataset this may be done using the PC based Validator
Management software or with the DA3 Validator Programming System, see chapter 5 - Reprogramming the
BV50 for more details.
New currencies and applications are being tested all the time, please refer to our web site or contact your
local office for information concerning specific currencies if they are not already included on our approved
list.
Cash Box
Various size cash boxes are available for the BV50. The standard cash box will hold approximately 300
bills. Cash box spacers can be added at the factory to increase the capacity. Each spacer will add an extra
200 note capacity with a maximum of 3 spacers. This gives a maximum capacity of approximately 900
bills. (see Appendix C –Cash Box Information for more details).
The Required cash box capacity must be stated at the time of ordering. If no capacity is specified, the
standard cashbox will be delivered.
Note: cash box spacers can only be added at our factory, and once fitted cannot be removed.

BV50 Programming Mode
Press and Hold the Configuration Button for at least 2 seconds while the BV50 is powered up. The Bezel
LED will flash rapidly to indicate that the SSP interface is being loaded. Once this process has finished the
BV50 will reset. The BV50 will now be in Programming Mode (SSP) and allow connection to a PC via a DA1
or DA2 adapter or connection to a DA3.
Note: This mode can only be cancelled by re-programming with a Configuration Card or via the Validator
Manager program. Please ensure you are aware of all the BV50 programmed settings before entering this
mode. Failure to restore the original setting will stop the BV50 from operating in the host machine.
Configuration Card Programming Mode
Press the Configuration Button once while the BV50 is powered up. If done correctly the Bezel LED will
flash every 1-second. This will allow the insertion of a Configuration Card to change the Firmware Protocol
in the BV50. (See chapter 5.1 - BV50 Configuration Card for full details). This mode can be cancelled by
again pressing the Configuration Button once.
Current Setting Indicator Mode
Press the Configuration Button twice within half a second while the BV50 is powered up. The BV50 Bezel
LED will then perform a series of flashes to indicate the current settings within the bill acceptor. (See
Program Check Procedure section of Appendix D –Configuration Cards for details on decoding the flashes)
Encryption Key Reset Function (ccTalk)
Note: This function will only be possible if the BV50 is programmed to ccTalk mode. It is not possible to
reset the key from SSP mode.
Press and hold the Configuration Button while the BV50 powered is off. Apply the power and keep the
button pressed for several seconds. The ccTalk Encryption key will now be restored to the default setting..
4.2.4 HARDWARE OPTIONS
The BV50 can be used in machines with a 110V supply or an MDB machine with the addition of in-line
modules. The in-line modules connect between the BV50 16-pin connector and the host machine. It is
essential that the correct interface is programmed in the BV50 for the bill acceptor to operate correctly For
the 110V option, the SP4 firmware interface must be programmed if the bill acceptor is to be always
enabled. For the MDB option, the MDB Firmware option must be programmed. For more information on
selecting the interface, see chapter 5 - Reprogramming the BV50.
4.3 PROTOCOLS
4.3.1 SMILEY®SECURE PROTOCOL (SSP)
SSP is a secure serial interface specifically designed to address the problems experienced by cash
handling systems in gaming machines. Problems such as acceptor swapping, reprogramming acceptors
and line tapping are all addressed. This interface is recommended for all new designs. The interface uses a
master slave model, the host machine is the master and the peripherals (bill acceptor, coin acceptor or
coin hopper) are the slaves. Data transfer is over a multi-drop bus using clock asynchronous serial
transmission with simple open collector drivers. The integrity of data transfers is ensured through the use
of 16 bit CRC checksums on all packets.

Table 10 - Parallel and Binary Pin Description
Vend Signals: Pins 1-4. Each of the four channels have their own individual output. If a bill is recognized
and stacked then the relevant vend line is set low for a period of 100ms ±3%. Pulses outside these limits
should be rejected as a precaution against false triggering.
Inhibit Inputs: Pins 5-8. Channels 1 to 4 have their own inhibit input to allow the host machine to refuse
specified bills. To inhibit a channel, the relevant inhibit input must be held high. To enable a channel, the
corresponding inhibit must be latched low so that bills may be accepted.
If all four inhibits are high simultaneously then the BV50 will be disabled. In this state the bezel will not
illuminate and if a bill is inserted the motor will run in reverse preventing the insertion of the bill.
All four inhibits may be connected together to create a 'global' inhibit. In this way the BV50 may be brought
in and out of operation by the host machine.
Busy Output: Pin 9. This is a general-purpose busy signal. It is active low while the BV50 is in operation.
Escrow Control: Pin 10. Hold this pin Low to enable the single bill escrow function. (See Appendix E –
Escrow Function).

set to programming mode using the configuration.
1. Press and hold the Configuration button (>2 seconds) while the bill acceptor is powered up.
2. The bezel LED’s will illuminate. Release the configuration button. The Bezel LED’s will flash rapidly as
the SSP interface is being programmed
3. Use the ITL Bank Note Validator Currency Manager Software and select ‘set validator options’ from the
‘tools’ menu
4. The interface and other configurations can be altered to the desired settings
5. Click the apply changes button on the ‘update changes’ tab to download the new settings to the
acceptor.
Notes:
• The Bill acceptor must be set to Programming Mode (SSP) when connected to a computer or DA3 (See
Chapter 4.2.3 - Configuration Button Functions).
• The programming mode can only be cancelled by re-programming with a Configuration Card or via the
Validator Manager program. Please ensure you are aware of all the BV50 programmed settings before
entering this mode. Failure to restore the original setting will stop the BV50 from operating in the host
machine.
•ITL BNV Currency Manager 3.2.2 or higher must be used to access the BV50 functions.

5.3 VALIDATOR PROGRAMMING SYSTEM (DA3)
The DA3 is a programming system designed to enable the programming of ITL Bill Acceptors in the field
without the use of a PC.
Once the DA3 has been programmed the user can:
•Update the existing software within a bill acceptor to the latest versions using the BNV Match
Download function.
• Reprogram the bill acceptor to accept a different currency using the BNV Override Download function
• Test the functionality of the bill acceptor away from the host machine.
For full DA3 operation and functionality details please refer to the DA3 User Manual (Document number
GA339).
When programming a BV50 using the DA3 BNV Override Download function, the firmware interface is
unchanged. A Configuration Card must be used after re-programming if a different interface is required.

6 LOW POWER OPTION
Low power Mode can be used with all none serial communication protocols to reduce the power
consumption of the BV50 when idle in Parallel, Pulse and Binary Interfaces.
The BV50 goes into low power mode approximately 6 seconds after the bill acceptor is powered up and
remains in this state until a bill is entered (Time A). Following a bill insertion the BV50 returns to Low Power
mode approximately 1 second after the Busy line goes High (Time B).
NOTE:
• Low Power Mode can ONLY be used with Parallel, Pulse and Binary protocols
• Low power mode can only be enabled by correctly completing the configuration cards or via the ITL BNV
Currency Manager software
• In low power mode the front sensor is checked every 1 second which can lead to a delay in accepting the
bill when it is presented
• Configuration button functions are only available during power up before the BV50 goes into low power
mode.

7 MAINTENANCE AND RE-INITIALISATION
7.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The BV50 Bill Acceptor has been designed to minimise any performance variation over time. Much of this
is achieved by careful hardware and software design. However, depending upon the environment the BV50
may at some time require cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not use solvent based cleaners such as alcohol, petrol, methylated spirits, white spirit or pcb
cleaner. This will result in permanent damage to the bill acceptor, only use a mild detergent.
To clean, push down the latch plates on the side of the bill acceptor, and allow the stacker/cashbox
assembly to lower. The note path is now exposed for cleaning. Carefully wipe the surfaces with a soft lint
free cloth that has been dampened with a water and mild detergent solution (i.e. household washing up
liquid). Ensure the note path is clean and dry before closing the unit and inserting bills.
7.2 RE-INITIALISATION
The BV50 has an in-built self-calibration system that maintains the optical sensors at their best operating
point. However if the BV50 is disassembled for any reason it will need to be re-initialized. Re-initialization
may only be performed under license from ITL, contact [e-mail] for further
details. Re-initialization can only be performed in conjunction with the diagnostics function within the Bank
Note Validator Currency Manager.
