1 Introduction
This manual describes the operation of the NV9 Bank note Validator as fitted with Firmware Version 3.15 or
greater.
Caution
•This Product must be fitted with a 2 Amp fuse before use.
•The NV9 Validator is pin for pin compatible with NV7/8/10 but NOT pin for pin compatible with the
NV2/3/4/4X or 5 series products.
We recommend that you study this manual as there are many new features permitting new uses and more
secure applications.
If you do not understand any part ofthis manual please contact the factory for assistance. In this way we may
continue to improve our product. Alternatively visit our web site at www.innovative-technology.co.uk

2: Scope of Document
This document is intended for those who will:
•Design the NV9 into items of equipment.
•Build equipment using the NV9.
•Install equipment containing the NV9.
•Maintain equipment containing the NV9.
Although information is included which will allow a degree of fault diagnosis and repair, it is recommended
that for all but simple mechanical repairs the unit be returned to an approved service centre for repair.
Caution:
•Never exceed the recommended environmental and electrical limits.
•Do not attempt to lubricate the mechanisms as this may affect the note transport.
•Do not polish the lens as this may alter the optical characteristics.
•If the NV9 Validator is disassembled the unit must be re-calibrated/re initialised, following re-
assembly.
Innovative Technology Ltd has a policy of continual product improvement. As a result the products supplied
may vary from the specification described here.

•If the input voltage falls below 11V the NV9 may not operate correctly (will reject
notes). The amber status LED and front bezel lights will flash to indicate incorrect
conditions
•It is recommended that the power supply used can supply at least 1.5Amps.

4: General Description
NV9 Validator - the next generation of Smiley® Bank Note Validators
The NV9 Bank Note System is a compact note-validating machine (see figure 1), suitable for most money
machines. It will accept up to 16 different denominations of notes in the serial control mode or 4 different
notes in parallel mode, and will cope with different designs of banknote having the same value such as are
found in the United Kingdom and Scotland.
Figure 1 – The NV9 with Vertical and Universal Bezels
The NV9 Validator leaves the factory preset to at least one currency so that it is ready for immediate
installation. If it is required to change the currency data set this may be done using either the NV9 to NV9
currency cloning system or the PC based Currency Management software.
New currencies and applications are being tested all the time, please refer to our web site or contact the
factory for information concerning specific currencies if they are not already included on our approved list.
The NV9 is designed for easy installation in most machines. The stepped “smiling mouth” allows insertion of
notes with one hand and simplifies the note handling mechanism.
Interfacing the Validator is very simple, with the choice of the following protocols:
•Parallel open collector outputs.
•Pulse stream open collector output.
•Binary open collector output.
•Smiley® Secure Protocol (SSP) secure serial communications.
•Simple serial I/O communications.
•MDB interface protocol.
•CCTalk

5: NV9 User Interface
The user interface with the NV9 is shown below (see figure 2). It is simply a set of four DIPswitches and one
red, one amber and one green LED, mounted on the top of the NV9. The DIPswitches set the basic operating
mode of the unit, while the LED’s indicate the operational status of the NV9.
Figure 2 - User Display and DIPswitch Settings
5.1:DIPswitch Settings
The four DIPswitches can be set to a combination of either up or down depending on the configuration
required for the particular NV9.
Switch 1 – Spare
Switch 1 currently has no function and is reserved for future use.
Switch 2 – pulse multiplier
This switch is used to modify the behaviour of the selected machine interface. Details of the function of this
switch are covered in the interfaces’ description in this manual.
Currently the only interface to make use of this switch is the pulse mode. In this mode the switch can be used
to multiply the number of pulses given by a factor of four. When the switch is down the multiplier is 1, when
the switch is up the multiplier is 4.
Switches 3 and 4 – Machine Interface protocol selection
These switches are used to select the machine interface to be used. The NV9 supports four interfaces, as
shown below, (see table 1).

Table 1 - Switch 3 and 4 Machine Interface Selection
The details of the parallel, pulse, and SSP can be found in the machine interface protocols section of this
manual.
The special interface depends on the firmware that is used in the NV9, the firmware shipped as standard is
the binary interface (World Wide) and CCTalk (UK only). However, there are other options that can be
downloaded by the user:
•Binary
•CCTalk
•ITL Simple serial I/O
•MDB
Information on each of these interfaces can be found in the ‘machine interfaces protocol section’ of this
manual.
5.2:LED Status Codes
The three status LED’s are located to the right of the DIPswitches on the top of the unit and are used to
indicate a variety of status signals.
The red status is used to indicate system problems, while the green status indicates system health; these are
described below in table 2.
LED Status Description
Slow flashing green led Heartbeat
(Slow = 1 second period) In normal RUN operation, when the NV9 is ready to read
a note, the green status led will flash slowly ("Heartbeat")
to signal a “healthy” status.
Flashing red one second period NV9 is jammed, somewhere in the note path
Fast flashing red (fast = half second period) NV9 cannot calibrate, sensor(s) may be blocked
Permanent Red Memory has been corrupted
Alternately flashing green then red Stacker is full
Flashing amber and bezel lights Power supply is incorrect, check specification
