4MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
4.1 Power Supply
It is vital that the NV9 Spectral is connected to a power supply being able to provide
the required power environment. A weak power supply causes malfunctioning of the
NV9 Spectral such like note rejects or missing credits. If the NV9 Spectral is used as
a fitting replacement for an older model or product it is recommended 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 NV9 Spectral.
The NV9 Spectral might have higher power consumption. Refer to 3.4 for full power
requirement details of the NV9 Spectral.
Caution!
A weak power supply causes
malfunctioning!
4.2 Software Compatibility
4.2.1 Interface protocols
When using the NV9 Spectral 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 NV9
Spectral.
Caution!
Timing issues may cause missing
events such like credits!
4.2.2 Re-programming
For re-programming the NV9 Spectral contact ITL support. For further details on Re-
programming the NV9 Spectral refer to 5.4.
Caution!
Older versions of Validator
Manager may not support the NV9
Spectral!

4.3 Bezel Mounting
4.3.1 Bezel Removal
1. Bezel release catch
•The bezel is removed by pushing the red bezel latches down on both sides of
the validator downwards, and sliding the bezel away from the bezel latches.
ensure the bezel has slid forward enough to clear the steep part of the latch.
1. Push release catch

2. Dislocating the bezel from locating pins
•Lift the bezel upwards once it has been slid forward and is clear of the locating pins,
the process should not be forceful.

4.3.2 Bezel Fitting
1. Positioning the bezel for fitting
•When fitting the bezel onto the validator ensure that it sits in place such that
it is ready to push down into place, then push down the bezel.
2. Sliding the bezel into place
•Once the bezel is in place with respect to the locating
pins, slide the Bezel back until it clicks into place.
ensure that both sides have clicked into place.
WARNING!
Ensure bezel is secured to

5MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
5.1 Introduction
Depending upon the environment the NV9 Spectral is running in it may require
cleaning, belt changing or note path clearing.
5.2 Cleaning the NV9 Spectral
Disconnect the power BEFORE carrying out any cleaning operations to avoid the
risk of causing damage to the validator.
5.2.1 Recommended cleaning intervals
Clean the optical lenses every 6 months or more if the unit is in a particularly harsh
environment. Dirt, dust or other residue leads to bad note acceptance and other
performance degradation. Please refer to the section below for comprehensive
cleaning instructions.
5.2.2 Cleaning the validator
Do not use solvent based cleaners such as
alcohol, petrol, methylated spirits, white spirit
or PCB cleaner. Using these solvents can
cause permanent damage to the units; only
use a mild detergent solution as directed
below.
5.2.2.1 Housing assembly cleaning
•The upper housing assembly contains vital sensors for required for optimum
operation of the validator, dirt can obscure the light paths which can lead to
failure in sensing the note, therefore upper housing assembly should be
cleaned using a lint free cloth.
WARNING!
Do not use solvent based cleaners
such as alcohol, Petrol, methylated
spirits, white spirit or PCB cleaner

5.2.3 Lozenge removal and cleaning
0
1. Locking clip removal
•The lozenge is secured into place via a locking clip. To remove the lozenge
the locking clip must be removed. Ensure that the cashbox has been removed
initially to gain access to the locking pin on the underside of the main housing
assembly.
•On the underside of the main housing assembly, the locking pin will be visible
which will be secured into place by a latch which is part of the main housing
assembly mould. Lifting the locking pin upwards and pushing it towards the
bezel will free it.

2. Detaching the lozenge from the housing assembly
•The Lozenge assembly is secured into place via the latches attached to the
lozenge, pushing the lozenge latch (both, Left and right) forwards will release
the Lozenge out of the housing assembly.
3. Cleaning the lozenge
•A lint free cloth dampened with water and containing a mild detergent (such
as dish detergent) can be used to clean the belts on the lozenge, ensure both
the top and bottom parts of the lozenge are cleaned.
