BV100 Programming Mode
Press and Hold the Configuration Button for at least 2 seconds whilst the BV100 is
powered up. The Bezel LED will flash rapidly to indicate that SSP is being loaded. Once this
process has finished the BV100 will reset. The BV100 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 BV100 programmed
settings before entering this mode. Failure to restore the original setting will stop the
BV100 from operating in the Host machine.
Configuration Card Programming Mode
Press the Configuration Button once whilst the BV100 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 BV100. (See chapter 4.4 Using BV100 Configuration
Cards 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 whilst the BV100 is powered up.
The BV100 Bezel LED will then perform a series of flashes to indicate the current settings
within the validator. (See Program Check Procedure, Appendix D - Configuration Cards)
Encryption Key Reset Function (ccTalk®)
Note: This function will only be possible if the BV100 is programmed to ccTalk® mode. It is
not possible to reset the key from SSP mode. Press and hold the Configuration Button whilst the
BV100 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.
4.3 PROTOCOLS
ITL strongly recommends the use of a Serial protocol (Preferably SSP) to achieve the
highest security.
BV100 Operations Manual 10

Copyright Innovative Technology Ltd 2008 GA717
4.3.1 SMILEY®SECURE PROTOCOL - SSP
NOTE: Please refer to the Smiley®Secure Protocol (SSP) Specification (ITL Drawing
GA138) on the web site for full details of the SSP protocol. To use SSP mode, the SSP
interface must be programmed into the validator via the Configuration Cards (See Appendix
D - Configuration Cards) or via the ITL BNV Currency Manager Program, or by pressing and
holding the Configuration Button for more than 2 seconds.
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 (note 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.
Each SSP device of a particular type has a unique serial number; this number is used to
validate each device in the direction of credit transfer before transactions can take place.
Commands are currently provided for coin acceptors, note acceptors and coin hoppers. All
current features of these devices are supported.
Features:
· Serial control of Note / Coin Validators and Hoppers
· 4 wire (Tx, Rx, +V, GND) system
· RS232 (TTL) - open collector driver
· High Speed 9600 Baud Rate
· 16 bit CRC error checking
· Data Transfer Mode
Benefits:
· Proven in the field
· Simple and low cost interfacing of transaction peripherals.
· High security control of payout peripherals.
· Defence against surrogate validator fraud.
· Straight forward integration into host machines.
· Remote programming of transaction peripherals
· Open standard for universal use.
For detailed information and full protocol specification please refer to SSP Interface
Specification ITL (GA138), this is available from the ITL website www.innovative-
technology.co.uk.
To help in the software implementation of the SSP, ITL can provide DLL controls and Visual
Basic applications on request. Please contact [email protected] for
more information.
BV100 Operations Manual 11

Copyright Innovative Technology Ltd 2008 GA717
4.3.2 CCTALK® PROTOCOL – CCT
The BV100 supports the ccTalk serial protocol for easy interfacing with host machines that
support this protocol. To use ccTalk®mode, the CCT interface must be programmed into the
validator via the Configuration Cards (See Appendix D - Configuration Cards) or via the ITL BNV
Currency Manager Program.
Pin out connections on BV100 for ccTalk are
shown (see Figure 6) looking at the connection
pins on the BV100 interface connector as defined
in the ccTalk specification. It is recommended
that all communications with the note validator
must be encrypted using the encryption key, the
default encryption key will be printed on the label
of the BV100. To reset the Encryption key to its
default value sees Chapter 4.2.3. NOTE: For
detailed information and full protocol
specification please refer to www.cctalk.org.
4.3.3 MULTI-DROP BUS/INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL (MDB/ICP)
To use the MDB mode an MDB BV100 or an IF5 interface box can be used. The MDB
interface must be programmed into the validator via the Configuration Cards (See Appendix
D - Configuration Cards) or via the ITL BNV Currency Manager program.
Note:
· An IF5 cannot be used with an MDB BV100.
· A standard BV100 can only be used in MDB with the addition of an IF5 interface.
· Please refer to the Multi-Drop Bus specification for the suggested current drive circuits
available.
· The BV100 supports the MDB protocol version 1, level 1.
· For detailed information and full protocol specification please refer to www.vending.org
MDB defines a serial bus interface used
in electrically controlled vending machines
(see Figure 7).
This is a 9600 Baud Master-Slave system where
the BV100 Banknote Validator is a slave to a
master controller. A master has the capability of
communicating with 32 peripherals or slaves. The
master is defined as the Vending Machine
Controller (VMC). The BV100 banknote Validators
have a unique address – 00110XXX binary (30H).
The VMC polls the bus to detect presence
of the BV100 Validator or get information on
the current status of the validator.
The validators will respond when asked for activity with an acknowledgment, a negative
acknowledgment or a specific reply, depending on its current status. Bus crashes are
avoided as the Validators respond to being polled only by the VMC.
The international country code must be set for the country in which the Validators will be
operating. This is either the international telephone code for that country, or the country
code taken from ISO4217. The code is represented as two bytes. The initial digit signifies
the source of the code. 0 signifies the telephone code is used, 1 signifies ISO4217 has
been used.
BV100 Operations Manual 12

Copyright Innovative Technology Ltd 2008 GA717
For the USA the country code is 00 01, or 18 40
For Great Britain the code is 00 44, or 18 26.
The scaling factor must also be specified for each Validator. All accepted note values must
be evenly divisible by this number.
· This number would be set to 100 (Hex 64) for the Euro or Great Britain.
· The number would be set to 1000 (Hex 03E8) for Colombia.
The number of decimal places must also be programmed for each Validator
· The number would be set to 2 for Euro or USA
· The number would be set to 3 for Colombia
Adopting the numbers above.
· £5 would be displayed as 5.00
· £10 would be displayed as 10.00
· $1 would be displayed as 1.00
· 1K Colombia would be displayed as 1.000
4.3.4 SERIAL INPUT/OUTPUT – SIO
Existing Smiley® NV4 - NV10 users may already be using the serial input/output facility
in conjunction with the parallel inputs. The BV100 Validator also supports this system.
However this interface is not recommended for new designs, the Smiley®Secure Protocol
SSP interface is recommended.
CAUTION
· The BV100 does not support the simple serial data out only mode as available on NV4
and earlier models NV2 and NV3. It only supports the serial data input/output mode.
· The host machine does not echo messages back to the validator.
· The BV100 does not operate in true RS232 mode. (Only TTL level).
To use Serial Input/Output mode, the SIO interface must be programmed into the validator
via the Configuration Cards (See Appendix D – Configuration Cards) or via the ITL BNV
Currency Manager Program.
There are 4 different combinations of SIO available:
SIO 300 Baud
SIO 300 Baud (Disabled at Start up) - A software enable must be sent to enable the
validator.
SIO 9600 Baud
SIO 9600 Baud (Disabled at Start up) - A software enable must be sent to enable the
validator.

programmed into the validator via the Configuration Cards (See Appendix D –
Configuration Cards) or via the ITL BNV Currency Manager Program.
Vend Signals: (Pins 1 to 4). The four channels have their own individual outputs. If a note
is recognised then the relevant Vend line is set low for a period of 100 ± 3 ms. Pulses
outside these limits should be rejected as a precaution against false triggering.
Busy Output: (Pin 9). This is a general-purpose busy signal. It is active low while the
BV100 is in operation.

Escrow Control: (Pin 10) Hold this pin Low to enable the single note escrow function. (See
Appendix E – Escrow Control). If the host machine aborts the transaction by setting the
corresponding inhibit input high, the note is returned immediately.
The host machine can force the return of the note to the customer by setting the inhibit
line high, at any time before the end of the 30 second time-out. Setting high all the
inhibits causes a note reject.
In the event of a note being forcibly removed from the mouth of the BV100 during the 30-
second interval, the BV100 will go out of service for 45 seconds.
Inhibit Operation: (Pins 5 – 8) Channels 1 to 4 have their own inhibit input to allow the
host machine to refuse specified notes. 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 notes may be accepted.
If all four inhibits are high simultaneously then the BV100 will be disabled. In this state
the bezel LED will not illuminate and if a note is inserted the motor will run in reverse
preventing the insertion of the note.
All four inhibits may be connected together to create a ‘global’ inhibit. In this way the
BV100 may be brought in and out of operation by the host machine.
It is possible to operate the BV100 in Low power mode with the Parallel interface. For
further details please see Chapter 5.
4.3.6 PULSE STREAM OUTPUT
To use pulse stream output for acceptance of up to 16 note/channel acceptance, The
Pulse interface must be programmed into the validator via the Configuration Cards (See
Appendix D – Configuration Cards) or via the ITL BNV Currency Manager Program.
Vend Signal: (Pins 1) When a note is recognised vend 1 will pulse a pre set number
of times, the number of pulses can be set via the ITL BNV Currency Manager Program
(and set to default values with supplied dataset). The pulse width can be set either with
the ITL BNV Currency Manager Program or via the Configuration Cards (See Appendix D
- Configuration Cards)
Busy Output: (Pin 9). This is a general-purpose busy signal. It is active low while the
BV100 is in operation.
Escrow Control: (Pin 10). No escrow function in this mode
Inhibit Operation: (Pins 5 – 8) Channels 1 to 4 have their own inhibit input to allow the
host machine to refuse specified values of notes. 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 notes may be accepted.
If all four inhibits are high simultaneously then the BV100 will be disabled. In this state the
bezel will not illuminate and if a note is inserted the motor will run in reverse preventing
the insertion of the note.
BV100 Operations Manual 16

Copyright Innovative Technology Ltd 2008 GA717
Note: Channels higher than four cannot be individually inhibited, but will be globally
inhibited if inhibits 1 to 4 are inhibited.
It is possible to operate the BV100 in Low power mode with the Pulse interface. For
further details please see Chapter 5.
Credit Hold Function:
If this function is enabled in pulse mode by Configuration card or ITL BNV Currency
Manager Program, the validator will take the note as normal but then wait until the
escrow line is toggled low/high before. It will then give out the number of pulses per dollar
as set on the programming card. After the pulses have been given, the validator will then
wait for another low/high toggle until the full value of credit pulses are given.
For example with a setting of 2 pulses per dollar, a five dollar bill will give 2 pulses, 5
times.
A Typical use of this option would be for a Pool table with a game price of $1. You
could insert a $5 note and press a button that toggles the escrow line and releases the
pool balls, this would then allow you to play the first game. The Validator holds onto the
remaining credits until the game has finished and the button is pressed again allowing the
next game to begin, this continues until all the credits have been used.
The busy line remains low throughout the whole process and the validator remains
inhibited until all pulses are given.
4.3.7 BINARY OUTPUT – BIN
To use Binary mode the Binary interface must be programmed into the validator via the
Configuration Cards (See Appendix D – Configuration Cards) or via the ITL BNV Currency
Manager Program.
In the event that the machine needs more than 4 notes to be recognised, but the host
machine cannot take advantage of the serial communication methods then the BV100
can be set to give a binary pattern output on the four parallel output pins. If the BV100 is
set to binary mode it will issue the vend signals as a binary pattern on the parallel outputs
for 100 ± 3 ms. In this way a maximum of 15 different notes can be accepted and 4 notes
individually inhibited.
Vend Signals: (Pins 1 to 4). The four channels have their own individual outputs. If a note
is recognised the binary representation of the channel number will be pulled low for 100
± 3 ms. Pulses outside these limits will be rejected as a precaution against false triggering
due to noise.
Busy Output: (Pin 9). This is a general-purpose busy signal. It is active low while the
BV100 is in operation.
Escrow Control: (pin 10). Hold this pin Low to enable the single note escrow function. (See
Appendix E – ESCROW Control).
If the host machine aborts the transaction by setting the corresponding inhibit input high
on pin 10, the note is returned immediately.
The host machine can force the return of the note to the customer by setting the inhibit
line high, at any time before the end of the 30 second time-out. Setting all the inhibits
high causes a note reject.
In the event of a note being forcibly removed from the mouth of the BV100 during the 30-
second interval, the BV100 will go out of service for 45 seconds.

Inhibit Operation: (Pins 5 – 8) Channels 1 to 4 have their own individual inhibit input to
allow the host machine to refuse specified values of notes. 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 notes may be accepted.
If all four inhibits are high simultaneously then the BV100 will be disabled. In this state the
bezel will not illuminate and if a note is inserted the motor will run in reverse preventing
the insertion of the note.
Note: Channels higher than four cannot be individually inhibited, but will be globally
inhibited if inhibits 1 to 4 are inhibited. It is possible to operate the BV100 in Low power
mode with the Binary interface. For further details please see the next chapter.

4.4 USING BV100 CONFIGURATION CARDS
The Configuration Cards offer the following functions:
• Select required Communication Interface (SSP, ccTalk, Parallel etc).
• Adjust the channel and pulse configuration on a pre-programmed BV100 to your own
requirements.
Programming the BV100 with the configuration cards is enabled via the ‘Configuration
Button’ on the right hand side of the BV100 (see Chapter 4.2.3). (For details on how to
complete the configuration cards please see Appendix D – Configuration Cards)
Instructions
1) Press the Configuration button once whilst the validator is powered up.
2) The bezel LEDs will now flash with a steady heartbeat until a Configuration Card is
entered.
3) Once the Configuration Card has been entered the validator reads the card and
immediately returns it.
4) The LEDs then flash rapidly whilst the interface is being changed. If the LEDs flash a
number of times slowly, it is an indication of an error (For details of the Error Flash
Codes please see Appendix D – Configuration Cards).
5) When the changes are complete the validator resets.
If a configuration card is not entered, this function can be cancelled by pressing the button
again once.
It is now possible to check the programmed settings of the BV100 by pressing the
Configuration button twice within half a second. (For details see Appendix D –
Configuration Cards)

5 LOW POWER OPTION
Low power Mode can be used with all none serial communication protocols to reduce the
power consumption of the BV100 when idle.
When the BV100 is in this state the current consumption is reduced. The BV100 goes into
low power mode approximately 6 seconds after the validator is powered up and remains
in this state until a note is entered (Time A, Figure 10). Following a note insertion the
BV100 returns to Low Power mode approximately 1 second after the Busy line goes High
(After credit is given or note is rejected). (Time B, Figure 10)
Table 10 - Electrical requirements and characteristics for low power mode
Notes:
· Low Power Mode can ONLY be used with the above 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 program.
· In Low Power Mode the front sensor is checked every 1 second which can lead to a
delay in accepting the note when it is presented.
· Configuration button functions are only available during power up before the BV100 goes
into Low Power Mode.

Low power mode uses 3 control lines Vend–Pin 1, Inhibit–Pin 6 and Busy–Pin 9.
Figure 10 – Low power mode timing diagram
TIMING DIAGRAM EXPLAINATION
When the Validator is enabled the Inhibit line is Low and the Busy line is High. This
remains the same until a note is inserted (Time A).
When a note is inserted under the front sensor the BV100 wakes up and the busy line
goes low to indicate that the validator is in use. The busy line remains low during the
validating and stacking process and once the note has been successfully validated and
stacked the vend line goes low to issue the credit.
After the credit is issued the busy line goes high and approximately 1 second after the
busy line goes high (Time B) the BV100 goes back into low power mode.
