This chapter is intended to provide a general overview of the advantages and options of the
coin validator v2eaglewithparallelinterface.Therstsection,however,isdesignedtohelpyou
navigate easily within these operating instructions.
2.1 About these operating instructions
These operating instructions describe the design and operation of the electronic 5" coin validator
v2eagle with parallel BDTA or BACTA interface. Afterwards, chapters 6 and 7 explain the necessary
steps for starting up and operating the coin validator. Chapter 7 describes how to clean the coin
validator and remedy the cause of any malfunction.
Chap.10"Technicaldata"andtheappended"Index"reducethesearchforspecicexplanations.
2.1.1 Text conventions
To make it easier for you to navigate within these operating instructions and to operate the
device, the following accentuations were made in the text:

2.1.2 Additional useful technical documentation
Apart from the operating instructions you already have, further documentation is available for the
v2eagle,e.g.documentationconcerningconguration.Alldocumentationcanbedownloaded
from the Crane Payment Innovations website (www.cranepi.com, Support)aspdfle.
2.2 About the v2eagle
The v2eaglecoinvalidatorwithparallelBDTA/BACTAinterfaceinthestandardized5“format
uses the patented multi-frequency technology (MFT) for reliable coin validation. Communication
with the vending machine control system takes place via the 16-pin BDTA or the 17-pin BACTA
connector. Due to its modular, compact design the v2eagle is ideally suited for gaming, vending
and service machines.
For coin acceptance the coin validator has 32 coin channels which – divided into 2 x 16 coin
channels – can be managed in two memory blocks with different coin congurations and
selected individually.
Depending on the application, the coin validator can optionally be equipped with a 4-fold or
5-fold sorter.
To be able to react as quickly as possible to new false coins and to make your individual settings,
thecoinvalidatorcanbeconguredonsiteinthemachineusingaservicetoolorintheworkshop
via a PC programming station.
Any coins or tokens not taken into account by the manufacturer can be programmed in the optional
teachmodedirectlyonthecoinvalidatorwithoutanycongurationsoftwarebyinsertingthecoins.
2.2.1 The v2eagle features
• Reliable acceptance of genuine coins and rejection of false coins due to MFT multiple
sensing of the coins inserted and evaluation of 24 measuring parameters
• Operating and manipulation safety provided by optical accepted coin sensors and sorting
control in the coin validation and coin outlet area
• Acceptance speed of two coins per second
• 32coinchannelsmanagedintwoindependentlyconguredandindividuallyselectable
memory blocks (2 x 16 coin channels)
• Service interface for PC programming station or on-site service tool
• Flashtechnologyforeasyandtime-savingrmwareupdates(CXash))
• Options
–teach mode for eight coin channels
–string sensor
–top or front entry, front or bottom return
–front plate
–4-fold or 5-fold sorting mechanism
–passive 4-way both or active 8-way manifold for 4-fold sorting mechanism
–various return levers depending on machine type

2.2.2 Models
The v2eagle is available in different models. They mainly differ
• in the coin entry and return area
• in the sorting mechanism and
• in the machine interface.
2.2.2.1 Coin entry and return area
• Top entry and bottom return (E1xxPx. ..)
The coin is inserted into the device from the top and returned, if not
accepted, via the return area at the bottom.
• Front entry and bottom return (E3xxPx. ..)
The coin is inserted into the device from the side and returned, if not
accepted, via the return area at the bottom. The coin validator with
frontentrygenerallyhasanNRIfrontplatettedtotheleft-handside
of the device (cf. Chap. 10.3.1 Front plates, p. 51). However, this model is
also available without front plate.
• Front entry and front return (E4xxPx. ..)
The coin is inserted into the device from the side and returned, if not
accepted, via the return area also located on the side. The coin validator
withfrontentrygenerallyhasanNRIfrontplatettedtotheleft-hand
side of the device (cf. Chap. 10.3.1 Front plates, p. 51). However, this model
is also available without front plate.
2.2.2.2 Internal 4-fold or 5-fold sorting mechanism
In order to sort the accepted coins into the cash-box or e.g. change tubes or hoppers, the v2eagle
can optionally be equipped with an internal 5-fold sorting mechanism (cf. Chap. 5.7 Sorting accepted
coins (option), p. 25):
• 4-fold sorter (Ex7xPx. ..)
• 5-fold in-line sorter (Ex8xPx. ..)
• Single cash-box chute out of 5-fold in-line sorter (no sorting mechanism)
(Ex1xPx. ../Ex2xPx. ../Ex3xPx. ../Ex4xPx. ../Ex5xPx. ..)

4.6 Coin return lever
The return lever [Fig. 1/2] [Fig. 2/2] on the top of the device is operated using the return button
on the machine when coins which have been inserted are to be returned or e.g. a jam caused
by coins which have become stuck needs to be removed. Actuation of the return lever opens the
measurement and validation area of the coin validator so that all objects in the coin validator
are directed to the return area.
The v2eagle can be equipped with various return levers, depending on the dimensions of the
machine (cf. Chap. 4.3.1 Model number decoding, p. 16).
4.7 Status LED (only v² eagle with 4-fold sorter)
The coin validator is equipped with a red status LED [Fig. 2/16] on the rear side to indicate the
operating state of the device:
Flashing frequency Signicance
Once per second Device connected, no fault
Three times per second Error, no coin acceptance

This chapter describes how the coin validator works:
• Coin acceptance and coin channels
• Memory blocks
• Accepted coin sensor and sorting control
• Coin pulses and signal lines
• Coin inhibition/activation of narrow coin channels
• Sorting accepted coins (option)
• Teach mode (option)
• Manipulation detection (option)
5.1 Coin acceptance and coin channels
For coin acceptance the coin validator has 32 "memory slots" to which up to 32 different coin
types or tokens can be assigned. These "memory slots" are called coin channels. The acceptance
band of one coin type/token is assigned to each coin channel and the respective coin type/
token is accepted in this channel.
To enable reliable rejection of false coins, channels with a narrow or even very narrow acceptance
band are frequently set up for a coin type in addition to the normal coin channel. The limit values
of these coin channels are closer to one another so that false coins with similar measured values
are rejected, if the normal channel is inhibited (cf. Chap. 7.2 Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel,
p. 35). However, narrow and super-narrow coin channels also have a lower acceptance rate.
In addition, it is possible to assign coins with different measured values but identical coin values
to different coin channels. In this way the coin validator can accept e.g. old and new coins of
the same denomination.
Inadditiontotheacceptancebandofacointype,furthercoininformationwhichdenesfurther
processing of the coin after its acceptance is assigned to a coin channel: e. g. the coin signal
line and pulse number or sorting information for a sorting device.
Sinceinmostcasesnotallcoinchannelsareassignedbycustomizedfactoryprogramming,
further coin types and the desired information can be assigned to these free channels at any
timeusingtheNRIcongurationandservicetools.Existingcongurationscanbechanged.
Eight coin channels are intended to be used for the teach mode. In these teach channels new
tokens/cointypescanbetaughtalsowithoutcongurationandservicetools,directlyonthecoin
validator using the switch blocks. I.e. a new coin or token is assigned to a channel (cf. Chap. 5.8
Teach mode (option), p. 30).
