Instructions on the Firmware Upgrade for Bank Note Validators
NC 320, NC 330 and NC 340
It may be necessary to update the firmware and adjust the settings of the NC 320, NC 330 and NC 340 bank
note validators if parameters for detecting forged bank notes must be adapted. Introduction of new Euro
bank notes may also make it necessary.
First of all, please check whether a firmware update is necessary. The firmware versions currently valid are
listed below (they appear briefly in the display when the machine is switched on):
NC 320: Display: 320 u4_2 (Firmware validates the 50 Euro bank note, December 2016)
NC 330: Display: 330 u4_0 (Firmware validates the 50 Euro bank note, December 2016)
NC 340: Display: 340 u4_0 (Firmware validates the 50 Euro bank note, December 2016)
If an older version appears in the display, an update is necessary.
To complete the update, you need:
a) The programme to transfer the firmware to the processor in the bank note validator.
b) The firmware as a programme code (cannot be read as text).
The programme for data transfer and the programme code of the machine are provided on the
Olympia homepage.
c) A serial data transfer cable (assuming your computer is equipped with a RS232 serial port). Since
most modern laptops are no longer equipped with serial ports, a USB-to-serial adapter cable must
be used. This cable can be obtained from a computer shop or from Olympia. Please note that this
cable contains electronics which make it necessary to install the corresponding driver regardless of
the operating system used.

d) A serial null modem cable. This is equipped with Sub-Min-D connectors and the poles 2 and 3 are
crossed. This cable can also be obtained from a computer shop or from Olympia.

Important: Sequence of Installation:
Installing the driver for the USB-to-serial adapter
The USB-to-serial adapter is normally supplied with a driver CD. Only install the driver for the USB-to-serial
adapter to begin with. Then connect the USB-to-serial adapter. Amessage indicating successful installation
of the new hardware should appear when the installation routine has finished. In order to control that the
driver has been installed, open Control Panel, File Manager, Connections (COM and LPT) to view the
adapter. Click with the right-hand mouse button on this entry and open the properties. It should indicate that
the device is ready to operate.
Downloading the necessary files from the Olympia homepage
The Olympia homepage www.olympia-vertrieb.de contains the required files in the Firmware Update path
under the bank note validators NC 320, NC 330 and NC 340. You must then download these files on your PC
in a new path. You can then find the stc-isp-15xx-v6.21 programme and the three programme code files.
Opening the programme
Connect the USB-to-serial adapter. Connect the adapter to the bank note validator using the null modem
cable. Please pay attention that the bank note validator is not switched on. Open the stc-isp-15xx-v6.21
programme. The following screen appears:

Step 1: Selecting the processor type (MCU Type)
Firstly, select the processor of the bank note validator. Processor STC90C58AD should be set in the "MCU
Type" window at the top left. If this is not the case, open the path STC90C58AD Series in this field.
Then select the processor type STC90C58AD from this path.

The processor STC90C58AD then appears in the MCU Type window. AUTO appears in the adjacent
window.
Step 2: Adding the programme code (Open Code File)
The corresponding programme code must now be added. Click on the "Open Code File" button.Aselection
window appears (if necessary, open the file which you set up):
Select the programme code relevant for your machine, NC3x0_3_1.hex, and confirm it.
Step 3: Configuring the serial port (COM port, Max. Baud, Min Baud)
Define the settings for the serial port:
a) Select the COM Port (it may have been displayed during installation of the USB-to-serial adapter,
otherwise is must found by trial and error).
b) Set the max. baud rate to 9600.
c) Set the min. baud rate to 2400.
Step 4: Setting hardware option
Please select 6T for "Double Speed" and also select "Enable internal XRAM".

The screen now appears as follows:
Step 5: Starting to download the programme
Press the "Download/Program" button. The connection to theUSB-to-serial adapter is now tested. If an error
message appears, change the COM Port number in Step 3. Then press the "Download/Program" button
again.
The following appears in the display:
…Checking target MCU…
The bank note validator is then switched on. It is correct when the bank note validator does not display
anything during data transfer. Aprogress bar appears on the screen which indicates the transfer status.

When data transfer is finished, "Complete!" appears in the display.

The bank note validator starts up and a new version number briefly appears in the display. The bank note
validator can be switched off and the connection with the USB-to-serial adapter disconnected.
A 100 Euro bank note should be used for the final alignment. Please insert this bank note in all four
directions.
The bank note validator is now ready to use with the updated firmware installed.
