ARGUS Currency Validator

1.1 Introduction The ARGUS Currency Validator, which is designed with a configurable validator head, can be used in a back-stack or a down-stack configuration. For storing currency, a SecurityRemovable Cassette (SRC) can be mounted either directly below or behind the validator head. The addition of a newly designed 400-bill, Universal SRC, provides maximum security for storing currency from 62-mm to 85-mm wide. For customers who wish to use their 70-mm SRCs for storing narrow-width currencies (i.e., from 62 to 70-mm), the validator head can be fitted with a specially-designed bezel and channel inserts. ARGUS supports RS-232 communications which is the advanced GPT interface standard used with the V1, V2.2, and MDB protocols supplied by GPT. This combination provides a smooth transition for customers to the next generation of currency validation. Interconnection of the Currency Validator with the gaming or vending machine is quick and easy, and the parts for mounting and wiring are provided. A high level of validation and system security, combined with reliability and longevity, make the ARGUS an ideal Currency Validator for gaming, video lottery, pull tab, vending, and currency dispensing operations.

1.1.1 ARGUS Back-Stack Configuration When configured as a back-stack unit (see Figure 1-1), ARGUS can be installed into gaming machines that currently use GPT’s GII-IBS. This configuration features a straight bill path, up-bezel design and allows a SRC to be mounted directly behind the Currency Validator (see Figure 1-2).

1.2.1.1 Optics ARGUS identifies currency using its Red, Green, Blue, and Infrared (RGBI) optical array. This optical array generates 56 channels of high-resolution data. Using 14 wide-area transmissive and reflective detectors, and 24 emitters, the optical array can analyze 85 millimeters across the bill without incurring any dead zones. This unique arrangement allows accurate bill recognition regardless of currency width. The four different wavelengths of emitters provide the ability to create databases for any country using only one configuration. The high-speed, low-noise analog-to-digital conversion circuits record 56 channels, and then processes the information to determine the validity of the bill within 2.5 seconds. To compensate for environmental conditions and degradation of emitters or detectors, optical adjustments are performed automatically during the main idle loop. This feature assures outstanding bill acceptance is achieved when a bill is inserted.

Chapter 1 – Overview

1.2.1.2 High-Sensitivity Magnetic Circuit Many countries use magnetic ink to increase the security of their currency. ARGUS uses a high-sensitivity magnetic circuit that doubles the sensitivity to detect these inks. This circuit uses a magneto-resistive head that reads magnetic signatures through the bill thereby allowing secure four-direction acceptance.

1.2.1.3 Front and Rear Optical Sensors ARGUS uses front and rear optical sensors to provide critical information on the bill’s position in the channel. The rear optical sensors have replaced the mechanical, rear-flag assembly used in our GII Currency Validators.

1.2.1.4 Stringing Detection The newly designed precision mechanism and a new, side-looking optical system, shown in Figure 1-6, detects fraud attempts. This design virtually eliminates the possibility of strings or tapes being used to yo-yo a bill from the Currency Validator.

1.2.1.5 Single-Head Configuration Using a single-head design, ARGUS can be programmed to accept currency found in GPT’s extensive database library. The validator head can be configured to accept currencies from 62-mm to 70-mm or 62-mm to 85-mm wide. Choices of two Lower Bezels are available to allow smooth operation for either the 70-mm and 85-mm widths. To accept narrower width currencies (62-mm to 70-mm), the validator head is fitted with two specially-designed channel inserts and a Lower Bezel that has a smaller bill opening. The only tool required for this conversion is a Phillips-head screwdriver. By simply removing two screws that secure the Lower Bezel to the validator head, the service technician can install the channel inserts and change the Lower Bezel. Channel disassembly for the ARGUS-D is shown in Figure 1-7. (For instructions to modify the channel widths of the ARGUS-B and ARGUS-D units, refer to Section 8.2.) After the appropriate software is installed, the unit is ready for installation.

Right-Side Channel Insert Lower Bezel

Figure 1-7. ARGUS- D – Lower- Bezel Disassembly

1.2.1.6 Main Connector ARGUS uses a single, 22-pin connector that can safely handle both power and interface requirements. Normally, single-connector designs are subject to hot plugging risks that may damage either the Currency Validator or the Host Controller. This risk is now eliminated with the new power and interface electronics that are designed into the ARGUS Currency Validator.

Two different numbering schemes are used to define single-country and multi-country databases. For more information, refer to Section 3.1. The XSerial NumberX label contains a unique alphanumeric code that identifies the Currency Validator. The XOrigin Country CodeX mini-label, which is usually affixed on the Serial Number Label, uses a two-letter ISO country code to indicate the country database that the Currency Validator was tested and shipped to. The XCE/WarningX label indicates the Currency Validator complies with ETL and CETL requirements, and it specifies the rated input power (i.e., voltage and current) that is required to safely operate the Currency Validator.

1.4 Universal Security-Removable Cassette For all currency sizes, GPT ’s 85-mm Universal Security-Removable Cassette (SRC) is the only stacker needed for the ARGUS Currency Validator. The Universal SRC, which is designed with standardized components, provides reliable operation and maximum security for storing up to 400-stacked bills2. When the cassette is full, it can be easily detached from the Currency Validator and sent to a secure location.

2.1 Currency Validator Assemblies Information in this chapter details the mechanical assemblies of the Currency Validator. The Currency Validator’s mechanical assemblies consists of: •

Main Housing Assembly

•

Bezel Assemblies

•

Channel Assembly

•

Electronics Tray Assembly.

2.1.1 Housing Assembly The Housing Assembly, which forms the foundation of the Currency Validator, supports and aligns the drive axles and rollers, and the drive stepper motor while providing mounts for the other subassemblies of the Currency Validator. The drive axles provide motive power to two drive belts that transport the bank note or coupon past the validation circuitry and out of the unit. The drive belts are attached to self-tensioning mechanisms to assure a reliable and straight feed. In a unique arrangement, the belt path is designed to provide an area suitable for the detection of stringing devices or tails by the Side-Looking Optical System™. The transport mechanism uses a stepper motor to position the bill within the currency channel. During the bill’s transport process, as many as 20 validation samples, per motor step (at 0.023 inch), are taken. The transport mechanism consists of two timing belts and a pressure roller configuration. The timing belts are organized to provide an area of vertical and horizontal optical inspection within the currency channel. The vertical analysis is used in the validation of bank notes. The horizontal analysis, performed by the Side-Looking Sensors (SLS), is used exclusively for the detection of tethers and/or strings attached to bank notes or coupons. Any trailors detected by the SLS are cause for automatic rejection of a note by the Currency Validator. A record of this event is logged within the Currency Validator and Soft-Drop Analyzer (SDA), along with a message sent to the Host Controller for appropriate action.

Chapter 2 – Description of Equipment

2.1.2 Bezel Assemblies The Bezel Assemblies, which comprise the Upper-Bezel Assembly and the Lower-Bezel Assembly, provide bill alignment and guidance into the Currency Validator’s transport mechanism. Made of injection-molded plastic, the Upper-Bezel Assembly is easily cleaned and maintained. With its built-in LED display electronics, the upper bezel emits a strobelight, runway pattern that aids to identify the bill entry point for the user. This display also provides diagnostic information and host machine status to service personnel. A newly added feature of the Upper-Bezel Assembly is the Spring-Loaded Latch mechanism. This mechanism comprises two latches and striker plates that securely close the Upper-Guide Assembly to the Main Housing Assembly. When both latches are released, access to the currency channel can be obtained for cleaning purposes. With the ARGUS Currency Validator, a choice of two Lower-Bezel Assemblies are available to handle either narrow-width (62 to 70-mm) or wide-width (70 to 85-mm) currencies. The Lower Bezels, which ensure reliable operation for all currency sizes, are easily attached to the Lower-Guide Assembly. When configured for narrow-width currencies, the currency channel must be fitted with specially-designed channel inserts. These inserts guide the narrow-width currency as it passes from the Lower Bezel, through the channel, and into the Security-Removable Cassette.

2.1.3 Channel Assembly The Channel Assembly consists of two subassemblies: The Upper-Guide Assembly and the Lower-Guide Assembly. The Upper-Guide Assembly serves as the upper half of the currency channel. It supports and contains the pressure rollers that force the currency against the drive belts for traction. It also supports and locates the optical sensors and the magnetic head that examines the bank note as it passes through the unit. To protect the optical sensors, a clear, optical window, which is molded from an optical-grade polycarbonate, is inserted over the sensors. The optical window has ridges molded into the surface to minimize the surface area that the bank note travels within the channel. The Upper-Guide Assembly is attached at its lower end so that it can pivot completely away from the rest of the unit for quick access to the currency channel. This allows easy cleaning of the currency channel and/or parts of the transport mechanism. When closed, the Upper-Guide Assembly is securely latched to the Housing Assembly by two SpringLoaded Latches. The Lower-Guide Assembly, which guides the bank note onto the drive belts and pressure rollers, makes up the lower half of the currency channel. The Lower-Guide Assembly also supports and locates the optical sensors which are protected by a clear, optical window. Integrated into the Housing Assembly, the Lower-Guide Assembly is factory aligned to the Upper-Guide Assembly for accurate, reliable operation.

2.1.4 Electronics Tray Assembly The Electronics Tray Assembly contains the intelligence that controls the functional, validation, communications, diagnostic, and display functions. This assembly comprises the following Printed Circuit Boards (PCB): •

Reflective Array PCB

•

Power Supply Motor Driver (PSMD) PCB

•

Central Processing Unit (CPU) PCB.

The Electronics Tray Assembly is designed to allow easy removal of the PCBs for repair and/or replacement.

2.2 Universal Security-Removable Cassette GPT’s Universal Security-Removable Cassette (SRC), shown in Figure 2-1, is a removable storage module that provides reliable operation and maximum security for bills accepted by the Currency Validator. Providing a storage capacity for 400-stacked bills with a width from 62 to 85-mm, the Universal SRC easily attaches to the Currency Validator.

Figure 2-1. Universal Security-Removable Cassette Depending on the specific application, different levels of security may be provided for the removal and replacement of the Universal SRC. For the standard Universal SRC configuration, a door lock is used to secure the bills. If additional security is desired, an optional dual-lock configuration is available.

Chapter 2 – Description of Equipment In place of the Universal SRC, GPT ’s 70-mm SRC can be used to store narrower-width currencies between 62-mm and 70-mm wide. When this SRC is used, the Currency Validator must be fitted with channel inserts and a specially-designed Lower Bezel. These parts can prevent bill jams as the currency passes through the currency channel to the SRC (refer to GPT 's ARGUS Installation and Users' Guide, Pub. No. G3M0082, latest revision). As an option, the tracking of transaction information is accomplished by installing the SoftDrop Analyzer (SDA). The SDA contains a memory device that allows the user to retrieve data, such as monetary and statistical information, without opening the cassette.

2.2.1 Soft-Drop Analyzer Option SRCs purchased by GPT customers can include, as an option, GPT ’s proprietary Soft-Drop Analyzer (SDA) technology. The SDA is designed to automatically record monetary and statistical data for each bill or coupon processed by the Currency Validator. In addition, the SDA provides pertinent information related to the Currency Validator (i.e., asset number, machine number, and chip family information). Four classifications of data recorded by the SDA are: 1. System Identification

2. Note Transaction

3. Coupon Data

4. Diagnostics

When RS-232 DEMO program is installed on an IBM compatible PC, the user can access the data stored in the SDA memory module. This module provides a serial communication link with the Currency Validator. When the user clicks on the Read Memory command button on the SDA screen, monetary (i.e., number of bills sorted by denomination) and statistical information (i.e., number of bills rejected) appears (see Figure 2- 2). For detailed information concerning the installation and operation of the RS-232 DEMO, refer to GPT ’s Web site at www.gpt.com, select Technical Manuals, then select RS-232 Demo, located in the Preliminary Product Manuals category. Another software application, named Synergy Connect Professional (SCPro™), was designed by GPT to simulate the functions of the Host Controller. SCPro is a Windows®based PC application that allows the user to easily connect to GPT ’s Currency Validators configured with either the V2.2 Standard or V2.2 Extended Protocols. In addition to accessing the data stored in the SDA memory module, SCPro allows the user to perform validator setup, testing, software updates, and software development. To obtain a copy of SCPro™ Users’ Reference Manual, Pub. No. G9S3094, contact GPT Customer Service or visit GPT ’s Web site.

2.2.2 Cassette Description The Universal SRC features an electrical connector that easily self-aligns to the Currency Validator and joins electrically to it. The cassette’s housing is ruggedly constructed of heavy gauge, welded-steel and is designed so that access to the stored bills is only possible by unlocking the hinged, steel door at the rear of the module. Based on a time-tested design of simplicity and reliability, the Universal SRC is available with a level of intelligence (i.e., Soft Drop Analyzer) to enhance the management of monetary records. The cassette’s major subassemblies are:

Chapter 2 – Description of Equipment

2.2.2.1 Stacker Weldment Assembly The Stacker Weldment Assembly is a sturdy, locked-steel box capable of storing 400-stacked bills, or bills in combination with coupons. Designed with security in mind, the container features a minimum of joints and seams to prevent unauthorized entry. Authorized entry is allowed through a hinged, steel door which is secured with one-tubular or two-tubular, tamperproof key locks. (SRCs are also available without locks). The cassette contains a spring-loaded pressure plate that supports the stack and a pair of support rails on which presented bills lie prior to the stacking operation. The exterior of the cassette is finished in an attractive, durable black finish. Within the box is an upper cavity enclosed by a removable, stamped-steel cover. Contained within the upper cavity are: •

Stacker drive mechanism

•

Blind mate connector that connects to the Currency Validator

•

Memory module for electronically storing cassette identification, diagnostic and content information. This information can be retrieved using the Soft-Drop Analyzer which is available as an option.

•

Infrared sensor used for positioning of pusher plate.

2.2.2.2 Motor/Pusher Plate Assembly The Motor/Pusher Plate Assembly, which contains a DC motor and a slider-crank mechanism, stacks bills in a simple and reliable manner. When the appropriate signal is received from the Currency Validator, the motor makes one revolution. This action cycles the pusher plate through one complete linear extension-retraction cycle. On extension, the pusher plate pushes the bill past the support rails against the pressure plate. On retraction, the bill is now trapped below the support rails and is held there by the pressure plate. The pusher plate continues to its retracted position and is ready for the next cycle.

NOTES ON LAST 5 TRANSACTION FUNCTIONS This function will cause the last five bills inserted into the validator to be displayed by the bezel. The last bill will be displayed first. Each denomination’s bill type is displayed by the bezel's green LEDs. The green LEDs encode the bill type in binary format, as follows: 8------4----2--1--

WIDEST ROW = 1 NARROWEST ROW = 8

Examples: 8------4----2--1--

Bill Type 1 (LEDs 1 are lit)

Bill Type 6 (LEDs 2 and 4 are lit)

To determine the bill’s denomination, refer to Currency Information Table, Sheet 1. A full cycle of information consists of several parts. The first bill is displayed by the bezel for half -a-second. Next, the unit is dark for half -a-second. The unit repeats this process for the second, third, and fourth bills. After the last bill is displayed by the bezel for half -a-second, the unit will be dark for one second to signal the end of the cycle. This process continues indefinitely until DIP-Switch 7 is set to Normal operation.

Chapter 3 – Software/Communication Protocols

3.3 Protocols The ARGUS Currency Validator supports serial RS-232 communications, which is the interface convention used with either the Standard or Extended versions of the V2.2 Protocol supplied by GPT. In addition to this protocol, GPT supports the various industry-standard communication protocols that are commonly used for vending, gaming, and video lottery machines. For these other industry-s tandard communication protocols, a GPT Protocol Adapter Assembly (PAA) is required 3. This device allows ARGUS to communicate with the Host Controller. Some of the industry-standard and GPT protocols available for the ARGUS Currency Validator are: •

GPT High-Level Pulse

•

GPT A2/A2A Custom Parallel 4

•

VFM/GL5 Serial/Pulse

•

IGT ® 2.2

•

IGT ® 2.5

•

GPT Serial RS-232 Standard (V2.x)3

•

GPT Serial RS-232 Extended (V2.xE)3.

3.3.1 GPT High-Level Pulse The High-Level protocol is available for those applications that have only a simple control board or control mechanism available. With this protocol, the Currency Validator issues Credit Pulses on the Normally Open (NO) contacts of the credit relay, plus two signals Enable and Inhibit. This protocol allows the user to choose one of the following timing modes: 1. 50 ms on time, with 50 ms off time (i.e., 50/50 timing), or 2. 60 ms on time, with 300 ms off time (i.e., 60/300 timing). The desired timing mode is selectable by a DIP-switch in the protocol box (refer to Table 1 of GPT's, Retrofit Replacement of GII with ARGUS Currency Validator, Technical Bulletin No. GPB2T01, latest revision).

3.3.2 GPT A2 and A2A Custom Parallel The A2 and A2A protocols are custom-parallel protocols that enable the Currency Validator to communicate with a control system via a parallel port. Communication between the Currency Validator and the control system is unidirectional, that is, from the Currency Validator to the control system. Messages are transmitted to the control system via four lines on the Protocol Adapter Assembly. The A2 and A2A protocols provide logic-level (TTL) parallel communication between the Currency Validator and the control system. When a bill is accepted, the Currency Validator generates the pulse ON, the pre-assigned line for the accepted denomination is low, while the remaining lines are high. Using this interface, the number of denominations placed in the program is limited to four. 3

The GPT Serial RS-232 Communication Protocol (Standard or Extended versions) do not require a PAA.

4

A detailed manual that describes this protoc ol is available at GPT’s Web site (http://www.gpt.com/).

3.3.3 VFM/GL5 (Serial/Pulse) The VFM/GL5 Serial protocol (TTL/CMOS) provides one-way communication with the Host Controller. Using four control lines (i.e., ACCEPT, DATA, SEND, and INTERRUPT), messages are transferred between the Currency Validator and the control system. Two interfaces, serial and pulse, are available to permit maximum versatility. While waiting for an event to occur, the Currency Validator is in the passive mode. When an event occurs, such as when a bill is being accepted, the Currency Validator will respond with a request to send a message to the control system. Using a handshaking method, the messages emerge in the order of an 8-bit word (serial protocol).

3.3.4 IGT 2.2 and 2.5 (Domestic and Foreign) This protocol is used widely by GPT, under contractual agreement with IGT ®. It is recommended that you consult with your Gl obal Payment Technologies Factory for information about this protocol.

3.3.5 GPT Serial RS-232 Standard (V2.2) or Extended (V2.2E) Protocols Both the V2.2 Standard and V2.2 Extended Protocols provide a reliable and robust communications link between the Currency Validator and the Host Controller. These protocols contain features designed to detect transmission errors and allow the re-transmission of data if an error occurs. The protocols also allow full access to the Currency Validator’s features and give detailed information on the current state of the unit. Transmissions consist of message frames. Message frames are sent by both the controller and the Currency Validator. The Acknowledge and Interrupt Request (IRQ) bytes are sent only by the validator. The format of a message frame consists of a start byte (STX), a length byte (LEN), a command and/or identifier byte (CMD), and data bytes and a check sum. For detailed information about this protocol, refer to GPT’s V2.2 Standard Protocol Manual, Pub. No. G9S2091. The V2.2 Extended Protocol provides all the features of the V2.2 Standard Protocol 5, plus it extends the functionality to include the following: •

An increase to 64 bank-note types

•

Protocol Adapter Assembly connection to interface V2.2 Extended Protocol with other protocols

•

Additional self-diagnostic capabilities.

3.4 Program Downloads Program downloads are required when the unit’s application program needs to be upgraded or the database needs to be replaced (i.e., when a new currency is issued). Using GPT’s SCPro software, the user can download a program from a PC or Laptop to the Currency Validator. To perform a download, refer to GPT’s SCPro Users’ Reference Manual, Pub. No. G9S3094.

5

The code for both of these protocols is embedded in the unit's application software. Upon initial communication with the controller at installation, ARGUS determines the appropriate protocol version, Standard or Extended.

4.1 Fundamental Operation The ARGUS Currency Validator uses multiple algorithms to validate currency. Each database is custom-designed for a particular set of denominations. Optical data from the Transmissive and Reflective Sensors is analyzed by the microprocessor along with data from the magnetic sensor. The entire note is scanned using all of the available colors (red, green, blue, and infrared), and the resulting data is processed until a decision is made to accept or reject the note. A Host Controller with an RS-232 serial port capability may remotely operate the ARGUS Currency Validator. Each bank note may be accepted or rejected at the discretion of the Host Controller. Furthermore, options can be selected and credit information can be monitored. The remote controller can also override other programming facilities such as DIPSwitch settings and memory stored configuration data.

4.2 Currency Validation Processes A detailed description of the currency validation process is described in the following subsections.

4.2.1 Power-Up Routine The power-up routine begins when power is applied to the Currency Validator. power-up routine is described in the following steps (see Figure 4-1): a.

The

The program checks the DIP switches for setup information; normally, DIP-Switches 8 and 9 are set to the off position unless the Video-Level adjustment is being performed.

b. The program checks memory for setup instructions; subsequently, it sets parameters and initializes registers. c.

The red, Light Emitting Diode (LED), adjacent to the DIP-Switches, is flashing.

d. The Currency Validator motor runs in reverse for about 2-seconds; this action is necessary to clear a bill (i.e., bank note) or other foreign material from the channel. (If the bill is not successfully returned or stacked, the process is repeated; after the fifth attempt, the Host Controller is notified that a jam exists and the Currency Validator is disabled.) e.

Stacker operation is verified by running the Stacker motor for two cycles.

f.

The CPU enters the Idle State when at least one denomination is enabled and the stacker is attached to the unit. This is indicated by the red status LED (found adjacent to the DIP Switches) blinking once. In this state, the Currency Validator is operational (i.e., optical sensors are idle, and the CPU is polling the front sensors for activity) and it is ready to accept currency.

g. Green LEDs strobe on bezel (refer to Section 5.2.1).

4.2.2 Currency Validation Routine Upon a successful power up, the Currency Validator enters the Idle State. In this state, it waits for a bank note to be inserted. When a bank note is inserted approximately 1-inch into the currency channel, the front sensors are activated. At this time, the currency validation routine begins: a.

The CPU starts the stepper motor in the forward direction; this action engages the bank note into the drive transport.

b. The CPU begins to collect and analyze optical and magnetic data. c.

The rear sensor is activated, and the data collected is compared to a known database of programmed currency to determine the authenticity and denomination of the bank note.

4.2.2.1 Bill Acceptance Routine When the Currency Validator has determined that the bank note (i.e., bill) is valid, it then begins the bill acceptance routine: a.

The CPU repeats its sensor checking routine.

b. The Currency Validator sends the valid bill denomination message to the Host Controller for disposition. Most protocols, excluding high-level protocol, allow the Host Controller to force the Currency Validator to either accept a valid bill or reject an invalid bill. If the Host Controller has instructed the Currency Validator to accept the bill, the next step is performed; otherwise, if the bill is not valid, the CPU begins the bill rejection routine (Subsection 4.2.2.2). c.

The bill is moved to the SRC to be stacked (i.e., stacking state), thereby clearing the rear sensor. This sensor signals the CPU that the bill has left the currency channel. In response, the CPU instructs the transport to continue running, for a fixed period, to ensure the bill is out of the channel.

d. The CPU stops the stepper motor and starts the motor in the SRC. e.

After the bill is successfully stacked, the ARGUS Currency Validator informs the Host Controller and updates its internal statistics. Note: Credit is issued only after the bill is stacked.

f.

Page 34

The bill acceptance routine is now completed. The Currency Validator returns to the Idle State and is ready to process the next bill.

Global Payment Technologies, Inc.

G3M0071 Rev. A

Chapter 4 – Theory of Operation 4.2.2.2 Bill Rejection Routine When the Currency Validator has determined that the bill is not valid, it then begins the bill rejection routine: a.

The CPU starts the stepper motor in the reverse direction to reject the bill from the channel (i.e., rejecting state).

b. If the bill transport cannot clear the channel, the CPU begins the channel clearing process. Using back and forth motions, the bill is jogged until it is freed from the channel and is returned to the customer. If necessary, the channel clearing process is repeated five times. c.

If the bill is successfully rejected during one of these attempts, the CPU returns to the Idle State. However, if the bill cannot be rejected after the fifth attempt, the CPU switches to the Inhibited State. In this state, the Currency Validator cannot operate until after the bill or debris is manually removed from the channel. After the channel is cleared, the CPU will return to the Idle State.

4.3 Validator States and Events Definitions of the various validator states and events are defined in the following subsections.

4.3.1 Validator States A validator state is the action that the Currency Validator is performing at any given instant in time. When a bill moves through the Currency Validator, the unit changes states as it performs the functions necessary to validate and accept the bill. The Currency Validator reports that it is in a certain state for as long as the state is active.

4.3.1.1 Idle State The Currency Validator awaits the input of currency. In this state, the Currency Validator is operational and ready to accept currency.

4.3.1.2 Accepting State The front sensor has been blocked and the bill is moving into the Currency Validator. The Currency Validator is in the process of evaluating the bill to determine if it is valid.

4.3.1.3 Stacking State The Currency Validator has determined that the bill is valid and enabled for acceptance. The unit is in the process of moving the bill into the Stacker and stacking the bill therein. This state is exited after the bill has been stacked, or when the Stacker jams or is detected as full. Note: For systems without stackers, the Stacking State is exited when the bill clears the rear optical sensors.

ARGUS Currency Validator

Confidential

4.3.1.4 Escrow State (only occurs if Escrow Mode is enabled) The Currency Validator has determined that the bill is valid and enabled for acceptance. The bill is held in the channel for a specified period (10 seconds) while the Host Controller commands the validator to accept or eject the bill. If the controller issues the Accept command, the Currency Validator proceeds to the Stacking State. However, if the controller issues the Eject command, the Currency Validator proceeds to the Returning State. The controller can issue a Hold command causing the Currency Validator to wait an additional 10-seconds. This command may be repeated by the controller to hold the note in the Currency Validator. Note: If the controller does not communicate with the Currency Validator within the period (approximately 10-seconds) to either accept or reject the bill, the Currency Validator will automatically reject the bill.

4.3.1.5 Returning State The Currency Validator has determined or is being commanded to return a validated bill to the customer. This state is entered from the Escrow State when the Host Controller issues the Return Bill command. It is also entered if, during the Stacking State, the Currency Validator is unable to move the bill into the stacker. This can be caused by a mis-feed of the bill or an attempted tampering of the Currency Validator by the customer, (e.g., stringing a bill). Consequently, credit should not be given by the controller. The Currency Validator will exit from this state when the bill is ejected from the channel.

4.3.1.6 Rejecting State The Currency Validator has determined that the bill is not valid for acceptance. This can be due to a mis-feed, currency that does not meet the criteria for validation, or a denomination that is not enabled. Whatever the reason, the bill is in the process of being rejected and returned to the customer. Upon the successful ejection of the bill, the Currency Validator returns to the Idle State.

4.3.1.7 Inhibit State A fault condition has occurred which inhibits the operation of the Currency Validator. In this state, the Currency Validator will self-inhibit and will stop accepting currency. The fault may be temporary and will clear automatically or it may require that the Currency Validator be serviced. The following list identifies the most common conditions that can cause the Currency Validator to enter the Inhibit State: a.

A bill is jammed in the channel and the Currency Validator is unable to move it out of the channel and return it to the customer.

b. The Currency Validator is unable to stack the previous bill (Stacker Jam). The Stacker is full or is removed. c.

Page 36

The Currency Validator’s self-test routine has determined that a hardware fault exists and it is unable to operate. The validator will attempt to correct the fault, and if successful, will exit the Inhibit State. If the fault is externally cleared, the Currency Validator will also exit the Inhibit State.

Global Payment Technologies, Inc.

G3M0071 Rev. A

Confidential

Chapter 4 – Theory of Operation d. Stacker is required but is not present; this condition can be nullified if the Host Controller sends the Set Stacker Optional for Operation Mode command. Since this command disables the stacker checking routine, the validator would exit the Inhibit State and enter the Idle State (provided no other inhibit conditions exist). e.

All bills are disabled.

When the Currency Validator enters a non-operational state and manual intervention is required to correct the problem, then the Validator Disabled Flag will be set. This condition can occur after attempts made by the Currency Validator to clear the jam have failed. It can also occur if the Stacker is removed, or an uncorrectable hardware fault is detected (i.e., Stacker Required for Operation Mode).

4.3.2 Validator Events A validator event is some significant occurrence that has taken place in the Currency Validator, for example, a bill being stacked. When an event occurs, a flag is set in the Currency Validator software. When the Currency Validator status is reported, the flag is cleared. Consequently, the event is only reported once to the controller for each time it happens. The validator events and their descriptions are listed below:

4.3.2.1 Bill-Stacked Event A valid bill has been stacked (or for Stackerless units moved past the rear optical sensors), and the bill cannot be returned to the customer. This event signals the successful completion of a bill transaction. The controller may now issue credit for the bill. This is the ONLY time the controller should issue credit. After a bill is stacked, a status request message must be received by the Currency Validator before it will accept another bill. This prevents the loss of credit by the customer, if the controller fails to poll frequently enough.

4.3.2.2 Bill-Returned Event The bill has been successfully ejected from the Currency Validator and is returned to the customer. This event may occur even if a stack bill command was given, if the Currency Validator was unable to complete that command.

4.3.2.3 Cheated Event The Currency Validator detected an attempt by the customer to remove a bill from the escrow position. The validator will automatically go to the Returning State and will try to eject the bill. A Bill-Returned-Event flag will be generated, when the bill has been ejected. The controller should cancel the transaction.

4.3.2.4 Power-On Reset Event The Currency Validator has been started up from the Power Down State. This flag is set during Currency Validator initialization. If it occurs in other than initial power-up of the system, it means the Currency Validator has lost power.

G3M0071 Rev. A

Global Payment Technologies, Inc.

Page 37

ARGUS Currency Validator

Confidential

4.3.2.5 Power Up with Credit Recovery Event This event occurs when power is applied to the Currency Validator and the currency channel is not empty. The channel may contain a bill or some type of foreign material. During power up, the Currency Validator will check if a bill was in the process of being stacked during the last power down. The time required for a bill being stacked is defined as the interval when the bill clears the rear sensor and before the response to a status command with the Bill Stacked Flag set. In this case, the first status command will be answered after the Currency Validator is powered up. The Bill Stacked bit will be set and the Bill Type field will contain the bill type of the valid bill. The Power-On Reset Flag, Idle Flag, and Communication Time-Out Flag will be set simultaneously. Note: Since the Bill Stacked Flag is not preceded by the Accepting Flag or the Stacking Flag, it is recommended that the Host Controller send the Status Request command as soon as power is restored.

4.3.2.6 Communication Time -Out Event This event occurs when the Currency Validator does not receive a valid message from the Host Controller within a specified period. Subsequently, the Currency Validator enters the Inhibit State. Note: To receive this message, contact with the Currency Validator must have been re-established. This message indicates that a failure had occurred.

5.1 General Information The Currency Validator communicates diagnostic information and host machine status to service personnel through lighted LED display patterns on its bezel. The sample bezel displays in this section represent programmed patterns for the V2.2 protocol. Various display patterns indicate the stages of the bill verification process and denote when an equipment malfunction has occurred.

5.2 Displays for Normal Equipment Operation On power-up, the Currency Validator performs a self-test routine. If the unit is operational, the bezel shows a runway light pattern (i.e., Idle State). However, if a malfunction is detected, a self-diagnostic error display will occur as described in Section 5.3. Note: Detailed and historical performance data is available through RS-232 communication and/or the Soft Drop Analyzer. When the bill moves through the Currency Validator, light patterns are displayed on the bezel that identify the current state of the unit. Listed below are the light patterns showing the associated Currency Validator state(s). The green, lit LEDs are represented by the solid, triangular-shaped symbols.

5.2.1 Idle State The Currency Validator is operational and ready to accept a bill.

Idle State: Each pair of green LEDs sequentially flash at 4 Hz. The red, center LED is not lit.

5.2.2 Accepting State A bill is inserted into the Currency Validator. The front sensor is now blocked and the unit is accepting data and evaluating the bill to determine if it is valid. Accepting State: All green LEDs are not lit, and the red LED is not lit.

Chapter 5 – Diagnostics

5.2.3 Escrow State Note: This state occurs only when the Escrow mode is enabled. The Currency Validator has determined that the bill is valid. The bill is temporarily held in the channel until the Host Controller issues a command to either accept or reject the bill. If the bill is accepted, the unit enters the Stacking State. However, if the bill is rejected, the unit enters the Returning State. The light pattern below occurs for the Escrow, Stacking, and Rejecting States.

Escrow, Stacking or Rejecting States: All green LEDs are not lit. The red LED is lit.

5.2.4 Stacking State The bill is in the process of being moved into the Stacker. After the bill is successfully stacked, the Currency Validator returns to the Idle State. However, if the bill cannot be stacked (i.e., Stacker is full or jammed), the light pattern in Subsection 5.2.3 will appear.

5.2.5 Rejecting State The Currency Validator has determined that the bill is invalid for acceptance (i.e., due to a mis-feed, incorrect currency type or value, refer to the light pattern in Subsection 5.2.3). The bill is in the process of being rejected and returned to the customer. After the bill is returned to the customer, the Currency Validator returns to the Idle State.

5.3 Self-Diagnostic Error Displays Besides the light patterns in Subsections 5.2.1 through 5.2.5, the Currency Validator provides self-diagnostic error displays when the equipment malfunctions. The most common types of errors appear below. For corrective action, refer to Troubleshooting (Section 5.4). •

Any one of the following conditions can cause this display: Error – Malfunction: All green LEDs are not lit. If front sensor is active, the red LED is lit.

(1) A bill is inserted in the channel – only the front sensor is blocked; the bill does not advance into the channel (2) Stacker is not connected to the Currency Validator and Stacker Required Mode is enabled. (3) The Currency Validator is operational but has been inhibited (i.e., Inhibited State) from accepting bills. This condition can be caused by an inhibit command issued by the controller or a communication failure between the equipment. •

Bill jams in the channel – middle sensor is covered. Error – Currency Validator: If front sensor is active, fourth row of green LEDs are lit and red LED is lit; if front sensor is not active, all LEDs are not lit.

•

Stacker is jammed or full. Error – Stacker Jammed: Third row of green LEDs are lit, and red LED is lit.

5.3.1 Bezel LED Displays for Last Five Transactions When DIP-Switch 7 is set to the on position (toward the numbers) and with power applied, the bezel’s green LEDs will continually display the last five currencies inserted into the Currency Validator. The last currency inserted into the Currency Validator will be displayed first. For each currency displayed, the green LEDs will be lit for half-a-second and then off for half-a-second. After the last currency is displayed, the process will be repeated with the first currency displayed again. The process will continue until DIP-Switch 7 is set to the off position. The green LEDs encode the currency type, in binary format. Examples of bezel displays for Bill Types 1 and 5 are shown below:

Chapter 6 – Preventive Maintenance

6.3 Calibration and Bench Testing This section contains the procedures to calibrate and bench test certain electrical and mechanical components of the Currency Validator. GPT recommends that the service technician test the Currency Validator prior to shipping it to GPT for repair. Calibration and/or bench testing, which is limited to the following items only, should be performed after the Currency Validator is cleaned, repaired, or is not operating properly: •

Video-Level Adjustment

•

Functional Test

•

Service Acceptance Test.

6.3.1 Video-Level Adjustment The Video-Level Adjustment (VLA) is used to optimize the performance of the Currency Validator. Using an ARGUS-specific VLA card only, the service technician can calibrate the optical sensing circuitry to its optimum levels. This can be done in the gaming machine or at the workbench with just a power source.

6.3.1.1 Scope This procedure is applicable to all ARGUS Currency Validators and it must be performed under the following conditions: 1.

At final installation of the gaming machine, prior to public use (this includes retrofitting Currency Validators into gaming machines at the casino or operator site)

2.

After the unit is re-configured to accept a different size currency (e.g., when the width of the currency channel is changed)

3.

After preventive maintenance

4.

Whenever bank note acceptance is degraded

5.

When a database with a 100-series program is replaced by a 200-series program, or vice versa. Note: When a 200-series program is replaced by another 200 series program, it is NOT necessary to perform the VLA. To determine the software type, refer to the XProgramX label or the Program Revision Number on your Program Specification Sheet.

6.3.1.2 Required Items The items required to perform the VLA are: •

!

G3M0071 Rev. A

Applicable Program Specification Sheet CAUTION: DO NOT use the wrong VLA card while doing a VLA. ONLY USE the correct VLA card as indicated in your Program Specification Sheet.

Global Payment Technologies, Inc.

Page 51

ARGUS Currency Validator •

Confidential

VLA Card for 70-mm wide channel (GPT PN 300EO005); or, VLA Card for 85-mm wide channel (GPT PN 300EO019)

•

Small DIP-Switch manipulator (e.g., a small, non-metallic, non-conductive stick-like item such as a toothpick or plastic tweezers).

6.3.1.3 Procedure To perform the VLA, follow these steps: 1. Power down the Currency Validator. 2. Set DIP-Switches 8 and 9 to the on position (i.e., move switch toward number) (see Figure 6-3). Note: DIP-Switches 8 and 9 are used for servicing the Currency Validator. All other DIP-Switches are set to the specific application Program Specification Sheet for your unit and SHOULD NOT be changed.

Figure 6-3. 10- Position DIP-Switch Package 3. Power up the Currency Validator.

!

CAUTION: DO NOT use cut, torn, creased, folded, or perforated VLA cards for this test. Damaged cards, which can alter the VLA test results, should be discarded. 4. Insert the VLA Card. The VLA Card will be drawn into the ARGUS Currency Validator. If the internal temperature of the Currency Validator is between 25°C and 60°C, then the red LED will stay lit. The lit LED indicates that the VLA is being performed. However, if the temperature is outside the range of 25°C to 60°C, the red LED will flash. At this time, the Currency Validator will wait up to 5 minutes for the temperature to be correct before it proceeds with the VLA. Note: The VLA card should be stored on a flat surface to prevent damage (e.g., creases and folds) to the card. 5. Power down the Currency Validator. This action, which allows the correct video setup to be stored in memory, must be done for all software revisions from 200 to 205. Failure to do so may degrade unit performance. 6. Set DIP-Switches 8 and 9 to the off position (i.e., move switch away from number); set other switches as specified by the applicable Program Specification Sheet for your software configuration.

Chapter 6 – Preventive Maintenance

6.3.1.4 Description of VLA Process During the VLA process, the Main Optical Sensors and the Side-Looking Sensors (SLS) are adjusted. Before the card is inserted during the VLA, the ARGUS Currency Validator adjusts the SLS. This part of the process starts when the Red Status LED is illuminated and remains on for approximately one-quarter (0.25) second. When the Status LED goes off, the SLS adjustment process is underway. This occurs for 1 to 5 seconds, but typically is performed in about 1 second. At the end of the SLS adjustment, the Status LED will: 1. Illuminate and remain on, indicating the SLS adjustment completed successfully, the settings were stored in non-volatile memory, and the ARGUS Currency Validator is ready to accept the VLA card for Main Optical Sensor adjustment, or 2. Blink rapidly 3 times repeatedly, indicating that the SLS adjustment failed. Should the adjustment fail, the ARGUS Currency Validator will not accept the VLA card to finish the adjustment process. While the VLA card is in the ARGUS Currency Validator, the brightness of the emitters and the sensitivities of the detectors are adjusted. Should a problem occur during the adjustment (inability to adjust correctly), the ARGUS Currency Validator will eject the VLA card and blink the Status LED rapidly 3 times repeatedly to indicate the failure. When successful, the settings will be stored in non-volatile memory.

6.3.1.5 Precautions The quality of the VLA card will affect the quality of the adjustment. When not in use, the card should be kept in an envelope and stored in a cool, dry environment. Should the card become soiled or physically damaged (e.g., creased, perforated, bent, etc.) the VLA card should be discarded and replaced with a new one.

6.3.2 Functional Test The Functional Test is performed to ensure that the Currency Validator is operational and can accept bills. For this test, select two bills representative of those in circulation (i.e., non-mint quality), for each denomination supported by the program. To pass this test, the Currency Validator should accept both bills within three insertion attempts.

6.3.2.1 Procedure 1. Obtain two bills, of each denomination, supported by the program. 2. Starting with the lowest denomination, insert the bills one after another, in a single direction. 3. If unit fails this test, then call for service; otherwise, perform the Service Acceptance Test (Subsection 6.3.3).

G3M0071 Rev. A

Global Payment Technologies, Inc.

Confidential

6.3.3 Service Acceptance Test When the Service Acceptance Test (SAT) is performed, the service technician can determine if the Currency Validator is operating at a satisfactory bill acceptance rate. For this test, the following criteria are used: •

Eight bills of currency, which are representative of the in-circulation quality (i.e., non-mint) of each denomination supported by the program, will be used.

•

Bills will be arranged so that their orientation is the same throughout each group of insertions.

•

Starting with the first group, bills will be inserted once, that is, one at a time and in a single direction.

•

The test will be repeated for each of the other denominations and directions supported by the program.

•

If more than two bills, of any denomination, are rejected regardless of insertion direction, then the Currency Validator fails this test.

6.3.3.1 Procedure To test the bill acceptance rate of the Currency Validator, follow these steps: Note: To optimize the optical sensing circuitry, perform the Video-Level Adjustment (refer to Subsection 6.3.1) prior to this test. However, DO NOT perform the Video-Level Adjustment if you are testing the ARGUS Currency Validator to determine its current condition.

!

CAUTION: DO NOT use cut, torn, or perforated bills for this test. Damaged bills, which may be legal tender in circulation, can cause false test results. 1. Obtain eight bills representative of the in-circulation quality (i.e., non-mint), of each denomination supported by the program. 2. Starting with the lowest denomination, insert the bills one after another. Notes: 1. Insert the first group of bills once, one at a time, in a single direction. If more than two bills are rejected, obtain another set of bills, then repeat this test. 2. If more than two bills are rejected for the second set of bills, discontinue this test, and then perform Diagnostics in Chapter 5. 3. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for all directions and denominations supported by the program.

8.1 Accessory Kits This chapter describes how to reconfigure the width of the currency channel for the ARGUS-B and ARGUS-D units. Using the accessory kits available from GPT, the currency path can be reduced from 85-mm to 70-mm to accommodate narrow-width currencies.

8.2 Channel Reconfiguration Instructions to modify the width of the currency channel for the ARGUS-B and ARGUS-D units are provided in this section. Using specially-designed bezels and channel inserts, the currency channel can be configured to handle narrow-width currencies (up to 70-mm wide). Without the channel inserts, the validator can handle currencies up to 85-mm wide. Note: When using the 70-mm SRC, the width of the currency channel must be reduced from 85- to 70-mm. This action will prevent bill jams when the narrow-width bill passes from the Currency Validator to the SRC.

8.2.1 Modifying ARGUS-B Unit The procedure to change the width of the currency channel to accommodate 70-mm or 85-mm wide currency for the ARGUS-B unit is provided in this subsection. To modify the currency channel for the 70-mm width, the technician will install two channel inserts. Conversely, to modify the currency channel for the 85-mm width, the technician will remove the channel inserts. For either modification, the Lower-Bezel Assembly and the UpperBezel Assembly must be changed too.

Technical Bulletin ARGUS-D Bezel Precautions

1 October 2001 Bulletin No. GPB1T03A Bezel Precautions for ARGUS-D Currency Validator This bulletin specifies the precautions to be observed when manipulating the bezel of ARGUS-D Currency Validator. Damage to the bezel can occur when service personnel attempt to open the channel assembly without releasing the spring-loaded latches. A damaged bezel can disable the Currency Validator or reduce and degrade its performance. This bulletin also contains the proper handling instructions and recommendations to protect the bezel of the new GPT ARGUS-D Currency Validator.

Scope This bulletin applies to all GPT ARGUS-D Currency Validators being manufactured and used in the field. The information in this bulletin is effective immediately. Note: A copy of this Technical Bulletin should be distributed to and retained by all service personnel for reference when maintenance is performed on ARGUS-D Currency Validators.

Precautions: 1. The ARGUS-D Currency Validator is equipped with two spring-loaded latches on the front of the unit (Figure 1). These latches must be properly disengaged before attempting to open the Channel Assembly (Figure 2 ).

!

CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to open the ARGUS-D Currency Validator's Channel Assembly by just pulling up on the Bezel – as was done previously with GII Currency Validators. The spring-loaded latches on the front of the unit must first be disengaged. Pulling up on the Bezel, without disengaging the latches, can damage the Bezel (Figure 3) and disable or impair the performance of the Currency Validator.

Technical Bulletin Importance: Routine

16 May 2003 Bulletin No. GPB3T02A New Belts: Product Enhancement for ARGUS Currency Validators This bulletin announces the use of and availability of new Timing Belts (i.e., Drive Belts) for the GPT ARGUS Currency Validator. The new Timing Belts have more durability, and will improve traction for note transport through the bill channel. Use of the new belts ensures improved operation of the ARGUS Currency Validator.

Scope All future manufacture of ARGUS Currency Validators will contain the enhanced Timing Belts. ARGUS Currency Validators made prior to 24 April 2003, which contain the older type belts, need only order the new belts should belt replacement ever become necessary.

Belts Replacements Unless otherwise authorized by GPT , belt replacement for the ARGUS Currency Validator is restricted to GPT -trained and authorized service personnel. Unauthorized opening of the Currency Validator head, as indicated by broken Tamper-Evident seals, will void the ARGUS warranty. Note: When transitioning a Currency Validator from old to new Timing Belts, do not combine old and new belt- types. Order and replace the new belts as a pair. Combining old and new belt types in a validator can impair performance.

The following table contains belt descriptions and replacement part numbers: Part Numbers Description of Belts
