 SM Backload Bill Validator – Operation and Service Manual

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The CashCode SM bill validator is typically installed on the
front door (or the front panel) of a machine. Access to the
cassette is from the rear side of the validator.

A complete SM unit consists of two parts – the bill validator

itself and the lockable removable cassette.

SM has a fixed width bill path and is available for

currencies 67mm or 71mm wide. These two implementations
encompass most of the countries using fixed widths for their
denominations.

SM has a very high acceptance rate, due to a set of

advanced sensors and smart software that can precisely Cassette
identify authentic bills from all known counterfeits.

Six multi-colour optical sensors collect images from both

sides of the bill.
Bill validator
Patented inductive sensors evaluate magnetic properties
of specialized ink.

Patented dielectric sensors detect authenticity of bill paper and special protective features of the bill.

All sensors have auto-calibration and do not require any manual adjustment. As a result, the validator
keeps the same high acceptance level during its lifetime.

SM is capable of accepting bills inserted in any of four directions (any side forward, face up or face
down).

An additional sensor allows reading of bar-coded coupons widely used in gaming applications.

The highest security level is provided by an anti-stringing sensor that can detect any sort of string,
thread or film attached to a bill.

Following features make the SM highly efficient.

Beltless roller design minimizes maintenance of bill transport mechanism.

“Clamshell” design provides fast and easy access to the bill path.
Special rollers prevent a bill jam situation even with wet or worn bills.

Fast and easy software updates due to CashCode Memory Stick. An update is easily performed in
seconds. The procedure does not require technical personnel, validator disconnection, or any tools.

SM operates at twice the speed than the previous ST series.

The features of SM allow it to be customised to any application quickly and easily.

SM can be installed STACKER UP (common for vending equipment) or STACKER DOWN (used in
amusement machines).

SM supports wide variety of protocols – Pulse, MDB, CC serial, CCNET, and BDP.

Typically, connectors are located at the right hand side of the validator. A left hand side connector
option may be ordered for MDB applications.

A choice of standard plastic bezel or a metal bezel with vandal-proof features is available.

The Lockable Removable cassettes used by SM are same as those used in earlier CashCode ST bill
validators. These cassettes are capable of accepting either 67 mm or 71 mm wide bills and must be used
with SMs that handle the same bill width. Improper combination of the cassette and the validator will result in
validator failure. The cassettes are capable of stacking bills up to 160 mm in length.

Cassettes are available in following sizes – 170, 400, 600, 1000 and 1500 bills. Cassette capacity
refers to the number of brand new bills that can be stored. Street grade bills require more space and as a
result, the capacity may decrease.

As an option, cassettes may be equipped with the Seal Tab for additional security.

Bezel style

Three different styles of bezel are currently available:

Standard plastic bezel. This bezel can be used for – STACKER UP

and STACKER DOWN configuration. The bezel has a status indicator that
glows GREEN when ready RED when busy. The indicator also helps as a
diagnostic tool for service personnel. The bezel has 2 designated places to
accommodate stickers of 35x12 mm and 76x48 mm size. A set of stickers
is supplied with the SM for most of the countries.

The Metal bezel is developed to protect the SM from intentional

damage or in environments subject to impacts from other objects. It also
has a curved path to protect from inadvertent insertion of coins. The metal bezel has an additional transport
motor necessitating additional power. A red/green light indicates the status of the validator. Customized
stickers of size 76x48 mm can be applied on the bezel. The bezel is available in two configurations –
STACKER UP or STACKER DOWN.

Memory Stick and software update options

CashCode SM Bill Validators are supplied with pre-installed software, according to user’s order. A
“Dummy Card” is normally placed in the slot instead of a Memory stick. Software updates are released to
accommodate new currency releases or to improve security against counterfeits. Software updates are
offered in three options:

1) Single-download Memory stick.

The software from the new Memory stick is downloaded when it is first installed on the validator. This
Memory stick must be left in its position for the Bill Validator to operate.

Rev. 03-2005 Part 1. Operation Manual Page 1-17

 SM Backload Bill Validator – Operation and Service Manual

2) Multi-download Memory stick.

The multi-download Memory stick allows for updates of multiple SM validators depending on the number
of licenses ordered.

3) Network download Memory stick.

This memory stick allows the download of new software through the interface connector. After the
download, the Memory stick must be left in the Bill Validator. If the host controller supports the CCNET
protocol, then the download can be done via the host controller (and local network).

Other protocols do not support this download feature. Downloads may be performed by connecting the
validator to a personal computer through an appropriate adapter. Instructions for Memory stick

SWITCH SETTINGS
The DIP switches are located at the CPU board.

The SM bill validator operates in two basic modes: Validation Mode and Service
Mode.
Validation Mode: This is the mode for normal operation.
Service Mode: This is the mode for programming and testing.
A set of 8 DIP switches defines the settings and programs the Bill Validator to recognize
and validate different denominations or define other parameters.

A set of 4 DIP switches defines the settings of interface type.

For a complete explanation of switch description, please see the software User’s Guide
(enclosed to each bill validator and available at www.cashcode.com).
