2 About ...

This chapter it is intended to give you an initial overview of the advantages and options of the
v2 colibri coin validator with serial ccTalk interface. The first 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 3.5“ v2 colibri
coin validator with serial ccTalk interface. Afterwards, chapters 6 and 7 explain the necessary
steps for starting up and operating the coin validator. Chapter 8 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 specific explanations.

2.1.1 Text conventions

To make it easier for you to navigate within these instructions and to operate the device, the
symbols below are printed in the text:

2.1.2 Additional useful technical documentation

Apart from these operating instructions, there is further documentation for the v2 colibri. You
can download all the documentation PDF files by visiting www.craneps.com.

2.2 About the v2 colibri

The v2 colibri coin validator with a serial ccTalk interface in the standard 3.5“ format is based
on the tried and tested features of the G-13.mft and also uses the patented multi-frequency
measuring technology (MFT) for reliable coin validation. Communication with the machine control
is via a ccTalk specified four‑pin male connector. Due to its compact and modular design, the
v2 colibri is used above all in entertainment, vending and service machines.
For coin acceptance, the coin validator has available 32 coin channels that can be managed
either in a single memory block or divided into two memory blocks – 2 x 16 coin channels – with
different coin configurations; in both cases, the blocks can be switched on an individual basis.
Depending on the application, you can fit the coin validator with an optional front plate and it
can control a 3-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 configured on site in the machine using a service tool or in the workshop
via a PC programming station.
You can also configure coins or tokens that are ignored ex-works without needing configuration
software, you just insert the coins in teach mode on the coin validator.

2.2.1 v2 colibri properties

• 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
• Operational safety and security against manipulation by means of an optical accepted
coin sensor in the coin validation and coin outlet area
• String recognition
• Acceptance speed of two coins per second
• Switchable Casino mode for speed of coin acceptance – up to six per second are possible
• 32 coin channels managed in one or two memory blocks that are configured
independently of one another and are switched individually (2 x 16 coin channels)
• Serial interface
–– flexible and extensive communication with the machine control
–– easy transmission and control of device functions
–– possibility to connect to additional peripheral equipment
–– economical device design
• Service interface for PC programming station or on-site service tool
• Flash technology for easy and time-saving firmware updates (WinFlash2)

• Options
–– Top or front entry version
–– MINI or MIDI front plate
–– SSD-3000 3-fold standard sorter or HSD-3000 3-fold high-speed sorter
–– Licence for updating the complete ccTalk coin and device configuration on machines
with PC-based control (remote data block upload)
–– ACMI write protection
–– Additional tamper protection by protocol encryption: BNV (Bill Note Validator
encryption), DES (Data Encryption Standard)

2.2.2 Models and operating modes

There are different versions of the v2 colibri available. They mainly differ
• in the coin entry and return area
• in the communication protocol and
• in the acceptance speed.

2.2.2.1 Coin entry and return area

• Top entry and return at the bottom right (36Bxx. ..)
You insert the coin from the top into the device and it is returned via the return at the bottom
right should it not be accepted (cf. Chap. 4.2 Coin path, p. 15).
• Top entry and return at the bottom left (31Bxx. ..)
You insert the coin from the top into the device and it is returned via the return at the bottom
left should it not be accepted (cf. Chap. 4.2 Coin path, p. 15).
• Front entry and front return (39Bxx. ..)
You insert the coin from the side into the device and it is also returned at the side should it not
be accepted (cf. Chap. 4.2 Coin path, p. 15). On this coin validator, you can push on the optional
NRI MINI or MIDI front plates on the left-hand side of the device (cf. Chap. 10.3 Accessories, p. 44).

2.2.2.2 Communication protocol

The coin validator communicates with the machine controller via the serial ccTalk protocol.
The coin validator works as slave and the machine as master. The ccTalk protocol is open for
everybody and can be used without restrictions. Another advantage is remote uploading, i.e.
it is possible to load complete coin and machine configurations into the coin validator via the
ccTalk interface from a host computer too. Two versions are possible:
• Standard
Protocol according to ccTalk specification.
• ACMI
The factory programming of the coin validator in this model meets all requirements of
the Italian gaming machine act "legge 289 – comma 6" passed in July 2003. The ACMI
version of the v2 colibri is write-protected so that it is not possible to change the factory
programming using configuration tools.
In order to meet the requirements of the Italian gaming machine act subsequent
configuration of the ccTalk ACMI model is impossible. If you want to change the
factory settings please contact our sales representative.

2.2.2.3 High-speed acceptance (Casino mode)

It is possible to run the v2 colibri ccTalk in what is known as Casino mode if it is used in gaming
machines and needs to accept coins particularly quickly (up to 6 coins per second).
In Casino mode, the v2 colibri runs in favour of fast coin acceptance without
accepted coin sensing (cf. Chap. 5.3 Accepted coin sensor, p. 20).

2.2.2.4 Protocol encryption

Using protocol encryption, it is possible to additionally protect the coin validator from manipulation:
• BNV (Bill Note Validator encryption)
• DES (Data Encryption Standard)

4.6 Return lever and return button

You activate the return lever [Fig. 1/2] at the top of the devices using the return button on the
machine if you want the machine to return coins or to remove a jam caused by coins that have
got stuck, for example. 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.
Devices with front entry via a front plate do not have a return lever. With these devices, you open
the measuring and validation area by pressing the return button [Fig. 2/2] on the front plate.

 Function

5 Function
This chapter describes how the coin validator works:
• Coin acceptance and coin channels
• Single or double block data-management
• Accepted coin sensor
• String recognition
• Control for external sorting device
• Coin inhibition/activation of narrow coin channels
• Teach mode

5.1 Coin acceptance and coin channels

For coin acceptance the coin validator has 32 "memory blocks" 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.
After a reset, coin acceptance is inhibited and must be enabled by the machine.
By default, the v2 colibri refuses to accept any further coins if the machine had
not addressed it within the last 500ms or if the machine has not yet polled the
last accepted coin.

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 together so that counterfeit money with similar measured values
can be rejected if the normal channel is disabled (cf. Chap. 7.2 Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel ...,
p. 29). 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 defines further
processing of the coin after its acceptance is assigned to a coin channel: e.g. the coin value or
sorting information for an external 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 configuration and service tools. Existing configurations can be changed.
The last eight coin channels 25 to 32 (or 9-16 with double block data-management (cf. Chap. 5.2
Single or double block data-management, p. 20))
are intended for teach mode. In these teach channels,
you can also teach new types of tokens/coins directly via the switch blocks on the coin validator
without needing configuration and service tools; i.e. a new coin or token is assigned to a channel
(cf. Chap. 5.7 Teach mode, p. 23).

BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0 19
Function

5.1.1 Quick coin acceptance in Casino mode

If you are using the v2 colibri in gaming machines, the device can be switched to Casino mode
so that inserted coins can be accepted faster (up to six coins per second instead of two per
second) (cf. Chap. 7.4 Activating Casino mode, p. 34).

5.2 Single or double block data-management

At the factory, the device is programmed on a customer-specific basis whether the 32 coin
channels of the coin validator are managed in one memory block or, divided up into 16 channels
each, in two memory blocks (double block data-management).
If double block data-management is configured, the v2 colibri can manage two (memory) blocks 0
and 1 that are programmed independently of one another (cf. Chap. 4.3 Nameplate, p. 16). 16 coin
channels with different coin types (also currencies), sorting information etc. can be assigned to
each block. Only one block at a time can be active and used for coin measurement and further
coin processing. You choose the desired block using the top switch block on the device (cf. Chap. 7.1
Selecting memory block (for double block data-management only), p. 28).

5.3 Accepted coin sensor

To ensure that accepted coins get to the cash-box or an external sorting device and that acceptance
is not tampered with, an accepted coin sensor (light barrier) checks before the cash-box coin exit
[Fig. 1/6]/[Fig. 2/6] whether the inserted coin drops without hindrance through the coin outlet
towards the cash-box or the sorting device. Only when the coin has passed these checking
devices, does the system either accept the coin or, in the case of tampering, transmit an error
code to the machine (cf. Chap. 10.2.1.3 ccTalk error code table, p. 42).
If the accepted coin sensors are covered permanently, e.g. by a coin jam, coin acceptance is
inhibited.

If the v2 colibri is used in Casino mode, the coin validator cannot use the
accepted coin sensor in favour of fast coin acceptance. In Casino mode,
coin acceptance is transferred before the coin passes the accepted
coin sensor. This means that the coin validator's acceptance gate can
be tampered with, e.g. by a coin being inserted attached to a string.

5.4 String recognition

To protect the device from string tampering, the accepted coin sensor in the v2 colibri is designed
such that coin acceptance is only transferred to the machine if the coin passes the accepted
coin sensor from the direction of the insert funnel. If a coin was pulled back on a string, the
system transfers an error code (cf. Chap. 10.2.1.3 ccTalk error code table, p. 42). Pulling back a coin is
also made more difficult by the design of the coin validator.

20 BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0
 Function

5.5 Control for external sorting device

To route the accepted coins either to the cash-box or to change tubes or hoppers, for example,
you can fit the coin validator with the NRI s2 SSD-3000 3-fold sorter or another sorting device.

5.5.1 Sorting principle

The sorting gates are controlled by two sorting lines on pins 3 and 4 of the 10-pin connector
[Fig. 1/8]/[Fig. 2/8] on the back of the device.
You set which coin is to be sorted on which sorting line by means of the machine's controller.
Assignment of coin type to sorting line as well as sorting time (for how long shall the sorting
gates be controlled? 300-1000ms).
While the coin validator is sorting an accepted coin (the sorting time), it cannot
accept any further coins unless the same ccTalk sorting path is addressed. If
external sorting is no longer needed and the sorting time is not set to zero, the
system continues to reduce the coin acceptance speed by the set sorting time.
This means that you should set the sorting time to zero for faster coin acceptance.

5.5.2 Sorting using NRI 3-fold sorter s2 SSD-3000

There are three different versions of the NRI 3-fold sorter for the top entry version of the v2 colibri
depending on the machine environment. They differ by virtue of the position of the return chute:
• s2 SSD-3001: Return chute in front of the right-hand sorting chute
• s2 SSD-3002: Return chute next to the right-hand sorting chute
• s2 SSD-3003: Return chute behind the right-hand sorting chute
The front entry version can be combined with the s2 SSD-3004.

BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0 21
Function

With all four versions of the 3-fold sorter, you can distribute the
individual coin types to the three sorting chutes regardless of
the coins' dimensions. Each chute can be defined as a cash-
box chute.
The following table lists the sorting line and ccTalk sorter path
that must be addressed for sorting to be carried out into a
specific sorting chute:

Sorting chute Sorting line ccTalk sorter path

LEFT 6 (pin 4) 3
MIDDLE – 1, 4–8
RIGHT 5 (pin 3) 2

5.6 Coin inhibition/activation of narrow coin channels

If coins are no longer to be accepted for payment on the machine you can either
• inhibit coin acceptance completely,
• inhibit all coin channels of a certain coin to ensure that this coin is no longer accepted, or
• inhibit the normal coin channel of a certain coin so that this coin is accepted only in the
narrow channel.
After a reset, coin acceptance is inhibited and must be enabled by the machine.
By default, the v2 colibri refuses to accept any further coins if the machine had
not addressed it within the last 500ms or if the machine has not yet polled the
last accepted coin.

Alternatively: Inhibit individual coin types in the long term

22 BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0
 Function

5.6.1 Inhibiting all coins/individual coin channels via machine control system
The control system can
• inhibit coin acceptance completely. In this case the coin validator does not accept any
coins.
• inhibit all coin channels of a certain coin, e.g. if there is no more change in an external
payout unit or in case of high fraud hazard.
• inhibit the normal coin channel of a certain coin so that this coin is accepted only in the
narrow channel.
For information on how to program the inhibiting or enable functions, refer to the "ccTalk Serial
Communication Protocol, Generic Specification" that is available on the Internet at www.ccTalk.org, or

5.6.2 Inhibiting a coin channel/a group of coin channels by means of a

switch block
As an alternative to blocking with the controller, you can use the two switch blocks on the coin
validator to inhibit individual coin channels or groups of coin channels on site (cf. Chap. 7.2 Inhibiting
coins/activating narrow coin channel ..., p. 29).

5.7 Teach mode

You can teach coin channels in teach mode without configuration software either by means of
the bottom switch block on the coin validator or the ccTalk machine controller, i.e. a token or
coin is assigned to a new coin channel. The new acceptance band is generated by inserting the
tokens/coins. It is not necessary to remove the coin validator from the machine for this purpose.
With double block data-management, the last eight coin channels 9–16 (the teach channels)
of the activated memory block are available for teaching, with coin channels 25 to 32 being
available for this in the case of single block data-management (cf. Chap. 7.3 Teaching coin channels in
teach mode ... (not for ACMI version), p. 31).

6.2 Mounting the 3-fold sorter s2 SSD-3000 ...

If you want to operate the v2 colibri with the s2 SSD-3000 sorter, you mount it on the top or front
entry version using a special bracket:

6.2.1 ... on the v2 colibri top entry version

There are three different versions of the NRI 3-fold sorter for the top entry version of the v2 colibri
depending on the machine environment. They differ by virtue of the position of the return chute:
• s2 SSD-3001: Return chute in front of the right-hand sorting chute
• s2 SSD-3002: Return chute next to the right-hand sorting chute
• s2 SSD-3003: Return chute behind the right-hand sorting chute
Mounting the sorter will be explained using the s2 SSD-3002 as an example:
1 Fasten the mounting frame [Fig. 10/1] using the three screws [Fig. 10/2] on the back of
the sorter [Fig. 10/3].
Depending on the machine environment, three different heights are possible.

2 Connect the sorter [Fig. 10/3] to the coin validator by means of the 10-pin sorting con-
nector [Fig. 10/4] on the back of the sorter and of the coin validator with the help of the
associated sorting cable.
3 Suspend the coin validator on its mounting studs [Fig. 10/5] in the mounting frame [Fig. 10/1]:
insert it first at the bottom then press it in at the top until it snaps in.
4 Connect the coin validator to the machine (cf. Chap. 6.1 Installing the coin validator in the machine, p. 24).

Operation

7 Operation
This chapter describes how to operate the coin validator, i. e. set certain functions on the coin
validator:
• Selecting a memory block
• Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel
• Teaching coin channels in teach mode
• Selecting Casino mode
The settings which are made directly on the coin validator are described. To find out how to
make the settings using the WinEMP PC configuration software, refer to the separate guide (cf.
Chap. 9 What can be set later?, p. 37).

The exact function of the settable device options is described in Chap. 5 Function, p. 19.

7.1 Selecting memory block (for double block data-

management only)
If the coin validator is to access the other memory block and accept euro coins instead of national
currency coins, for example, you can choose the correct block using the top switch block:
1 Unhook the coin validator from the machine.
2 For memory block 0, set DIL switch S1.10 downwards (to OFF); for memory block 1, set it
upwards to ON.

Memory block 0 selected Memory block 1 selected

3 Remount coin validator in the machine.

4 Switch power off and on again.
The required memory block is activated.
5 Check coin acceptance of the new memory block selected.

28 BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0
 Operation

7.2 Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel ...

Using the two switch blocks on the coin validator, you can individually inhibit on site each of the
16 coin channels of the activated memory block or each of the coin types assigned to specific
coin channels, i.e. these inhibited coin channels are no longer used for payment on the machine.
• Accept coin without limitation: All the assigned coin channels are enabled
• Limit acceptance band: Normal coin channel is inhibited
• Inhibit coin: All the assigned coin channels are inhibited
The 16 DIL switches inhibit the following coin channels:

7.2.1 Inhibit switch functions – switch block S1

DIL switch Function OFF ON
S1.1 Coin channel 1 accepts inhibited
S1.2 Coin channel 2 accepts inhibited
S1.3 Coin channel 3 accepts inhibited
S1.4 Coin channel 4 accepts inhibited
S1.5 Coin channel 5 accepts inhibited
S1.6 Coin channel 6 accepts inhibited
S1.7 Coin channel 7 accepts inhibited
S1.8 Coin channel 8 accepts inhibited

7.2.2 Inhibit switch functions – switch block S2

DIL switch Function OFF ON
S2.1 Coin channel 9 accepts inhibited
S2.2 Coin channel 10 accepts inhibited
S2.3 Coin channel 11 accepts inhibited
S2.4 Coin channel 12 accepts inhibited
S2.5 Coin channel 13 accepts inhibited
S2.6 Coin channel 14 accepts inhibited
S2.7 Coin channel 15 accepts inhibited
S2.8 Coin channel 16 accepts inhibited

For information on which coins are assigned to which coin channels ex-works, refer to the sticker
on the back of the device (cf. Chap. 4.4 Switching functions/coin channel assignment sticker, p. 16).
This assignment may have been changed using the configuration tool.
Apart from this, there is a brief description of the individual switching functions
on the back of the device.

BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0 29
Operation

If all coins are to be accepted for payment on the machine, DIL switches S1.1-8 and S2.1-8 on
both switch blocks are in the bottom position (set to OFF). If you want to inhibit a coin channel,
you only need to set the associated DIL switch upwards to ON.
Example
The coin validator is not to use coin channels 3 and 10 for acceptance any more so that coin channels 3 and 10 must
be inhibited.

With this setting, coin channels 3 and 10 are no longer used!

If one normal and one narrow coin channel are programmed for a coin type on
the coin validator, you must inhibit the normal coin channel as described above
to activate the narrow coin channel. If both channels are activated, the wider
acceptance band of the normal coin channel is used. If you intend to inhibit the
coin type, you must also inhibit both coin channels.

To inhibit coin channels on the coin validator:

1 Unhook the coin validator from the machine.
2 Use DIL switches S1.1-8 and S2.1-8 to inhibit the desired coin channels (see the example above).
The desired coin channels are inhibited.
3 Remount coin validator in the machine.

30 BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0
 Operation

7.3 Teaching coin channels in teach mode ... (not for ACMI
version)
You can assign a token or a new coin to a coin channel either using the switch blocks on the
coin validator or by means of ccTalk commands and a service menu of the machine.

7.3.1 ... using the switch block on the coin validator

To generate new acceptance bands, you can teach up to eight coin channels (teach channels) by
means of the bottom switch block on the coin validator. You need at least ten coins of the new
type. The switch block assignment is different with double and single block data-management:

7.3.1.1 Teach mode switching functions with double-block data-management

DIL switch Function OFF ON

S2.1 Teach mode – Teach coin channel 9
S2.2 Teach mode – Teach coin channel 10
S2.3 Teach mode – Teach coin channel 11

S2.8 Teach mode – Teach coin channel 32
S2.9 Teach mode OFF ON
S2.10 Teach mode Normal acceptance band Wide acceptance band

BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0 31
Operation

To assign a coin type/token to coin channel 9-16 or 25-32, proceed as follows:

If you use the bottom switch block to inhibit individual coins, make a note of
the current switch settings so that you can restore them afterwards for normal
operating mode.

1 Unhook the coin validator from the machine.

2 Set DIL switches S2.1-10 downwards to OFF. S2

3 Set DIL switch S2.9 upwards to ON.

The device is in the teach mode for teaching the coin S2
channels.
4 Enable the coin channel to be taught (9-16/25-32, here:
11/27) by setting the corresponding DIL switch (S2.1-8, S2
here: S2.3) upwards to ON.
5 If necessary, remount the coin validator in the machine.
6 Insert at least 10 coins of the new coin type/token into the coin validator or machine.
Insertion of the tenth coin is confirmed by one-off activation of the acceptance gate (a brief
clicking noise). Further coins can be inserted.
If there is no signal after the 10th coin has been inserted, the coins inserted
cannot be used.

7 If necessary, unhook the coin validator from the machine again.

Now you can save the measured values generated by the inserted coins with a normal (a) or a
wide (b) acceptance band. A wide acceptance band presents itself if you only have available a
limited selection of tokens for teaching.
To save with the normal acceptance band:
8a Set DIL switch S2.9 downwards back to OFF.
The system indicates successful saving with a single S2
actuation of the acceptance gate and an error at saving
with a double actuation (a brief clicking noise in each case) if the acceptance band of the
inserted coins and that of an already programmed coin channel overlap or the generated
measured values are too different and the tolerances would be too high, for example.
To cancel the operation, first set the DIL switch of the corresponding coin channel
(S2.1-8, here: S2.3) and then DIL switch S2.9 downwards to OFF.

32 BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0
 Operation

To save with the wide acceptance band:

8b Set an additional DIL switch, S2.10, upwards to ON.
The acceptance band has been widened. S2

Only now set DIL switch S2.9 back downwards (to

OFF).
The system indicates successful saving with a single S2
actuation of the acceptance gate and an error at saving
with a double actuation (a brief clicking noise in each
case) if the acceptance band of the inserted coins and that of an already programmed coin
channel overlap or the generated measured values are too different and the tolerances
would be too high, for example.
To cancel the operation, first set the DIL switch of the corresponding coin channel
(S2.1-8, here: S2.3) as well as DIL switch S2.10 for the wide acceptance band
and then DIL switch S2.9 downwards (to OFF).

9 If necessary, set DIL switch S2.1-8 again for normal operation (cf. Chap. 7.2 Inhibiting coins/
activating narrow coin channel ..., p. 29).

10 If necessary, remount the coin validator in the machine.

11 Switch power off and on again.
12 Enable the taught coin channel (here: 11/27) via the control system and adapt sorting, if
necessary.
The coin validator will now accept the new coin type/token for payment.

7.3.2 ... using  ccTalk commands/machine service menu

If the coin validator is not write-protected, you can teach coin channels via a ccTalk command
set to generate new acceptance bands (cf. Chap. 10.2.1.5 ccTalk teach mode (not for ACMI version), p. 43).
This command set can be used to start and monitor the teach mode e.g. via a service menu.
The new acceptance bands are generated and saved by inserting ten coins/tokens of the new
type. After saving of the acceptance bands the coin validator will accept the new coin type/
token for payment.
Fur further information about teaching of coins/tokens via the service menu please refer to the
instruction manual for the machine.

If you have overwritten an already configured coin channel in teach mode,

you must adapt all the properties that are assigned to this channel (e.g.
coin ID, sorting, etc.) to the new coin/token (see the separate WinEMP
manual).

BA_v2_colibri_ccTalk_EN_1-0 33
Operation

7.4 Activating Casino mode

If you want to operate the v2 colibri in Casino mode, you can change the operating mode by
simply resetting the top switch block:
Set DIL switch S1.9 upwards to ON.
The device now operates in Casino mode with fast coin
acceptance of five to six coins per second.
Tripping time of the acceptance gate

In Casino mode, the v2 colibri cannot use the accepted coin sensor in
favour of fast coin acceptance (cf. Chap. 5.3 Accepted coin sensor, p. 20).

 Maintenance and service

8 Maintenance and service

This chapter describes how to
• clean the v2 colibri and
• remedy the cause of malfunctions.

8.1 Cleaning the coin runway

On their way through the coin validator the coins may leave residues on sensitive parts which
must be removed from time to time to ensure reliable coin acceptance and rejection. Apart from
this, no further maintenance work is required.
• Cleaning interval: As required, at least annually
• Cleaning agent/tool: Compressed air/soft brush/moistened cloth, lukewarm water

Moisten the cloth only slightly to prevent fluid from entering the
device. This would damage the PCB.
Do not use solvents or scouring agents that could affect the plastic and
appearance of the device.

1 Pull the mains plug of the machine.

2 Carefully unfold the flight deck [Fig. 12/1] on the left-hand side of the coin insert funnel
and hold it open.
3 Clean the coin runway in the coin validator using compressed air, a soft brush or cloth.
4 Remove dust and coin residues from the validation area using cloth/brush or compressed air.
5 Wipe the two sides of the coin runway clean using a slightly moistened cloth.
6 Allow all parts to dry.
7 Close the flight deck again.
8 Reconnect the machine to the mains supply.
