PRODUCT OPERATION
COIN ACCEPTANCE
The functionality of the CashFlow®340 creditor is described in the following sections, under the headings of Mechanical, Electrical and Operational. MECHANICAL The acceptor is built up from the following modules, each of which is available in a number of variants: · Discrimination module · Back Cover · Accept Gate module · Interface PCB · PCB Cover The discrimination module comprises a flight deck and flight deck lid which control the coin entry and flow path. The coin deflector and Snubber serve to bring coins under control by removing or dampening their inherent kinetic energy. The coin deflector is a mechanical device incorporated near the coin entry point to direct coins towards the snubber and against the face of the flight deck. Once under control coins roll down an inclined ramp, which is part of the flight deck lid, and past discrimination sensors behind the flight deck and flight deck lid until leaving the end of this ramp and entering the accept gate module.

CashFlow® 340 creditor Applications Design Guide The flight deck is hinged at the top right side to allow coupling with the flight deck lid via an intermediate component (lid arm) permitting the lid to locate accurately to the Deck independently of the hinge spring and the tolerances associated with it. The lid maintains a parallel coin throat by being located on three bosses which position the lid in all three axis when subject to the closing force exerted by a tension spring between the deck and lid arm. The design of the lid arm/hinge area allows the Lid to open to 100 degrees relative to the deck, facilitating access for cleaning. The opening is restricted by the back cover to prevent the lid fouling adjacent parts such as the front plate. If the reject lever is operated the flight deck lid is raised so that it remains parallel to the flight deck. This has the benefit of not funneling coins into a narrowing gap as they roll or fall and possibly create a further jam. This also means that the creditor can be defined within a smaller envelope as the edge of the lid furthest from the hinge does not have to open more to give greater clearance at the hinge end. Coin entry Reject lever Hinge Spring Back cover Flight Deck Lid Terminal connector Accept gate module Lid Arm

Acceptor with top entry back cover used The action of the hinge spring is an "over-centre" one which means that the lid will be held open when past about 100 degrees and will "snap" shut when closed to below about 60 degrees. The discrimination module provides a mounting for the discrimination PCB connection and to the accept gate module via a flexible interconnect cable.

Coin Entry Back cover Reject lever Host Intelligent Interface PCB Cover Display interface Machine Parallel interface Acceptor with front entry back cover used The back cover, which incorporates the reject lever assembly, clips to the discrimination module and provides protection for the discrimination PCB. There are two variants of back cover: Top Entry, used for Maxi front plate mounting. Front Entry, used for Mini & Midi front plate mounting. These back covers provide appropriate mounting points for use with either the Maxi, Mini or Midi front plates. The back cover has apertures to allow access to the serial interface and the remote expansion interface. In addition, a removable PCB cover allows access to the interface PCB and parallel interface. The position of the reject lever will depend on which version of back cover is being used. Clearance of debris and jammed coins from the creditor can be achieved by use of the reject lever.

CashFlow® 340 creditor Applications Design Guide ELECTRICAL The CashFlow® products are based on a serial interface, 12v, discrimination PCB. The circuitry is contained within a single PCB mounted on the rear of the flight deck behind the back cover. All internal connections to this discrimination PCB are via a flexible interconnect PCB. Internal connections are to the sensors on the flight deck and flight deck lid and to the accept solenoid and optical strobes in the accept gate module via the connector through the accept gate module. External connections to the discrimination PCB are via staked pins, accessible through apertures in the back cover. Additional staked pins on the discrimination PCB allow the video credit interface PCB to be connected. The electronics on the Discrimination PCB operate from 5v generated by an on-board regulator from the 12v customer supply via the interface PCB. Coins are discriminated by inductive sensors mounted on both the flight deck and flight deck lid. These sensors allow a number of coin parameters to be measured which relate to the coins' thickness, diameter and material type. The processing of these parameters is performed by the micro-controller and compared against limits stored within a non-volatile memory. Coins satisfactorily discriminated are routed to the accept exit by energising the accept gate. Coins not accepted will be routed to the reject exit. Accepted coins will generate a credit as they pass through the coin strobes in the accept exit. The strobes consist of two pairs of LED's and photo-transistors mounted in the accept gate module, opposite prisms mounted on the lower part of the flight deck.

CashFlow® 340 creditor Applications Design Guide OPERATIONAL A coin offered to the creditor has its validity determined using the discrimination process. This process involves matching the payment's measured parameters with parameters stored in nonvolatile memory. A coin's identity consists of a coin type number and a coin type status code. The coin type status code defines whether a coin is in fact a coin or a token. If a match is found then the payment is given the value of the corresponding stored data. Next, the inhibit status of the payment is checked, and if the payment is not inhibited it will be accepted. Inhibit status is determined from either the coin inhibit map stored in non-volatile memory or from the video credit interface. Video credit interface inhibit information overrides the coin inhibit map. If a payment is accepted the accept gate will be opened. Credit signalling is delayed until the coin has passed the accept gate. Once the payment has passed the accept gate, the gate will be closed. When payment has been confirmed, acceptance of further payments is permitted. If a fraud is detected, the creditor will inform its host machine, and the appropriate output signal will be activated. Acceptance of any further payments will be inhibited for one second after the host has been informed. If a payment is rejected, either due to it failing the discrimination process, or because it has been inhibited, the accept gate will not be opened and further coin acceptance will be inhibited for a period of 500ms. If a following coin is thus rejected, this time period will be restarted. If the reject lever is operated, causing the lid to open, a pulse will be generated and, if an appropriate interface is fitted, an output signal will be activated.

CashFlow® 340 creditor Applications Design Guide

COIN ACCEPTANCE RATE
The acceptor module can validate at a rate of up to 2.5 coins per second. Coins closer than this may be rejected. After a coin has been rejected no further coins will be accepted for a period of 500ms. Should further coins enter the acceptor module during this period the reject period will be re-initiated. The Cashflow® creditor will operate with all coins and tokens that are validated by the acceptor module.

RELIABILITY
The design target is the following: Mean Coins Between Failure Acceptors: < 1 in 300k excluding coin jams cleared by reject operation.

Mean Time Between Failures Acceptors: < 2.5% of field base per annum for any noncoin related failure requiring a service call out. Mars® Route Alpha 250 terminal Connector; 100 insertions. Electromechanical modules; 50 insertions. PCB based modules; 50 insertions.

FUNCTIONALITY
The video credit interface PCB contains a masked microprocessor which performs the credit accumulation and host interface functions. The microprocessor communicates with the discrimination processor via the local expansion interface. Profile specific set-up information is contained within the nonvolatile memory on the discrimination PCB and is passed on at power-up. Credit is stored in volatile memory within the interface processor and will be lost if power is removed. On receipt of a confirmed non-fraudulent payment, the interface processor assigns the appropriate value to the payment type accepted and adds this value to the accumulated credit. If the coin meter option is enabled, the processor will send an appropriate number of pulses, for the payment type accepted, to the coin meter output. The creditor can be configured for either single or multi-player operation and for either automatic or manual credit dispense in the single player configuration. In automatic credit dispense mode, the appropriated number of game pulses will be dispensed when the accumulated credit exceeds the game price. In manual credit dispense mode, a single game pulse will be dispensed, to the appropriate player output, each time a dispense input becomes active and sufficient game credits exist. If the creditor is configured for multi-player operation credit dispense mode is implied, but should in any case be enabled to ensure correct functioning of the product. In manual credit dispense mode, the creditor will drive the player lamp output to indicate that there are game credits available. The lamp(s) will flash ON for 0.5 sec. and OFF for 0.5 sec. when game credits exist. The creditor has a programmable maximum games limit which, if exceeded, will cause coin acceptance to be disabled. The creditor can be configured to give additional games at two defined bonus credit levels. The number of additional games for each bonus level is programmable. The additional games will be given provided the bonus credit level is reached within a programmable time period.

CashFlow® 340 creditor Applications Design Guide The creditor can accept a credit input from an external device such as a mechanical coin mechanism or bill validator. The credit value associated with the input is programmable. Appropriate coin meter pulses will be generated in response to an external credit input. DISPLAY FUNCTIONS An optional external display may be connected to the creditor via the display interface. The type of information displayed can be any one of the following modes, but not nescessarily all of them: Incrementing games. Shows 0000 when idle, counts games as credit increases.

Mars® Route Alpha 250 Terminal

CashFlow® 340 creditor connections to Terminal The Mars® Route Alpha 250 terminal is used to check or change certain data which affects the way the creditor operates. The data is held in addresses. Each address has a unique number which identifies the feature you wish to read or change. The following pages will explain how to access and change the data in certain addresses. At the end of this section there is a list of addresses and the relevant values. The terminal is connected to the CashFlow® 340 creditor via a six way terminal connector at the front of the acceptor module.

RESET DISPLAY

ENTER LEFT

UP RIGHT DOWN

Reset Key: used to reset all modes and to initialise any settings that you have changed. If the reset key is pressed while an address is being updated then the address may not be updated. The reset key must be pressed to store the changes that you have made. Up Key: used to increase the value displayed on the screen. Down Key: used to decrease the value displayed on the screen. Left Key: used to scroll the display to the left when a large number is being accessed that cannot be fully displayed on the screen. Right Key: used to scroll the display to the right when a large number is being accessed that cannot be fully displayed on the screen. Enter Key: used to change between the address and data displays. Other Facilities Of The Terminal The terminal has built-in features to speed up its use, including the ability to scan at a higher speed with the keys auto repeating, to automatically roll over from its highest to lowest address and to inform the operator should a communication error occur. Auto Repeating Keys If either the UP or DOWN keys are kept pressed they automatically repeat. The repeat speed of the key increases the longer the key is held down.

CashFlow® 340 creditor Applications Design Guide Double Click Hotkeying If a key is doubled clicked (pressed twice in quick succession) then this causes the address number to increment by a larger amount. e.g. if the user starts at address number 1 then double clicks the UP key, the address will jump to 40, double click again the address will jump to address 100 etc. You can also double click the DOWN key to decrement by larger amounts. Using The Terminal As soon as the terminal is connected to a creditor it powers up and interrogates the product. The terminal display will clear and briefly show a message that indicates the version of software in the terminal. A display of [0 1.0] means software with a version number of 1.0 is fitted in the terminal.

Power up message

Software version = 1.0

After a few seconds the display will show the number [1.] or [1.-]. Not all configuration items are applicable to every product but all the address values are shown on the display. If the value for the address is applicable to the product a dash will be present at the far right position on the display. The value can then be accessed and changed if required .
No dash displayed. Address is not accessible for this product

Dash is displayed. Address is therefore accessible

37

CashFlow® 340 creditor Applications Design Guide The basic operation to alter the information held in an address is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Connect the terminal to the CashFlow® acceptor module. Wait for the terminal to power up correctly. Select the address by using the UP and DOWN keys. Examine the data by pressing the ENTER key. Alter the data value by pressing the UP or DOWN keys until the new value has been reached. Press the ENTER key to return to displaying addresses. Press the RESET key to initialise the new value.

When the terminal is displaying values stored at addresses, no decimal point will be displayed. If an error occurs with the communication between the terminal and the creditor the display will show an error message of four half height zeroes.
Error message

This message will stay on the display. Pressing the RESET key may clear the fault. The display will then revert to showing the current address. If the error occurred while updating an address then the value of that address should be checked as it may not have been updated correctly. If, after pressing the RESET key, the fault remains the error message will stay and you need to return the terminal for repair. As the screen is capable of only displaying four digits at any one time the number displayed on the screen can be scrolled if it is greater than 9999 by using the Left Key LEFT and RIGHT keys. The outside left or right digit will flash indicating an extra digit or digits can be examined by use of the scrolling keys. E.g. value is 12345 press RIGHT key

LIQUIDS
Water The units inclusive of PCBs will be splash protected. The coin entry encourages excess water towards the reject path on an accept right product, and the front of the product out of the coin path. Coin stall under these conditions will be minimised. Salt water Prolonged exposure in a salt laden atmosphere will lead to PCB corrosion damage. Suitable packaging will be required when shipped by sea. Other Liquids Exposure to these will cause impairment of function. To include: dilute carbonic acid, dilute citric acid, carbonated drinks, beer, tea, coffee, chocolate, soup, syrup and sugar residue, uric acid. Comments: · Certain beverages and the dilute acids may cause similar effects to salt water if they contact the PCB's. · Performance when wet will be similar to that described for water. · Liquids which leave a residue on drying which affects the passage of coins will cause malfunction.
