To configure and test the coin validator reference is made to the separate operating instructions of the NRI PC software "WinEMP", of the NRI Palm handheld software "PalmEMP2" and of the NRI tester (refer also to Chap. 8 "Which functions can be set using WinEMP/PalmEMP2?"): •...
G-13.mft MDB/S1 NTRODUCTION General information about the coin validator G-13.mft with MDB/S1 interface The electronic coin validator G-13.mft (multi-frequency technology) in standardized 3 1/2" format is based on the tried and tested features of the G-13.6000. Due to its modular and compact design, the G-13.mft is ideally suited for amusement, vending and service machines.
Models The G-13.mft is available as an MDB model and as an S1 model. The S1 protocol is an MDB protocol specified for NRI coin validators and differs from the standard MDB protocol with respect to commands and restrictions for mains supply and sorting.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 AFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety instructions Before operating the device for the first time, please read through these instructions carefully at least once, and most importantly the safety instructions. This is to ensure you have understood the contents of these instructions as well as how to operate the coin validator.
Never pull the connecting cable of the coin validator from the vending machine when a voltage is applied. Contact NRI if you wish to alter the construction of the device to a greater extent than that described in these instructions.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 ESIGN Coins inserted into the coin validator pass through the coin insert funnel 2 into the measurement and validation area of the device, in which their coin properties are compared with the values of the stored acceptance bands.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 ESIGN Switch assignment with single block data-management Coin channels or the coin types assigned to the coin channels can be inhibited using the first eight DIL switches of the upper switching block S1. To do this the DIL switches are assigned a coin channel randomly. A group of selected coin channels can be assigned to a switch to inhibit a number of coin channels (see section "Inhibit coin channels"...
You can obtain further information about the MDB and S1 interface: • in the "NAMA document MDB/ICP 2.0" (www.vending.org) and • in the NRI S1 specification for the G-40 S1, which will be placed at your disposal upon your request.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 ESIGN Interface – configuration (WinEMP/PalmEMP2) To configure the coin validator the device is connected to a PC or a mobile Palm handheld. For this purpose the G-13.mft has on the right-hand side a 10-pole PCB direct plug 10 (see Fig. 1a und 1b), which can be used to connect the coin validator to the PC via a tester and card reader or to a Palm handheld (see Chap.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 ESIGN Label The label of the coin validator contains all the data defining the device such as device series, device type and device operation as well as customer- specific default values such as coin type and currency: 1 2 3 4 Fig.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 UNCTION Function This chapter describes how the coin validator works, using the route which an inserted coin takes in the coin validator: • Coin acceptance and coin rejection • Coin channels • Single or double block data-management • Accepted coin sensors •...
G-13.mft MDB/S1 UNCTION Coin channels The coin validator has 32 "memory slots" for coin acceptance which can be assigned up to 32 different coin types or tokens. These "memory slots" are termed coin channels. The acceptance band of a coin type/token is allocated to a coin channel and the coin type/token is accepted in that channel.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 UNCTION Single or double block data-management At the manufacturer’s company, a customer-specific setting is programmed to determine whether the 32 coin channels are to be data-managed in one memory block or, when divided into 16 channels each, in two memory blocks (double block data-management).
In order to be able to guide the accepted coins into the cash-box or, e.g., into change tubes or hoppers, you can equip the coin validator with the NRI sorting device or with another sorting device. A larger sorting device can be connected to the S1 model due to the fact that up to eight sorting ways can be used.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 UNCTION Sorting with NRI sorting device When the optional NRI sorting device used (see also section "Accessories" in Chap. 9 "Technical data"), the individual coin types can be distributed regardless of their dimensions among the three sorting chutes. Each chute can be defined as a cash-box chute.
For details on how these functions are programmed, please refer to "NAMA document MDB/ICP 2.0" (www.vending.org) or to the NRI S1 specification for the G-40 S1, which we will be pleased to place at your disposal on request.
– to a Palm handheld for configuration with the software PalmEMP2 in the machine. In the last section of this chapter, you can find out how to fit the NRI sorting device to the G-13.mft before you install the device in the vending machine.
If necessary, install the sorting device on the coin validator (see section "Installation of the NRI sorting device ..." in this chapter). Disconnect the machine from the mains supply. Hang the coin validator in the vending machine mount using the late- ral mounting studs 1 (see Fig.
With a Palm handheld and the NRI software PalmEMP2 the G-13.mft can be directly configured on site inside the machine. The PalmEMP2 program is available on the NRI homepage. To be able to connect your Palm handheld to the coin validator, you need an NRI dongle (see section "Accessories" in Chap.

G-13.mft MDB/S1 PERATION Please refer to the label of the device to see which coin type has been assigned to which coin channel at the factory. However, this assignment can be changed at any time using the WinEMP PC configuration software or PalmEMP2.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 PERATION ... with single block data-management Coin channels can be inhibited using the first eight DIL switches S1.1–S1.8 of the upper switching block on the rear of the device. To do this the DIL switches are assigned a coin channel randomly. Several coin channels can also be assigned to one switch.

G-13.mft MDB/S1 PERATION Example – Inhibit a currency as coin group (the coin validator must only accept euros and no longer the British currency) With this setting the coin validator only accepts euros. Example – Activate narrow acceptance bands/coin channels as coin group (the coin validator must accept the 1-euro coin and the British 1-pound coin in the narrow acceptance band and not in the normal one, i.e.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 PERATION Teach mode Coin channels can also be taught directly without configuration software via the switching block on the coin validator, i.e. a coin channel is reassigned a coin type or even a token without having to remove the coin validator from the vending machine.
G-13.mft MDB/S1 PERATION Teach coin channels To assign a coin type to a new coin channel, please proceed as follows: If you want to use the lower switching block to inhibit individual coins, remember the current switch settings so that you can restore them easily for the normal operating mode at the end.
