3.4.2. Firmware update of the Validator/Separator group
To carry out the firmware update, it is necessary to unhook
the Validator/Separator group from the Coin Mechanism by
acting on the fastening clip (see para. 2.1.3. “Installation
modes”).
Remove the Validator/Separator group from the Coin Mecha-
nism’s Base, turn it by 180 degrees and replace it in the proper
seats. In this way it is possible to carry out the firmware update
and at the same time to keep the connection between the Vali-
dator/Separator group and the Coin Mechanism.
