ITL Bank Note Validator Currency Manager
Notes:
· The Validator must be set to Programming Mode (SSP) when connected to a computer or
DA3 and then returned to the original Settings when complete (See Chapter 4.2.3).
· ITL BNV Currency Manager 3.2.0 or Higher must be used to access the BV100 functions.
· Datasets can only be downloaded to a BV100 with the correct bezel width for the
currency. For example a USD dataset can only be downloaded to a 66 mm BV100.
A Euro dataset can only be downloaded to a 72 mm BV100.
The ITL BNV Currency Manager software offers the following functions:
· Program the Validator by downloading pre-prepared currency data via the DA1 or DA2 kit.
· Check the firmware version and currency set already loaded on a BV100 unit.
· Adjust the channel and pulse configuration on a pre-programmed BV100 to your own
requirements.
· Download a new version of firmware onto the BV100.
· Use diagnostic functions to check Validators operation.
The software will run on an IBM compatible Personal Computer with Pentium™ processor
or equivalent (see the General Description chapter for operating system requirements).
The BV100 can be connected directly via the USB port, or with either a DA1 kit fitted to the
serial port or DA2 kit fitted to the USB port. (See Appendix F – Interface Tools DA1 – DA2)
Validator Programming System (DA3)
The DA3 is a programming system designed to enable the programming of ITL Bank Note
Validators in the field without the use of a PC.
Once the DA3 has been programmed the user can:
· Update the existing software within a validator to the latest versions using the BNV
Match Download function.
· Reprogram the validator to accept a different currency using the BNV Override Download
function.
· Test the functionality of the validator away from the Host machine.
For full DA3 operation and functionality details please refer to the DA3 User Manual
(Document number GA339)
Note: When using the DA3 BNV Match Download function, any pulses and channel
allocations programmed into the BV100 will not be retained. The user must ensure that
the required dataset options are set and saved before programming the DA3.
When programming a BV100 using the DA3 BNV Override Download function, the
firmware interface is unchanged. A Configuration Card must be used after re-
programming if a different interface is required.
