Instructions on the Firmware Upgrade for Bank Note Validators 

NC 320, NC 330 and NC 340 

It may be necessary to update the firmware and adjust the settings of the NC 320, NC 330 and NC 340 bank 

note validators if parameters for detecting forged bank notes must be adapted. Introduction of new Euro 

bank notes may also make it necessary. 

 

First of all, please check whether a firmware update is necessary. The firmware versions currently valid are 

listed below (they appear briefly in the display when the machine is switched on): 

 

NC 320:    Display: 320 u4_2

    (Firmware validates the 50 Euro bank note, December 2016) 

NC 330:    Display: 330 u4_0

    (Firmware validates the 50 Euro bank note, December 2016) 

NC 340:    Display: 340 u4_0

    (Firmware validates the 50 Euro bank note, December 2016) 

 

If an older version appears in the display, an update is necessary. 

 

To complete the update, you need:   

a)  The 

programme to transfer

 the firmware to the processor in the bank note validator.   

b)  The firmware as a 

programme code

 (cannot be read as text). 

The  programme  for  data  transfer  and  the  programme  code  of  the  machine  are  provided  on  the 

Olympia homepage. 

c)  A 

serial data transfer cable

 (assuming your computer is equipped with a RS232 serial port). Since 

most modern laptops are no longer equipped with serial ports, a USB-to-serial adapter cable must 

be used. This cable can be obtained from a computer shop or from Olympia. Please note that this 

cable contains electronics which make it necessary to install the corresponding driver regardless of 

the operating system used.

d)  A serial 

null modem cable

. This is equipped with Sub-Min-D connectors and the poles 2 and 3 are 

crossed. This cable can also be obtained from a computer shop or from Olympia.
