About the v
2
colibri
The v
2
colibri coin validator with a serial ccTalk interface in the standard 3.5“ format is based
on the tried and tested features of the G-13.mft and also uses the patented multi-frequency
measuring technology (MFT) for reliable coin validation. Communication with the machine control
is via a ccTalk specified four‑pin male connector. Due to its compact and modular design, the
v
2
colibri is used above all in entertainment, vending and service machines.
For coin acceptance, the coin validator has available 32 coin channels that can be managed
either in a single memory block or divided into two memory blocks – 2 x 16 coin channels – with
different coin configurations; in both cases, the blocks can be switched on an individual basis.
Depending on the application, you can fit the coin validator with an optional front plate and it
can control a 3-fold sorter.
To be able to react as quickly as possible to new false coins and to make your individual settings,
the coin validator can be configured on site in the machine using a service tool or in the workshop
via a PC programming station.
You can also configure coins or tokens that are ignored ex‑works without needing configuration
software, you just insert the coins in teach mode on the coin validator.
