5.1.1 Quick coin acceptance in Casino mode
If you are using the v
2
colibri in gaming machines, the device can be switched to Casino mode
so that inserted coins can be accepted faster (up to six coins per second instead of two per
second)
(cf. Chap. 7.4 Activating Casino mode, p. 34)
.
5.2 Single or double block data-management
At the factory, the device is programmed on a customer‑specific basis whether the 32 coin
channels of the coin validator are managed in one memory block or, divided up into 16 channels
each, in two memory blocks (double block data‑management).
If double block data‑management is configured, the v
2
colibri can manage two (memory) blocks 0
and 1 that are programmed independently of one another
(cf. Chap. 4.3 Nameplate, p. 16)
. 16 coin
channels with different coin types (also currencies), sorting information etc. can be assigned to
each block. Only one block at a time can be active and used for coin measurement and further
coin processing. You choose the desired block using the top switch block on the device
(cf. Chap. 7.1
Selecting memory block (for double block data-management only), p. 28)
.
5.3 Accepted coin sensor
To ensure that accepted coins get to the cash-box or an external sorting device and that acceptance
is not tampered with, an accepted coin sensor (light barrier) checks before the cash‑box coin exit
[

] whether the inserted coin drops without hindrance through the coin outlet
towards the cash-box or the sorting device. Only when the coin has passed these checking
devices, does the system either accept the coin or, in the case of tampering, transmit an error
code to the machine
(cf. Chap. 10.2.1.3 ccTalk error code table, p. 42).
If the accepted coin sensors are covered permanently, e.g. by a coin jam, coin acceptance is
inhibited.
If the v
2
colibri is used in Casino mode, the coin validator cannot use the
accepted coin sensor in favour of fast coin acceptance. In Casino mode,
coin acceptance is transferred before the coin passes the accepted
coin sensor. This means that the coin validator's acceptance gate can
be tampered with, e.g. by a coin being inserted attached to a string.
5.4 String recognition
To protect the device from string tampering, the accepted coin sensor in the v
2
colibri is designed
such that coin acceptance is only transferred to the machine if the coin passes the accepted
coin sensor from the direction of the insert funnel. If a coin was pulled back on a string, the
system transfers an error code
(cf. Chap. 10.2.1.3 ccTalk error code table, p. 42)
. Pulling back a coin is
also made more difficult by the design of the coin validator.
