6.8.3
Inhibit Control
The Inhibits can be used to either enable or disable the acceptance of those
banknotes programmed on channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. The Inhibits are internally held
high and must be set to low (GND) to enable banknote acceptance. If no Inhibit is
set to low (GND) the Master Inhibit is set and the NV10 USB/+ is disabled
6.8.4
Busy Control
This is a general-purpose busy signal. It is active low (Pin 9) while the N is
in operation.
6.8.5
Low Power Mode
The Low Power Mode can be used to reduce the power consumption of the
N when idle. When the Low Power Mode option is set, the N
goes into the Low Power Mode after about 6 seconds after the N is
powered up and remains in this state until a note is entered. Following a note
insertion, the N returns to Low Power Mode approximately 1 second after
a credit is given or note is rejected. Please, refer to
6.8.6
Credit Hold Function
This function is only available if the validator is set to operate in Pulse mode.
If the credit hold function is enabled (either by configuration card or BNV Currency
Manager Program), the validator will take the note as normal but then wait until the
escrow line is toggled low/high. It will then give out the number of pulses per note
denomination as set when programmed. After the pulses have been generated, the
validator will then wait for another low/high toggle until the full value of credit
pulses are given. As an example, with a setting of 4 pulses per banknote, a 5 euro
note will give 4 pulses, 5 times. A typical use of this option would be for a pool table
with a game
price of €1. You could insert a €5 note and press a button that toggles
the escrow line and releases the pool balls; this would then allow you to play the
first game. The validator holds onto the remaining credits until the game has
finished and the button is pressed again allowing the next game to begin, this
continues until all the credits have been used. The busy line remains low throughout
the whole process and the validator remains inhibited until all pulses are given.
6.9
Escrow Control
The NV10 USB/+ has a single note escrow facility (pin 10) used in Parallel, Pulse and
Binary modes. This allows the Validator to hold onto the note once accepted, and
only stack the note into the cash box when the host machine confirms that the vend
operation has been completed. If no confirmation of vend is received then the note
will be returned to the customer after 30 seconds. For timing diagrams please refer
