 CORRECT USE
BANKNOTE READER: • do not touch the switches if not necessary, this will
permanently erase all the data in the memory, thus
blocking the money changer.
• Make sure worn out banknotes or banknotes with adhesive
tape on them are not introduced in the machine it may
cause jamming.
• Make sure artificial or sun light does not directly hit the
opening of the reader, to guarantee an appropriate
validation of the notes.

Coin/Token hopper: Be very careful while loading the coins/tokens, make sure all
external objects such as screws, metal tips, etc. are removed
because they could damage the machine.

appear on the display.
They will disappear automatically after a few seconds.
When the change machine is operating, the display can show 4 lines with 20 characters
each, it is updated every 3 seconds in order to cyclically display all the data. The first time
you can use the display to show an advertising message, the second and even the third time
you can use the display to indicate that the change machine is in service.

GENERAL PARAMETER SETTING-UP PROCEDURE

Enter the relevant menu and select the relevant function to set the operating parameters of
the change machine. This paragraph explains how to set the parameters.
- Just select the relevant function to enter the various functions. The function chosen will
start flashing. Use “+” and “-“ to move between the functions and “OK” to confirm.
Press “OK” to confirm the values, the display will show the figures of the value, use “OK”
to move from left to right, use “-“ to move from right to left. Once you have reached the
desired position, marked by the flashing characters, use “+” to determine the figure from 0
to 9. Press “OK” to confirm and move. After you confirm the last figure, the set value will
appear on the display. At this point if you need to change the other parameters continue
programming by pressing “OK”, otherwise you can return to the Programming menu by
keeping “-“ pressed.
Example of value modification:

PROGRAMMING
You can set or change the operating parameters of the machine from the programming
menu. The functions you can program in the various sections of the programming menu are
listed and described below.
Press “+” and “-“ to scroll the various functions, press “OK” to confirm the selected item
highlighted by the flashing characters.

- HOPPER VALUE:

The values of the tokens, coins or cards that the change machine must pay out are set in this
section of the menu:
Example:
VALUE OF PIECES DISPENSED:
NR 1 COINS 100
NR 2 COINS 200
NR 3 COINS 500
NR 4 TOKEN 1000

Identification of the position Field of values of pieces

of the hopper and type of content. to payout.
See internal diagram on page 6

Doc.M17/05.01
Rev. N°00
Del 25/05/01
Pag. 10di 25
The field of the assignment of the values of the pieces to pay out should be set according to
the monetary value of each piece. In other words, if you decide that Hopper 1 of the change
machine must pay out 100 lira coins, you just need to set value 100 on line NR1. Please
refer to paragraph “Parameter setting general procedure” on Page 9.

-EXTERNAL VEND VALUE:

The change machine has one relay exit, that can be used for any external application to the
machine. The value of the transactions can be set in this section (relay contact), both in
terms of prices and duration. After the price has been defined and programmed, you can
decide the duration of the service in 3 ways, a 100 msec impulse, the time in seconds or
minutes. Please refer to paragraph “Parameter setting general procedure” on Page 9.

Example: EXTERNAL VEND VALUE

LIT = 10.000
TIMING
100ms SEC/MIN=90

-PAYOUT PROGRAMMING
You can program 9 levels of change in this section. Five different combinations are
available for each level. The level of change is the value at which we want the machine to
make the change. The value in brackets is the value that will be paid out, if it equals the
value outside of the brackets the change machine will make an equal change, for example:
Lit.1000 = 10 pieces of Lit. 100.
If when you introduce a Lit. 10,000 banknote you want the machine to pay out 12 tokens of
Lit.1000, i.e. we want to give a BONUS, the set value will be L. 10,000, where as the value
paid out will be L. 12,000.

Example: You want to program the change machine to make the change using only L.100
coins

Note: By setting the change according to the banknote or the smallest coin, you don’t need
to set the changes of the others because they will be considered a multiple number of
the others.

 - MASTER HOPPER
If necessary, you can decide to make one hopper the primary one. In this case, if that
dispenser is empty or broken, the entire change machine will be blocked.

NONE
1 COINS 3 COINS
2 COINS 4 COINS

Simply highlight the function to access it, the function will be displayed by the flashing
character, press “OK”, then choose the desired option by shifting with “+” and “-“, to
confirm press “OK”.

- AUTOMATIC PAYOUT
You can use this function to set a figure, and after it has been reached, the change machine
will automatically pay out the value.
If you set the value of the automatic threshold to Lira 10,000 for example, the change
machine will give you the possibility to manually choose the payout among the set tables up
to a value of Lire 9,900, press the payout key to obtain the change. By introducing a 100
Lire coin, after reaching the threshold, the change machine will automatically pay out the
coins.

AUTOMATIC PAYOUT
THRESHOLD
YES NO

Please refer to paragraph “Parameter setting general procedure” on Page 9, to set the
automatic threshold value

- MAX VEND VALUE

Use this function to set the maximum introduction limit. After reaching this value, the
change machine can accept only one note or coin.
After exceeding the Maximum Limit number, the change machine will send off a signal,
and it will block all payment systems. The only operations possible will be the change
operation.
You cannot set a value lower than the highest banknote nor lower than the highest level. If
this happens accidentally the set figure will be ignored and the limit will be the one of the
highest banknote or table value.

 -RESIDUAL CREDIT
The residual credit function allows you to choose three different ways to manage the
residual credit, which is the fraction of the smallest entity that can be paid out..
RESIDUAL CREDIT?

YES
YES FOR X MINUTES
NO

By selecting “YES”, the change machine will memorize the possible residual credit that
cannot be physically paid out and it will take it into account during the next change
operation.
By selecting “NO” at the end of the change operation the possible residual credit would be
set to zero.
By selecting “YES” for “X” minutes you can set a time, after which the change is
automatically set to zero.

SOLUTION:
- Make sure there are enougth coins in the hopper.
- Empty out the hopper by following the procedure on page
15, afterwards switch off the machine and remove the
hopper.
- On the top of the hopper there are two brass plates, these
are basically coin detection sensor.
- Take a cloth, spray on some alcohol, clean the two plates to
remove the grease and oxidation build up.
- If the message still persist after you have filled up the
hopper contact the Comestero service office.

 MAINTENANCE OF THE BANKNOTE READER
NV4/NV5
PROBLEM: THE READER DOES NOT ACCEPT THE BANKNOTES

SOLUTION: INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE OF READER NV5

This procedure could be necessary when the efficiency of the reader has decreased
considerably. For instance, if it rejects too many banknotes due to dust. In this case you need
to both mechanically and electronically clean the reader. Open the reader very carefully, use
a paper tissue, clean the lenses and dry them immediately to remove any halo.
Take a piece of white paper, like the one used for printers and copiers, to carry out this
operation. The quality of the paper and its cleanliness are the factors that count most in this
operation.
Cut the sheet of paper to the size of a L. 100,000 banknote, now follow the procedure below.

1- Put the black switch on “TEACH”, after switching off the machine.

2- Press the “CHANNEL” button near the switch and keep it pressed.

3- Release the button.
