be used in a back-stack or a down-stack configuration. For storing currency, a Security-

Removable Cassette (SRC) can be mounted either directly below or behind the validator

head. The addition of a newly designed 400-bill, Universal SRC, provides maximum secu-

rity for storing currency from 62-mm to 85-mm wide. For customers who wish to use their70-mm SRCs for storing narrow-width currencies (i.e., from 62 to 70-mm), the validator

head can be fitted with a specially-designed bezel and channel inserts.

ARGUS supports RS-232 communications which is the advanced GPT interface standard

used with the V1, V2.2, and MDB protocols supplied by GPT. This combination provides a

smooth transition for customers to the next generation of currency validation.

Interconnection of the Currency Validator with the gaming or vending machine is quick and

easy, and the parts for mounting and wiring are provided. A high level of validation and

system security, combined with reliability and longevity, make the ARGUS an ideal Cur-

rency Validator for gaming, video lottery, pull tab, vending, and currency dispensing

operations.

1.1.1 ARGUS Back-Stack Configuration

When configured as a back-stack unit (see Figure 1-1), ARGUS can be installed into gam-

ing machines that currently use GPTsGII-IBS. This configuration features a straight bill

path, up-bezel design and allows a SRC to be mounted directly behind the Currency Valida-

tor (see Figure 1-2).

1.1.2 ARGUS Down-Stack Configuration

When configured as a down-stack unit (see Figure 1-3), ARGUS can be installed into

gaming machines that currently use GPTsGII-IDS. The ARGUS-D unit is designed to fit

where downward space is available. This configuration allows a SRC to be mounted di-

rectly below the validator head (see Figure 1-4).

1.2.1.1 Optics

ARGUS identifies currency using its Red, Green, Blue, and Infrared (RGBI) optical array. Thisoptical array generates 56 channels of high-resolution data. Using 14 wide-area transmissive

and reflective detectors, and 24 emitters, the optical array can analyze 85 millimeters across

the bill without incurring any dead zones. This unique arrangement allows accurate bill rec-

ognition regardless of currency width. The four different wavelengths of emitters provide

the ability to create databases for any country using only one configuration. The high-speed,

low-noise analog-to-digital conversion circuits record 56 channels, and then processes the

information to determine the validity of the bill within 2.5 seconds.

To compensate for environmental conditions and degradation of emitters or detectors, op-

tical adjustments are performed automatically during the main idle loop. This feature

assures outstanding bill acceptance is achieved when a bill is inserted.


23/174



1.2.1.2 High-Sensitivity Magnetic Circuit

Many countries use magnetic ink to increase the security of their currency. ARGUS uses a

high-sensitivity magnetic circuit that doubles the sensitivity to detect these inks. This cir-

cuit uses a magneto-resistive head that reads magnetic signatures through the bill thereby

allowing secure four-direction acceptance.

1.2.1.3 Front and Rear Optical Sensors

ARGUS uses front and rear optical sensors to provide critical information on the bills posi-

tion in the channel. The rear optical sensors have replaced the mechanical, rear-flag

assembly used in our GII Currency Validators.

1.2.1.4 Stringing Detection

The newly designed precision mechanism and a new, side-looking optical system, shown in

Figure 1-6, detects fraud attempts. This design virtually eliminates the possibility of

strings or tapes being used to yo-yoa bill from the Currency Validator.

Figure 1-6. Side-Looking Optical System


24/174



1.2.1.5 Single-Head Configuration

Using a single-head design, ARGUS can be programmed to accept currency found in GPTs

extensive database library. The validator head can be configured to accept currencies

from 62-mm to 70-mm or 62-mm to 85-mm wide. Choices of two Lower Bezels are avail-

able to allow smooth operation for either the 70-mm and 85-mm widths.

To accept narrower width currencies (62-mm to 70-mm), the validator head is fitted with

two specially-designed channel inserts and a Lower Bezel that has a smaller bill opening.

The only tool required for this conversion is a Phillips-head screwdriver. By simply remov-

ing two screws that secure the Lower Bezel to the validator head, the service technician

can install the channel inserts and change the Lower Bezel. Channel disassembly for the

ARGUS-D is shown in Figure 1-7. (For instructions to modify the channel widths of the

ARGUS-B and ARGUS-D units, refer to Section 8.2.) After the appropriate software is

installed, the unit is ready for installation.

Figure 1-7. ARGUS-D Lower-Bezel Disassembly

1.2.1.6 Main Connector

ARGUS uses a single, 22-pin connector that can safely handle both power and interface

requirements. Normally, single-connector designs are subject to hot plugging risks that

may damage either the Currency Validator or the Host Controller. This risk is now elimi-

nated with the new power and interface electronics that are designed into the ARGUS

Currency Validator.

The XProgramX label identifies the country and contains an 8-digit alphanumeric code

that defines the software characteristics of the Currency Validator. Two different number-

ing schemes are used to define single-country and multi-country databases. For more

information, refer to Section 3.1.

The XSerial NumberXlabel contains a unique alphanumeric code that identifies the Cur-

rency Validator.

The XOrigin Country CodeXmini-label, which is usually affixed on the Serial Number

Label, uses a two-letter ISO country code to indicate the country database that the Cur-rency Validator was tested and shipped to.

The XCE/WarningX label indicates the Currency Validator complies with ETL and CETL

requirements, and it specifies the rated input power (i.e., voltage and current) that is re-

quired to safely operate the Currency Validator.

1.4 Universal Security-Removable Cassette

For all currency sizes, GPT s 85-mm Universal Security-Removable Cassette (SRC) is the

only stacker needed for the ARGUS Currency Validator. The Universal SRC, which is de-

signed with standardized components, provides reliable operation and maximum security

for storing up to 400-stacked bills2. When the cassette is full, it can be easily detached

from the Currency Validator and sent to a secure location.

2Also available is the GPTReduced-capacity SRC (storing approximately 150 bills) and the GPT Enhanced-capacity SRC (storing approximately 800 bills). Approximate storage capacities contingent upon circulation qual-ity of the currency.

2.1 Currency Validator Assemblies

Information in this chapter details the mechanical assemblies of the Currency Validator.

The Currency Validators mechanical assemblies consists of:

Main Housing Assembly

Bezel Assemblies

Channel Assembly

Electronics Tray Assembly.

2.1.1 Housing Assembly

The Housing Assembly, which forms the foundation of the Currency Validator, supports

and aligns the drive axles and rollers, and the drive stepper motor while providing mounts

for the other subassemblies of the Currency Validator. The drive axles provide motive

power to two drive belts that transport the bank note or coupon past the validation cir-

cuitry and out of the unit. The drive belts are attached to self-tensioning mechanisms to

assure a reliable and straight feed. In a unique arrangement, the belt path is designed to

provide an area suitable for the detection of stringing devices or tails by the Side-LookingOptical System.

The transport mechanism uses a stepper motor to position the bill within the currency

channel. During the bills transport process, as many as 20 validation samples, per motor

step (at 0.023 inch), are taken.

The transport mechanism consists of two timing belts and a pressure roller configuration.

The timing belts are organized to provide an area of vertical and horizontal optical inspec-

tion within the currency channel. The vertical analysis is used in the validation of bank

notes. The horizontal analysis, performed by the Side-Looking Sensors (SLS), is used ex-

clusively for the detection of tethers and/or strings attached to bank notes or coupons.

Any trailors detected by the SLS are cause for automatic rejection of a note by the Cur-

rency Validator. A record of this event is logged within the Currency Validator and

Soft-Drop Analyzer (SDA), along with a message sent to the Host Controller for appropri-

ate action.


29/174



2.1.2 Bezel Assemblies

The Bezel Assemblies, which comprise the Upper-Bezel Assembly and the Lower-Bezel As-

sembly, provide bill alignment and guidance into the Currency Validators transport

mechanism. Made of injection-molded plastic, the Upper-Bezel Assembly is easily cleaned

and maintained. With its built-in LED display electronics, the upper bezel emits a strobe-light, runway pattern that aids to identify the bill entry point for the user. This display also

provides diagnostic information and host machine status to service personnel.

A newly added feature of the Upper-Bezel Assembly is the Spring-Loaded Latch mecha-

nism. This mechanism comprises two latches and striker plates that securely close the

Upper-Guide Assembly to the Main Housing Assembly. When both latches are released,

access to the currency channel can be obtained for cleaning purposes.

With the ARGUS Currency Validator, a choice of two Lower-Bezel Assemblies are available

to handle either narrow-width (62 to 70-mm) or wide-width (70 to 85-mm) currencies.

The Lower Bezels, which ensure reliable operation for all currency sizes, are easily at-

tached to the Lower-Guide Assembly. When configured for narrow-width currencies, the

currency channel must be fitted with specially-designed channel inserts. These insertsguide the narrow-width currency as it passes from the Lower Bezel, through the channel,

and into the Security-Removable Cassette.

2.1.3 Channel Assembly

The Channel Assembly consists of two subassemblies: The Upper-Guide Assembly and the

Lower-Guide Assembly.

The Upper-Guide Assembly serves as the upper half of the currency channel. It supports

and contains the pressure rollers that force the currency against the drive belts for trac-

tion. It also supports and locates the optical sensors and the magnetic head that

examines the bank note as it passes through the unit. To protect the optical sensors, a

clear, optical window, which is molded from an optical-grade polycarbonate, is inserted

over the sensors. The optical window has ridges molded into the surface to minimize the

surface area that the bank note travels within the channel.

The Upper-Guide Assembly is attached at its lower end so that it can pivot completely

away from the rest of the unit for quick access to the currency channel. This allows easy

cleaning of the currency channel and/or parts of the transport mechanism. When closed,

the Upper-Guide Assembly is securely latched to the Housing Assembly by two Spring-

Loaded Latches.

The Lower-Guide Assembly, which guides the bank note onto the drive belts and pressure

rollers, makes up the lower half of the currency channel. The Lower-Guide Assembly also

supports and locates the optical sensors which are protected by a clear, optical window.Integrated into the Housing Assembly, the Lower-Guide Assembly is factory aligned to the

Upper-Guide Assembly for accurate, reliable operation.

2.1.4 Electronics Tray Assembly

The Electronics Tray Assembly contains the intelligence that controls the functional, valida-

tion, communications, diagnostic, and display functions. This assembly comprises the

following Printed Circuit Boards (PCB):

Reflective Array PCB

Power Supply Motor Driver (PSMD) PCB

Central Processing Unit (CPU) PCB.

The Electronics Tray Assembly is designed to allow easy removal of the PCBs for repair

and/or replacement.

2.2 Universal Security-Removable Cassette

GPTsUniversal Security-Removable Cassette (SRC), shown in Figure 2-1, is a removable

storage module that provides reliable operation and maximum security for bills acceptedby the Currency Validator. Providing a storage capacity for 400-stacked bills with a width

from 62 to 85-mm, the Universal SRC easily attaches to the Currency Validator.

Figure 2-1. Universal Security-Removable Cassette

Depending on the specific application, different levels of security may be provided for the

removal and replacement of the Universal SRC. For the standard Universal SRC configura-

tion, a door lock is used to secure the bills. If additional security is desired, an optional

dual-lock configuration is available.


31/174



In place of the Universal SRC, GPT s 70-mm SRC can be used to store narrower-width

currencies between 62-mm and 70-mm wide. When this SRC is used, the Currency Valida-

tor must be fitted with channel inserts and a specially-designed Lower Bezel. These parts

can prevent bill jams as the currency passes through the currency channel to the SRC (re-

fer to GPT 's ARGUS I ns ta l la t ion and Users ' Guid e, Pub. No. G3M0082, latest

revision).

As an option, the tracking of transaction information is accomplished by installing the Soft-

Drop Analyzer (SDA). The SDA contains a memory device that allows the user to retrieve

data, such as monetary and statistical information, without opening the cassette.

2.2.1 Soft-Drop Analyzer Option

SRCs purchased byGPT customers can include, as an option, GPT s proprietary Soft-Drop

Analyzer (SDA) technology. The SDA is designed to automatically record monetary and

statistical data for each bill or coupon processed by the Currency Validator. In addition,

the SDA provides pertinent information related to the Currency Validator (i.e., asset num-

ber, machine number, and chip family information). Four classifications of data recorded

by the SDA are:

1. System Identification 2. Note Transaction

3. Coupon Data 4. Diagnostics

When RS-232 DEMO program is installed on an IBM compatible PC, the user can access

the data stored in the SDA memory module. This module provides a serial communication

link with the Currency Validator. When the user clicks on the Read Memory command but-

ton on the SDA screen, monetary (i.e., number of bills sorted by denomination) and

statistical information (i.e., number of bills rejected) appears (see Figure 2-2). For de-

tailed information concerning the installation and operation of the RS-232 DEMO, refer to

GPT s Web site at www.gpt.com, select Technical Manuals, then select RS-232 Demo,

located in the Preliminary Product Manualscategory.

Another software application, named Synergy Connect Professional (SCPro), was de-

signed by GPT to simulate the functions of the Host Controller. SCPro is a Windows-

based PC application that allows the user to easily connect to GPT s Currency Validators

configured with either the V2.2 Standard or V2.2 Extended Protocols. In addition to ac-

cessing the data stored in the SDA memory module, SCPro allows the user to perform

validator setup, testing, software updates, and software development. To obtain a copy of

SCPro Users Referen ce Man ua l, Pub. No.G9S3094, contact GPT Customer Service

or visit GPT s Web site.

2.2.2 Cassette Description

The Universal SRC features an electrical connector that easily self-aligns to the Currency

Validator and joins electrically to it. The cassettes housing is ruggedly constructed of

heavy gauge, welded-steel and is designed so that access to the stored bills is only possi-

ble by unlocking the hinged, steel door at the rear of the module. Based on a time-testeddesign of simplicity and reliability, the Universal SRC is available with a level of intelligence

(i.e., Soft Drop Analyzer) to enhance the management of mone tary records.

The cassettes major subassemblies are:

Stacker weldment assembly

Motor/pusher plate assembly.

Read Memory

Command Button


33/174



2.2.2.1 Stacker Weldment Assembly

The Stacker Weldment Assembly is a sturdy, locked-steel box capable of storing

400-stacked bills, or bills in combination with coupons. Designed with security in mind, the

container features a minimum of joints and seams to prevent unauthorized entry. Author-

ized entry is allowed through a hinged, steel door which is secured with one-tubular or

two-tubular, tamperproof key locks. (SRCs are also available without locks).

The cassette contains a spring-loaded pressure plate that supports the stack and a pair of

support rails on which presented bills lie prior to the stacking operation. The exterior of

the cassette is finished in an attractive, durable black finish.

Within the box is an upper cavity enclosed by a removable, stamped-steel cover. Con-

tained within the upper cavity are:

Stacker drive mechanism

Blind mate connector that connects to the Currency Validator

Memory module for electronically storing cassette identification, diagnostic and

content information. This information can be retrieved using the Soft-Drop Ana-

lyzer which is available as an option.

Infrared sensor used for positioning of pusher plate.

2.2.2.2 Motor/Pusher Plate Assembly

The Motor/Pusher Plate Assembly, which contains a DC motor and a slider-crank mecha-

nism, stacks bills in a simple and reliable manner. When the appropriate signal is received

from the Currency Validator, the motor makes one revolution. This action cycles the

pusher plate through one complete linear extension-retraction cycle. On extension, the

pusher plate pushes the bill past the support rails against the pressure plate. On retrac-

tion, the bill is now trapped below the support rails and is held there by the pressure plate.

The pusher plate continues to its retracted position and is ready for the next cycle.

NOTES ON LAST 5 TRANSACTION FUNCTIONS

This function will cause the last five bills inserted into the validator to be displayedby the bezel. The last bill will be displayed first. Each denominations bill type isdisplayed by the bezel's green LEDs. The green LEDs encode the bill type in binaryformat, as follows:

8-------

4-----

2---

1--

WIDEST ROW = 1

NARROWEST ROW = 8

Examples:

8-------

4-----

2---

1--

Bill Type 1 Bill Type 6

(LEDs 1 are lit) (LEDs 2 and 4 are lit)

To determine the bills denomination, refer to Currency Information Table, Sheet 1.

A full cycle of information consists of several parts. The first bill is displayed by thebezel for half-a-second. Next, the unit is dark for half -a-second. The unit repeatsthis process for the second, third, and fourth bills. After the last bill is displayed bythe bezel for half-a-second, the unit will be dark for one second to signal the end ofthe cycle. This process continues indefinitely until DIP-Switch 7 is set to Normaloperation.

3.3 Protocols

The ARGUS Currency Validator supports serial RS-232 communications, which is the inter-

face convention used with either the Standard or Extendedversions of the V2.2 Protocol

supplied by GPT. In addition to this protocol, GPTsupports the various industry-standard

communication protocols that are commonly used for vending, gaming, and video lottery

machines. For these other industry-s tandard communication protocols, a GPT ProtocolAdapter Assembly (PAA) is required3. This device allows ARGUS to communicate with the

Host Controller.

Some of the industry-standard and GPTprotocols available for the ARGUS Currency Valida-

tor are:

The High-Level protocol is available for those applications that have only a simple control

board or control mechanism available. With this protocol,
