1.1 Introduction
The ARGUS Currency Validator, which is designed with a configurable validator head, can
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).

1.2.1.1 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

3.1 Program and Database Assignments
Program and database assignments for single-country and multi-country databases are
shown in this section. GPTuses an 8-digit alphanumeric code, which is found on the Pro-
gram Label (see Figure 1-8), to designate the country, machine type, and database and
software parameters for its Currency Validators.
The numbering assignment for a single-country database is defined as follows:
The first two letters represent the ISO country code
The next two digits specify the database revision (up to 99, maximum)
The remaining four characters specify the software type and revision. The first

3.2 Program Specification Sheets
Program Specification Sheets contain detailed information about the software loaded into
the Currency Validator. To obtain information about the protocol, currency type, channel
size, and DIP-switch settings for your Currency Validator, refer to GPTs Web site at
http://www.gpt.com/_softdatashts/Default.htmand perform the instructions indicated.
A sample Program Specification Sheet is provided in Figure 3-1. To address the different
aspects of the software, the Program Specification Sheet is divided into the following sec-
tions:
General contains general characteristics such as the machine type, ISO code,
program revision number, currency type, I/O protocols, channel size; also, refer-
ence documents and additional program information (e.g., magnetic head type)
are included.
Currency/Codes of Bank Notes Accepted lists bank notes and their associated
VFM or Hex codes accepted by the program.
Special Program Functions and References defines protocols used with the Cur-
rency Validator; it also contains custom application information requested by thecustomer.
DIP-Switch Functions and Definitions Table/Notes identifies DIP-switch settings
and defines the currency denominations/directions supported by the program.
Note: The DIP switches are set to the onposition when they are pointing
toward their respective numbers.
Notes on Last 5 Transaction Functions displays a binary code on the bezel that
represents the denomination of the last five bills, starting with the last bill, that
were inserted into the Currency Validator.
LED Status Codes displays a flashing code that identifies the Currency Validator'sStates, i.e., Idle, Inhibit, or Fault.
Note: To determine the status code, wait until the red LED stops flashing,
then start counting flashes until the LED stops again.

Description VFM SERIAL PROTOCOL
The VFM serial protocol uses a Mars defined TTL level serial handshak-
ing. It allows communication of the accepted bill values and status to
the host in an 8-bit word using one data line and three control lines.
VFM PULSE PROTOCOLThe VFM pulse protocol uses a Mars defined TTL level pulse that de-
fines the bill denomination and the credit information selected with the
DIP switches. The Escrow mode is not supported.

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:
GPT High-Level Pulse
GPTA2/A2A Custom Parallel4
VFM/GL5 Serial/Pulse
