GENERAL INFORMATION
The RM5 detector is the result of the investment made by Comestero to offer the market a reliable and extremely
versatile product. The project started two years before the introduction of our new currency, the EURO. We made
considerable investments, as well as trips to the various European money mints in order to launch a state-of-the-art
product on the market. Thanks to this commitment we noticed several differences in the various coins produced in the
mints and even in the coins of the same mint. These differences mainly depended on the alloy, i.e. the metal used. To
face this problem, to make the token dispenser accept the highest number of Euro possible, although structurally
different, the new RM5 coin detector was made in order to have 60 channels, thus increasing the calibration possibility
up to 60 different coins.
RM5s modern electronic system combines the extraordinary selectivity of the seven measurement sensors, with the
extreme versatility of the CLONING system that allows for the duplication of the token dispenser directly on site in just a
few seconds.
The RM5 series of electronic token dispensers was created to meet the wide range of requirements of the sectors that
use this product. Especially:
-

automatic distribution
re-creational
gas stations
parking areas
photocopiers
etc.

The RM5 series includes 10 versions with different performances to better adapt to the various applications.

PIN-OUT OF SERIAL CONNECTOR

Starting from serial number 90000, every electronic RM5 token dispenser, whatever its configuration, is fitted with a
serial output. Hence, whenever you need to connect it or manage it via PC you just need to connect the relevant
interface cable to create the relevant software.
The token dispenser answers the PC by sending the value of the inserted coin.

WAKE-UP CONNECTOR
In the applications that require a low consumption token dispenser, at request we can supply a special version fitted with
a wake-up device.
When this feature is activated, the token dispenser is normally in a Stop status, with very low consumption rates.
Afterwards, when the first coin is inserted, the token dispenser restores its standard functions for a limited period of time,
and then it returns in Stop status.

LABEL
To make token identification easier, i.e. the configuration ( operating modalities) and the calibration (type of coins
accepted), below is the graphic representation of the label placed on the back part of the token dispenser.
The label identifies:
The serial number of the token dispenser
Typology ( V,G,F)
Configuration
Calibration
Coin value and set channels
Coin dispenser
Power supply
Lets consider the label represented below:
As you can see the label is formed by 10 squares per line ( VALUE ) and before this there is a series of rectangles
(OUT).
Inside the squares there is the Value of the calibrated coin, to identify the channel just read the Value that identifies
the first channel of the line and count the number of squares. For example, the second value on the third line identifies
the 22nd channel.
The rectangle OUT represents the out channel.

MODEL
In order to meet the requirements of various markets, Vending, Games, Car wash, etc. the mechanical features of token
dispenser comes in three different models:
MODEL V (Vending)
MODEL F (Reduced front panel)
MODEL G (Games)

Models V and F, are substantially the same, as regards the output of accepted and rejected coins, but they are
different as regards the application. Model V can be used both for front application with F6 front panel ( Cod. RM F6),
illustrated on page 19, and for application on the typical Vending token dispensers size 5 fitted with the relevant
mechanical adapter (Cod. RM ADAPTER / 5 ).
Whereas model F can be used only for front application both with F6 front panel and reduced F1 panel ( Cod. RM F1)
illustrated on page 20.
Model G can be applied on the relevant vertical insertion supports, such as standard video doors or front panels series
RM37/IL or doors with LED, with coin separator.

PROGRAMMING SYSTEMS
Thanks to the state-of-the-art electronic system of these products, the token dispenser can be programmed in three
different modalities:
-

SELF-PROG FUNCTION
PORTABLE CALIBRATOR
PC KIT

SELF-PROG FUNCTION
The SELF-PROG function is very useful when you need to program a currency or a coin directly on the machines on
which they are installed, because the first six channels of the RM5 token dispenser can be reprogrammed without using
external devices. Besides programming the coin/token on the specific channel you may need to change other
parameters of the token machine, such as the assignment of values, in this case you need to use the Portable Calibrator
or the PC kit.
Programming the token or the coin on channel 6

Put the 6 DIP-SWITCHES on ON when the machine is switched off.

Switch the machine on and introduce 15 coins / tokens.

Wait for the end-of-programming double clack

Put the DIP switches on OFF

Turn the token dispenser off and then back on

Seite 8 Datum 10.12.02 A.u.S. Spielgerte Seitenanzahl

19 G:\FORMULAR\Manual\Mnzprfer\seci\RM5neuGB

Programming the token or the coin on channels from 1 to 5

Put the 6 DIP-SWITCHES on ON when the machine is switched off

Switch the machine on and introduce 1 or 2 coins

Leave the SWITCH of the channel to program on ON

Introduce coins until you hear the end-of-programming double clack

Put the DIP switches on OFF

Turn the token dispenser off and then back on

NOTE:

After this procedure the first two coins may be rejected.

With this operation the new calibration (coin/token) will maintain the previously set value. In the configuration
X 21, the credit will be the previously set game cost.

PORTABLE CALIBRATOR
The greatest innovation which is the strong point of the token dispenser, especially in this period of great changes, is the
Portable Calibrator, the RM5 PROGRAMMER which besides changing all the functions of the dispenser on site also
includes the CLONING function.
This function allows you to retrieve data from a token dispenser, or from a PC and transfer them into another one,
making it identical to the first: calibration, configuration and options.
There is also an EASY version, more economic, which is not provided with all the functions, such as configuration and
duplication.
For these functions and for the performances offered by the two models we suggest referring to the portable calibrator
manual.

PC KIT
The computer kit is certainly the most complete system to calibrate and check every single option of the token dispenser.
It includes a token dispenser support, a CD-ROM which contains the software, the interface cable fitted with an SMD
card for RS232connection, a feeder and a test box useful to feed and check the correct operating of the token dispenser.
We suggest referring to the manual of the PRORM5 PC Kit

19 G:\FORMULAR\Manual\Mnzprfer\seci\RM5neuGB

VALIDATOR CONFIGURATION (RM5 X 00)

In standard validator configuration, RM5 can manage up to 6 different coin values, that is up to 6 different outputs.
Validator standard means a token dispenser that after the introduction of a coin, gives a pulse on the matching output as
validation signal. The length of the pulse is standard :100 mse, however you can program it between 10 and 630 msec.
To inhibit one or more coins programmed on the first 6 channels just put the DIP-SWITCH of the relevant channel you
wish to inhibit on ON. To inhibit the coins programmed on the channels following 6 use the PC or RM5 PROGRAMMER
kit.
The token dispenser has a general inhibitor pin, PIN 6 (see connector), which if set HIGH ( +5Vdc, +12Vdc. ) completely
inhibits the token dispenser, hence each coin inserted would always be rejected. Usually this pin is controlled by the
machine if the machine itself is out-of-order.
You can also inhibit the token dispenser after a pre-set number of inserted coins, by setting, always using the relevant
programming kits (PC Kit or RM5 PROGRAMMER.), the function coin insert limit.
When the token dispenser reaches the programmed threshold it is disabled, to re-able it you need to use the relevant
programming kits.
This application is used especially on the "BINGO" machines and small coffee machines and in all the machines in which
you wish to limit coin insertion.
If you want to separate the coins or tokens you can fit the machine with a coin separator. In this case the token dispenser
must be programmed via PRORM5, to control the separator ( RM5 X 01 ). When the separator function is engaged, the
token dispenser can manage the first 4 channels, because the outputs related to channels 5 and 6 (Pin 3 and 4) are
used to control the separation reels.
NOTE: the RM5 X 00 validator is totally interchangeable with G13 validator of NRI, with validator C 120 of the COIN
CONTROLS, with the AZKOYEN , MS 130 MARS, G18 NRI validator and the FAGE validator. By using the relevant
mechanical adapter it can be changed from 3.5 to standard 5 thus becoming also mechanically interchangeable with
the following token dispensers at 24 VDC when they are assembled on an RM1000 support or on Juke Boxes with 5
token dispenser. There is also an interface that makes the validator electronically interchangeable with the MRS 111
token dispensers PNP output (int. MR5 111), as well as mechanically, by using the front panel Cod. RM F3. on page 21.

DUAL PRICE TOTALIZER CONFIGURATION (RM5 X 10)

The token dispenser can recognize 60 coins that can have up to 60 different values, it does the sum and directly controls
a Display to show the inserted amount. When it acquired a credit equal to the sales price, it engages the relevant line
which remains engaged until it receives the reset signal.
By using the portable RM5-PROGRAMMER you can engage and/or change various options, including:
-

Sales counter, the token dispenser has two internal counters, one for each price line.
Machine stop: you can activate one or two sales thresholds, one for each price line and stop the machine when it
reaches a pre-set sales number
You can engage an indicator (display flashing) when the machine, reaches the sale stop value
The token dispenser does not give change but can credit the extra coins introduced for the new operation
You can program the type of reset
INTERNAL times (RM5 V 14)
EXTERNAL passive

Normally the token dispenser is supplied with passive reset, i.e. a low signal is given on Pin 6 (0Vdc) for at least
100msec. For particular applications, i.e. machines that do not manage a reset signal, you can program an External
reset and set the duration time. When this time is reached the token dispenser automatically runs a reset.
The display can show the coins introduced in increasing number from zero up to the sales price: or in decreasing
numbers from the sales price to zero.

CONFIGURATION OF CREDIT PULSE EMISSION TOTALIZER (RM5 X 20) (RM5 X 21)

The token dispenser can recognize 60 coins that can have up to 60 different values, it does the sum and directly controls
a Display to show the inserted amount. It was designed to directly pilot videogame cards. It allows you to define a game
cost (credit cost) and up to two bonus levels, if for example you set a credit of 0.25 , by introducing 1 you have 5
credits (1 bonus), by introducing 2 you can set 11 credits (2 bonus).
When it acquired a value equal to the credit cost, it produces a pulse and when it reaches the bonus thresholds it issues
the number of credits matched with the pulses. The length of the standard pulse is 100 msec, you can however vary it
between 10 and 630 msec.
The bonuses are assigned if the coins are introduced in sequence with a maximum time of 10 sec. between one coin and
the other.
Furthermore, an output to directly control an external counter to count the accepted coins is foreseen.
By using the portable RM5-PROGRAMMER you can engage and/or change various options, including:
-

Enabling and inserted coins internal counter reading

Setting the length of pulses from 10 to 630 msec (standard signals 100 msec)
Disabling each coin introduction channel
Setting credit cost and bonus levels

Inhibition

To inhibit the electronic S.E.C.I. token dispenser that uses the RM 927/N interface card, just connect the inhibition wire of
the game card to the below mentioned connector.
The game card is fitted with an internal pull-up, hence if you dont want to connect the inhibition pin you need to make the
above-mentioned change.
IMPORTANT NOTE: IF THE INHIBIT PIN IS NOT USED, IT MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE GND.
If you want to separate the coins or tokens you can fit the machine with a coin separator. In this case the token dispenser
must be programmed via PRORM5, to control the separator (RM5 X 21). When the separator function is engaged, the
outputs related to channels 5 and 6 (Pin 3 and 4) are used to control the separation reels.
