G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU GENERAL INFORMATION
1 General information
This chapter should provide a general overview of the advantages and

options regarding the coin validator G-13.mft with parallel interface (the
G-13.mft totalizer model is described in separate operating instructions).
The first section, however, is designed to help you navigate easily within
these operating instructions.
General information about these instructions
These operating instructions describe the design and operation of the

standard, Casino, BDTA and AMU models of the electronic coin validator
G-13.mft with parallel interface. Chapters 5 und 6 explain the necessary
steps for starting up and operating the coin validator. Chapter 7 explains how
to clean the coin validator and remedy the cause of a malfunction.
Chap. 9 "Technical data" as well as the appended index and glossary
shorten the search for specific explanations.
The appended chapter "Simple Gaming Interface (SGI)" deals with the
highlights of the G-13.mft SGI.
Text conventions
To make it easier for you to navigate within these instructions and to operate
the device, the following markings were made in the texts:

General information about the coin validator
The electronic coin validator G-13.mft (multi-frequency technology) in

standardized 3 1/2" format is based on the tried and tested features of the
G-13.6000. Due to its modular and compact design, the G-13.mft is ideally
suited for amusement, vending and service machines.
The multi-frequency technology is new in the G-13.mft. It provides more
flexibility for the measuring sensors, multiple scanning of the coins inserted
for optimum material recognition and evaluation of 24 measuring parameters
for reliable acceptance of genuine coins and rejection of false coins. Thanks
to the coin validator’s flash technology, software downloads to adapt the
measuring technology, coin data and control software can be executed
quickly and simply. The G-13.mft has 32 coin channels that can be data-
managed, starting from device version /4 and higher, either in a single
memory block or, when divided in 2 x 16 coin channels, in two memory
blocks with different coin configurations.
To be able to react as quickly as possible to new false coins and to enable
you to make your individual adjustments, the coin validator can be connected
to a PC programming station which is made up of the configuration and
diagnostics software "WinEMP" (including card reader and licence chip
card) and an NRI tester for power supply of the G-13.mft.
Coins that have not been taken into consideration at the manufacturer’s
company can be configured in the teach mode directly at the coin validator
by inserting coins.

G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU GENERAL INFORMATION
Models and operating modes

The G-13.mft models with parallel interface described in these operating
instructions mainly differ in their machine interfaces.
The G-13.mft with parallel interface is also available as totalizer
model. This model is described in separate operating instructions.

Casino applications (Casino/SGI)

The G-13.mft as SGI or as Casino model or in the Casino mode differs from
all other models in a faster coin acceptance (SGI/Casino: up to 6 coins/
sec.), which is essential for the use in gaming machines.
For information on the highlights of the SGI model please refer to
the appended Chapter "Simple Gaming Interface (SGI)".

GENERAL INFORMATION G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU
BDTA applications (with G-18/G-40 interface)

The Bundesverband der deutschen Tabakwaren-Großhändler und
Automatenaufsteller (BDTA = German tobacco association) determined
the DTG standard 2 for the electrical interface to the vending machine. This
standard include the specification of the supply voltage, the coin signal lines,
inhibit functions and the return signal. In addition to further standardization
requirements for validators the measurement quality of validators is also
specified.
For applications in the tobacco sector you can not only obtain the both
NRI coin validators G-18 and G-40 but also the G-13.mft with the appropriate
14 or 16-pole BDTA interface. In order to adapt the G-13.mft to the
dimensions of the G-18.mft or G-40 there is an NRI adapter housing
available.
The standardized BDTA interface does not provide any inverted common
inhibit signal line.
Applications for Spanish gaming market (AMU)

The AMU model has been designed for the Spanish gaming market. This
model mainly differs from the standard model of the G-13.mft in a specific
coin signal processing and a particular pin assignment.
The AMU coin signal processing excludes a fast coin acceptance for the
Casino mode.
Top entry and front entry applications

All models of the G-13.mft are available with top or front entry.The G-13.mft
with front entry usually has a MIDI front plate or a MINI front plate fitted to the
left-hand side of the device (see Chap. 3 "Design"). The device is, however,
also available as a front entry model without front plate.

Switching blocks
On the rear, the coin validator is equipped with

two switching blocks (6, Fig. 1) with 10 DIL S1
switches S1.1–10 and S2.1–10 each.
S2
The DIL switches have different functions, e.g. inhibit coin channels, select
memory block. For details on how to use the switching blocks to set the
individual functions, see Chap. 6 "Operation".
On the rear of the device you will find a brief description of the
individual switch functions.
Return lever and return button
The return lever (1, Fig. 1a) on the top of the device is operated using the
return button on the machine, if the coins that have already been inserted are
to be returned, or if a jam caused by, e.g., coins that have become stuck
must be removed. Operating the return lever opens the measurement and
validation area of the coin validator so that all objects in the coin validator are
transported into the return area.
Devices with front entry through a front plate do not have a return lever. Here
the measurement and validation area is opened by pressing the return
button (1, Fig. 1b) on the front plate.

FUNCTION G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU
4 Function
This chapter describes how the coin validator works:

• Coin acceptance and coin channels
• Single or double block data-management
• Accepted coin sensors
• Coin impulses and coin signal lines
• Control for external sorting device
• Coin inhibition
• Teach mode
• Battery/low-power applications (optional)
• High-voltage up to 42 V (optional)
• Inverted common inhibit signal line (optional)
Coin acceptance and coin channels
The coin validator has 32 "memory slots" for coin acceptance which can be
assigned up to 32 different coin types or tokens. These "memory slots" are
termed coin channels. The acceptance band of a coin type/token is
allocated to a coin channel and the coin type/token is accepted in that
channel.
In order to reject false money reliably, frequently for one coin type, in addition
to the normal coin channel, channels with a narrow or even very narrow
acceptance band are set up (see section "Label" in Chap. 3 "Design"). The
limit values of these coin channels are closer to one another so that false coins
with similar measured values are rejected, if the normal coin channel is
inhibited (see section "Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel" in
Chap. 6 "Operation"). Narrow and very narrow coin channels, however, also
possess a lower acceptance rate.
In addition, it is possible to allocate coins with different measured values but
identical coin values to different coin channels. This is how the coin validator
can, for example, accept old and new coins of the same type.
However, a coin channel is not only assigned the acceptance band of a coin
type but also other coin information which defines further processing of the
coin after its acceptance: e.g. coin signal line and coin impulse number,
inhibit information, sort information for an external sorting device.

G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU FUNCTION
Since in most cases the manufacturer’s customer-specific programming

does not take up all the coin channels, channels which are still vacant can
be assigned coin types and further information desired at any time using the
configuration software. Existing configurations can be changed.
The last eight coin channels 25 to 32 (or 9 to 16 with double block data-
management, see section "Single or double block data-management" in this
chapter) are intended to be used for the teach mode. In these coin channels
new coin types can also be taught without configuration software, directly via
the switching blocks on the coin validator; i.e. a coin channel is assigned a
coin type or also a token (see section "Teach mode" in this chapter).
Single or double block data-management
At the manufacturer’s company, a customer-specific setting is programmed

to determine whether the 32 coin channels are to be data-managed in one
memory block or, when divided into 16 channels each, in two memory
blocks (double block data-management).
If the double block data-management has been configured, the G-13.mft can
data-manage two separately programmed (memory) blocks 0 and 1 (see
label). The 16 coin channels can be assigned to each block with different
coin types (also currencies), sorting information, etc. However, only one
block can be active at a time and be used for the coin measurement and for
further coin processing. You can use the upper switching block on the device
to select the desired block (see section "Selecting memory block" in Chap. 6
"Operation").

Accepted coin sensors
To ensure that accepted coins actually arrive in the cash-box or in an

external sorting device and that coin acceptance has not been tampered
with, accepted coin sensors, positioned in front of the cash-box coin outlet
check whether the inserted coin drops unhindered into the cash-box chute.
A coin signal is not transmitted to the machine until the coin has passed this
checking function.
If the accepted coin sensors are continuously covered, e.g. by a coin pile-
up, coin acceptance is inhibited.
Exception: Casino model/mode

Due to fast coin acceptance the Casino model of the G-13.mft cannot utilize
the accepted coin sensors.
The accepted coin sensors are located in front of the cash-box coin outlet
and check whether a coin is directed into the cash-box. Usually, a coin signal
is only sent to the machine when the accepted coin sensors notice that a
coin is being accepted and directed into the cash-box (see above). To speed
up coin acceptance on the Casino model/in the Casino mode, the coin signal
is sent before the coin passes the accepted coin sensors. Consequently,
the acceptance gate of the coin validator is easier to tamper with, e.g. with
an inserted coin attached to a string.
For a balanced protection against manipulation, an accepted coin signal
independent of the coin signal can be transmitted via the return signal line
to the machine.

Transfer of coin values by means of coin impulses and via

coin signal lines
By default each coin accepted by the coin validator passes on one impulse
(AMU model: one pre-signal and one coin signal, see below) to the machine
control system on the coin signal line assigned to that coin. An impulse tells
the machine control system that a coin has been accepted.
Depending on the coin signal line selected the machine knows what the coin
type is (what coin value).
The assignment between coin type and coin signal line is programmed by
the manufacturer according to the customers’ specifications.
You can also assign a certain combination of signal lines, i.e.
several signal lines, to a coin type in order to be able to
differentiate.
If more coin types should be programmed than signal lines available, coin
types can also be assigned several coin impulses (multiple impulses) per
coin so that the machine no longer differentiates by the signal line but by the
impulse number (not with AMU model). In such a case, coin types with a
higher denomination are assigned a multiple of a smaller coin, i.e. if, for
example, a 2 euro coin was inserted, the machine control unit would be sent
two coin impulses on the coin signal line assigned to the 1 euro coin.
The number of coin impulses is programmed by the manufacturer according
to the customers’ specifications.
Coin signal processing of the AMU model

After an accepted coin passed the accepted coin sensors, the G-13.mft
standard model transmits a simple coin signal to the machine (see section
"Accepted coin sensors" in this chapter). Whereas the AMU model divides
this signal into a pre-signal and the real coin signal, so that the machine is
able to inform the validator during the pre-signal whether this coin is to be
accepted or not:
1. 10-ms pre-signal, transmitted after coin measurement but before coin
acceptance
2. Real coin signal (pulse length can be adjusted), transmitted after the
validator received the machine's release signal and the coin passed
the accepted coin sensors

During the 10-ms pre-signal the machine control system must transmit a
1-ms release signal to the validator via the inhibit signal line (deactivate line),
so that the coin can be accepted.

Coin impulse length
The length of the coin impulses that are sent from the coin validator to the
machine can be set individually to suit the machine.
Possible setting: 5 to 500 ms, default setting: 100 ms (50 ms for AMU
model).
You can also assign a different impulse length to each coin type, but
in this case only one impulse will always be transmitted and not a
specific higher impulse number for the purpose of differentiating the
coins (see section "Transfer of coin values by means of coin impulses
and via coin signal lines" in this chapter).

Control for external sorting device
In order to be able to guide the accepted coins into the cash-box or, e.g., into
change tubes or hoppers, you can equip the coin validator with the NRI 3-fold
sorting device or with another sorting device.
Sorting principle
The sorting gates are activated via the 3-pole JST plug on the rear of the
device (see Fig. 1a and 1b) and via three sorting control lines. Since these
are bidirectional sorting control lines, the coin validator can also receive
signals. If, for example, a connected hopper or change tube is full of coins
and if they send an appropriate "Full" signal to the coin validator, all the other
coins are directed into the cash-box until the hopper/change tube is emptied
or an amount has been paid out.
The G-13.mft can also be set by the manufacturer so that the return signal
line sends a sort signal to the machine via the 10-pole connecting cable (not
with AMU model).
Assignment coin type – sorting control line/return signal line and sorting time
(how long should the activating period be? 300–1000 ms).
While the coin validator is sorting an accepted coin (= sorting time),
it cannot accept any further coins.
The return signal line cannot transmit any "Full" signals.

Sorting with NRI sorting device

When the optional NRI sorting device
is used (see also product pages on
the internet (www.nri24.com)), the
individual coin types can be
distributed regardless of their
dimensions among the three sorting
chutes. Each chute can be defined
as a cash-box chute.
For details on how to connect
the NRI sorting device to
the coin validator, see
Chap. 5 "Start-up".
The following table shows which

sorting control line must be
activated in order to sort coins into
a specific sorting chute:
Sorting chute Sorting control line

Middle –
Right 2

Coin inhibition
If coins are to be no longer accepted for payment at the machine, either the
entire coin acceptance can be inhibited (common inhibit) or individual types.
External common inhibit (not AMU model)

The machine can inhibit coin acceptance via the common inhibit signal line.
The coin validator no longer accepts coins (see section "Interfaces (pin
assignment and connection diagrams" in Chap. 9 "Technical data").
External inhibit of single coin types

(not with G-18 BDTA interface)
As an alternative to individual inhibiting of certain coin types via the DIL
switches of the coin validator the machine can inhibit coin types individually:
• Standard, Casino model, model with G-40 BDTA interface:
up to six coin types via six external single inhibit signal lines
The assignment of coin type and single inhibit signal line has been
programmed by the manufacturer according to the customers'
specifications.
• AMU model:
each of the coins inserted via inhibit signal line (during coin
acceptance) (see section "Coin signal processing of the AMU model"
in this chapter)
Also see section "Interfaces (pin assignment and connection diagrams)" in
Chap. 9 "Technical data".
Internal inhibit of single coin types/coin type groups

As an alternative to individual inhibiting of certain coin types via the machine
you can on-site inhibit individual coin types or even groups of coins using the
DIL switches on the coin validator (see section "Inhibiting coins/activating
narrow coin channels" in Chap. 6 "Operation").
Alternatively: deactivate individual coin types on a long-term basis

Teach mode
Coin channels can be taught directly in the teach mode without configuration
software via the lower switching block on the coin validator, i.e. a coin
channel is reassigned a coin type or even a token. The new acceptance
band is generated by inserting the coins. For this you do not need to remove
the validator from the machine. For the teaching procedure, the coin
channels 9 to 16 of the activated memory block are available with double
block data-management and coin channels 25 to 32 with single block data-
management (see also section "Single or double block data-management"
in this chapter and section "Teaching coin channels in the teach mode" in
Chap. 6 "Operation").
Options
The G-13.mft models can optionally be equipped for the following applications
at the manufacturer.
Battery or low-power applications

(not with G-40 BDTA interface)
If the G-13.mft is to be used independent of the mains in battery-operated
machines, it can optionally be fitted with a wake-up sensor (not available for
retrofitting).
If the G-13.mft is operated with the NRI MIDI front plate, you can
also use an external wake-up sensor (see also product pages on the
internet (www.nri24.com)).
The wake-up sensor monitors the insertion area of the coin validator. The
first coin inserted wakes up the validator. The coin is measured and
accepted or rejected. If no further coin is inserted during the next 3.5 seconds,
the coin validator returns to sleep mode. The current consumption in sleep
mode is less than 15 µA until the unit is woken up again by insertion of a coin.
(See section "Interfaces (pin assignment and connection diagrams)" in
Chap. 9 "Technical data")
If the device is in teach mode, it remains awake until the coin/token is taught,
i.e. the teach mode is switched off again.
At the factory the validator can optionally be set, so that it transmits a wake-
up signal to the machine via the return signal line, as soon as it is woken up
by insertion of a coin (not with AMU model).
If you want the machine to wake up the validator, for this the
manufacturer will also provide the return signal line. The G-13.mft
with G-18 BDTA interface uses the separate wake-up signal line.

High-voltage applications up to 42 V
If the coin validator is to be supplied with more than 10–16 V, at the factory
it can be equipped with a switching power supply which makes a supply
voltage of up to 42 V possible (not available for retrofitting).
Inverted common inhibit signal line (only standard and Casino model)
By default, the machine inhibits coin acceptance by transmitting an active-
high signal via the common inhibit signal line (pin 6, standby position of the
line is "Low").
The G-13.mft standard and Casino can be ordered with an inverted common
inhibit signal line (common inhibit, when active-low, standby position of the
line is "High") (see section "Interfaces (pin assignment and connection
diagrams)" in Chap. 9 "Technical data").

OPERATION G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU
6 Operation
This chapter describes the operation, i.e. the setting of specific functions of
the coin validator:
• Selecting memory block
• Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel
• Teaching coin channels in the teach mode
• Selecting Casino mode
The settings that are performed directly on the validator are described. To
find out how to perform settings using the PC programming station WinEMP,
please refer to the separate instructions (cp. also Chap. 8 "The PC
programming station WinEMP" and product accessory pages on the
internet (www.nri24.com)).
Chapter 4 "Function" describes the function of the adjustable device options.
Selecting memory block

(only with double block data-management)
If the coin validator is to access the other memory block and, e.g., accept
euro coins instead of national currency coins, the correct block can be
selected using the upper switching block:
S1 S1
Memory block 0 selected Memory block 1 selected
To select memory block 0, move DIL switch S1.10 of the upper switching
block to the bottom OFF position, for memory block 1, move it to the upper
ON position.

G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU OPERATION
Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel ...
Depending on whether the 32 coin channels are being data-managed in one

or, when divided in 16 coin channels each, in two memory blocks (B-0 and
B-1, see label), the coin types are also inhibited differently.
... with double block data-management (B-0 and B-1)

Using the two switching blocks on the coin validator each of the 16 coin
channels of the activated memory block or each coin type assigned to a
specific coin channel can be inhibited individually, i.e. this coin type(s) is/are
not accepted for payment on the machine.
To activate a narrow coin channel the normal coin channel must be inhibited.
If both channels are activated, the wider acceptance band of the normal coin
channel is used.
The first 8 DIL switches each inhibit the following coin channels:
Switching block S1
DIL switch off on
S1.1 Coin channel 1 free inhibited
S1.3 Coin channel 3 free inhibited S1
Switching block S2
DIL switch off on
Please refer to the label of the device to see which coin type has been
assigned to which coin channel at the factory.
However, this assignment could have been changed using the
configuration software.

If all coin types are to be accepted for payment by the machine, the DIL
switches S1.1–S1.8 and S2.1–S2.8 of the two switching blocks are in the
lower position (on OFF). If you want to inhibit a coin channel, you only need
to move the respective DIL switch toward the top to ON.
Example
The coin validator is no longer supposed to accept the coin(s) assigned to coin
channels 3 and 10, which means that coin channels 3 and 10 must be inhibited
S1
S2
With the DIL switches in these positions, the coin validator no longer accepts the
coin type(s) assigned to coin channels 3 and 10!
If a normal coin channel and a narrow coin channel have been
programmed on the coin validator for one coin type, the normal coin
channel must be inhibited as described above in order to activate
the narrow coin channel. If both channels are activated, the wider
acceptance band of the normal coin channel is used.
If the coin type is to be inhibited, both coin channels must be
inhibited.
To inhibit coin channels on the validator:

1 Unhook the coin validator from the machine.
2 Inhibit the desired coin channels using the DIL switches S1.1–8 and
S2.1–8 (cp. example above).
The desired coin channels are inhibited.
3 Hang the coin validator back in the machine.

... with single block data-management

Coins can be inhibited using the first eight DIL switches S1.1–S1.8 of the
upper switching block on the validator. Which coin types have been
assigned to the DIL switches and can be inhibited is shown on the label.
Several coin types can also be assigned to one switch. This switch will then
inhibit a coin group (e.g. all coins of a currency, all acceptance bands of a
coin type (normal and narrow ones)).
Assignment DIL switches – coin type/coin group
If all coin types assigned to the DIL switches are to be accepted for payment
at the machine, the DIL switches S1.1–S1.8 must be in the lower position
(on OFF). If you want to inhibit coins, you only need to move the respective
DIL switch toward the top to ON.
Any coin types or tokens that may have been taught in coin
channels 25 to 32 are inhibited using the DIL switches of the lower
switching block S2.1–8 (see section "Teaching coin channels in the
teach mode" in this chapter).
The following examples are designed to illustrate the procedure using the
label. The label shows the manufacturer’s assignment of coin type/coin
group.

Example – Inhibit a currency as coin group

The coin validator must only accept euros and no longer the British currency
S1
With this setting the coin validator only accepts euros!
Example – Activate narrow acceptance bands/coin channels as coin group

The coin validator must accept the 1-euro coin and the British 1-pound coin in the
narrow acceptance band and not in the normal one, i.e. it must inhibit the normal
acceptance band
S1
With this setting the coin validator accepts the coins in the narrow coin channel
and not in the normal one!
Example – Inhibit single coin type

The coin validator must no longer accept the 2-euro coin or the British 2-pound coin
S1
With this setting the coin validator no longer accepts the 2-euro coin or the British
2-pound coin!
At a coin validator with the label illustrated above it would also be
possible to inhibit the euro currency via DIL switch S1.4 and choose
between the left-hand and right-hand assignment of coin signal lines
via DIL switches S1.1 and S1.2.
With the aid of several DIL switches more than one coin type or coin
group can be inhibited simultaneously.

To inhibit coin channels on the validator:

1 Unhook the coin validator from the machine.
2 Inhibit the desired coins using the DIL switches S1.1–8 (cp. example
above).
The desired coins are inhibited.
3 Hang the coin validator back in the machine.

Teaching coin channels in the teach mode
In order to generate new acceptance bands you can teach up to eight coin
channels using the lower switching block on the coin validator. You will need
at least ten coins of the new type. There is a different switch assignment for
the double and single block data-management:
Switching block S2 (with double block data-management)
DIL switch off on
S2.1 Coin channel 9 – teach
S2.3 Coin channel 11 – teach S1
S2.9 Teach mode switch off switch on
S2.10 Acceptance band normal wide
Switching block S2 (with single block data-management)

DIL switch off on
S2.9 Teach mode switch off switch on
S2.10 Acceptance band normal wide
By default, the eight teach channels have been programmed, so that one
coin impulse is transmitted to the machine via coin signal line 6, when a new
coin is accepted.

To reassign a coin type to a coin channel, please proceed as follows:

If you are using the lower switching block to inhibit individual coins,
remember the current switch settings so that you can restore them
easily for the normal operating mode at the end.
1 Set all DIL switches 1–10 toward the

bottom to OFF. S2
2 Set DIL switch S2.9 toward the top to

ON. S2
Now the device is in teach mode to
teach the coin channels.
3 Release the coin channel to be taught
(9–16 or 25–32, here: 11 or 27) by S2
setting the appropriate DIL switch
(S2.1–8, here: S2.3) toward the top to
ON.
4 Insert at least 10 coins of the new coin type/token into the coin
validator or machine.
After the 10th coin has been inserted, the acceptance gate is
operated once (brief clacking sound). Additional coins can be
inserted.
You must insert at least 11 coins in devices with a wake-up sensor,
as the first coin is only used to wake-up the validator and is not
valued.

Now you can save the measured values generated by the inserted coins in
either a normal (a) or a wide (b) acceptance band. A wide acceptance band
is an appropriate choice when you only have a limited selection of coins at
your disposal for the purpose of teaching tokens.
To save with the normal acceptance band:
5a) Set DIL switch S2.9 toward the
bottom to OFF. S2
Successful saving is signalled by
the acceptance gate attracting once, an error when saving is indicated
by the acceptance gate attracting twice (brief clacking sounds), if, for
example, the acceptance band of the coins inserted and the acceptance
band of an already programmed coin channel overlap.
To abort the operation, first set the DIL switch of the respective coin
channel (here: S2.3) and then DIL switch S2.9 toward the bottom to
OFF.
To save with a wide acceptance band:

b) Set DIL switch S2.10 toward the
top to ON. S2
The acceptance band has been
widened.
Now you can set DIL switch S2.9
toward the bottom to OFF. S2
Successful saving is signalled by
the acceptance gate attracting once, an error when saving is indicated
by the acceptance gate attracting twice (brief clacking sounds), if, for
example, the acceptance band of the coins inserted and the acceptance
band of an already programmed coin channel overlap.
To abort the operation, first set the DIL switch of the respective coin
channel (here: S2.3) as well as DIL switch S2.10 and then DIL
switch S2.9 toward the bottom to OFF.
6 If necessary, set DIL switches S2.1–8 for the normal operating mode
(see section "Inhibiting coins/activating narrow coin channel" in this
chapter).
The new coin type/token will now be accepted for payment by the coin
validator.

Selecting Casino mode (only standard model)
If you would like to select the Casino mode, you can easily change the
operating mode by means of the upper switching block:
Set DIL switch S1.9 toward the top to ON.
The device now operates in Casino mode S1
with quick coin acceptance of five to six
coins per second.
Attracting time of the acceptance gate, accepted coin sensors' signal via
return signal line, etc.
Casino model: switchable standard operation

SIMPLE GAMING INTERFACE (SGI) G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU
Simple gaming interface (SGI)
This appended chapter should explain the highlights of the G-13.mft SGI
model. Apart from the additional pilot lights and the particular pin assignment
the G-13.mft SGI, that is especially designed for the gaming industry, is
working just like the G-13.mft Casino model described in detail in these
instructions.
What ist the difference between the G-13.mft SGI and the
G-13.mft Casino
• Different machine interfaces for high compatibility
• Pilot lights for monitoring operation
Pilot lights (not with G-13.mft SGI 100)
The both pilot lights on the left-hand side of the G-13.mft SGI indicate the
operating state or a malfunction:

G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU GLOSSARY
Glossary
Acceptance band A range of acceptable measured values of one → coin type

(with specific → coin properties) defined by an upper and
lower limit value.
Acceptance gate The acceptance gate diverts the inserted coins into the
acceptance or return area of the coin validator.
Accepted coin sensors The accepted coin sensors are positioned in front of the cash
coin outlet of the coin validator and check whether accepted
coins fall unhindered into the cash-box chute (Casino model
cannot utilize accepted coin sensors).
AMU model G-13.mft model especially for the Spanish gaming industry.
The AMU model differs from the standard model in another
coin signal processing and pin assignment.
Attraction time The attraction time is used to specify the period of time for
which the solenoid is to attract the → acceptance gate in
order to guide the accepted coins to the cash-box or an
external sorting device.
BDTA Bundesverband der deutschen Tabakwaren-Großhändler
und Automatenaufsteller (German tobacco association).
Responsible for standardizing the electrical interface between
coin validator and machine for the tobacco vending sector.
Block → Memory block
Channel → Coin channel
Coin acceptance band → Acceptance band
Coin channel Coin channels are used to describe → coin types using their
different → coin properties (alloy, size, etc.). The required
coin properties of a coin type are defined in → acceptance
bands which are assigned to the coin channels for further
processing along with other coin information.

GLOSSARY G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU
Coin impulse length By specifying a certain coin impulse length, with which the
signals are transferred to the machine, the coin validator can
be adjusted to the specific processing time of the respective
machine.
If coin impulses of different lengths are assigned to the
individual → coin channels in order to differentiate among the
coin types, the → coin impulse number is always equal to one
and cannot be varied.
Coin impulse number Every coin accepted by the coin validator passes on an
impulse to the machine control system via the appropriate →
coin signal line. An impulse tells the machine control system
that a coin has been accepted. In principle, 255 impulses per
coin can be assigned to the → coin channel that is assigned
to a coin (not with AMU model). However, it only makes sense
to assign more than 1 if the machine control does not have
sufficient coin signal lines and if higher-value coins have to be
simulated by a multiple of coin impulses, i.e. when e.g. a
2-euro coin is inserted, 4 coin impulses would be sent to the
machine control via the coin signal line allocated to the
50-cent coin.
Coin properties Coin properties which are measured when a coin is inserted
into the coin validator. These are e.g. material, thickness,
volume, minting, diameter, mass, hardness, etc.
Coin signal line Coin signal lines are used to transmit the → coin value of a
→ coin type to the machine.
Coin type One coin type includes all coins for which the → coin
properties agree.
Coin value The value of a → coin type that is transmitted as (a) coin
impulse(s) via → coin signal lines to the machine.
Common inhibit signal With the standard and Casino model as well as the model
line with the → G-18/→ G-40 BDTA interface the machine control
system can block acceptance of all coins using this signal
line. The validator will no longer accept any coins.
Data block update When updating a data block (set) (2 data blocks) using
WinEMP, the data blocks for the connected coin validators
are loaded quickly and easily from the internal hard disk of
your PC into the coin validator. By doing this, a new data block
is loaded into → memory block 0 (and memory block 1). The
new data blocks contain different coin and device
configurations, e.g. current limit values of the → acceptance
bands for a currency or new inhibiting or sorting information.

G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU GLOSSARY
ECV Electronic Coin Validator

G-18 interface 14-pole → BDTA interface, taken over from the NRI coin
validator G-18.mft for battery applications in the tobacco
vending sector.
G-40 interface 16-pole → BDTA interface, taken over from the NRI coin
validator G-40.5000 for mains applications in the tobacco
vending sector.
Impulse length → Coin impulse length
Impulse number → Coin impulse number
Inhibit signal line With the AMU model the machine control system uses the
inhibit signal line to inhibit each of the coins inserted during
acceptance operation (after the coin has been measured
and before the coin will pass the accepted coin sensors). The
coin inserted will not be accepted.
→ Single inhibit signal line
→ Common inhibit signal line
Memory block Memory of the coin validator. At the manufacturer’s company,
a customer-specific setting is programmed to determine
whether the 32 → coin channels of the G-13.mft are to be
data-managed in one memory block (single block data-
management) or, when divided into 16 channels each, in two
memory blocks (double block data-management). Two
(memory) blocks 0 and 1 can be used to data-manage two
independent configurations of coin/device data (e.g. two
currencies). However, for coin validator operation, only one
memory block with 16 channels can be active at a time; the
other block is inhibited.
The memory block(s) can be updated using WinEMP or (→
data block download).
Return signal line When operating the return lever/button on the coin validator,
a return signal is transmitted to the return signal line (not with
AMU model). The coin validator then releases all the coins
and foreign bodies inside the device.
The return signal line can also be used to transmit a sorting
signal or a coin acceptance signal (only for Casino model,
instead of → accepted coin sensors).

GLOSSARY G-13.mft standard/Casino/SGI/BDTA/AMU
Single inhibit signal line Signal line between the machine control system and the
G-13.mft standard and Casino model as well as the model
with the G-40 BDTA interface which is used to block the
acceptance of individual → coin types (one coin type and
several coin types). For single inhibiting with the → AMU
model, see → inhibit signal line.
Sorting control line To sort the cash-box coins with an external sorting device,
the coin validator has three sorting control lines. The → return
signal line can also be used as an alternative for sorting.
Sorting gate The sorting gates are activated in the coin validator depending
on the run time of accepted coins and direct the coins to be
sorted into the coin return or coin outlet towards the cash-box
or external sorting device.
Sorting time The sorting time specifies the switching times of an external
sorting device.
Switching blocks The two switching blocks are located on the rear of the coin
validator and incorporate 10 DIL switches each. Each switch
has a specific function, e.g. inhibiting individual or grouped →
coin channels.
Teach mode In the teach mode, the last eight → coin channels can be
assigned new → coin types or → tokens on site at the
machine without any configuration tools by inserting the new
coins, which means that these newly configured coins are
accepted in the respective coin channel for payment.
Token Tokens are accepted for payment at machines instead of
coins in a currency.
Wake-up sensor Optional sensor positioned behind the coin insert funnel
which monitors the insertion area and wakes up the coin
validator after the first coin insertion. The coin inserted is
measured and accepted or rejected. If no further coin is
inserted during the next 3.5 seconds, the coin validator
returns to sleep mode. Coin validators with wake-up sensor
are used in battery and low- power applications, as they are
most of the time in sleep mode with a very low power
consumption (max. 15 µA).
