GPT ARGUS
DIP-switches
During normal operation all DIP-switches should be
in the OFF position (up). The DIP-switches are acti-
vated by the power up. Any changes to the DIP-
switches during operation will have no effect until
the next power up.
In Atronic machines only 3 DIP-switches are in use.
Changes to the bill acceptance table are made via
host machines Menu Setup.
DIP 7
To see the last five bills
(Can also be seen in the Audit Menu)
DIP 8 & 9
For Video Level Adjustment
(see page 6 for detail)
Validator Programming and Diagnostics
The ARGUS validators can be programmed by using
the GPT ARGUS G3 Download-Kit (obtainable from
Atronic). It contains a power supply, a RS-232 cable,
a ARGUS Download Key and the Synergy
G3comm2000c Software. You can also test IO ports,
memory, stepper motor and bezel lights with this
software. Please contact Atronic Technical Service
for further information.
Maintenance
Most of the problems with the validators are caused
by soiled optics, incorrect DIP-switch settings and
foreign matter in the currency channel.
Component Checks
- Drive Belts:
Check for damage, debris and tension. The belts
should not have excessive vertical deflection when,
gently, pulled upwards.
- Magnetic head and roller:
Check for scratches, debris and also the roller spring
for the proper tension.
- Optical components:
Check for debris and scratches.
Note
: After some software
updates (e.g. updating to
temp.comp software) it is
necessary to do a Video Level
Adjustment (VLA) directly after
upload.
VLA is described on page 8.
