ELECTRONIC COIN SELECTOR

AL55 ccTalk
(only available as modifiable version)

The modifiable ccTalk AL55 is available in the following versions:

V = rejected coin sorted from bottom rear slot, accepted coin sorted from bottom front slot
I = rejected coin sorted from bottom front slot, accepted coin sorted from bottom rear slot
K = rejected coin sorted from slot low front end, dropping slot on top
S = rejected coin sorted from slot low front end, dropping slot at upper front end

EMC performance
This product is compliant with EN55014-1 and EN55014-2 test specification

> 8-bit top-performing microcontroller with 36 KB Flash-memory, highly

immune to magnetic interference and to environmental conditions.
> Two magnetic sensors and one optic detector combine to guarantee the
most accurate capacity of discrimination. Data-digitizer interface designed to
cope at best with bi-metal and magnetized coins. The system sharpens
selectivity and security, and makes the programming process easy and faster.
> One wire-shearer and one wire-tearer in version V provide mechanical
shielding against fishing-fraud. Coin-Guard anti-cheat system, based on the
synergy of suitably positioned optic sensors.

Connessioni
The selectors connects to other periphearals and to the main board by the following connectors:

X1. Power supply and standard interface.

Connector X1 is an IDC 10-p socket, whose pin-out is
shown in grid aside.
It allows connection to the 3-way or 5-way sorter (see
sorters explanation below).

X2. Not present: the AL55 coin selector cannot drive displays.

X3. CCTALK. The X3 4-p socket is for serial ccTalk communication

with the main board. The protocol is preset for slave mode
operation, and is described in AL55 technical manual, Chapter 6.
This socket can be used on modifciable ccTalk selectors to change the
programme of the selector by PC and Alberici free software.

TAKE CARE! The coin selector must be installed 90-95 with respect to level plane. Because of the built-in advanced
security system, it is essential that the whole coin path gets not hindered.
Alberici is not responsible for any malfunctioning due to lack of compliance with such recommendations.

INHIBITION OF PROGRAMMED COINS

TO INHIBIT 50 c, 1 and/or 2 COINS, MOVE THE
CORRESPONDING DIP-SWITCH TO OFF END (see grid aside).
THEN SWITCH OFF AND ON AGAIN.
