Best Bill Validator for S Plus

<< < (2/2)

You can only get so far.......the DBV 200 can get you as far as everything but the latest $100
Going to the WBA gets you into newer hardware but same limitation.

The latest bills and any that come after it will and cannot be supported by S+
Each slot machine has a protocol type of how they interface with the bill validator and no one is paying JCM (makes or DBV, WBA etc) to continue development.

Now there is a device known as a protocol convertor. I haven't used one, but there are videos around and if you search this forum with that term you can find some youtube videos etc. Basically it will allow you to use a S2000 head (I think protocol 24) and have it convert to the one that the S+ uses. Presumably if this works then you can use all the latest money.

Dvbit2017:
So without the protocol convertor, doesn't matter what BVs the S+ use, it can't detect the new $100 due to support. So only s2000 can accepts the new bills?

Qestions#2 can all DBV models be converted to the WBA 12/13 even if t doesn't accepts the new $100? What IDXXX eeprom would I need to make it work?

jay:
The DBV (Dollar Bill) 45,145,200 have interchangeable heads.
45/145 can't be upgraded to any of the new money.
The head is easily swapped out but going from 145 --> 200 you need the large power supply from the 200.

For the WBA (World Bill) both the head and the transport need to be swapped as the WBA is designed to be able to be used with world currencies that differ in size. I believe the 13/14 models also detect the magnetic properties of the bill for advanced fraud detection.

Bally, Aristocat, etc all still accept the Murrieta of US currencies but they also all use different protocols from the S+
So a protocol convertor is the way to go if you want to use all the latest bills.

I dont know the eprom number but I am sure some of the others here would be able to tell you. Member JIM is our resident validator specialist.
