DBV-200 Spins Gears Backwards in Test Mode….?.?.?

(1/4) > >>

850mph:
I’ve been over the threads here a dozen times… but can’t find an answer.
Thought I would once again go to the experts:

My DBV-200’s white “head gear” cycles 10 times at start up and stops.

I think it’s running backwards… but have no experience to tell… PLEASE see below.

The DBV does NOT seem to move forward in the start up process— to engaging the cash box gears.
I can not insert any type of bill, and there is no bezel light.

See video of failed start up here:

Crossing my fingers here because I have never put up a YouTube video before!

— I did NOT use clear chip to wipe CMOS

— I’m getting bezel feedback in Test mode.
— But I am NOT able to light bezel from Output Test <2>[26]

When running in Test Mode with detached head, the Bill Validation Test without cash box will start up but will NOT accept bills through the forward bill slot…. But it will will accept, and pull a bill BACKWARDS through the head) from the slot which usually feeds the transport.

All motor tests run correctly, and diagnostic LEDs on DBV functions normally (give one red blinking LED inside unit until powered off.)

Power supply seems to be higher amp version for DBV-200 (with fins) and gears rotate strongly.
The DBV does NOT make the same sound as vids I’ve seen which point to failing power supply.

Cash box does engage, and gears spin strongly, if I pull it out and reinsert.

IMPORTANT

The slots arm is stuck in the DOWN position….
I thought I would address that next because of the learning curve…
Might this be activating the micro switch causing the validator to spin because the DBV-200 “thinks” the machine has not gone full cycle?

Any input appreciated… THANK YOU.

The lever with the red rubber tip left side of BV needs to be in the UP position to be locked in place. It is not.

850mph:
THANKS for the quick reply…

The lever on the DBV is up as far as it will go.
I think it’s locked.
It doesn’t “click or ratchet” into a lock position, as far as I can tell.

I’ve had the whole unit out of the machine dozens of times while reseating/testing the mechanical validation process and for cleaning.

It seems to work correctly in that position.

Should I be MORE concerned with this..?

850mph:
Just rewatched my vid and came back to the machine.

I can’t push the red lever up any further without bending it.

Can you PLEASE post a picture of how the locking lever should positioned for reference….

Maybe the lever is stuck in the back of the box..??…?.

Thnx.
