Moving PE+Slant board to PE+ Upright?

(1/3) > >>

61Wally:
My PE+ Upright has 1 game,(deuces wild). I’m trying to take a PE+ Slant top board with 5 games in it and  install it in the Upright. The issue that I’m having is with the Bill Validator. Before I swapped boards the Upright accepted All currency except the New $100’S. After installing the slant board in the Upright, I Used My SET038 chip to enable the Validator. Now the Only currency the machine accepts is $1 bills. Is there Something besides my brain that is causing this issue? Possibly the chips that are used on the slant board now going into an Upright? It’s been quite sometime since I’ve worked on these PE+ machines, Any suggestions would be appreciated/helpful.

61Wally:
So Sorry, The machine has a DBV-200 in it and the board came out of the slant top having a DBV-145 if this information helps Anyone in helping me, TU.

Good News .... a PE+ board is a PE+ board.... slant, upright, bar top etc. Actually not sure if there is an etc. LOL

Remember the PE+ and S+ work on credits. Not currency.  If you had a 25c coin in your comparator it registers one credit per quarter dropped. If you had a Nickle or dime, etc ... as long as the coin matched you got a credit. What bills the head accepts is not with the PE+ but with the head itself.

With a bill validator you use the SET chip to tell the machine how many credits to give for a dollar. You could easily tell the bill validator that its a 1c machine and you get 100 credits for a dollar. Even though it uses a quarter as the coin in. The rest of the smarts is in the head itself.

The issue you are having is that the Chip inside the bill validator does not recognise the new money. Your DBV 200 has clearly been "flashed" to understand all the new money.
The DBV145 can't be flashed to accept the new bills. The 145 was obsolete 15years ago, 2 sets of money actually.

The good news is that the transport, cash can etc etc is completely compatible with the 200head. So to swap heads .... its really just swapping it by loosing the thumb screw on each and moving them around.
You might need a duck bill (plastic front piece) for the 200 head if its coming from the slant. That's cosmetic not function.

The power supply for the bill validator also needs to be swapped. The power supply for the 145 and the 200 are 100% pin compatible but the one with the 145 doesn't have enough amps for reliable operation with the 200 head. To look at them - they are very close in appearance but the 200 power supply has Fins and/or vents on it for higher heat dissipation than the one used with the 145.

My advice would be to just get another 200 head with the duck bill - Jim can fix you up.

Chances are that the chips for the Deuces Wild game and the Multi Poker set call for different bill validator protocols. One likely requires ID022, while the other requires ID023.

Because the signal for a $1 bill is very similar in the two protocols, it's often possible to slip a $1 through even if the wrong protocol is in use.

The solution for your issue is to turn the power off to your machine, change the position of DIP switch 10 on the bill validator head to the opposite of what it is currently set to (if it's currently set to on, turn it off, or vice versa), then power your machine back on. The DIP switch bank is on the bottom/underside of the bill validator head.

It should now accept the same bills that it did with the previous game software.

Kevin, a 145 head is never going to read the new money.
He has a flashed 200 in one and a 145 in the other.
You will get it reading more than the $1 but colored is out of the question.
