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.
