Hello again, thank you for helping getting my last machine up and running. Here I go again. I have recently acquired an IGT splus triple triple diamond that had a dead battery. changed the battery and everything worked as it should for coins without having to do a clear. But The DBV would cycle when turned on but the bezel would not light up and it wouldn't react to a bill trying to be fed in. Occasionally it would not cycle properly and would just click and I could see what would look like the gears trying to spin every second or so over and over. It seems if the machine was left on to do that sometimes for a solid five minutes it would then cycle and start up normally. once left on it seems to just start up normally every time it is shut down. I did a set with chip 15 to enable the DBV and set the denomination. Now the DBV bezel will light up and it will take a 1 dollar bill in, the bill stays in for a few seconds and the DBV will slowly edge the bill back out before completely rejecting it. So this maybe 2 problems? one, why is it just clicking at start up some times? Two, why , once it cycles properly is it taking in the bill for a few seconds before it spits it out?

Thanks for any help you can give me
i have also cleaned the heads sensors and set the hopper and credit limit to 1000. the game chip is a 932
I'm going to try to post some pictures and a video

I've read pretty much all the DBV 200 posts. Lotta good info and think I've tried just about everything the best I can still no luck. Everything lined up, cleaned , connections good and settings are correct. I'm still trying to post some videos but the file seems to large

find out if the unit will take a bill : flip it over and turn switch #6 opposite of where it is, ( small bank of 6 dip switches) now turn on the power, flip it back to where it was, unit will cycle briefly, now you can insert bills into the unit , if it is working it will take them in and pass them out the back ( do not have it hooked up to the transport.

this will establish if the unit is working, if it is, then perhaps you have an old SP version that might be IDO22?

Thanks Jim. I'll try that today

Okay finally got a chance to try what you suggested Jim.. it took ones through with no issues. How do I check the version?
Thanks Al

Using that test you can determine what bills the unit will accept, from the picture , it looks like an older version, the current version is 2.6 or 2.7??

it will accept everything EXCEPT the new 5 and 100.

SP932 could be 022 protocol?? flip switch # 10 to the opposite and see what happens when you try it in the machine. switch 10 selects between the two protocol, 023 and 022. You could change to a 731 which you are familiar with! RB can hook you up with the chips you need.

the problem with the clicking on cold start up is your power supply is starting to go south, the caps need replacing, as it warms up then it will function as advertised.

Thanks Jim, I think your absolutely right about the power supply, left it on for awhile again and the DBV cycled on normally. I've never replaced caps so I think I'll see if I can get a replacement.
Unfortunately I only had ones and 20s to test. It didn't take the 20s. I tried flipping switch 10 and had the same results, so I switched it back.

Is my only option to change the game chip from a 932 to 731?

Thanks for your help
Al

Hello again
So i received and installed the replacement power supply and that seems to have solved the problem of the unit not wanting to cycle completely on start up. As you may remember this was a new machine to me with a dead battery. i changed the battery and all worked well except the DBV. So I originally just used the set chip to enable the bill validator but wouldn't take bills. I just did a Clear and then the set again. Tested the head(I think its called) and all bills went through. I disassembled and completely cleaned all optics again and put some belt dressing on the dry belts. Not sure which solved the problem but now it pretty consistently will take 1 dollar bills. It seems to be doing something weird though. When the door is open the motor on the transport will on and off spin briefly, over and over again. Once I close the door it will still do it but less frequently. The Bezel light does light and it will accept the bills. Also once in a while after a spin of the reels the bezel light will pause for a second and I can hear the gears spin briefly for a second before the bezel light will come back on and its ready for a dollar bill. Any ideas? I feel I'm getting close. Is it just done for and better to get a replacement?

thanks
Al

I had that problem, I removed the DUART chip and everything started working.The DUART chip is not needed for the game to work.

Hello All,

Sorry to resurrect this post, but I am running into the same issue. I have a DBV-200-SS ID 022/023 USA for an IGT PE+. I have already used the clear chips and the BV is enabled, but all of my bills (old and new) are taken in, and spit back out. Do the dip switches have to be configured in a certain manner?

Thanks,

~ Justin

Jim · « **Reply #14 on:** September 15, 2021, 07:39:00 AM »

you should start your own thread,

yes, the switches do have to be set in a certain manner, especially for a PE+.

Jim

Badbaud · « **Reply #15 on:** September 15, 2021, 09:29:20 AM »

10 position DIP switch, switch #10 is on for PE+ upright, off for multi board, and off for S+ slot.

jkowal43 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 16, 2021, 06:30:40 PM »

Dipswitch is and was set to 10. The bill acceptor is lit up and cycles, but no bill is ever accepted.

Justin

Badbaud · « **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2021, 07:17:53 PM »

You have a slot, ALL switches should be off.

jkowal43 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 16, 2021, 08:56:51 PM »

In my case, itâ€™s a video poker machine. The only setting where the bills actually are taken, but then rejected, is with pin 10 turned on. The light below the BV is also on with that setting. I have no background as to where these machines were previously- could someone have adjusted the settings so that only custom bills are accepted?

Hello, I'm new to owning slots and new to this forum. I am good with tinkering with stuff and can almost fix what ever i get into. So now I got into slot machines. I got my first IGT S+ Red White and Blue machine. When I looked into it the Bill acceptor will take in bills, hold it for a while then spit it out. I believed it worked before i received it because I found 2 $20s and 5 $1 bills. So I am looking to get help on this. If anyone can help I greatly appreciate it.

It has an V2.5 head.
