Bill Acceptor help needed
(1/2) > >>

Hello,

Can someone give me a little introduction of how to use a bill acceptor? I have got a used bill acceptor. It's model is ICT P77. It has come with a couple of cables. I have downloaded the manuals from ICT website but I still don't get the function completely.

Kindly tell me how can I use it?

With some searching I have come to know that there's some software FP001 that I need to program it. But I still don't get the completely functionality. I will be very thankful if somebody can briefly tell me how to use it from A to Z. If you know some links to some tutorial etc please share them too.

Thank you.

hi
to start with the fp001 is the programer
that u use to load the :dba: with it's new firmware
u need to call ict and they will send u the proper flash for your dba,
u can not use the fp001 under window's7 the best i have ever found bar none is xp
the fp001 hook's to your serial port of the host putter,then it is hooked via a rj45 cable to the dba,on the dba is 8 switch's u turn all of them off expect for sw6
or 4 it is in the manual
i have 90% of the ict file's and manual's
pv77 come's in alot of dif confg's 12v/24v/34v/120v
it could be host controled ie the machines putter tell's it to run or it could come as stand alone,do u know what machine this unit came out of ? this will go along way..
also are u usa? canadian? or eroupe? these answer's are nessary because the bin file's change acrodley

Thank you very much ed12 for the detailed reply. It clears a lot of things.

First of all, I am from Asia (Pakistan). I came to know that bill acceptors are used in the vending machines. Vending machines are very rare here in my country. So, I was researching how feasible it is to build a vending machine.

A friend of mine brought the bill acceptor from China and he says it accepts the local currency i.e. Pakistani rupees but only new notes(bills). I want to test the bill acceptor and make it work with the old notes. If it works I might import more.

So, I will write to ICT for the fp001 programmer. Can you tell me what else do I need to make the bill acceptor function and also calibrate it to accept old notes(bills) as well?

hi
i will talk to calif. this afternoon and see if there is a bin
as a rule if it take's the new money it should take the old
when u request the fp001,also request an aligment card
it is a white card with 8 black bar's on it
also go to ict.com/tv that should be the head office in tiwian
where u can get the manual for your unit
