Got rid of that error code--don't know how.
Now comes up  BV ERR/NO V.  I turn reset key then it says  B_VAL_ERROR
WILL NOT CLEAR WHEN i TURN RESET KEY.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have any experience with Sigma machines, but have you verified that the DBV-200 has the correct software (Protocol ID) for your machine?  According to JCM's website Sigma uses 011/015 and the last version released (supports nextgen 50's) is 2.50-09.  If the protocol ID is correct make sure you're using supported currency too.

Yeah, that's Bally/Williams.  You're right, you can't go wrong with Jim @ Blueridge!
