Dbv 200

[twizz63]

I got a new Dbv-200 and swapped it out and validator cycles when i turn on slot. It wont even try to accept a bill. Am I missing something or could it be transport?

[stayouttadabunker]

What kind of slot machine is it in?

[twizz63]

It is IGT slant top SP731.

[twizz63]

I will try and give more info and can take pics if required. The IGT slant top I bought last week and it had DBV-145 that would not work. I bought a DBV-200 ID023 and do have the vented power supply. The validator seems to cycle properly upon start up but the bezel doesn't light up. The red lights inside head do light up. The only way I can get it to attempt to take bill is by pressing switch that says door is closed. The bezel does light up in the self test.The machine works fine with quarters. I do have a round top s plus with same validator and it cycles the same at start up. The chip is Sp731. The person that sold it to me said validator worked at one time. I hope someone knows where to start looking . Thank You

I'm just wondering if the DBV needs to be "enabled" after swapping the JCM's?
Attached to this post below is the PSR for your SP731 chip.
According to the PSR sheet - the SET015 ( most common one) is needed to enable your DBV...>>>

[twizz63]

i will take a look at that and let you know ...

Thank you!
We'll be around...
On the right hand side of the Home page is the link to the JCM ( Japan Cash Machine,Inc.) website.
You will find tons of info there as well as performing a search using the words DBV 200.

Swapping a 145 to a 200 is 'plug and play'. I've done it several times.

Check the dip switches on the bottom of the head. They should all be off.

<edit> I didn't see the part where the 145 was not working either. So maybe it isn't enabled. I think we need a little more background info.

Have you tried putting this head and transport in the round top? It certainly will make things easier to know what is working and what isn't. The second machine can come in handy.

[twizz63]

No I have not tried that yet....but the round top is at my brothers house.....but I can try that next.

You can go into self test and see if it's enabled and the denomination is set. If it's not, then you need to use a set chip. If it is, then it's time to start swapping a few things for process of elimination. Of course, you should check all of the cables from the BV power supply to the BV and back to the motherboard. The BV will cycle as long as it has power. So one of the other cables could be an issue.

Also, I am fairly certain that SP731 uses all dip swithes off (ID 023) on the bottom of the head, but you may try flipping #10 (ID 022) on and see what happens. If it doesn't work, put it back. But all other DIP switches need to be off.

[twizz63]

I did try that poppo after reading another thread....same result..I will go through the self test and check that ....thanks for everyones help....

[twizz63]

Well , I tried working head from my roundtop and it still doesn't work. I am having a tough time using the self-test to check and see if validator is enabled. I do know that through self-test that bezel lights up and it never lights up any other time. Another confusing thing to me is I tried this head in the roundtop and it wouldn't work either.Could the power supply work partially......as far as letting transport cycle but not the head?

When swapping to JCM200's from JCM145's - I think you need
the beefier power supply that has the vents?  

oops...I guess he has one already...

I bought a DBV-200 ID023 and do have the vented power supply.

 
twizz63,

If the bezel lights up in self test, then it's probably not enabled and you need a set chip. The PSR posted earlier will tell you how to look to see if it's enabled. But generally speaking, press the self test button a few times until you have a 0 in the coins played and a 5_x (x-0,1 or2) in the winner played. Then turn the jackpot reset key until you get a 9_x (9_1 = enabled, 9_0 = not enabled).

[twizz63]

Thanks Poppo, I'll go try that right now.

[twizz63]

OK poppo, that simplified the process and it says 9 1 in winner paid. So does that mean I should get a set chip? I believe I want the set015 .....correct?.....I just want to be sure I understand. Thanks

Actually that means it's enabled. So there is some other problem.

When you turn on the machine, does the BV cycle and what does it sound like? Does it cycle once or like 7 times? And does it make any sort of  'chuck, chuck, chuck', sound at the end?

[StatFreak]

If your answer to poppo's question is that it cycles once and settles down, you also might want to check the denomination in the options menu. Remember that there is no decimal. "25" = 25¢. "2500" would be $25.

The DBV might also stay off if:

The denomination is too high.
The DBV limit and/or credit limit is/are set too low  and you have too many credits on the machine OR
DIP switch hopper limit is set too low for older SP chips (like your SP731) and you have too many credits on the machine.


Check the DIP switches on the DBV head as well. DBV200 should have all switches off with the possible exception of switch #10 on SW1. Make sure that none of the switches on SW2 are on. (The one with 6 switches.)

[twizz63]

Poppo....it does cycle what seems to be correct. I tried the cash can in other slot as welll. I also checked the dip switches with all off and again with only 10 on. I will try and check those other details.

You said you tried the round top head in this unit correct? Did you just use the head or the head and transport? Unless you find that you have a wrong setting, I would take the the whole RT transport, head and BV power supply and try it.

[twizz63]

OK...I will try that next. I did not interchange transports. I was thinking about the switch that shows the door is closed.....could that be shorted or something?..The only time i was able to get it to attempt to take bill was when i opened and closed switch while feeding bill.

What switch? The cash box door? If so, best to just remove the switch and short the wires together.

If not, what switch are you opening and closing when the machine should be closed for normal operation.  

Cash can door switch removed.

[StatFreak]

The machine would tilt and not play with either the main OR the cash box door open, so if the machine isn't tilting, the cash box door is not the problem.

[twizz63]

It's been several days since last post, but I tried the transport from roundtop and same result.  I did try and light the bezel in self test again and it wont light up now. I am still a little slow with the testing procedure ,but I have checked again and validator is enabled. I believe I was at right location for denomination .....and it was set at 5 and hopper limit at 600. Even though it seems to be enabled , should I purchase set chip?.....any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
