I just picked up my first IGT S+, and it has a DBV-200.  The problem is that it doesn't want to work in the game.

When I boot the game the transport gears move, then they stop.  The game boots up and plays fine but the DBV acts like it's dead, it won't even try to feed a bill.  The illuminated panel above the bill slot on the door doesn't light up at all during or after the game boots.  The validator is enabled in the game test menu.  The front panel does light up in the lamp test.  The validator wires are plugged into the J6 connector.

I removed the cash box and ran the DBV 'bill registry without stacker' test.  It fed a bill past the head and all the way into the transport until the leading edge of the bill was just shy of the transport exit, in other words the entire bill was inside the transport.  Is that the correct result from that test, or should the bill pass all the way through the transport and drop into the vacant area where the cash box should be?  The illuminated panel was flashing during the test, so I know that works.  I believe it was giving 4 flashes after reading in the bill.

I did the 'bill registry with stacker' test, and it didn't work.  I'll have to do it again, as my fuzzy memory can't remember exactly what the results were.  

The transport gear appears to be hanging down low enough when I look at it with the cash box out.  I've read all the posts about making sure the two points in the back of the transport fit in the recesses, and I think I've got them in there.  I'm pretty sure the transport gear is fully engaged with the cash box, although I can't tell for certain due to not being able to see back there when the cash box is inserted.  

What should I try next?

If the DBV's display lights don't come on then I think it might be in your options settings
or the DBV chip version could be the wrong one perhaps?
I'm not the top DBV200 guy here but I'm sure some of our DBV experts will chime in soon.
I hope we can get your DBV up and running again! yes
Post all the numbers you see on the DBV and also the dip switch settings (whether they're on or off)
for them to help ya figure out what's wrong.
They also need to know what kind of MPU board you have in the machine (Does it have the little blue knob on top?)
Some MPU boards have dip switches that need to set correctly too.
Post the SP and SS chip numbers too...that'll help on know which PSR they'll need to refer to as far a option settings set up.

Hello!

Are you using a SET chip to change this setting?  This setting requires a SET chip to change and also you can not have any credits on the machine....

I didn't realize you need the set chip to change that, and I don't have one yet.  I just went back to the game, and noticed that the bill acceptor menu options make the 'spin reels' button light go out.  This must be because you need the set chip to change those settings.  I just learned something new!

I just retried the bill registry with stacker test.  The results are that the front panel light flashes until I turn off dip# 6.  At that point the flashing stops and it will not read a bill, just like when it's in 'normal' game mode. 

I also turned the game on with the cash box removed.  It definately makes different noises, as the gears run for a longer time before stopping.  I then put the box in and the gears started up, so it seems to have known that I inserted the box.  I also forgot to mention that the door switch has been disabled, but I understand that's common.

I just unplugged J6 and booted the game, and it acted exactly the same as it does with it plugged in.  I've verified continuity in the wires, so could it be the the motherboard has a problem with that connector?  How about the motherboard thinking it's not enabled, even though the setting is turned on?

Any suggestions on what I should try next?

I just separated the mechanical part of the cash box, and manually held it up to the back of the opening.  I then turned the game on, and it cycled with the same sounds as when the entire cash box is inserted.  This way I could see what's happening inside the box.  What I saw is that the pusher plate moved in and out, so I'm pretty sure that's what's happening when the complete box is in there.  All gears are engaging, the plate moves and everything seems OK but the light on the door doesn't come on and it won't feed any bills in.

At this point I'm stumped on what to do next.  I could try to find someone in my area with a DBV-200 who would let me swap parts in my or their machine to see if the problem lies with the DBV or the game.  I could just buy a set chip and try to turn off the acceptor, then turn it back on.

Does anybody have any other ideas?

I'm still trying to learn how to navigate the menu system.  The results I get when checking the denomination don't seem to make sense.

Coins Played shows '6'
Winner Paid shows '500'   
Nothing shows in Credits.

Shouldn't the denomination show in Credits?

I ordered a set and clear chip, but now I'm thinking it may be the cash box door switch.  I have a solid green wire off the motherboard connectors that is then shrink wrapped to a green with blue stripe.  That wire simply ends near reel #3 with a red quick connect.  I'm not sure what colors the wires should be, or where they may be. 

This is the last issue I need to fix to make this game 100 percent working.

You might want to download Rons Simplified guide to the S+ PSRs. Its not all inclusive of every chip but it covers a lot of ground, and when your done using that in conjunction with a actual PSR you will be an expert in the menus. Its an Excel sheet within a zip and you can find it in the upload area.

I would wait for your set chip, before we start mucking with wires that do appear to be connected.

Do you have a cash can ? - you cant accept bills without a cash can.

I've got Ron's guide and the PSR for my machine.  I think I'm getting confused by trying to look at Ron's guide and my PSR at the same time, and loosing my place in the menus.  A little more practice and I should get it.

The cash can is there, and appears to be working fine.  The transport gear is engaging with the cash can gear, and everything seems to cycle fine on boot up.  The darn thing just won't even try to feed a bill, and the front panel lights don't turn on.  It's like it's disabled, but it shows enabled in the menus.  Running the 'bill test without stacker' works perfectly, so I know the head is fine.  When in test mode it also lights the front panel light.

It was this way when I got it, so at least I know I didn't do anything to cause it.  I'm pretty much stumped.  With any luck it just needs a clear and setup.

You previously stated that the BV setting is at 0 and you can't change it.  With the set chip you can, and the bv wont work unless that setting is changed.  Personally, I would also change the SP779 chip to a newer chip such as SP1274, the game plays a little quicker, which I like better.

Thanks,
Wayne


here is your sp779 setting instructions.
SELF TEST MODE
Pressing the self test switch or the Bet One Credit player switch “pages” forward through the self test mode, and pressing the Play Max Credits player switch pages backward.  Changes or selections in the options pages may be made by pressing the Change switch or turning the jackpot reset key.  The self test pages appear in the following order:

Accounting System
Communication Type   Determines the communication type on channel A (DCS port).  Options are none {0}, Bally’s serial SDS (XMISER) {1}, or IGT SAS (Standard and EFT) {2}.

Communication
Address <0>   This page is displayed only if the communication type is SAS.  When using the SAS protocol, a machine address is required to distinguish one machine from another.  The valid address range is {001} to {127}.
WAMM/CCOM

Address <0>   WAMM/CCOM is always installed on channel B  (printer port).  This page allows the setting of the CCOM address.  The valid address range is {00} to {63}.  Once the valid range is selected, the new value must be saved by pressing the change switch.  A bell will sound when the new address is accepted.
Player Selectable

Credit <0> [5]   Options are standard credit or noncredit{0}, player initiated credit {1} and player initiated noncredit {2}.

Mechanical Bell <0> [6]   Options are ring on all pays {0} or ring on hand–pays only {1}.

Drop–Door Switch
Enable/Disable <0> [7]   This page is always displayed, but can only be programmed under the following conditions:  if there is no communication, if the communication type is XMISER or WAMM, or if the communication type is SAS with a zero mini system address.  (The drop door option is automatically enabled with a non-zero SAS mini system address).  Options are enabled {1} or disabled {0}.  If enabled, opening the drop (cash) door causes the door open candle to flash at twice the door open rate, and the number of times the drop door is opened will be displayed in the statistical data mode.

Bill Acceptor
Pay Mode <0> [8]   This option can be set so that bills are always converted to credits on the machine {1}, or to follow the player selected credit {0}.  If set to follow the player selected credit, bills will be converted to credits if the player has selected the credit mode, or paid from the hopper if the player has selected the noncredit mode.

Bill Acceptor Enabled/Disabled
 Display <0> [9]   Indicates if the bill acceptor is enabled {1} or disabled {0}.

Bill acceptor is set to 1, but bill acceptor tilt is set to 0 and won't let me change it without the set chip.  I wanted to turn tilt on so I would get an error messsage to help figure out why it isn't working.

I must have missed that.  I never turn on the tilt as I like the game to be able to play without the BV when I pull it.  Are you sure the software is as you listed earlier.  With the wrong software, or the wrong protocol(id022/id023) setting it will cycle upon start, but wont pull bills.

sp779
Bill Acceptor   Acceptor model is jurisdiction-dependent, and uses bill validator software protocol version 2.5.  Acceptable bill denominations are $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.  The following exceptions are reported to SAS:  cashbox removed, stacker jammed, hardware malfunction, cashbox installed, cashbox full, bill rejected, and reverse bill detected.  Use the set-chip to enable/disable the bill acceptor.


here is a dbv200 manual with the setting of the dips for protocol id022 or 023

Thanks for finding that post Buzz. The second part of the thread was on the wrong board, too, so I split out the two topics and moved them to the appropriate Bill Validator boards.

Here is the link to the post that you found. It is now Reply 23. How to turn on Bill Acceptor DBV200 on S+ FIXED IT Thanks Reply 23



<EDIT> Split the old thread into two and moved each to the appropriate Bill Validator board.

Grab the link above and add it to your favorites. Your old link won't work right anymore (It might go to the first part of the thread, which is now another, shorter thread).

The first part is still called ...WBA 11 ... and is in the WBA board of the validators. The second part is now called ... DBV200... and is in the DBV board of the bill validators.

You know how it is with kids: they do listen, and then go off and do exactly what they want anyway, which is usually the opposite of whatever you said. Duh!

I just used the set chip, and the denomination was definately hosed.  I set it to 25, and now the validator comes on and feeds bills.  It holds them in for several seconds, then rejects them.  Searching the board makes me think it's a communication issue.  I changed the dip switch# 10, but no change.  

I'm soooo close!
