3.1.2 BV Interface Drivers

After downloading the Validator Manager software, you will also need to download the
Banknote Validator (BV) Interface drivers – two versions are available (32 bit and 64
bit) so choose the correct type for your operating system. Again, remember where
you saved the file.

Both files are provided in a ‘zipped’ (compressed) form – you will need to extract the
files from the zipped file before you can install the software or driver. Any version of
Windows from Windows 98 onwards can open zipped files; or you may want to use a
third party software tool such as Winzip or WinRAR.

NV9 USB Manual Set – Section 3 8

Extract the files to a convenient location – this might be an existing folder, or you may
want to save them into a new folder.

In this example, the BV Interface driver files are being saved into a folder called
‘Drivers’ on the computers C: drive.

3.1.3 Installing the Drivers

There are several ways to communicate with the NV9 USB validator, which include
using a direct connection from computer to validator with a CN392 validator to USB
cable, or by using a special interface unit called a DA2. Use of the DA2 is not covered
here – please refer to ITL Document number GA338-2 for more information. In this
manual we will be using the USB connection method.

To use a USB connection with the NV9 USB, a USB cable with a 16 way connector on
one end (ITL Part Number CN392) should be used. The CN392 cable fits into the 16
way connector and allows high speed programming and serial communications when
used in SSP, ccTalk and SIO modes. When using the USB connection, power must be
supplied to the NV9 USB using the red and black power leads on the CN392 cable.

The connector needed to set up and interface with the NV9 USB Validator is easily
accessible on the side of the unit:

Interface Connector

The NV9 USB validator must be powered up for the interface to be recognised by
Windows. If the validator is not in the host machine, you will need to provide power
to the 16 way interface connector first. The connection information and pin numbering
is as follows:

Pin Description
1 Serial Data Out (Tx)
5 Serial Data In (Rx)
11 USB Data +
12 USB Data -
13 USB Power (+5V)
15 +V
16 0V / Ground Connection

Copyright © Innovative Technology Ltd 2012 GA550-2

NV9 USB Manual Set – Section 3 11

Before connecting the USB cable to the computer, make sure that the CN392 cable is
connected to the validator and that the unit is powered up. Once you have carried out
these steps, plug the USB cable into the computer.

After connecting the USB cable, Windows

should then detect the NV9 USB validator
interface – a ‘Found New Hardware’
bubble or dialog box should appear.

A ‘Found New Hardware’ wizard should then start to guide you through the installation
process (this first screen is not always shown on some computers):

After completing the driver installation you can check that the communications port
has been installed correctly.

Open Windows Device Manager, and click on the Plus symbol (+) next to the ‘Ports’
entry. This will expand the list of installed communications ports. You should see an
entry for an ‘ITL BV Serial V2’ port as shown here:

The actual communications port number (in our example COM5) may vary depending
on your particular computer configuration.

Now the drivers have been correctly installed you can install the Validator Manager
software – this is covered next.

3.1.4 Installing the Validator Manager Software

Installing the Validator Manager software is very straightforward. Find the Validator
Manager zipped file you downloaded earlier, extract the installation file from the
zipped file and double click the extracted file (it has an .msi extension) – this will start
the installation process:

You can choose where you would like to install the software, or just accept the default
location (as shown above). Clicking on the ‘Next’ button will then ask you to confirm
the installation:

Copyright © Innovative Technology Ltd 2012 GA550-2

NV9 USB Manual Set – Section 3 19

Once the installation is complete, you will have a new program group called ‘ITL
Validator Manager’ in the Windows Start Menu, similar to the one shown here:

You can run the Validator Manager software by clicking the ‘Shortcut to
ValidatorManager.exe’ menu entry; however, before you can use the Validator
Manager software with an NV9 USB validator you will need to make sure that you
have installed the BV interface drivers (as described earlier).

NV9 USB Manual Set – Section 3 20

3.1.5 Starting the Validator Manager Software

The Validator Manager software is launched by clicking the ‘Shortcut to

ValidatorManager.exe’ entry in the ‘ITL Validator Manager’ menu group.

The initial program screen looks like this:

Make sure that the NV9 USB Validator is powered up and the USB cable is connected
before going any further. All of the program options can be accessed from the menu
bar at the top of the screen – some specific functions can also be accessed by clicking
the relevant icon underneath the menu bar, and the function of each icon is indicated
by a ‘tooltip’ indicator

Copyright © Innovative Technology Ltd 2012 GA550-2

NV9 USB Manual Set – Section 3 21

Please be aware that not all the program options are applicable to the NV9 USB, as
the Validator Manager software is designed to work with a range of ITL Technology
validators.

These three options are not

used with the NV9 USB
validator.

Full details of all the Validator Manager software functions are detailed in the program
help file (accessible from the ‘Help’ menu).

called ‘Bank Note Validator Diagnostics Tools’, and this software can be downloaded
from the Innovative Technology Ltd website:

When the file download dialog box appears, click the ‘Save’ button and select a
suitable location to save the file in:

Installing the Diagnostics tools software is done in the same way as the Validator
Manager software - Find the ITLDiagnosticsTools zipped file you just downloaded,

NV9 USB Manual Set – Section 3 44

After installing the software, you can run the

diagnostics software by selecting the
‘Shortcut to ITL Diagnostics.exe’ item near
the top of the Windows Start menu. Make
sure that the NV9 USB Validator is powered
up and the USB cable is connected before
starting the program.

The main screen of the diagnostics tools software looks like this:

When running the software for the first time, you need to set a few options. These
are accessed from the ‘Options’ menu:

regardless of connection
type.

The connector is a 16 pin socket located on the side of the validator head. This
connector is used to interface the NV9 USB to the host machine. The pin numbering
of the socket is shown below, as well as an overview of the socket connections:

To use a USB connection with the NV9 USB, a USB cable with a 16 way connector on
one end (ITL Part Number CN392) should be used. The CN392 cable fits into the 16
way connector and allows high speed programming and serial communications when
used in SSP, ccTalk and SIO modes.

NV9 USB Manual Set – Section 3 50

When using the USB connection, power must be supplied to the NV9 USB using the
CN392 cable.

The socket connections for the natively supported protocols are shown in the tables
below, as is a summary of the interface units needed for other types of operation:

WARNING! Do not make any connections to the interface socket

When operating in Pulse mode the NV9 USB outputs a number of pulses on Vend 1.
The number of pulses for each channel is different and set to default values within the
dataset. The number of pulses and the pulse duration can be modified using the Bank
Note Validator Currency Manager Software, and a maximum of 16 channels can be
used.

NV9 USB Multi Drop Bus (MDB) Interface:

MDB is a serial bus interface commonly used in electrically controlled vending

machines. This is a 9600 Baud Master – Slave system where the NV9 USB validator is
a slave to master controller.

To use the NV9 USB with MDB protocol, an IF5 external interface is required. The IF5
regulates the power supply and opto-isolates the communication lines. The NV9 USB
validator supports the MDB Protocol Version 1, Level 1.

When operating in Parallel mode the NV9 USB will issue a 100ms active LOW pulse on
the relevant vend line, and a maximum of 4 channels can be used. There is also the
option to use a binary output where the NV9 USB will output a binary pattern on vend
lines 1 – 4. Binary mode can be set as an option using a configuration card or with the
Bank Note Validator Currency Manager Software.
