6.8.6 Credit Hold Function
If this function is enabled the BV50 will take the notes as normal but then wait until
the escrow line is toggled low/high before it will then give out the pulses per
denomination as set. After the pulses have been given, the BV50 will wait for
another low/high toggle until the full value of credit pulses are given.
For example, with a setting of 2 pulses per dollar, a five-dollar bill will give 2 pulses
5 times.
A Typical use of this option would be for a Pool table with a game price of $1. You
could insert a $5 note and press a button that toggles the escrow line and releases
the pool balls, this would then allow you to play the first game. The Validator holds
onto the remaining credits until the game has finished and the button is pressed
again allowing the next game to begin, this continues until all the credits have been
used.
The busy line remains low throughout the whole process and the BV50 remains
inhibited until all pulses are given.
6.8.7 IF15 Interface
The IF15 is an interface that allows serial SSP to be used in machines without the
need of updating the machine software. The IF15 is connected between the BV50
and the host machine. The IF15 communicates with the BV50 in serial SSP which
gives more security along the length of the cable. The IF15 should be mounted close
to the host machine control board where the IF15 converts to the pulse connection.
6.8.8 Special Pulse (SP4)
This is a modified version of pulse which ignores the inhibit lines, the BV50 can be
seen as always enabled – this is typically used in older machines which didn’t
implement inhibits.
