WinEMP – G-13.mft GENERAL INFORMATION 

1General information 

This chapter is intended to provide you with an initial overview regarding the 

advantages and options of the PC configuration software WinEMP. The first 

section, however, is designed to help you navigate easily within these 

operating instructions. 

General information about these instructions 

Text conventions 

These instructions describe the necessary steps that have to be taken to 

install the software and the device environment as well as on how to apply 

the software to the NRI coin validator G-13.mft with parallel (standard, 

Casino, and totalizer model), MDB, S1 or cctalk interface. The index and 

glossary shorten the search for specific explanations. 


Since the various machine interfaces of the coin validator also result 

in various device functions, the configuration of these functions is 

described in separate sections in Chap. 8 "Configuration". It is 

therefore sufficient, if you read the section for the respective 

interface. 

To make it easier for you to navigate within these instructions, the following 

accentuations were made in the text: 

Safety instructions that must be observed in order to protect 

operators and equipment. 

Special notes that are intended to help you use the program. 

1 2 3 ... Requests to perform an action are numbered in another typeface. 

SCREEN TEXTS are set in small capitals. 

MENU ITEMS and BUTTONS are shown in bold capitals. 

At the beginning of a chapter you will find a short "guide", which 

summarizes the contents of the chapter. 

Since older and new G-13.mft coin validators do not possess the 

same range of functions, you must not be concerned about the fact 

that the screen shots shown in these instructions do not always 

correspond to the WinEMP screen displayed on your PC.

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Additional technical documentation 

10 


To facilitate the configuration of your coin validator using the software 

WinEMP, these instructions refer to separate technical documentation for 

the coin validator and the testers: 

• "Electronic coin validator G-13.mft parallel (standard, Casino, SGI, 

BDTA and AMU model)" (from model /4 onwards) 

• "Electronic coin validator G-13.mft parallel (2-price totalizer, timer and 

TV totalizer mode)" (from model /4 onwards) 

• "Electronic coin validator G-13.mft MDB/S1" (from model /4 onwards) 

• "Electronic coin validator G-13.mft cctalk" (from model /4 onwards) 

• "Tester 

– G-19.0594/4" (for parallel interface, validator operation) 

– G-19.0645“ (for parallel interface, totalizer operation) 

If this documentation is not available to you, you can download it at 

any time from the NRI homepage (www.nri24.com) in the 

compressed PDF format. 

General information about the WinEMP software 

The WinEMP software is used for diagnostics and individual configuration 

purposes and to update the complete coin and device configuration (data 

block update) of NRI coin validators and changers. 

After every configuration step performed on a coin validator, 

please make sure that the label of the device is adapted to 

suit the new settings of the device. 

The program identifies each connected coin validator including its devicespecific 

data and presents this data for diagnostics and configuration 

purposes on the screen of your PC. 

The card reader connected between the coin validator and the PC to accept 

licence-dependent programmed chip cards ensures that only the owner of 

the card can configure data at the programming level. 



The WinEMP features 

• one software system for different NRI coin validators 

• simple installation from the CD-ROM and fast software updates from 

the Internet via the NRI homepage (www.nri24.com) 

• card reader "Licence Card Module" for customer-own chip cards as 

access authorization to the programming level and protection against 

incorrect operation (optionally also as small SIM card reader for onsite 

application) 

• user-friendly navigation features based on Windows navigation 

• easy and time-saving data block download for updating the complete 

coin and device configuration in the device memory 

• backup file for every single configuration of the coin validator saved on 

the internal hard disk for restoring purposes 

Licence and utilization agreement 

Scope of delivery 


The WinEMP software described in these operating 

instructions may only be used if the licence and utilization 

agreement has been accepted. 

In addition to the WinEMP software (CD-ROM) you are supplied with the 

following items (WinEMP basic module): 

• card reader "WinEMP Licence Card Module" 

– G-19.0647-001 (ID-1 format, EC card size) or 

– G-19.0656 (ID-000 format, SIM card size), incl. 12-V power pack 

• customer-specific chip card with basic licence (in G-19.0656 already 

integrated) (see also section "Accessories" in this chapter)

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Accessories 

12 


The following accessories can be ordered in addition to the WinEMP basic 

module. But what you need anyway, if you want to work with the card reader 

G-19.0647, is a PC interface with power supply for the coin validator. 

Additional authorization licences 

If the additional licences have been ordered together with the basic licence, 

they are already programmed on the chip card. If they are ordered afterwards, 

the chip card or the card reader G-19.0656 must be sent to NRI for 

programming purposes. 

Licence for data block download 

If you like to download data blocks using WinEMP in order to update the 

complete coin and device configuration, you will need an extra authorization 

licence in addition to the WinEMP basic module, that is programmed on your 

chip card (ordering code 20169). 

Licence for customer-own series configuration (DDL) 

In order to be able to copy an individual configuration of a master device 

quickly and simply and to transfer that copy into further G-13.mft in a series, 

the DDL licence must be programmed on the chip card (ordering code 

25851). Precondition for the DDL licence is the data block download licence, 

that must also be programmed. 

Power supply and PC interface for card reader G-19.0647 ... 

... G-13.mft (all models) 

If you want to work with the card reader G-19.0647, for the configuration 

procedure performed on the PC, the WinEMP PC interface G-55.0359 

(ordering code 26125) and a power pack (ordering code 26482) must be 

ordered in addition: 

For G-13.mft with parallel machine interface, other device environments are 

also possible: 

... for G-13.mft with parallel interface for testing the signal lines – validator operation 

If the signal lines of the machine interface are to be checked, you will require 

an additional tester. The following device environment is required: 

• Tester 

– G-19.0594/4 (ordering code 11809) for 220 V AC mains voltage + 

WinEMP PC interface G-55.0359 (ordering code 26125) 

– G-19.0651 (ordering code 22602) for 115 V AC mains voltage + 





If you already possess the adapter pack 19.0640, it can be used 

instead of the WinEMP PC interface G-55.0359. 

The AMU and SGI model as well as coin validators with wake-up 

sensor cannot be tested using these testers. A tester for these 

models is currently being developed. 

... for G-13.mft with parallel interface for testing the signal lines – totalizer operation 

Test stand 

If the signal lines of the machine interface are to be checked, you will require 

an additional tester. The following device environment is required: 

• Tester 





If you already possess the adapter pack 19.0640, it can be used 

instead of the WinEMP PC interface G-55.0359. 

The ECV totalizer model as well as totalizers with wake-up sensor 

cannot be tested using these testers. A tester for these models is 

currently being developed. 

Most of all, simplify the testing of the coin acceptance and coin return 

functions but also the configuration of the coin validator and use the NRI test 

stand G-19.0325 (ordering code 7753) for devices without front plate or 

G-19.0326 (ordering code 7754) for devices with front plate. 

System requirements

the desired positions (see separate instructions for the validator). 

8 Insert the chip card in the direction of the arrow into the slot labelled 

"Chip Card" on the card reader. 


If you only want general coin validator data to be displayed using 

WinEMP, the chip card does not have to be inserted in the card 

reader. However, the chip card must be inserted in order to configure 

any data. 

Connect device environment with tester G-19.0594 (G-19.0651)/ 

G-19.0645 (G-19.0650)/G-19.0567 and WinEMP PC interface G-55.0359 or 

adapter pack G-19.0640 

If, in addition to the configuration of the coin validator and to the general 

diagnostics, the signal lines of the parallel machine interface are also to be 

checked, the following device environment must be connected: 

Fig. 1b: Connection plan for G-13.mft with parallel interface for testing the signal lines between 

machine and validator/totalizer 

Fig. 1c: Connection plan for G-13.mft with parallel interface (by means of NRI adapter pack 

G-19.0640) for testing the signal lines between machine and validator/totalizer 

The AMU model, SGI model, and ECV totalizer model as well as 

validators/totalizers with wake-up sensor cannot be checked by 

means of these testers. 

17

INSTALLATION 

Connect laptop and card reader G-19.0656 on site 

18 


Connect the laptop and the card reader to the G-13.mft installed in the 

machine according to the following connection plan: 

Fig. 1d: Connection plan for G-13.mft – on site (or in the workshop) 

1 Please make sure that the DIL switches of the coin validator are in 

the desired positions (see separate instructions for the validator). 

2 Use the 10-pole connecting cable of the card reader G-19.0656 (ECV 

interface) to connect the card reader to the PCB direct plug on the 

right-hand side of the coin validator first. 

3 Then use the interface labelled "USB PC" and the enclosed 

connecting cable to connect the card reader to a USB interface on 

the laptop. 

If the G-13.mft is not configured on site and powered by the 

machine, it can be supplied and configured using the card reader 

interface labelled with "12V DC" and the 12V-power pack enclosed 

in the WinEMP scope of delivery. 



Start WinEMP 


INSTALLATION 

The easiest way to open the program is by 

• double-clicking on the WinEMP icon on the desktop of your PC or 

• accessing the Windows START menu, PROGRAMS and 

WINEMP. 

You are informed of the loading progress 

of the connected G-13.mft’s device data 

by the loading window’s status-bar indicator 

(LOOKING FOR VALIDATOR, VALIDATOR FOUND – 

READING DEVICE DATA). 

Once the loading process has been 

completed, you are automatically taken to 

the main menu of the software. 

The WinEMP version, the device type of 

the connected G-13.mft and the activated 

memory block 0 or 1 (if available) are 

displayed in the upper program line. 

The card LED on the card reader G-19.0647 is red as long as the software 

is accessing the inserted chip card. 

As long as the card LED is illuminated in red, the chip card 

must not be pulled out or inserted. This can destroy the card! 

If the software is unable to make a connection with the G-13.mft, it 

probably has one of the following causes: 

• The device environment has not been connected 

1 Abort loading operation via EXIT. 

2 Follow the instructions included in the section "Install device 

environment for workshop (card reader G-19.0647)" or 

"Connect laptop and card reader G-19.0656 on site" in this 

chapter. 

3 Start WinEMP again. 

• Connections or cables are defective 


2 Follow the instructions included in the section "Install device 

environment for workshop (card reader G-19.0647)" or 

"Connect laptop and card reader G-19.0656 on site" in this 

chapter or replace accessories. 


19

INSTALLATION 

Select COM port 

20 


• WinEMP version too old for device environment 


2 Download new WinEMP version from the NRI homepage 

(see section "Install new version of the WinEMP software" in 

Chap. 12 "WinEMP update"). 


• Wrong serial interface activated 

1 Click menu item EXTRA. 

2 Select correct COM PORT (see section "Select COM port" in 

this chapter). 

If the device environment has been correctly connected, but WinEMP is still 

unable to establish connection with the device, the device environment may 

be connected to a PC interface (COM 1...9) that is not identical to the one 

selected in the program. 

To select a different COM port: 

1 On the loading screen, select the menu item EXTRA. 

A pull-down menu will then open in which there is a tick next to the 

activated interface. 

2 From this menu, select the correct COM PORT. 

The pull-down menu then closes again. Since a restart is necessary, 

you will then go directly to an info box, where you can exit the 

program. 

3 Confirm the security query with OK. 

WinEMP is then exited. 

4 Restart WinEMP 

(see section "Start WinEMP" in this chapter). 




MENU STRUCTURE AND GENERAL FUNCTIONS 

4 Menu structure and general functions 

Before the actual software application is described in the next few chapters, 

the general menu structure and general operating functions are listed below 

to help you to find your way within the program and to provide you with a rough 

overview of the most important adjustment options. 

The path to the most important functions 

After starting the program, you will go directly to the main menu. The main 

menu provides all the most important device data and test options which can 

be used to check the connected G-13.mft. The data block download and 

restoring the coin validator settings are also carried out from the main menu. 

The coin validator data is configured from a different screen ("Settings"), 

which is accessed via the main menu.

General operating functions 



In this section simple functions are to be explained once. These functions 

will not be mentioned again for the adjustment steps included in the following 

chapters. 

• The top program line shows the WinEMP version, the connected 

device and the activated memory block 0 or 1 (if available). 

• By clicking the menu item BACK you will always go – possibly after 

confirming/rejecting the query WRITE DATA INTO VALIDATOR? – back to the 

main menu. 

• The program can only be exited from the main menu. 

• Coin validator data that has been 

changed is written into the connected 

device before the user leaves the 

screen "Settings" via the menu item 

BACK and after the query WRITE DATA INTO VALIDATOR? 

• Each configuration stored in the device can be restored using an archive. 

The basic requirement for this option is that the device must always be 

configured on the same PC, since the archive files are stored on the hard 

disk of the PC. 

• Faulty input is displayed in red 

or an acoustic signal is sounded. Before 

the screen "Settings" is exited, the 

warning ENTRIES NOT CORRECT. IGNORE 

CHANGES? IS DISPLAYED. 

• Any settings WinEMP cannot read or which are faulty are identified by 

a question mark in the appropriate input field. 

• Using the menu item INFO, in the top right-hand side of the main 

menu, an info box with the WinEMP software version and access 

rights will always be displayed. You can close the window by clicking 

OK. 

• Using the button ABORT the user aborts a process and 

leaves the respective pop-up window. 

• Underlined letters in the menu bar and in the pull-down menus 

must be treated the same way as in Windows and stand for the key 

that executes specific functions when pressed before or together with 

the "Alt" key. 

• When selecting the functions 

using the main menu bar, the 

access rights of the user are 

checked. An info box is displayed.

This chapter describes all the settings which solely relate to the WinEMP 

program and not to the coin validator connected. 

Set menu language 

Whenever you want to use the program in a language that is different from 

the one you preset during installation, you can also select the language 

English, Spanish or German later: 

1 In the main menu, select menu item EXTRA and then LANGUAGE. 

A dialog box then opens with a list of the languages provided in the 

national language. 

2 Mark the language of your choice. 

3 Confirm selection with OK. 

The window is closed. Since a 

restart is necessary for the 

language setting, you will then go 

directly to an info box, where you can exit the program. 

4 Confirm security query with OK. 

WinEMP is closed. 

5 Restart WinEMP 

(see section "Start WinEMP" in Chap. 3 "Installation"). 

All software texts will now be displayed in the previously selected 

language. 

This setting only needs to be made once and is then saved as a presetting 

for WinEMP until a new WinEMP software version is installed. 


WinEMP – G-13.mft GENERAL PROGRAM SETTINGS 

Set screen colour 

The colour of the screens and windows is preset to blue for WinEMP. The 

texts are displayed in black. However, for the individual window types and 

their texts you can also define any other colour: 

1 In the main menu, select menu item EXTRA and then COLORS. 

As an example, in the foreground three different window types open up 

and in the background a screen layout with text fields. 

2 Select BACK- 

GROUND or 

TEXT. 

3 Click the 

background 

or text field in 

the window 

whose 

background 

colour or text colour you want to change. 

The colour selection window of the Windows control panel opens. 

4 Either select the 

predefined basic colour 

on the left-hand side 

or select your own colour 

on the right-hand side. 

5 Confirm selection with 

OK. 

The window closes, and 

the previously selected 

window type or text field 

is displayed in the new colour. 

6 Repeat steps 2 to 5 until all the desired colour changes have been 

made for all the window types and text fields. 

7 Confirm all changes with OK. 

The windows close, and the program is then displayed in the new 

colours selected. 


You can use the button STANDARD to restore the original colour 

selection. 

These settings only need to be performed once and are then saved as a 

presetting for WinEMP until a new WinEMP software version is installed.

PREPARATION 

6 Preparation 

26 


This chapter describes all those tasks which should be performed before 

the coin validator data is actually set: 

• Check device data and functionality 

• Test signal lines (for parallel interface only) 

• Test acceptance gate 

• Display licences of the chip card 

• Select memory block for configuration (only with double block datamanagement) 

Check device data and functionality 

The main menu, which you will access automatically after starting up the 

program, enables you to check the perfect working order of the device before 

configuring the G-13.mft using the presented basic and I/O data. 




PREPARATION 

The left column displays the device data for the connected G-13.mft: 

• ORDER NUMBER/DEVICE NUMBER/ORDERING CODE 

(compare label of coin validator) 

• Date of programming of all default values 

(DATE OF MANUFACTURE) 

• Date of last change to the coin validator data 

(DATE OF LAST ADJUSTMENT) 

With double block data-management, 

the upper date applies to memory 

block 0, and the lower date applies to 

memory block 1. If both memory blocks 

were programmed or changed on the 

same day, only one date is displayed 

(as shown). 

• 8-digit number of the current DATA BLOCK in 

the device memory and its 3-digit REVISION 

NUMBER (update number of this data block) 

(compare label of coin validator) 

• SOFTWARE VERSION of the G-13.mft 

• Status of the CHECKSUMS (RAM or EEPROM) 

(OK/ERR) 

If one of the checksums is defective (display = ERR), the coin validator 

will not accept any coins. The device must then be checked by a service 

technician and repaired if necessary. 

27

PREPARATION 

28 


The right-hand column of the screen provides information about the status 

of the most important functions of the G-13.mft: 

• OPERATING VOLTAGE 

• Status of the RETURN 

SIGNAL: 

INACTIVE (no signal)/ 

ACTIVE (signal, when 

return lever is pressed) 

• Status of the COMMON 

INHIBIT SIGNAL (only 

parallel interface): 

INACTIVE (no signal)/ 

ACTIVE (signal from tester/vending machine) 

• Status of the external INDIVIDUAL INHIBIT SIGNALS (only parallel validator 

operation): 

_ = not inhibited by tester/vending machine 

DIGIT of the line = inhibited by tester/vending machine 

• Number of coin CHANNEL, which accepted the coin inserted LAST 

• Status/functionality of accepted coin sensors (CP3/CP4 SIGNAL): 

INACTIVE – Sensor in the standby state and not covered 

ACTIVE – Sensor covered e.g. by coin pile-up or faulty 

(remove objects in front of the sensor or have the sensor 

replaced by the service technician) 

• PRICES set using switching blocks on the rear of the G-13.mft (only 1-/ 

2-price totalizer operation) 

• TIMER period and corresponding price set using switching blocks on 

the rear of the G-13.mft (only timer operation) 

• Price set for one game and BONUS levels set using switching blocks on 

the rear of the G-13.mft (only TV totalizer operation) 

• DIL SWITCH positions of the switching blocks on the rear of the 

G-13.mft: 

_ = OFF/DIGIT = ON 

(Please refer to separate G-13.mft instructions for function of the DIL 

switches) 

• Status/functionality of light barriers (LS1/LS2 SENSOR): 

OK – Sensor in the standby state and not covered 

ERR – Sensor covered, e.g., by coin pile-up or defective 

(remove objects in front of the sensor or have the sensor 

replaced by a service technician) 

• ERROR MESSAGE (for error remedy see Chap. 13 "Status and error 

massages") 

WinEMP registers any state changes (e.g. caused by coin insertion 

or switching a DIL switch) and displays these changes on the screen 

so that you can then test the above-mentioned functions of the coin 

validator. 



Perform tests 


PREPARATION 

Two basic requirements for the functionality of the G-13.mft are reliable 

signal lines between the machine (tester) and the G-13.mft as well as a 

perfectly functioning acceptance gate. WinEMP enables you to test these 

equipment parts. 

Test signal lines (only for parallel interface) 

Signal lines can only be checked, if the coin validator is supplied 

with power by the NRI testers G-19.0594/G-19.0651 or G-19.0645/ 

G-19.0650. 

To test the external inhibit signal lines between the vending machine (tester) 

and the G-13.mft in validator operation or the reset and common inhibit 

signal line between the vending machine (tester) and the G-13.mft in 

totalizer operation, select menu item TESTS in the main menu and then 

LINE TEST. 

While the status display is displaying the message LINES ARE BEING CHECKED 

– PLEASE WAIT, the function of the external signal lines is checked automatically. 

On the tester, the LEDs assigned to the signal lines light up briefly. 

If an LED does not light up, either the connection between the G-13.mft and 

the vending machine (tester) is defective (cable, plug-in connections) or a 

coin validator component is defective. In this case, please contact the 

service technician. 

Test acceptance gate 

To test the acceptance gate of the G-13.mft, please select menu item 

TESTS in the main menu and then GATE TEST. 

While the status display is displaying the message GATES ARE BEING CHECKED 

– PLEASE WAIT, the function of the acceptance gate is checked automatically. 

You can hear the solenoid being activated and released again. 

If you can’t hear a noise, the module must be checked. 

29

PREPARATION 

Display authorization licences of the chip card 

30 


If you wish to know which WinEMP licences are programmed on the chip 

card inserted in addition to the basic licence, simply open the info box: 

1 In the main menu, select menu item INFO. 

Apart from the software version in 

the top field the two bottom fields 

list the additional licences of the 

chip card: 

• DOWNLOAD LICENCE for data block 

download using WinEMP, for a 

certain device series 

• PALMEMP LICENCE for data block 

download using NRI Palm OS ® 

application PalmEMP, for all 

NRI coin validators (no longer 

available) 

• DDL LICENCE (DUPLICATE) for 

series configuration of NRI 

G-13.mft coin validators (from device version /4 on) according to 

customer's requirement 

The ACCESS LEVEL in the second field specifies the different 

authorization levels for customers and service technicians. 

2 Close the info box with OK. 

The chip card is only read out if a coin validator is connected. 



Select memory block for configuration 

(only with double block data-management) 


PREPARATION 

The memory block 0 or 1 to be configured does not have to be activated using 

the DIL switch on the rear side of the coin validator but can also be selected 

with the aid of WinEMP instead. 

The currently active memory block is displayed in the program line at the top 

of the screen. 

If you want to configure or check the data of the other memory block: 

Select menu item TESTS in the main menu and then SELECT BLOCK. 

After the status-bar indicator has been completed, the activated memory 

block is displayed at the top in the program bar and its data is displayed on 

the screen. 

Before configuring the coin channels, always make sure that 

the correct memory block is activated, otherwise the settings 

will be incorrect. 

When the coin validator is connected to the PC, the data of the 

memory block set at the DIL switch is always downloaded.

MEASURED COIN VALUES AND CHANNEL VALUES 

32 


7 Measured coin values and channel values 

This chapter briefly describes the measuring principle of the G-13.mft and 

then the comparison between the measured values of the coins inserted into 

the G-13.mft and the channel values configured in the memory block of the 

G-13.mft. 

Measuring principle of the G-13.mft 

Coins inserted into the G-13.mft pass sensors which check the coins and 

there they generate individual measurement values. Due to the special 

design and arrangement of these sensors, each coin is checked for its 

material properties and dimensions. A so-called acceptance band which 

consists of an upper limit value and a lower limit value is stored for each coin 

type to ensure that the G-13.mft knows whether to accept a coin or not. If the 

measured values of a coin are within the acceptance band, the coin is 

accepted for sale as soon as it has passed the acceptance gate, but if the 

measured values exceed the acceptance band the coin is rejected and 

directed into the return area. 

To improve the rejection of false coins, up to three coin channels with 

different acceptance band widths can be assigned to the same coin type: 

• normal coin channel (low channel number) with wide acceptance 

band for the highest possible acceptance of genuine coins 

• if necessary, narrow coin channel (higher/highest channel number) 

with narrower acceptance band for improved rejection of false coins 

• if necessary, very narrow coin channel (highest channel number) with 

extremely narrowed acceptance band for the highest rejection of false 

coins but with still acceptable acceptance of genuine coins 

For most coin types, two coin channels – one normal and one narrow – are 

configured. Which coin type is programmed in which coin channel and 

which channel accepts which coin is displayed on the "Settings" screen. 





Which coin type is accepted in which coin channel? 

The G-13.mft compares the measured values of the coins inserted with the 

programmed acceptance band of every coin channel. The coin will only be 

accepted in this coin channel if the measured values are within the limit 

values of at least one acceptance band. WinEMP distinguishes between 

four acceptance classes and displays them in colour for the coin channels 

involved: 

red – the coin channel did not accept the coin; the coin channel has 

been configured for a different coin type. The measured coin 

values are clearly beyond the acceptance band. 

light-red– the coin channel did not accept the coin; the coin channel has 

(divided) been configured for a different coin type. The measured coin 

values are only slightly beyond the acceptance band. 

yellow – the coin channel accepted the coin, and the measured coin 

(divided) values are within the acceptance band but very close to the 

limit values; the channel may need to be re-adjusted. 

green – the coin channel accepted the coin. The measured coin values 

are clearly within the acceptance band. 

To be able to compare individual measured coin values with the programmed 

acceptance bands of the coin channels by inserting coins: 

1 In the main menu select menu item SETTINGS and 

then EDIT. 

A new "Settings" screen appears which shows all the 

channel data at a glance and is used to perform the 

entire configuration of the G-13.mft (G-13.mft with 

parallel interface, validator operation, in the example). 

33


34 


2 Insert a coin in the G-13.mft. 

The screen displays the acceptance class of the coin for the 

individual coin channels under the heading ACCEPTED next to the coin 

channel numbers in different colours (right-hand side: green and 

yellow = accepted; left-hand side: light-red and red = rejected). 

If there is no colour next to one of the coin channels it means that 

the coin channel has not been configured i.e. no coin type has been 

assigned to it. 

3 Either return to the main menu by clicking menu item BACK or 

adjust the acceptance bands of the coin channels or teach the coin 

channels again (see Chap. 8 "Configuration").

Any settings made are saved in the software initially after they have been 

entered. The user is asked if the data entered is to be written into the 

G-13.mft when he exits the screen via the menu item BACK. By clicking on 

the button YES all the new values of the screen would be saved in the coin 

validator. 

If certain settings need to be cancelled and old configurations 

restored, a device must always be configured on the same PC 

because the archive files to be loaded are saved on the hard 

disk of the PC (see Chap. 10 "Restore G-13.mft settings"). 




CONFIGURATION 

Optimize acceptance of genuine coins and rejection of false coins 

WinEMP enables you to adjust the acceptance band of the individual coin 

channels following the insertion of genuine and corresponding false coins in 

order to optimize the relationship between highest possible acceptance of 

genuine coins and rejection of false coins: 

1 Select menu item INSERT COINS and then GENUINE COINS. 

The screen message PLEASE INSERT 

AT LEAST 30 GENUINE COINS is then 

displayed. 

2 Insert 30 genuine coins of the same 

coin type into the G-13.mft 

(representative selection). 

For the purpose of verification, the screen display indicates the insertion 

of a coin and starts counting from 0 to 30. The coloured acceptance 

class shows which coin is accepted by which coin channel. After the 

30 th coin has been inserted, the pop-up window closes. 

On the "Settings" screen the G-13.mft is in the setting mode and no 

longer in the normal operating mode, i.e. acceptance of the coin is 

merely simulated here and the coin inserted is sent to the return 

area for that reason. 

WinEMP has compared the measured values for the inserted 

coins with the saved limit values of the acceptance bands and 

determined what percentage of the inserted coins have been 

accepted in the respective coin channels. The coin channels 

involved are provided with their respective percentage value 

(0–100%) under the heading ACCEPTED. 

Due to the fact that, in terms of 

technical requirements, it only 

makes sense to adjust coin 

channels with an acceptance of 

at least 80%, lower acceptance 

values are automatically increased to 100% by clicking on the 

ACCEPTED button following confirmation of a security query. These 

acceptance bands can then only be re-adjusted narrower following the 

insertion of false coins. 

39

CONFIGURATION 

40 


If a channel has accepted not enough coins, its acceptance band can be 

expanded as follows: 

At this point, the coin acceptance for improving the rejection of false 

coins cannot be reduced since no false coins have been inserted 

yet and therefore WinEMP has also not been able to take into 

consideration any false coin values (see below). 

3 Click on the ACCEPTED button of the coin channel whose acceptance 

band is to be widened. 

A pop-up window with a sliding 

bar opens. 

4 Move the sliding bar to the right 

onto WIDE using the mouse 

(greater acceptance of genuine 

coins). The respective 

percentage value of the accepted 

genuine coins is shown 

underneath the sliding bar to the 

left of the slash. Proceeding on 

the basis of the previously stored 

100%, the acceptance band is 

then extended accordingly. 

Percentage values recommended by NRI for the acceptance of 

genuine coins: 

normal coin channel 100% 

narrow coin channel 95% 

very narrow coin channel 90% 

5 Accept changes with OK. 

The window closes. The changed value is displayed on the ACCEPTED 

button. 

If you want to reset the value you have just changed to the initial 

value use the ACCEPTED button to click RESET and then OK in 

the sliding bar window. 

6 Check the new limits of the acceptance band by re-inserting the 

genuine coins. 

If necessary, repeat steps 3 to 6 for all coin channels assigned to a coin type. 

You can save the new acceptance limits with BACK in the G-13.mft 

or insert any existing false coins for that coin type first and take 

them into account when adjusting the acceptance band (see below). 




CONFIGURATION 

The next step will also take into account the measured values of one type of 

false coins of the genuine coins previously inserted: 

7 Select menu item INSERT COINS and then FALSE COINS. 

The following screen message is 

displayed: PLEASE INSERT AT LEAST 

20 FALSE COINS OF ONE TYPE ONLY. 

8 Insert at least 20 and no more than 

50 false coins of one type into the 

G-13.mft. 

For the purpose of verification, the screen display indicates the insertion 

of a coin and starts counting from 0. The coloured acceptance class can 

be used to determine whether a coin has been accepted. 

Only insert false coins of one coin type, e.g. only one coin 

type of a foreign currency; otherwise the coin properties do 

not correspond, and the measured values are so different that 

they cannot be registered or falsify the adjustment. 

If you do not have sufficient false coins, the same coin can also be 

inserted several times. Inserting the coin the wrong way round 

creates different measured values for the simulation of several 

coins. 

9 After inserting the last false coin, close the window by clicking 

READY. 

WinEMP has compared the measured values for the inserted false coins 

with the saved limit values of the acceptance bands and determined what 

percentage of the inserted false coins have been accepted in the respective 

coin channels. The coin channels involved are provided with the appropriate 

percentage value (0–100%) on the ACCEPTED button, to the right 

of the slash. 

41

CONFIGURATION 

42 


To set the optimum relationship between the acceptance of genuine coins 

and the rejection of false coins: 

10 Click again on the ACCEPTED button of the coin channel to be adjusted 

and then click CONTINUE to close the pop-up window that is used to 

enter the handicap factor. 

The pop-up window with the 

sliding bar opens. 

The handicap factor may only be entered after consultation 

with NRI, otherwise the adjustment is incorrect! 

A handicap factor is only necessary if a very large amount of 

false coins have been accepted. 

The percentage value of the previously accepted or adjusted genuine coins 

and the percentage value of the false coins just accepted are displayed 

underneath the sliding bar (GENUINE COINS in %/FALSE COINS in %). 

11 Use the mouse to move the sliding 

bar to a position that provides 

both the highest possible rejection 

of false coins and the highest 

possible acceptance of genuine 

coins. 

Both percentage values and the acceptance band previously stored with 

a value of 100% will then be changed accordingly. 

12 Accept changes with OK. 

The window closes. The changed values are displayed on the 

ACCEPTED button (GENUINE COINS in %/FALSE COINS in %). 

If you want to reset the values you have just changed to the initial 

values, click the ACCEPTED button and CONTINUE and then 

RESET and OK in the sliding bar window. 

13 Check the new limits of the acceptance band by inserting the 

genuine and false coins again. 

If necessary, repeat steps 7 to 13 for all available types of false coins for one 

coin type. 

To adjust the coin channels for other coin types, please start by inserting 

genuine coins and repeat steps 1 to 6 or 1 to 13. 

14 Save new limit values in the G-13.mft by pressing BACK or perform 

other settings on this screen first. 

15 To make sure, use the tester to check coin acceptance in the main 

menu. 



Teach coin types/tokens in coin channels 


CONFIGURATION 

In these instructions, a clear distinction is made between two ways of 

teaching coin channels: 

• Teach a new coin type or token in a still unassigned coin channel or in 

an already configured coin channel 

• Teach an already programmed coin type or token in an additional, still 

unassigned coin channel or in an already configured coin channel 

(e.g. narrow/very narrow coin channel) 

To configure a coin type or token already programmed in an 

additional coin channel, you will find in section "Copy and paste or 

delete coin channel data" in this chapter). 

If you wish to allocate a coin type or token which has so far not been 

configured in another coin channel to a coin channel, this is also possible 

using the "Settings" screen. 

WinEMP puts a data base at your disposal, which enables you to select NRIown 

acceptance bands for the acceptance of new coins (data base is being 

continuously updated), so that new coins have to be taught manually by coin 

insertion very rarely in the future. 

1 Mark the coin channel to be configured by clicking the CHANNEL 

NUMBER button. 

The data of the coin channel will be backlit darker. 

2 Select menu item COIN INSERTION and then TEACH NEW 

COINS. 

3 Confirm the security query with YES if you want to teach a new coin in 

this coin channel (data already programmed in this coin channel will then 

be overwritten, if necessary). 

43

CONFIGURATION 

44 


The dialog box which opens shows the international currency acronyms 

on the left-hand side (under NAME), on the top right-hand side possible 

hardware VARIANTS of the G-13.mft for the currency selected, and on the 

bottom right-hand side (under VALUE) all coin types for the currency and 

hardware variant selected. 

4 Select currency of the new coin to be configured on the left-hand side. 

If the required currency is not listed in the data base, the 

acceptance bands of these coins are not available for configuration 

yet. In this case, first of alle click ALL and then select the currency. 

The acceptance bands of these additionally listed currencies must 

be taught by coin insertion later on. 

5 If necessary, select hardware VARIANT of the coin validator connected 

on the top right-hand side (with or without runway limitation (spacer 

inside the flight deck, see also spare parts catalogue), large or very 

large coins with a diameter up to 32.5 mm or 33.5 mm). 

These variants have an effect on the coin acceptance bands 

and must always be selected correctly. 

6 On the bottom right-hand side, select the required coin type (E = 

narrow acceptance band, S = very narrow acceptance band, N/NN/ 

N1 = new/newer/newest coin of one type, A or no comment = old 

coin of one type). 

If the required currency or coin type 

is not listed in the data base – after 

clicking ALL neither, an individual 

coin name must be entered by clicking 

OTHER. 

Entering an individual coin name saves no coin ID, i.e. these 

coins cannot be updated by means of a data block download or 

duplication. Therefore, please always select a coin from the list, 

if possible. 

After confirming with OK the acceptance band must be taught by 

inserting the corresponding coin. 




CONFIGURATION 

7 Save entries with OK. 

The box closes and the new acceptance band as well as the coin 

name is saved in the PC for the channel selected. 

Those coins which could not be configured using the data base 

must now be taught by inserting the coins. 

(8) Insert 30 genuine coins of the 

new coin type into the G-13.mft 

(representative selection). 

For the purpose of verification, 

the screen display indicates the 

insertion of a coin and starts 

counting from 0 to 30. After the 30 th coin has been inserted, the pop-up 

window closes. 

Please do not change the width of the acceptance band and 

leave the sliding bar on 100%. 

WinEMP has stored the measured values of the inserted coins and 

assigned the new acceptance band with 100% to the coin channel. The 

percentage value is displayed on the ACCEPTED button. 

9 Adapt other settings to suit the new coin type (see section "Configure 

G-13.mft for parallel standard/Casino/totalizer, MDB/S1 or cctalk 

operation" in this chapter). 

10 Save acceptance band and all other settings in the G-13.mft by 

clicking BACK. 

11 Check acceptance of the newly configured coin (see section "Which 

coin type is accepted in which coin channel?" in Chap. 7 "Measured 

coin values and channel values").

WinEMP – G-13.mft CONFIGURATION – FOR PARALLEL INTERFACE (VALIDATOR) 

Assign coin impulse number to a coin type 

Every coin accepted by the coin validator passes on at least one impulse to 

the vending machine control system via the appropriate coin signal line. An 

impulse tells the vending machine control system that a coin has been 

accepted. For the vending machine control system to be able to distinguish 

between the individual coin values when there are not enough signal lines, 

a different number of coin impulses can be assigned to the coin types. 

Theoretically, you can assign 1–255 impulses per coin to the coin channel 

assigned to one coin. 


But: Configure the impulse number as low as possible so that coins 

can be accepted more quickly. 

If there are sufficient coin signal lines, assign an impulse and a 

different coin signal line or combination of signal lines to each coin 

type (see next section). 

If too many coin types have been programmed for the existing coin 

signal lines, assign, for example, two impulses and the same coin 

signal line to a 1-euro coin as for the 50-cent coin, which is 

transmitted with one impulse. 

If you want to assign a different impulse number to a coin type: 

1 Use the mouse to mark the number currently displayed in the input 

field of the respective coin channel under the heading IMP. and 

2 enter the desired number using the keyboard. 

3 Click BACK to store the setting in the G-13.mft or proceed to the next 

setting on this screen and store all your settings later.

Assign coin signal line to a coin type 

48 


As soon as you have determined how many coin impulses are to be used 

to transmit a coin value, you can then define which coin signal line(s) are to 

be used to transmit those coin impulses from the G-13.mft to the vending 

machine. 

Six coin signal lines are available. To enable the vending machine to 

distinguish the various coin types, each coin value is assigned its own signal 

line or combination of signal lines. 

1 Tick the desired coin signal line(s) (output) by clicking the box in the 

line of the respective coin channel under the heading OUTPUT 6–1 

and, if necessary, 

2 remove the tick set under any other output by clicking the box. 

If the six lines are insufficient or if the vending machine provides 

fewer lines, a specific combination of signal lines can also be 

assigned to a coin value. 





Define coin impulse length 

By specifying a certain coin impulse length, with which the coin impulses are 

transferred to the vending machine, the coin validator can be adjusted to the 

specific processing time of the respective vending machine. 

Define how long you want a coin impulse to be present for the vending 

machine control system: 

1 Select menu item EXTRA and then BASIC SETTINGS. 

The dialog box 

BASIC SETTINGS

Define attraction time of the acceptance gate and display 

pre-magnetization/coin acceptance time and time periods of the 

accepted coin sensors 

The attraction time determines how long the solenoid of the acceptance gate 

is supposed to attract so that the gate will open and the inserted coins can 

be directed into the cash-box. Usually, the solenoid is attracting only as long 

as the coin has been accepted, i.e. the coin has passed the CP3 sensor. 

There are three different phases 

• pre-magnetization time 

The solenoid is fully controlled in order to open the gate. 

• actual attraction time 

Solenoid control is timed (to conserve energy) in order to keep the 

gate open. 

• coin acceptance time 

Time after closing the acceptance gate which is available for the 

accepted coin sensors. 

This section merely describes how to set the actual attraction time. 

Pre-magnetization time, coin acceptance time as well as the CP3/ 

CP4 time periods of the accepted coin sensor are only displayed for 

diagnostic purposes. 

Define attraction time of the acceptance gate for normal acceptance speed

If specific coins are no longer to be accepted for payment at the vending 

machine, your coin channels can either be 

• deactivated on a long-term basis using the coin validator software, 

• assigned to a DIL switch, which can be used to inhibit the coin 

channels on a flexible basis on site (only with single block datamanagement) 

or 

• assigned to an external inhibit signal line, which can be used to inhibit 

the coin channels using the vending machine. 

Activate or deactivate coin types using coin validator software 

If individual coin types are to be inhibited in the long term or if certain coin 

types have already been configured by the manufacturer but are inhibited 

because they have so far not been required (number of the coin channel 

marked with a red bar), you have the option of deactivating or activating the 

respective coin channels internally using the coin validator software. 

The coin channels deactivated using the coin validator software 

cannot be re-enabled on the device or using the vending machine 

but can only be re-enabled using the configuration software 

WinEMP. 

1 In the line of the respective coin channel under the heading "X", click 

on the box. 

A tick is set or deleted (tick = coin type deactivated, no tick = coin 

type activated, and the channel number is marked in red or is no 

longer marked). 

By clicking on the box again, you can cancel the entry. 






(only with single block data-management for inhibiting via DIL switches) 

If your coin validator data-manages all 32 coin channels in a single switching 

block and, if you want to be able to inhibit individual coin types or a coin group 

directly on site using the coin validator with the help of the DIL switches, you 

must assign the respective coin types to the first eight DIL switches of the 

upper switching block in WinEMP first: 

1 In the line of the respective coin channel under the heading "DIL- 

INH. 8–1", tick the desired switch by clicking the box and, if necessary, 

2 remove the tick set under any other switch by clicking the box. 


For inhibiting in groups assign all the relevant coin types (e.g. of a 

currency) to the same DIL switch. 

Make the setting easier and use the DIL switch simulation at the top 

of the screen: 

If you set a tick for a specific DIL switch for inhibiting in the 

simulation (here: DlL switch 4), WinEMP shows, for convenience, all 

the coin channels which have been inhibited via that switch, with a 

red bar (to the right of the channel number). 



To inhibit the coin type/coin group all that has to be done is set the appropriate 

DIL switch to ON (see also separate instructions for the coin validator). 

53


Assign external individual inhibit signal line to a coin type 

54 


As an alternative to inhibiting coin types/groups using the DIL switches or 

using the coin validator software, up to six different coin types can be 

inhibited from the vending machine via the external individual inhibit signal 

lines. To ensure that the coin validator knows which coin type is to be 

inhibited via which one of the six signal lines, a signal line must be assigned 

to the coin type to be inhibited: 

1 In the line of the respective coin channel under the heading INHIBIT 6–1 

tick the desired line by clicking the box and, if necessary, 

2 remove the tick set under any other line by clicking the box. 


currency) to the same line. 





Deactivate/activate teach mode 

The G-13.mft is usually delivered so that you can teach new tokens or coin 

types on site on the vending machine in the last eight coin channels (teach 

channels). You can either fully deactivate this teach function or make it 

possible for fewer coin channels to prevent, if necessary, any teach 

channels assigned to important coin types from being overwritten 

unintentionally. 

If you want to change teach mode settings: 

1 Select menu item EXTRA and then OPTIONS. 

The dialog box BASIC SETTINGS AND OPTIONS opens. In the "table of 

contents" on the left-hand side, the index word TEACH MODE has already

box of the channel number(s) that is (are) to be enabled on site for 

the teaching process. 

Clicking again would delete the tick and inhibit the channel for the 

teach mode.

If an external sorting device is connected to the coin validator, the following 

settings must be performed in WinEMP: 

• which sorting control line is to be used to actuate a sorting chute for 

the purpose of sorting a specific coin and 

• in which period of time is the sorting process to be carried out. 


If an external sorting device is connected to the coin validator, you can assign 

the coin types to be sorted one of three sorting control lines or the return 

signal line. 

1 In the line of the respective coin channel under the heading 

"SORT R 3 2 1" tick the desired sorting control line 1–3 or return signal 

line R by clicking on the box and, if necessary, 


To ensure that the return signal line can be selected for external 

sorting it has to be enabled (see section "Enable return signal line 

for sorting" in this chapter). 

The G-13.mft can then neither send a return signal to the 

machine when the return lever/button is operated nor send a 

wake-up signal or coin acceptance signal (Casino operation) 

to the machine. 





Define sorting time 

Now that you have just defined via which sorting control line the respective 

coin type will be sorted, the sorting time now has to be set as the switching 

time for the external sorting device:

Define output signals for coin rejection 

If the coin validator is to use the six signal lines to tell the vending machine 

whether it has rejected an inserted coin, you can define which of the lines is 

to send one signal or several signals in WinEMP. 

The coin validator distinguishes between two types: 

• programmed, i.e. known coin rejected 

• not programmed, i.e. unknown coin rejected 

If you want to define one combination of signal lines and one impulse number 

in order to distinguish each of these two cases:

coin was rejected – regardless whether known or unknown – the 

same data can be entered for both cases.

Configure the smallest coin value as a basis of calculation for coin values 

and prices 

For the totalizer, the smallest coin value is the reference value for datamanaging 

all programmed coin values and prices. The values of all the coin 

types accepted by the totalizer as well as the price(s) set must be integral 

multiples of the smallest coin value. 

If the smallest coin value is changed, the coin values of the 

channels and the prices set using the switching block may 

also have to be changed accordingly! 

WinEMP will mark these coin values in red for you. For 

changing the values, please simply follow the queries 

automatically generated by WinEMP (see also section 

"Configure coin value/token identification" in this chapter). 

When you have taught a new coin in a coin channel which is smaller than 

the smallest coin value configured so far, or if you want to set a price which 

cannot be divided by the smallest coin value currently set, the smallest coin 

value must be changed as a basis of calculation for the totalizer:

If you have taught a new coin/token in a coin channel, it will now be assigned 

a certain coin value/token identification which is to be added to the credit by 

the totalizer. 


The coin value must be a multiple of the smallest coin value 

configured; otherwise the smallest coin value must be 

adapted accordingly. For this, please simply follow the help 

buttons and queries automatically generated by WinEMP (see 

also section "Configure the smallest coin value as a basis of 

calculation for coin values and prices" in this chapter)! 

1 In the line of the respective coin channel, use the keyboard to enter

For the coin validator, the smallest coin value is the reference value for datamanaging 

all programmed coin values. The values of all the coin types 

accepted by the coin validator must be integral multiples of the smallest coin 

value. 


If the smallest coin value is changed, the coin values of the 

channels may also have to be changed accordingly! WinEMP 

will mark these coin values in red for you. For changing the 

values, please simply follow the queries automatically 

generated by WinEMP (see also section "Configure coin value/

The channel is provided with a rhombus symbol next to the channel 

number (= all coin channel data stored in the clipboard). 

3 Mark the coin channel for the same settings by clicking the 

respective CHANNEL NUMBER button. 

The data of the coin channel will then be backlit darker. 

4 Insert the copied channel data into the marked coin channel by 

clicking the menu item CHANNEL and then PASTE. 

The new data is then stored in WinEMP, whereby any existing data is 

overwritten, if necessary. 

5 Leave the info box with the WinEMP standard setting and close the 

box with OK (if you like to change the acceptance bandwidth, please 

use the coin insertion function and follow the steps listed in section 

"Optimize acceptance of genuine coins and rejection of false coins" 

in this chapter). 

The acceptance band of the coin channel just configured can now be 

adjusted, e.g., for a narrow or very narrow coin channel (see section 

"Optimize acceptance of genuine coins and rejection of false coins" in this 

chapter). Please refer to section "Configure G-13.mft for parallel standard/ 

Casino/totalizer or MDB/S1/cctalk operation" in this chapter to find how to 

change other coin channel data.

If all the data of a coin channel is to be deleted: 

1 Mark the coin channel by clicking the respective CHANNEL 

NUMBER button. 


2 Delete the data of the marked coin channel by clicking the menu item 

CHANNEL and then CLEAR. 

All the data will be deleted. 

The coin channel is no longer configured and can now be assigned to a new 

coin type and then be re-configured (see sections "Teach coin types/tokens 

in coin channels", "Optimize acceptance of genuine coins and rejection of 

false coins", "Configure G-13.mft for parallel standard/Casino/totalizer or 

MDB/S1/cctalk operation" in this chapter). 



If the data of all coin channels is to be deleted: 

Select menu item CHANNEL and then CLEAR (ALL). 

After having confirmed a security query the data of all coin channels is 

deleted. 

The coin channels are no longer configured and can now be assigned to new 

coins and then be re-configured (see sections "Teach coin types/tokens in 

coin channels", "Optimize acceptance of genuine coins and rejection of 

false coins", "Configure G-13.mft for parallel standard/Casino/totalizer or 

MDB/S1/cctalk operation" in this chapter). 



Change token/coin name 


CONFIGURATION 

If you have taught a new token or a new coin at the vending machine on site, 

you can give this new coin a name for convenience: 

If you store an individual coin name, no coin ID is saved, i.e. 

these coins cannot be updated through data block download 

or duplication later on. 

Therefore, please only change the coin name of the tokens 

which have been taught on the vending machine. 

All the other coin names are automatically given with coin ID, 

if you want a teach a coin using WinEMP (see section "Teach 

coin types/tokens in coin channels“ in this chapter). 

1 Mark the corresponding coin channel by clicking the respective 

CHANNEL NUMBER button. 


2 Select menu item CHANNEL and then COIN NAME ... 

A pop-up window opens for entering a specific coin designation. 

3 – Under CURRENCY 

enter either a token identification (e.g. TK1) 

or the 3-digit currency acronym according 

to ISO 4217, 

– under COIN 

enter the token number or the coin value and 

– confirm with OK. 

The pop-up window closes and the new coin designation is 

displayed. 

4 Adapt other settings, if necessary, to suit the new coin type/token 

(see section "Configure G-13.mft for parallel standard/Casino/ 

totalizer, MDB/S1 or cctalk operation" in this chapter). 

5 Save all settings in the G-13.mft with BACK. 

117

CONFIGURATION 

Duplicate G-13.mft data for series configuration 

118 


You only can duplicate G-13.mft data, if a DDL licence is 

programmed on your WinEMP chip card (see also INFO box in the 

main menu). 

If the same settings are to be made for several coin validators of the G-13.mft 

series, it is sufficient to 

1. configure one coin validator as required (= generate master 

configuration), 

2. save this master data on the hard disc of your PC using WinEMP and 

then, 

3. after connecting the remaining validators to be configured, to load the 

data into these validators. 

Generate master configuration 

The acceptance bands of the coins, which were manually 

taught by inserting coins, cannot be duplicated. These must 

be taught again after having loaded the master configuration. 

Only those acceptance bands can be duplicated, which are 

generated from reference data and are already available in 

the acceptance band data base, based on NRI limit values. 

Configure a G-13.mft as required and thus generate your master device 

(see complete Chap. 8 "Configuration"). 

Which acceptance bands can be duplicated? 

Before duplicating the master data of the master device, in order to load it 

into other coin validators, you should check, which acceptance bands of 

which coins can be duplicated, and which ones must be taught again 

following the data transfer. 

In principle all acceptance bands can be duplicated, which were generated 

from reference data. In WinEMP these coins can be seen on the "settings" 

screen: 

1 On the "settings" screen select INSERT COINS and then TEACH NEW 

COINS. 

2 Confirm security query with YES. 




CONFIGURATION 

The dialog box which opens shows the international currency acronyms 

of those currencies, which are already available (with reference data) in 

the data base, on the left-hand side under NAME. The top right-hand side 

offers possible hardware VARIANTS of the G-13.mft for the currency 

selected, and the bottom right-hand side (under VALUE) all coin types for 

the currency and hardware variant selected. 

The option ALL on the bottom left-hand side of the box must 

not be selected (ticked). 

The acceptance band data base is being continuously updated by 

new coins and currencies. 

If an old master configuration is loaded into a coin validator using 

a newer WinEMP version (with an updated acceptance band 

data base), it is possible, that more acceptance bands are 

duplicated than when generating the master configuration. 

These acceptance bands do not need to be taught again. 

Coins which must be taught are always highlighted in red on the 

"settings" screen.

If you do not want to configure each single function of the G-13.mft, WinEMP 

enables you to update the complete coin and device configuration of the 

connected G-13.mft quickly and easily. In doing this, new data blocks that 

replace the old data blocks are loaded into the device memory. The new data 

blocks can contain either updated or completely different configurations: 

• In order to update limits for acceptance bands only, a data block with 

the same data block number is selected and loaded. 

• In order to save new G-13.mft data, a data block with a new data block 

number is selected and loaded. 

All coin types or currencies that cannot be programmed by means 

of data block download must be taught by inserting coins (see 

section "Teach coin types/tokens in coin channels" in Chap. 8 

"Configuration"). 

Individual configurations which you performed prior to the 

download for the G-13.mft connected and which have not 

been taken into account in the new data blocks may have to 

be performed again after the download (for accepting 

individual coin channel data see section "Configure download

RE-CALCULATE AB WITH REF. DATA = newest reference data factory programming (AB = 

acceptance band) 

DO NOT PROGRAM ANY AB = acceptance band is not to/cannot be 

programmed and must be taught by inserting 

coins, if necessary (e.g. of teach channels, make 

a note for later on where required) 

127


128 


ACCEPT AB = acceptance band will be accepted from coin 

configuration of current data block 

UPDATE AB = acceptance band will be accepted from coin 

configuration of current data block, but its limits 

will be updated according to current NRI values 

TOKEN AB CANNOT BE PROGRAMMED = acceptance band for token cannot be 

programmed 

In most cases the new data block is to be loaded into the G-13.mft as 

specified in the last two columns by WinEMP. But you can also 

accept the current channel data configured for the new data block or 

configure the coin channel data without acceptance bands 

(see section "Configure download data" in this chapter). 

If you have selected a data block with the write protection 

activated (ATTENTION!!! WRITE PROTECTION WILL BE ACTIVATED), no 

more setting can be changed, thus no more data block 

download can be carried out either. 

If a NEW DATA BLOCK is equal to a CURRENT DATA BLOCK, a request 

appears asking whether the COMPLETE DATA BLOCK or only new 

ACCEPTANCE BANDS are to be loaded. Select the second answer and 

confirm with OK if you only want to save new acceptance limits and 

all the other customized settings are to remain intact; 

Select the first answer if you not only want to save new acceptance 

limits but also want to overwrite all the other settings with the default 

values of that data block. 

4 Confirm settings with OK. 

Following expiry of the status bar indication, the data block download has 

been completed. The G-13.mft now has the new data at its disposal for coin 

acceptance and possibly also for the purpose of further processing the 

coins. 

5 Check all the settings (channel-specific and channel-superordinate 

ones) of the new data block (see next section). 

Please make a note of the new data block number on the coin 

validator, so that you are able to find the data block number at any 

time independently of WinEMP. 



After the data block download ... 

After a data block download you should always 

check whether the G-13.mft accepts inserted 

coins according to your requirements. For this 

purpose, remain in the main menu and insert 

coins. WinEMP indicates in which coin channel 

the coin was accepted (LAST CHANNEL). 


Please check coin acceptance with both 

memory blocks and make sure, that the 

correct block is selected. 


129


Configure download data 

130 

WinEMP enables you to 

individually configure 

the coin channel data of 

the new data block, 

before loading the new 

data block into the 

G-13.mft: 


• Configure coin channel data without acceptance band 

• Accept all channel data of a coin from the current data block for the 

new data block 

• Accept coin name and acceptance band of a channel from the current 

data block for the new data block 

Configure coin channel data without acceptance band 

If you do not want to load certain acceptance bands of the new data block 

into the G-13.mft as specified by WinEMP, but only the remaining coin 

channel data, so that this coin channel accepts no coins: 

In column NEW – ACTION and in the line of the relevant coin channel, click 

the command proposed by WinEMP (e.g. RE-CALCULATE AB WITH REF. 

DATA). 

WinEMP now displays the required command DO NOT PROGRAM ANY AB*. 

* changed download data 

Clicking the new command in the "NEW – ACTION" column again, 

restores the original command pre-set by WinEMP. 





Accept all channel data of a coin from the current data block for the new 

data block 

If you want to accept the coin configuration of a certain channel (coin value/ 

acceptance band, coin signals, inhibit and sorting information, etc.) from the 

current data block for the new data block and load this configuration into the 

G-13.mft without any changes: 

1 In column CURRENT – COIN and in the line of the relevant coin 

channel, click the desired coin. 

2 In column NEW – COIN and in the line of the desired coin channel, 

click the coin/placeholder. 

WinEMP accepts the coin with all its channel data for the new data 

block and displays the command ACCEPT ALL CHANNEL DATA FROM X/XX*. 




Accept coin name and acceptance band of a coin channel from the 

current data block for the new data block 

If you want to accept the acceptance band of a certain channel from the 

current data block for the new data block and load this band into the G-13.mft 

without any changes: 

1 In column CURRENT – COIN and in the line of the relevant coin 

channel, click the desired coin. 

2 In column NEW – COIN and in the line of the desired coin channel, 

click the coin/placeholder twice. 

WinEMP accepts the coin with its acceptance band for the new data 

block and displays the command ACCEPT AB FROM X/XX*. 




131


Useful help for data block selection 

132 


To make it easier for you to find the correct new data block, the meaning of 

the most important digits of a data block number is classified in the following: 

X0XXXXXX = Single block data-management, these data blocks may be 

1 loaded into all devices, whose 32 coin channels are to be 

2 data-managed in one memory block only 

3 

X4XXXXXX = Double block data-management, these data blocks may be 

5 loaded into all devices, whose 32 coin channels are to be 

6 data-managed in two separately configured memory blocks 0 

7 and 1 – divided into 2 x 16 coin channels 

8 

9 

XXX1XXXX = Write protection, if one of these data blocks is loaded into a 

G-13.mft, no settings can be modified any longer, thus no 

data block download can be carried out either 

XXXX0XXX = With runway limitation (spacer), these data blocks may be 

1 loaded into all devices, whose flight deck is fitted with the 

2 limitation inside. Devices without runway limitation can be 

3 fitted with a spacer later, (ordering code 21196, cp. also 

4 spare parts catalogue for the G-13.mft), so that the 

5 acceptance bands of the data block will be correct 

XXXX8XXX = Particularly large coin diameter, these data blocks may only 

be loaded into devices, whose coin runway is designed for 

particularly large coin diameters 

XXXX9XXX = Without runway limitation (spacer), these data blocks may 

be loaded into all device, whose flight deck is not narrowed; 

if the coin validator is fitted with a runway limitation, it can be 

removed, so that the acceptance bands of the data block will 

be correct 



10 Restore G-13.mft settings 


RESTORE G-13.MFT SETTINGS 

The software WinEMP enables the user to reverse settings made to the 

G-13.mft, i.e. the G-13.mft configuration can be reset to any settings. 

To do this, the settings of a G-13.mft must always be made using 

the same PC as the backup files have been saved on the 

computer’s hard disk and are also retrieved from that hard disk. 

When the software WinEMP recognizes the G-13.mft and when the data is 

saved in the device after a confirmation request, it creates a backup file in 

the archives folder. 

If you want to restore a specific G-13.mft setting: 

1 In the main menu, select menu item RESTORE. 

A dialog box opens. 

All the backup files for 

the individual 

configurations of the 

connected device that 

were saved on the hard 

disk of your PC are 

listed in this window 

and can be identified 

by the adjustment date and a consecutive number set in brackets. The 

backup file provided with a "(0)" is the file that was read into the system when 

the software was started, i.e. the original state of the respective date. The 

file with the highest number is the actual state of the device. 

2 Use the mouse to mark the desired file. 

3 Confirm your selection with OK. 

Following expiry of status bar indication, the data has been restored to the 

desired earlier state. 

Due to the fact that the backup files that are stored later are not 

deleted if the device data is reset, these configurations also remain 

available for further use.

Glossary 


GLOSSARY 

Acceptance band A range of acceptable measured values of one → coin type 

(with specific → coin properties) defined by an upper and 

lower limit value. Coins with these acceptable measured 

values are accepted by the G-13.mft. 

Acceptance gate The acceptance gate diverts the inserted coins into the 

acceptance or return area of the G-13.mft. It is thus opened 

by attraction of a solenoid and closed again after attraction. 

Acceptance limit The upper and lower acceptance limit values define the → 

acceptance band. 

Accepted coin sensor To ensure that accepted coins actually arrive in the cash-box 

or in an external sorting device and acceptance is not 

tampered with, accepted coin sensors (2 infrared sensors: 

CP3/CP4) check before the cash-box coin outlet whether the 

inserted coin drops into the cash-box chute unhindered. Only 

when the coin has passed this checking function is the coin 

acceptance transmitted to the machine. 

Since Casino operation cannot exploit the accepted coin 

sensors, these devices can be set using WinEMP in such a 

way that an accepted coin signal independent of the coin 

signal is sent via the → return signal line to the machine. 

Attraction time The attraction time determines how long the solenoid of the 

→ acceptance gate is supposed to attract so that the gate will 

open and the inserted coins can be directed to the cash-box. 





Solenoid control is timed (to conserve energy) in order to 

keep the gate open. 


Time after closing the acceptance gate which is available 

for the accepted coin sensors.

Backup file Files saved onto the hard disk of your PC with WinEMP which 

can be called up via the menu item → "Restore" and which 

can restore any configuration state of the device connected 

saved with WinEMP. In order that you have access to all 

settings, the G-13.mft must always be connected to the 

same PC. 

Channel → Coin channel 

Coin acceptance band → Acceptance band 

Coin acceptance limit → Acceptance limit 

Coin acceptance time Time during which the CP3 or CP4 sensor may be covered 

(by a coin) at most so that a coin acceptance is transmitted. 

If a coin acceptance time is exceeded (e.g. due to tampering 

or a foreign body), the G-13.mft sends an error signal to the 

machine and coin acceptance is inhibited until the sensor is 

no longer covered. 

Coin channel A coin channel or its acceptance band serves the purpose of 

accepting → coin types with the same → coin properties. A 

coin channel is assigned different functions and information, 

which describe how an accepted coin will be processed (→ 

coin signal line or → coin value, sorting, etc.). 

Coin impulse length By defining a certain impulse length with which the → coin 

impulses are sent from the G-13.mft with parallel standard 

interface to the vending machine, the G-13.mft can be 

matched to the specific processing time of the respective 

vending machine. 

Coin impulse number Each coin accepted by the G-13.mft with parallel standard 

interface sends at least one impulse to vending machine 

control system on the appropriate → coin signal line. An 

impulse tells the vending machine control system that a coin 

has been accepted. In principle, 255 impulses per coin can 

be assigned to the → coin channel that is assigned to a coin. 

However, it only makes sense to assign more than 1 if the 

vending machine control system does not have sufficient 

coin signal lines and if higher-value coins are inserted, these 

coins have to be simulated for the vending machine control 

system by a number of coin impulses, i.e. when e.g. a 2 Euro 

coin is inserted, 4 coin impulses would be sent to the vending 

machine control system via the coin signal line allocated to 

the 50 cent coin. 




GLOSSARY 

Coin properties Coin properties that are measured by the G-13.mft when a 

coin is inserted. These are e.g. material, thickness, volume, 

minting, diameter, mass, hardness, etc. 

Coin signal line The → coin impulses assigned to the → coin types are 

transmitted via six coin signal lines from the G-13.mft with 

parallel standard interface to the vending machine. To ensure 

that the machine can distinguish the various → coin types 

with respect to their values, you can use WinEMP to define 

which coin type is sent via which coin signal line(s) of the 

connecting cable. 

Coin type One coin type includes all coins with identical → coin 

properties. 

Coin value The value of a → coin type which has to be sent to the vending 

machine: via the parallel standard interface by means of → 

coin impulses and specific signal lines, via the MDB/S1 

interface as a value and via the cctalk interface with the help 

of a specific cctalk output 1–16. 

The G-13.mft totalizers add the coin value of the coins 

inserted as credit until the credit reaches the set price. 

Common inhibit line If the common inhibit signal line of the G-13.mft with parallel 

interface is activated by the vending machine, coin 

acceptance is blocked. No coin is accepted. 

Data block download When downloading data blocks using WinEMP the data 

blocks of the G-13.mft connected are updated quickly and 

easily. In doing so, new data blocks are loaded into the 

memory of the connected device. The new data blocks can 

contain a different configuration of → coin channel data, e.g. 

current limit values of the → acceptance bands for a coin type 

already programmed or information for a new coin type. 

ECV Electronic coin validator 

ECV totalizer Totalizer model which differs from the standard totalizer 

model in a vending machine interface with another pin 

assignment. The G-13.mft ECV totalizers are especially 

designed for the vending machines of the Italian market. 

Group inhibiting With single block data-management, using the first eight DIL 

switches of the upper → switching block on the G-13.mft, it 

is possible to inhibit → coin types individually or as a group 

on site, i.e. they are not accepted for payment at the vending 

machine. With the aid of WinEMP the DIL switches can be 

assigned individual coin types or coin groups to be inhibited. 

155

GLOSSARY 

156 


Individual inhibit The coin validator with parallel interface is equipped with six 

line signal lines via which the vending machine can inhibit the 

acceptance of individual → coin types. With the aid of 

WinEMP you can define which coin type is to be inhibited by 

the machine via which individual inhibit line. 

These bidirectional lines are used by the coin validator in the 

opposite direction in order to transmit coin signals to the 

vending machine.

MDB Multi Drop Bus. The abbreviation defines a serial interface 

specification for an internal communication protocol. 

For further information on the MDB interface, please refer to 

"NAMA document MDB/ICP 2.0" (www.vending.org) and the 

separate operating instructions for the G-13.mft MDB/S1. 

On-request mode The on-request mode can be activated for the timer or TV 

totalizer operation of the G-13.mft → totalizers as default 

value or using WinEMP. In this mode the signals for starting 

e.g. a game are not transferred immediately after the credit 

has reached the price but only after the customer has 

pressed a start button. 

Restore Using the menu item "Restore" → backup files saved on the 

hard disk of your PC can be called up which restore any 

configuration saved with WinEMP. 

Return signal line When the return lever on the G-13.mft with parallel interface 

is operated, a return signal is transmitted via the return signal 

line to the vending machine. With the return lever is held 

down, inserted coins are returned. 

To protect against tampering with the → acceptance gate the 

return signal line on the Casino model can be used to 

transmit an accepted coin signal to the vending machine. 

The accepted coin signal is independent of the coin signal. 

S1 This abbreviation defines a serial, NRI-specified and 

→ MDB-based interface to the vending machine. 

You will find detailed information on the serial S1 interface in 

the NRI S1 specification for the G-40 S1, which we will be 

pleased to place at your disposal upon your request. 




GLOSSARY 

Smallest coin value The smallest coin value for the MDB/S1 and totalizer model 

of the G-13.mft is the reference value for data-managing the 

→ coin values (and prices). The values of all the coin types 

accepted by the G-13.mft must be integral multiples of the 

smallest coin value. 

Sorting control line The G-13.mft is equipped, for external sorting of the cash-box 

coins, with a JST connector with three sorting control lines, 

via which the → sorting gates are addressed. These 

bidirectional lines can also send "Full" signals in the other 

direction to the G-13.mft so that coins are directed into the 

cash-box and no longer to an external sorting device. With 

the G-13.mft with parallel interface, the → return signal line 

can also be used on an alternative basis for the purpose of 

sorting. 

The G-13.mft with cctalk interface is equipped, for external 

sorting of cash-box coins, with a 10-pole connecting plug 

with six sorting control lines, via which the eight cctalk sorter 

pathes are addressed and the → sorting gates actuated. 

Sorting gate The sorting gates are activated depending on the run time of 

the accepted coins in the G-13.mft and direct the coins to be 

sorted into the return area or coin outlet of the coin validator. 

Sorting time The sorting time specifies the switching times of an external 

sorting device. 

Switching block The G-13.mft has two switching blocks with ten DIL switches 

(S1.1–10 and S2.1–10) each. Functions that can be switched 

on site are assigned to the individual switches (see separate 

instructions for the G-13.mft). 

Teach mode In the teach mode the last eight → coin channels 

(= teach channels) can be assigned new coin types or tokens 

on site on the vending machine, which means that these 

newly configured coins are accepted in the respective coin 

channel. With WinEMP the teach mode can either be switched 

off entirely or limited to fewer teach channels. 

Timed-output mode If a game is not to be activated via a short signal but rather via 

a constant time signal in the TV totalizer operation of the 

G-13.mft → totalizer, you can (in the timed-output mode, can 

be activated in WinEMP) use the totalizer's lower switching 

block to set a certain period of time. 

157

GLOSSARY 

158 


Token Tokens are accepted for payment at machines instead of 

coins in a currency. 

Totalizer In addition to the coin-validating function, the totalizer model 

of the G-13.mft also data-manages the → coin value of the 

inserted coins and adds up the generated credit up to a 

settable comparative value (up to two prices). As soon as the 

credit reaches the price, the totalizer triggers the sale of a 

product (according to the operating mode, e.g., beverages, 

sunbed operation, pinball or video games).
