Checking the cassettes

First of all, the type and quantity of cassettes which are physically available is determined. The values from the cassette memory are compared with the internal data. If they do not match, the cassettes in question are flagged as 'new'. To operate correctly, at least one operable cash-out cassette and also the reject/retract cassette are necessary. If this minimum requirement is not satisfied, this is indicated on the status display with error code <14>. The device is not ready for operation.

In the event of an error the status display may show the following: <18> Banknotes jammed during dispensing <19> Clamp transport defective / blocked

Dispensing of notes not possible

If the CMD-V4 cannot separate a single note, the dispensing process is again initiated. The attempt to dispense is repeated a maximum of five times. The command is then cancelled by the CMD-V4 with the status display <4x> (dispense from cassette x not possible; cassette empty or notes stuck together).

Cassette handling
All cassette positions are checked cyclically for changes with the help of the respective pressure sensor. If a new cassette has been added, the dispensing pressure is built up. An audible signal is output three times if the pressure cannot be built up. Status code <4x> is displayed. Then the data is read from the cassette memory. The following data is stored in the cassette: Cassette ID On shipment, this 7-character value contains the serial number of the cassette. It can be set to a customer-specific value by the system. Currency code This is the 3-character currency code according to ISO 4217 (codes for representation of currencies and funds), for example EUR. Issue date The banknote issue date contains an additional 4-character indicator (YYMM of the issue). This means that the CMD-V4 can process notes which have the same face value but different note characteristics. Denomination This value defines the note's denomination (8 characters). After a cassette exchange, the new cassettes must first be confirmed by the system software. If this does not take place, dispensing jobs for certain cassette positions may be rejected (the status of the cassette stays at 'Newly added'). Status code <14> (minimum configuration missing) is displayed if one cash-out cassette and the reject cassette, at least, are not logged on in the system after an exchange.

Initializing the CMD-V4

The CMD-V4 stores many parameters in a battery-backed CMOS RAM. i This parameter area must be initialized when components have been replaced (CMD controller, SAT, dispensing units or shutter). The parameters are initialized as follows:

Remove all cassettes. Make sure that there are no notes in the transport paths (all photosensors

must be free).

Check the jumper settings on the CMD controller in accordance with the system configuration. All connectors must have been inserted on the CMD controller. Before switching on the device, set jumper 7 (Clear CMOS) on the CMD controller. Switch the CMD-V4 on. Jumper 7 remains inserted until the value 'io' appears on the status display. Remove jumper 7 (Clear CMOS) and wait until '14' appears on the status display during the start-up phase. Carry out a reset if nothing is displayed. Now push the cassettes in. Register the cassettes with the aid of the product-specific software and calculate reference values (see the "Device Overview and Operation" chapter).
