System Report Information
For V4.0 X-20 & X-60 Xeptors
(Click Here For
V3.0 System Information for X-10 and X-50 Xeptors)
INTRODUCTION
This document describes the meaning of the data displayed after
sending the R report command via the serial port. In the table
below is shown a report from an X-20 on the left, and an X-60 on the
right. Some notable differences are as follows:
-
The X-20 has more metal readings than the X-60 because it does a dual
frequency reading to sense clad alloys.
-
Likewise, the X-20 has four Tank Cal Now readings to indicate status
of all four sensor reading modes.
-
The X-60 has a Coin Code because it has sensors to read the X-Mark
Code.
-
Likewise, the X-60 has XMark sensor calibration values.

IDENTIFICATION
The first line identifies the firmware version and the electronic ID#
of the Xeptor.
COIN MEMORY
INFORMATION
Xeptors may be programmed for up to 6 different types of coins. The
parameters for each of the 6 coins are shown in columns 01 - 06 of the
displayed report. We can see that in this example there is coin data
for Coin Memory #1, #2, and #3.
COIN PULSES:
This parameter determines the number of Credit or Sense pulses
transmitted by the Xeptor. Normally this value should be 01. It may be
larger than 01 in cases where the machine accepts more than one value
of coin and identifies the value of the coin by the number of pulses.
Note that when the special Unwanted Shadow Coin feature is being used
Coin Memory #01 will be programmed with a value of 0D (13 decimal).
TOKEN CODE:
The X-Mark Xeptors, such as the X-60, have two code reading sensors (A and B) on both the front
side and back side. These can be factory installed in any of many
different positions as needed to provide to match the facet
orientation of the tokens we wish to validate. For example, sensor A
might be a 60 degree facet sensor and sensor B might be a 120 degree
facet sensor. The table below shows the code that would be read by the
Xeptor for the four possible valid token code types the Xeptor can
read. The code may have either of the 60 degree or 120 degree facets
on the front face or back face of the coin.

(not in
X-60)
Metal-CAL:
These are the metal sensor reading parameters, three edge and three center metal sensor
readings of the coin. In general, higher conductivity alloys (like
copper, aluminum or the US Quarter) have higher readings and lower
conductivity alloys (like nickel-silver, steel, or the Canadian
quarter) have lower readings.
DIAMETER:
The diameter of a coin in inches can be computed from the equations
below where the Diameter value is the decimal value from the coin
signature value in the R report. For coins smaller than the base
value, the coin signature value will have a "-" sign preceding it.

OPTIONS:
The option byte contains tolerance information for the coin parameters
and the ''diverter bit.'' The tolerance bits are automatically set by
the Xeptor as a result of the distribution in values read from the 6
coins used in the training (learn) procedure. Bits 0 through 5 are
correspond to each of the 6 metal readings and, if set, will add
an additional count of tolerance to the metal reading during
coin acceptance tests. Normal metal tolerances are either +/- 2 or 3
counts depending on which reading it is. Bit 6 is automatically set
during the coin learn procedure if additional diameter tolerance is
required. Bit 7, the diverter bit, is normally set for coins 4,
5, and 6 and cleared for coins 1, 2, and 3. If you are using the
diverter option, then coins 4, 5,
and 6 will always activate the external diverter. However, this
can be changed by the Xaminer if required.
LIST ACTIVE COINS:
The "L" List Active Coins command will produce a more
descriptive list of the coins something like the one shown in the
boxes below. On the left, Coin Memory #1 and #5 have a specific
country identification which comes from having been programmed by the
X-20 Coin Selector. The currency designator is per ISO 4217 Currency
Symbols. Coin Memory #2 and #3 were programmed by the usual manual
method and indicate output value that it was learned, and the diameter
measured.

1) Output-1 USD 0.25 Rev-0
2) Output-1 Learn 1.049"
3) Unwanted Learn 1.039"

CALIBRATION
INFORMATION
Tank Cal: 40 Now: 40 4A 3C 40
Sys Cnfg: 08 Tilt 1/3 Sec: 04
Cred ms: 20 Dvt D/P ms: 10 80
DiaOp:
The values following DiaOp: are the sensor calibration
coefficients for the diameter optical sensors.
These values are indicative of an automatic gain control type
adjustment to compensate for variation in components and in possible
dust and dirt during normal operation.
These values should normally
be between 01 and 07, although if one of them is at 00 or 08 that may
be acceptable.
CrOp:
The 2 credit optical sensors (one above and one below the accept gate)
are optional components dependant on the configuration requirements
for the machine. If they are not present, both values will be 00.
Otherwise, values in the range of 01 to 05 are normal.
XMark:
The 4 X-Mark sensors are calibrated in a procedure using a folded
white business card in the chute and pressing the button while the
rotary switch is in position 9 (for rear sensors) or 10 (for front
sensors). As these sensors are reflective in nature, they must be
calibrated relative to a standard reflecting target... thus the folded
white credit card. These values should normally be between 01 and 07,
although if one of them is at 00 or 08 that may be acceptable.
However, if they are all reading 08, it is a sure sign that the optics
have not been calibrated.
Tank: Now:
The Tank: and Now: parameter indicate the readings of
the metal sensors when no metal is present. Their values should be
between 40 and 60.
SysConfig INFORMATION
The SysConfig Number contains a couple of bits that control overall
operation of the Xeptor. The function of the bits are defined as
follows:

TILT TIME
Tilt Time is the amount of time in 1/3 second intervals that the
Xeptor will self-inhibit in the event of a reverse coin, a slow coin
(such as a strung coin), or when an excess number of bad coins have
been deposited recently. The standard value is 09, which produces a 3
second self-inhibit for these conditions.
CREDIT ms
Credit ms is the pulse length of the Credit and Sense outputs in
milliseconds. The value is in hexadecimal. Most machines are happy
with a value of 20 (32ms decimal), although a few machines (primarily
Sigma Games) require a larger value.
DIVERT DLY/PLS
These two parameters represent the Delay from Sense (coin about midway
through the Xeptor) until the start of the Divert output pulse to
optionally control an external diverter. The second parameter is the
length of the Divert pulse. Both values are in hexadecimal. Values of
10 and 50 would be typical for an IGT machine.
