Field Installation

Note: Only an engineer who is responsible, competent, and experienced in the safe installation of electrical

apparatus must install this equipment.

At the completion of installation, the responsible person must carry out a visual inspection of the safety critical areas

and carry out an earth bond test between the protected earth and secondary earths. Whilst the unit is PAT tested at

the point of manufacture, it is strongly recommended that it be retested once assembled on site.

CAUTION!

The handle on the rear of the cabinet is fitted to assist when manoeuvring the machine and is not designed as a

lifting aid. Always barrow the machine from the back and keep the weight balanced. DO NOT move from the side of

the machine as this may cause damage to the monitors and more importantly become unstable to hold whilst

moving. Positioning of the machine will normally be determined by the site manager, however when installing the

machine check the following conditions and if any one of them is likely to cause problems with machine operation,

they should be brought to the attention of the site manager and an alternate site suggested:

The machine should be standing on a level, flat and stable floor and is designed for indoor use only. Ensure there are

no local sources of high temperatures such as fires or radiators. Try to avoid nylon carpets to minimize problems

with static. Ensure there are no local sources of high levels of moisture. Check that the mains supply socket is rated

for 13 Amps and fitted with an on / off switch nearby. Avoid a long mains lead and check that the supply socket is in

good condition and not showing any signs of overheating or damage.

Check that the mains socket is fitted with an earth connection and that the earth is correctly connected. Machines

look best in subdued lighting. The machine should be positioned where site staff can supervise it. The machine

should not be moved when the door is open, failure to adhere to this may result in the machine falling over causing

serious injury.

WARNING!

Note: Operators are advised not to open the doors during game play, as game state is not preserved (although the

credit meters remain accurate).

Note: Ensure that mains connector is removed from the machine before starting any maintenance work.

• On initial start-up default game settings and non-data protocol will be active. (see machine set-up for

enabling data software)

• Refer to test and refill instructions outlined later within this manual to install machine on site and / or set up

the machine with bespoke game settings.

• IMPORTANT INFORMATION: AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATES SUPPLIED BY BLUEPRINT OPERATIONS LTD.

PLEASE CHECK ALL GAME SETTINGS AS THE NVR MAY HAVE BEEN RESET.

• By default, the machine has two passwords 1234 for test routine access and 123456 for manager’s options.

Both should be changed for security purposes. To do this please refer to set the managers options password

and to set the test routine password later in this manual ( Listed in the Test Routines ).

Please Note the QXi6000 must be orientated so that it is facing upwards. This places the heatsink or vanes into a

vertical position, which promotes proper air convection for cooling. If the vanes are in a horizontal orientation or

are lying flat, then airflow is greatly reduced, and this will limit how much heat can be dissipated to cool the

system effectively.

Battery Replacement

If the Machine has been switched off for long periods or the machine is reporting “Battery Low “or “Battery Empty “

it is likely to require the batteries changing.

These are located inside the opening hatch door as shown in the diagram above.

There are a total of 3 Batteries, and we always advise to replace all at the same time.

The batteries are Lithium and all identical to each other.

Each battery plugs in separately via a small 2 pin plug in to the main board for ease of replacement.

These come fitted as standard in all machines. Please not they are NOT rechargeable batteries, and No attempt

should be made to recharge them.

Lithium Batteries cannot be recharged, recharging these batteries may result in serious accidents, including batteries

becoming dangerously hot, catching fire, exploding, or leaking.

Please dispose of old batteries responsibly.

NRI v² Eagle Coin Acceptor

The NRI v² eagle coin validator sets standards with its high security and highly

flexible architecture. This 5” format coin acceptor offers MFT (Multi-Frequency

Technology) validation for the highest coin security available. With different coin

entry and sorting options, this is our most flexible solution. The anti-jam sensor for

quick coin insertion makes this the ideal unit for a wide variety of applications where

speed is important.

With manipulation protection, modular construction, and unique MFT validation

technology, this validator will continue to set the standards in the 5” category for

years to come. Created for use in slot and amusement machines, it is now widely

used in vending and transportation applications.

Pairing a V² eagle Coin Mech

Blueprint only allow the “DES” version eagle coin mech to work in their machines, this is the most secure protocol

available for machines to communicate with other 3 rd party electronics within the machine.

DES Stands for Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a block cipher algorithm that takes plain text in blocks of 64 bits and

converts them to ciphertext using keys of 48 bits. It is a symmetric key algorithm, which means that the same key

is used for encrypting and decrypting data.

Blueprint machines use the Dip switches on the coin mech to enable DES pairing. Should you need to replace the

coin mech with an exchange coin mech it will be necessary to pair the machine software with the coin mech, this is

to secure the communication between machine and its peripheral.

This entails putting the coin mech in to “Trusted mode “to allow the first Key command from the machine. Once this

has been achieved and set up correctly the key exchange is automatic between the machine and coin mech. The Key

automatically changes at regular intervals (defined by the machine) this keeps the comms line secure.

• unplug coin mech.

• Enable dips 1,3,4 & 5.

• Plug in coin mech.

• Power machine on

• Check for paired message on screen.

• Disable dips 3,4 & 5.

SCH 5 Hopper

The SCH 5 Hopper should give many hours of use without issue, however due to handling a lot of coins the optical

sensors can become dirty over time, therefore we encourage some planned maintenance of these units.

Opening Unit

1. Turn power off to machine.

2. Unclip the bowl from the base at the back. Ease outer posts in the directions as shown in to release the

bowl. (As demonstrated in diagram a below)

3. Now remove the bowl by easing it towards the front of the hopper. (As demonstrated in diagram b

below)

Now you have separated the Hopper and the bowl, carefully lift the Hopper out of its casing for maintenance or

replacement.

Take care not to strain or pull on any plugs / cables that pass through to the circuit board on the underside of

the hopper.

If the Hopper is to be replaced it must be with an SCH5 hopper not an earlier SCH 3

The hopper is DES encrypted. Therefore, if being replaced it will require putting into “Trusted Mode” to allow

the machine to begin communicating to it.

To pair a new or replacement hopper follow these instructions

• Power up machine.

• Unplug hopper.

• Rotate hopper upside down (wait 5 seconds)

• Plug in hopper.

• Check for paired message on screen.

• Reboot the machine.

MD100 Note Recycler

The Ultramax comes fitted with an MD100 Note

recycler.

This is a product only available to Gauselmann

built machines, it offers a unique advantage that

not only does it have the latest Spectrum

technology which boasts the securest way of

scanning a full banknote to determine forgeries,

but it also scans quicker and reduces the

rejection of genuine notes. Therefore, increasing

cash into the Cashbox.

Another feature in the MD100 is for anyone

operating a TiTo system the MD100 head will

read barcodes and using the GBG protocols

report back to a TiTo Server all ticket

transactions.

On Non TiTo sites and with a Note Dispenser fitted, the unit is capable of recycling 75 notes for pay out.

This can be 3 different types of notes. i.e. 25 x £5

25 x £10

25 x £20

Or if preferable any combination of notes i.e., 75 x 1 particular note or 50 of one and 25 of another,

this gives greater flexibility as well as a reduced likelihood of having hopper starvation if floated correctly.

(This function is configured through Blueprints Test Menus).

We highly recommend that you perform regular preventative maintenance on this product as described in this

manual, because of the dirt which will transfer from used bank notes to this note acceptor during daily use , in

order to maintain the high performance of this unit.

General Description

The MD100 Gold Dispenser is suitable for acceptance and pay-out of all European and UK banknotes. Programming

for this is country specific.

For storing payable banknotes, three storage points are available, these are known as drums. Any banknote can be

assigned to a single drum up to a maximum quantity of 25 notes. The actual maximum filling volume can/will depend

on the size of the banknote nominated for this drum.

If the set banknote quantity or the maximum filling volume is reached on one particular drum all further banknotes

will be directed to the note stacker.

To ensure maximum security requirements are met, communication between the device and its components are

encrypted with the acceptor and the dispenser module having independent encryption.

The dispenser records its own statistics about its content of the three drums. These stats are preserved even in a

disconnected state.

General Information about note handling

Prior to switching the machine on, ensure all plugs are correctly inserted. Failure to do this could result in damage to

the unit.

Always ensure when removing notes from the stacker the machine is switched on, so the sensors detect your action,

and the stored value of notes are reset correctly.

Service/Maintenance

To ensure correct and reliable operation of the MD100 Gold we recommend that cleaning and maintenance at

approx. 3000 cycles (this can vary due to the cleanliness of the notes inserted through its cycle.)

Only carry out maintenance work and cleaning of all light sensors and transport belts when the machine is switched

off or the unit is disconnected from the machine.

For cleaning use the specific cleaning cloths supplied, DO NOT use detergents containing alcohol or spirits.

Blow out any accumulated dust and dirt using compressed air.

Clean deposits of rubber from wear of belts with suitable cleaning cloths.

Community Setup

EdgeRouter X Set-up

The EdgeRouter X should be fitted externally to the community set of machines, and a cable should run from the

router to each machine.

Network ports are available on the rear of most cabinet types, on cabinets that do not have ports on the rear of the

cabinets it may be required to remove a panel on the rear of the machine and plug the network cable into one of the

Ethernet ports on the Quixant PC.

NOTE: It is advisable that the Router is set to a separate power outlet to the machines and is always left on even if

cabinets are rebooted. On initial set up it is advised to power up the router 30 seconds before the machines.

Port Usage

Ports eth1, eth2, eth3 and eth4 can be used for machines, eth0 is only to be used where the router is being used as a

switch to expand your existing network.

These ports should be used for your

community machines.

This port should only be used to expand

your existing network, if you do not have

enough existing network ports available

Machine Set-up

The machines are already configured for community operation, nothing else should be required to set them up. The

machines will automatically decide which machines will be the server and which will be the clients on boot-up.

If any of the community set report: “cannot connect to community server” please check your IP addresses as per the

section below.

IP Address Setup

The machine IP address can be found from the Machine Setup pages of the test routines.

(TEST>MORE TESTS>MACHINE SETUP) The IP address is made up of 4 groups (octets) of numbers. The first 3 groups

need to be the same on all the machines for them to communicate with each other.

EG: 192 . 168 . 0 . #

This should be different for each machine.

Generally, the machines should automatically be assigned IP addresses on the same subnet; Via DHCP, which is

enabled by default.

If your IP address starts with 169 then it was unable to talk to the DHCP server to be assigned an IP address, if you are

running the router in standalone mode the machine may be plugged into a WAN port and not a LAN port.

If you are using the router as a switch to expand a site network, you may not have a DHCP server and may be required

to fix the IP addresses. This can be done from by pressing ‘IP CONFIG’ on the ‘MACHINE SETUP’ screen.

Untick DHCP and enter the required network settings, you must save changes and then reboot the cabinet for these

settings to take effect. You may need to contact your own IT department to find out IP ranges and requirements.

Rebooting Community Machines

When rebooting a community machine after a machine fault it is necessary to reboot all machines in the set. Please

ensure the other machines are not in use before you do so.

Machine Set-up

The first page of the machine set-up has various useful pieces of information available about the specific machine

and menu installed on it. Options available on page one are:

Protocol

For connecting an EDC (electronic data capture unit): As default the machine is supplied with Non–Data software.

Within machine set up the software can be switched to Data protocol. Once Data protocol is selected the machine

can only be operated when a Data port is connected to the RS232 port.

Blueprint machines are fitted with a 25-pin adaptor board to plug your EDC unit into directly. This board is then

connected to the 9 pin RS232 comm port 5 on the Quixant PC.

Demo Mode

Enable demo mode to highlight features or to show customers how the game is played; to do this simply ensure that

the demo mode box is checked with a green tick and then press ‘save changes’ before closing the doors on the

machine.

Whilst in demo mode the machine will report ‘door open’ along the top of the bottom screen, and in each game a

red triangle with the word ‘Demo’ will be present in the top right-hand corner.

• Whilst in demo mode press the physical start button on the cabinet to add demo credit

• Press the red ‘demo triangle’ to bring up the demo options. Here you can choose a feature that you wish to

‘force in’ before pressing ‘set’, this will then enter the desired feature on the next game you play.

• Demo credit is cleared on exit of each game and does not add to meters or continue over to the actual

credit.

Ping

Press here to ‘ping’ www.google.co.uk, this will check if the machine can access the internet. If this is a success the

machine will report: “ping www.google.co.uk successful XX ms” where XX is the time it took for the operation to

complete.

If this test fails, the machine will report “ping www.google.co.uk failed”, If this is the case, check your network

infrastructure to ensure the machine has access to the internet.

IP Config

Press this button to configure the network adapters, and to renew the IP address. In most scenarios DHCP should be

checked to auto assign the IP configuration.

In Credit Time Out

The default setting for the in-credit time out is 120 seconds, adjust this setting to change when a game that still has

credit will return to the game menu. When set to 0 the game will never time out in credit.

Out of Credit Time Out

The default setting for the out of credit time out is 60 seconds; adjust this setting to change when a game that has

no credit will return to the game menu. When set to 0 the game will never time out when out of credit.

Auto Launch Timer

The default setting for the auto-launch timer is 0 seconds (or infinite). If this value is incremented this will be the

amount of time that the machine is left idle in the game menu before a random game is loaded.

MARS Enable, Function Warning

MARS is a software, accountancy and management tool that is an option provided by us to enable a

number of functions on your connected machines.

To take advantage of this function, you must contact Blueprint first.

The option is in the Test menu under machine setup and requires enabling ( Default is always disabled ) .

PLEASE NOTE, This function should only be enabled after discussion with your Blueprint Account

Manager to ensure you are eligible for this function.

Should you enable MARS and save changes without authorisation from Blueprint to do so, not only is

the process non reversable, but your machine will then begin a 30 day count down before it is

completely disabled and will require replacement software to become functional once again.

DO NOT enable this function

without authorisation from

Blueprint first

Enable Combi Float

With this option enabled in machine setup the user selects the maximum float level they require in the machine, and

the maximum amount they want to be refilled in notes, the machine will then calculate the difference as a required

coin float.

Max Live Hopper level (or hopper divert level) is the maximum level the hopper will fill to during play. Coins inserted

over this level will divert to the cashbox as usual.

As with changing any float levels, if your new float levels are lower than your old ones, it is advisable to perform a

full dump after changing settings and ensuring that you dump any excess coins before re-floating. The values

displayed for coins and notes required show the amount required for a full float and the currency denomination

required.

Enable Challenge 18

With this enabled the machine asks for confirmation of over 18 age with Yes/No Response required.
