NV9 and NV10 motors
The PCB on all NV9 and NV10 motors is now green - previously the PCBs were blue [Download the pdf bulletin for images].
To make identification easier going forward, we have added a label to the motor detailing the part number used to order the component. Please ensure that only the correct motor is used in the relevant validator as using alternative motors can cause permanent damage to the unit.

NV11 – Validator + Note Float
The NV11 is the latest model from Innovative Technology, incorporating an NV9 USB bank note validator and ‘Note Float’ payout unit.

The Note Float unit attaches to the existing NV9 USB validator, allowing storage of up to 30 notes for change or prize payouts. As note pay-in becomes more commonplace in the AWP industry across Europe, the ability to payout notes is a must to alleviate the pressure on coin hoppers and keep machines fully operational. The exceptional value NV11 reduces the frequency of operator refill, optimising cash management by utilising notes already collected from pay in.
The Note Float unit can be programmed to store and dispense any single denomination note. Using a last in - first out system the last note stored in the Note Float is available for payout or transfer to the validator’s 300 note secure cashbox. Mounted horizontally the NV11 stands 246mm high and is ready for immediate installation. Communication with the NV11 is achieved using Innovative Technology’s eSSP Protocol or ccTalk and each unit leaves the factory preset to at least one currency.

[Download the pdf bulletin for images] The NV11, shown above, has a new standard bezel, PA896 (which is of equal width to existing NV9 horizontal bezels) and a new standard cashbox, PA898 (NB: this cashbox will only stack notes up to 150mm but other horizontally mounted cashboxes are available on request).
