CRITICAL
SECURITY SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR HORIZON MACHINES
 
Further to our security bulletin number 22 Barcrest Group can now advise that the updated security software detailed in the list attached is now available. The new software is designed to defeat the current attacks on the Horizon cabinet and increase the protection of the machines coin handling protocol.
 
When fitting this new software it is ESSENTIAL that a wiring modification is carried out at the same time to the payout port on the MPU5. This involves moving a wire from pin 7 to pin 1 on that port. An Information sheet, ID 69386, detailing this change can be obtained from the after sales team.
 
Fitting the new software will clear the hopper float, the Note Acceptor BNV key and reset the machine’s volume to the default level. Once the software has been updated these must be reset back to the site’s preferred values using the test routine.
 
We recommend that this updated software is fitted to the machines at the earliest opportunity. Copies of the latest versions can be downloaded from the Barcrest Group BBS at https://files.barcrestgroup.com or alternatively can be ordered through our after sales team on 0161 830 6549
