2.2.1 Manual Distribution
It permits to carry out the distribution of a coin from a selected tube.

In this case the five keys of the Aeterna (

) are combined with the 5
tubes; when each key is pressed, it sends an impulse to the corresponding tube which delivers
a coin (
Esc
for the coin present in tube 1,
F
for the coin present in tube 2, etc). To exit the
menu it is necessary to press the
Esc + Enter
key combination till on the display appears the
menu item 2.2.1 again.
2.2.2 Sequential Distribution
It foresees the distribution of a coin for each tube of the Coin Mechanism.
<
After the automatic distribution of the first coin, on the display of the Coin Mechanism
appear two
hyphens meaning that the operation in the first tube was carried out;
the successive coin is automatically distributed and on the display appear the hyphens for the
second tube too;
the operation goes on till the distribution of the coin present in the tube 5.
2.2.3-2.2.7 Empty Tube 1-5
By selecting the "Empty Tube" menu item the Coin Mechanism empties the indicated tube and
leaves inside only the coin minimum level defined in the model (see para. “13.1-60.11
Security Level”). With this operation, by means of the photocells, all coins coming out are
counted and the data reported in the counter before the operation is checked. The possible
difference between the number of distributed coins and the counter result (which is related
to each tube) is reported on the “3.1.2.5-9.5 Correction” menu item.
2.2.8 Empty Tubes
With this menu item the Coin Mechanism empties automatically all the tubes leaving inside
only the coin minimum level (see para. “13.1-60.11 Security Level”). The coin counting is
carried out in the same mode described in the previous item.
2.2.9 Tube photocells
This menu item permits to check the correct operation of the lower and upper photocells by
checking their condition in presence or in absence of coins (dimmed or free).
In the example reported here below, the tubes 1, 2 and 4 contain the lower number of coins,
the tubes 3 and 5, instead, contain the higher number of them.
2.2.10 Upper Photocells
This menu item permits to check the correct operation of the upper photocells by checking
their condition in presence or in absence of coins. If the photocells result to be dimmed, it
means that the quantity of coins present inside the tube has reached the level of the upper
photocells (in the example it concerns the tubes 3 and 5) or that the photocells need some
cleaning (see para. 4.1.3. “Cleaning the photocells and the tube box”).
