Programming the coin validator (teach mode)
The coin selector can be delivered with an optional teach mode function.
Such function can be used to program two “token” channels (channels
no.15 and no.16), which are associated by default to coin output no.1.
The teach mode is activated by setting the number 8 switch on the left
side of the DIP switches to “ON” (fig.3). The number 7 switch of the same
DIP switch block is used to set the acceptance tolerance to “broad” or
“narrow”. The “ON” setting selects a narrow tolerance.
When observing the mini-DIP switches in fig.3, the left DIP switch on the
left side corresponds to channel 1 and right DIP switch on the right side
corresponds to channel 16 (16 coin channels).
Some mini-DIP switches have a special function:
•
mini-DIP switch 7 is used to set the acceptance tolerance
•
mini-DIP switch 8 is used to activate the "teach-mode"
•
mini-DIP switches 1 to 14 are also used to block single coins, or to
activate/inhibit default tolerances for each coin channel (see coin
label)
•
mini-DIP switches 15 and 16 are used to program two token
channels, each associated to output no.1
Fig. 3 below shows the example of setting up channel 15 for calibration
with narrow acceptance tolerances.
Fig. 3
Example DIP switch settings for teaching channel 15 with
narrow tolerances:
mini-DIP 8
ON “teach mode” activated
mini-DIP 7
ON teaching is effected using narrow tolerances
mini-DIP 15 ON channel 15 is used for teaching
To program the coin selector with the teach mode a
minimum of 10
coins or tokens
must be inserted. When the requisite number of coins
have been inserted and the teaching procedure has been completed (by
setting the blocking switch no.15 back to the OFF position), the coin
selector solenoid will operate briefly and once only.
Set the mini-DIP switches 7 and 8 back on "OFF".
