Using Meters

 

A b o u t   m e t e r s  

 

All vending activity is recorded by an extensive set of internal electronic meters. 

 

• 

Master Count meter. Provides a tamper-proof record of all the counts made on the unit. 

• 

Individual meters. Allow for periodic recording of transactions. All PIN accounts come 
with one (or generally) two individual meters. Depending on your firmware, they may be a 
Master or Copy pair or a Print Value 1 and Print Value 2 type count. They are usually 
viewed, then reset with value on a regular basis.

You can view both total and individual meters directly on the display or upload them to a PC 
using VENDAPIN’s Datatron III CD. The manual keypad meter-reading technique is shown in 
the table below. 

 

When you first turn on the unit, it will be in standby mode, ready for user input, and display: 

 

ENTER DATATRON PIN CODE 

 
Insert the Control Card. The display will change to:
