FOR THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN - A QUICK START GUIDE
Hooking Up the Controller
To hook up your controller, attach the copier or printer specific adaptor harness (sprig) to the controller’s output
cable. Unless otherwise specified, attach the sprig to the personal counter connector in the copier or printer.
If a green wire with ring connector comes with the sprig, securely attach it to an
unpainted
chassis grounding
screw.
DO NOT CUT UP THE OUTPUT CABLE (SPRIG). THIS IS NOT OK.
Internal Settings
Regarding the default premium capacity
coin changer
, the default setting for the US / Canadian switch is
OFF
.
See the separate premium changer manual (PCManual.pdf) for additional information on its operation.
Regarding the
bill validator
, the dipswitches inside the lower housing are preset and should not be changed.
The default settings are SW1 and SW2
OFF
, and the rest (SW3 through SW8)
ON
.
Regarding the
card reader
, see the separate card reader manual (TDA2Manual.pdf) for setting its parameters.
In general, it is not necessary or advisable to use the Administration card to 1) change any parameters inside
the card reader, or 2) revalue or initialize cards.
Putting in Coins
Your
M7500 / 7506 Copier Controller
keeps track of the change available in two ways: 1) on a
continuous
basis, adding as change is inserted, and subtracting as change is paid out, and 2) on an
updating
basis,
through a process called “initialization”.
Initialization involves your controller’s main board looking for changes in state of all its payout tubes’ high and
low sensors at specific times: power up, at the beginning of each vend cycle (when zero credit is first shown
after making copies), when the bypass keyswitch is turned
ON
or
OFF
, and when the copier power (if moni-
tored) is turned
ON
or
OFF
. High sensors are at the tops of the payout tubes, and low sensors are at the
bottoms of the payout tubes. These sensors can either be covered (coins present) or exposed (coins absent).
When you first set up your controller, the only practical way to insert a beginning “change bank” is by manual
insertion, i.e. by putting coins directly into the payout tubes (see figure 3). It follows that the only way for the
changer to know what change it is starting out with is through initialization.
We therefore recommend at startup that you manually add change in one of the following three ways:
* by manually putting the minimum amount of change in each payout tube,
* by manually filling up each payout tube, or
* by using a combination of these two methods, on a tube by tube basis.
Using the first approach, manually insert about ten nickels, ten dimes, and ten quarters in the three middle
payout tubes. Initialize this manual change insertion by turning the bypass keyswitch from
OFF
to
ON
to
OFF
(see figure 4).
Using the second approach, manually fill up each of the three middle payout tubes to the maximum. Again,
initialize this manual change insertion by turning the bypass keyswitch from
OFF
to
ON
to
OFF
. Note that the
last payout tube on the right, a 25¢ payout tube, is non-replenishing, so if you fill up the outside payout tubes,
fill this one up first. This way, the extra change in it is available
in reserve
if needed.
Note: Filling up any payout tube half way at startup is basically a “waste” of change, because the changer will
not know it has this extra change until one of the tube’s sensors changes state (is covered or exposed).
Note: Change is never a problem when using cards, because while you can put value
on
a card (if card
revaluation is enabled), the only way to take value
off
a card is by making copies.
