value of the coin being dispensed and the total 
number of coins remaining in that tube.  

2. 

OR INSERT COINS - 

To fill the changer, simply 

drop coins in the coin slot. The display will show 
the value of the coin and the total number of coins 
in that tube. Note that coins can also be added 
through the back of the changer. However, the 
control will not have an accurate count of the coins 
in the tube unless the tube is filled completely. 
When the high-level sensor in the tube detects 
coins, the control will set the correct coin count for 
that tube.

product time to settle or cool. The delay must be manually 
started each time sales are to be delayed. Delayed sales do not 
add to or subtract from the time limits imposed by the Health 
and Safety rules (Refer to 

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 

on 

page 2). To automatically prevent sales during specific days and 
times, use
