CHAPTER 1

®

If the destination tube is not available, if the value set in the 
“12.8-12.1 Maximum Limit” item is reached or if the coin 
destination is the cash, on the Coin Mechanism display is shown 
the symbol of the 

cash 

(

).

Furthermore there are some conditions where the programmed coins are given back to the user:

when the machine where the Coin Mechanism is installed results to be out of order;

when the value set in the “5.1 Maximum Cash Credit” item is reached;

when the value set in the “5.2 Maximum Key Credit” item is reached.

In these cases on the display of the Aeterna Coin Mechanism is 
shown the symbol of the 

rejected coin

 (

) and the coin is given 

back to the user.

When in the Coin Mechanism is inserted a coin which is not 
recognized, on the display appears the message "Unknown Coin" 
and then the symbol of the rejected coin (

).

1.5.2.  Operation conditions

During the normal operation the Coin Mechanism displays the condition active at that moment, 
that is the operating mode, by using a symbol displayed on the left of the lower line.
In the following table are listed the symbols diplayed and their meaning.

The single items of the programming menu are described in chapter 3; while the summary diagram 
of all the programming items and the default data is available in the last pages of this manual.
