than 20 coins (that is when the coin total present in the 2 tubes minus 8 security coins is
lower than 20).
Tube 1-5
By choosing a reference tube (from 1 to 5) the Coin Mechanism will signal the "Exact
Amount" condition when the quantity of coins present in the selected tube is lower than
10, leaving the value of the coin out of consideration. In the EUR model (0.05/ 0.10/ 0.20/
0.50/ 0.05), if the reference tube selected is the second, the "Exact Amount" condition
occurs when the quantity of 0.10 Eurocoins to be distributed is lower than 10 coins (that is
when the coin total present in the tube minus the security coins is lower than 10).
Note: in the configurations having two tubes with the same coin value, it is necessary to
choose as reference tube the first between them.
Equation
This menu item foresees a customized calculation of the quantities set in the “6.6.1-5 Tube
Exact Amount 1-5” and “13.1-60.11 Security Level” menu items to define when the Coin
Mechanism enters the "Exact amount" condition. Options available:
•
Active;
•
Not Active (default).
6.7 Change Management
This item permits to constrain the change delivery. According to the protocol used the menu
options are different.
For the Executive, BDV protocol the menu foresees two options:
•
After Sale (default);
•
Always.
After Sale
With this option the change delivery occurs only after the sale.
Always
With this option the change delivery occurs after pressing the return button, even though the
vending machine has not carried out any sale operation.
For the MDB Slave protocol the menu foresees two options:
•
VMC (default);
•
MDB ChangeGiver.
VMC
The change delivery is managed by the vending machine.
MDB ChangeGiver
The change delivery is managed in an independent way by the Coin Mechanism.
6.8 Sale Maximum Time
The sale maximum time, expressed in seconds, is available only in Executive or BDV operation
mode and corresponds to the time within which the vending machine has to communicate the
distribution result to the E.C.S. System. When the preset time (as a default 70) is passed, the
operation in progress is cancelled and the credit inserted in the vending machine (both cash and
by key) is available for the user's new selection. The setting range is included between 0 and
255. As a default the data set is 70 seconds.
6.9 Credit Max Time
It is the time, expressed in minutes, during which the credit that was not used remains
visualized on the display of the vending machine before being cashed (see para. “3.1.6 Without
Sale”). When the time is passed if the credit was not used it is added to the “3.1.6.1 Overprice”
menu item. The setting range is included between 1 and 255. As a default the data set is 5.
