TOKEN SETUP
The iCoin can be easily programmed to accept up to 3 di
ff
erent tokens of your
choice. Ensure that you have selected good quality tokens and that other operators
in your area are not using a similar
size token of the same alloy. While
the iCoin is compatible with most
tokens, consult your distributor who
can then confirm that the token you
have selected is compatible with the
iCoin.
The tokens that the iCoin learns are
stored as TokenA, TokenB, or
TokenC. The panel display of the
iCoin shows TokenA, TokenB, and
TokenC, and which of these tokens
is currently learned. If the indicator
light under
Learned
next to TokenA, TokenB, or TokenC is lit, then that token has
already been learned. For example, figure 5.1 shows a setting where TokenA and
TokenC have been learned and tokenA has a value of 4 pulses. All learned tokens
will be accepted by the iCoin.
The currently lit indicator light under
Selected
shows which token is currently
selected. Pressing the pushbutton labeled
Press to Select Token A,B, or C
(2)
advances the indicator light under
Selected
to the next token. For example, if the
indicator light under
Selected
and next to TokenB was lit, pressing the pushbutton
Press to Select Token A,B, or C
(2) would light the indicator light next to TokenC.
Pressing the pushbutton again would now move the indicator light to TokenA.
The indicator lights 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 for
#pulses for Selected Token
show the total
number of pulses that will be sent when the currently selected token is accepted.
The total number of pulses that will be sent is the sum of all the indicator lights 1, 2,
4, 8, and 16 for
#pulses for Selected Token
that are lit. If all indicator lights for
#pulses for Selected Token
are o
ff
for the current learned token, then 32 pulses will
be sent. If the currently selected token is not learned, then all the indicator lights 1,
2, 4, 8, and 16 for
#pulses for Selected Token
will not be lit.
To learn a token, first decide whether the token is to be stored as TokenA, TokenB,
or TokenC. The indicator light for that token under the
Selected
column must then
be lit for that token to be the currently selected token. If necessary, press the
pushbutton
Press to Select Token A,B, or C
(2) to sequence the indicator lights
under the
Selected
column until the indicator light next to your choice of TokenA,
TokenB, or TokenC is lit.
You will need two samples of the token that you wish to program. Press the
pushbutton
Press to Learn Selected Token
(3) to start the learn process. The
indicator light under the
Learned
column next to the currently selected token will
begin to flash slowly. At this point you have 10 seconds to insert the first sample
token.
It is extremely important that you hold the token, insert it fully as far as
possible into the coin slot while still holding the token, and then release the
coin without pushing it. To accurately learn the token, the token must be
