PULSE SPEED
Some older timers may not be fast enough to correctly accept multiple pulses from
the iCoin. These timers require a slower pulse speed from the iCoin. The speed at
which the iCoin sends pulses to the timer can be easily set to either normal speed
or slow speed.
For the first second after power up, the indicator light 1 for #pulses for Selected
Token shows the current pulse speed setting. If this light is on, pulse speed is
normal. Conversely, if this light is o
ff
, pulse speed is slow.
To change the pulse speed setting of the iCoin from its current setting, first verify
what the current setting is by examining the indicator light 1 for #pulses for
Selected Token at power up. Then if you wish to change the current setting:
i)
Power down the iCoin.
ii)
Press and hold the Press to Set Active Coins pushbutton.
iii) Power up the iCoin while continuing to hold the pushbutton until the
indicator lights come on. The new pulse speed setting will be displayed on
the indicator light 1 for #pulses for Selected Token during this time.

PREPROGRAMMED COINS NUMBER OF PULSES
As described in section 3), the iCoin the number of pulses sent by the iCoin for the
Cdn quarter, $1 coin, and $2 coin, is dependent on which of these coins are
enabled and disabled. This setting for the number of pulses for the preprogrammed
coins is called the variable pulse setting.
It is possible to change this setting so that the iCoin will always send 1 pulse for a
quarter, 4 pulses for a $1 coin, and 8 pulses for $2 coin regardless of which coins
are enabled. This setting for the number of pulses for the preprogrammed coins is
called the fixed pulse setting.
For the first second after power up, the indicator light 16 for #pulses for Selected
Token shows the current preprogrammed coins number of pulses setting. If this
light is on, the preprogrammed coins number of pulses is fixed. Conversely, if this
light is o
ff
, the preprogrammed coins number of pulses is variable.
To change the preprogrammed coins number of pulses setting:
i)
Power down the iCoin.
ii)
Press and hold both the Press to Set Active Coins pushbutton and Press
to Select Token pushbutton.
iii) Power up the iCoin while continuing to hold the pushbutton until the
indicator lights come on. The new preprogrammed coins number of pulses
setting will be displayed on the indicator light 16 for #pulses for Selected
Token during this time.
Ensure that your timer is setup correctly based on the number of pulses that the
iCoin will send for the coins that you have enabled it to accept.
