CANADIAN QUARTER, LOONIE AND TOONIE SELECTION
The iCoin is preprogrammed to accept any combination of Canadian quarter, $1
(loonie) and $2 (toonie) coins. Once the iCoin is powered up, the display shows
which coins the iCoin is activated to
accept. For example, if the indicator
lights for
Cdn-$0.25
and
Cdn-$1
are
lit as in figure 4.1, then the iCoin will
accept both the Canadian quarter
and $1 coin. If the indicator lights for
Cdn-$1
and
Cdn-$2
are lit, as in
figure 4.2, then the iCoin will accept
both the Canadian $1 and $2 coins.
To change which coins that the iCoin
is to accept, press the pushbutton
Press to Set Active Coins
(1).
Pressing this pushbutton will change
the activated coins that the iCoin is
to accept as shown by the display.
By repeatedly pressing the
pushbutton you will arrive at the setting you wish for coins that the iCoin is to
accept.
Because the coins that the iCoin can
accept have di
ff
erent values, di
ff
erent
number of pulses will be sent to the
timer depending on which coin is
accepted. Only 1 pulse will be sent to
the timer for the lowest value coin that
the iCoin is set to accept. Multiple
pulses will be sent to the timer for higher
value coins that are accepted. Figure 4.3
shows the di
ff
erent coin selection
settings and the corresponding number
of pulses that will be sent to the timer
for the coins that are activated. Ensure
that your timer is setup correctly based
on the number of pulses that the iCoin
will send for the coins that you have
activated.
It is possible for the iCoin to be configured for fixed pulses such that it 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 activated.
Section 8) Configuration Settings
provides
instructions to enable fixed pulsing.
