GETTING STARTED
At power up, the CF8000 will run a self test, where the CF8000 motor will sound.
The LCD display briefly shows its software revision and as there are no coins in
the tube cassette
, the display will show a “Low Tubes” message requesting that
the coin tubes be filled to a predefined level (
refer to the floating coin tubes section
).
Once the CF8000 has enough coins in the tubes, the LCD display will show the
coin totals (in currency value) stored in the tubes.
Note: MEI recommends that a small number of coins (e.g. 5 of each) be inserted
in each tube prior to leaving the machine.
Floating the Coin Tubes
There are two ways to float the CF8000 tubes with coins.
1) Manually fill each tube by inserting coins into the tubes.
2) Use the Service Mode and insert coins through the discriminator.
Filling Tubes Manually
1. Remove the tube cassette from the CF8000.
2. Insert required number of coins into relevant storage tubes.
3. Re-fit tube cassette back on to the CF8000.
The CF8000 will now begin an automatic tube calibration measurement where a
clicking sound will be heard, this is normal. Once calibration is complete the
display will show a total currency value of the coins inserted. If a tube is left
empty the display will show a tube low message for the particular tube.
Fill Tube using Service Mode
1. Press the Yellow ‘Mode’ button once.
2. Press ‘A’ button and start inserting coins through the discriminator.
3. The display will show the number of coins that are required for each tube.
(the displayed count will decrement as coins are inserted)
4. Press ‘A’ button to exit float mode.
