operation, if applicable.

Single Price Interface

SINGLE PRICE INTERFACE ESCROW TO VEND

For an escrow to vend (standard) operation, a vend relay
is required in the vending machine. In the Escrow to
Vend (ETV) coin changer accumulated credit is compared
to the price set in the control logic of the coin changer as
coins are inserted. If adequate credit exists and if
required change is available, the control logic activates 
the vend relay in the coin changer. The coin changer's
vend relay then connects the AC hot line to the vend
relay in the machine. The latching of this relay opens the
blocker contacts and enables the select switches.
Activation of a select switch causes the vend motor to
turn. The vend motor mechanically activates a carrier
switch which holds power on the motor and deactivates
the vend relay in the machine. The deactivation of the
vend relay cancels credit and initiates the change-
making cycle, if required.

SINGLE PRICE INTERFACE ESCROW TO SELECT
(for TRC-6800 changers 

with CIGARETTE

Switches)

For an escrow to select (cigarette) operation, a vend
relay is not required; however, an external sense circuit
is needed. This is normally supplied by the activation of
a select switch. In the Escrow to Select (ETS) changer,
accumulated credit is compared to the price set in the
control logic of the changer as coins are inserted.
The activation of a select switch causes a sense current
to flow in the coin changer. If adequate credit exists and
if required change is available, the control logic activates
the vend relay to connect the AC hot line to the select
switch. This causes the vend motor to turn. The vend
motor mechanically activates a carrier switch which
holds power on the motor and opens the blocker
contacts. The opening of the blocker contacts is then
sensed by the coin changer. The coin changer then
deactivates the vend relay, cancels credit and initiates 
the change-making cycle, if required.
