XIII. TOKENOTES®
A Tokenote® is a paper coupon that can be accepted by the Hamilton Validator. It is intended to give
credit towards the wash price and not as a substitute for cash. Because of this, change will not be
dispensed if the value of a Tokenote® exceeds the wash price. Likewise, the value of a Tokenote®
cannot be refunded in cash.
It is important to realize that accepted Tokenotes® will issue a programmable
amount of credit good towards all wash selections. Tokenote® use cannot be
limited to a specific wash or subset of washes.
These must be specially ordered from Hamilton Mfg. or your Hamilton Distributor.
When programming your machine to accept Tokenotes®, refer to the options listed below to help you
decide which programming method to use.
Programming One or More Tokenotes® with the Same Value
PROGRAMMING THE STA VALIDATOR:
1.
With the power on, check the operation of the validator. A dot flashing
on the LED indicates it is operating normally.
2.
Note the position of each switch on the DIP switch. (The DIP switch is
located on the side of the validator.)
3.
Set all 8 DIP switches to the OFF position. Then, starting with switch
#8, slowly move the switches to the ON position, one switch at a time
and in descending order (8, 7, 6, 5…). The LED should now be flash-
ing the letter “P”. This signifies that the validator is in the Tokenote®
Programming Mode.
4.
At this point, it is recommended to insert the CLEAR ALL Training
Coupon, especially if this is the first time the validator is being pro-
grammed or if it has just been returned after being serviced. The
CLEAR ALL Coupon will erase all previously trained Tokenotes®
from the validator’s memory but will not affect the controller’s
memory.
5.
Insert one coded Tokenote® into the validator, making sure that it is
accepted.
6.
Repeat step 5 for each uniquely coded Tokenote® you wish to pro-
gram. (Make sure that each Tokenote® is equal in value.) Up to 15
different codes can be programmed.
7.
Starting with switch #1, slowly move the switches back to their origi-
nal positions one at a time. This must be done in ascending order (1, 2,
3, 4…). A dot should now be flashing on the LED. Switch #2 must be
in the OFF position in order to accept Tokenotes®.
