Configuration using the Configuration Card
The Apex acceptor can be configured using a Configuration Card. A Configuration Card is printed on the
last page of this manual. To use this card, first make a copy using a standard black and white laser or
bubble jet copier. Make sure the copy is printed on white copier paper and is the same size as the original
card. Note: Copiers occasionally change the size of printed materials. This is why you should compare the
copied card to the original card. Once you have copied the card in the manual, carefully cut it out along the
edge lines.
The Configuration Card below is an example only! Use the card in the back of this manual!
Once configured with the card, the acceptor will remember these settings, even if power is removed. When
you fill in the card, use a black felt tip marker and fill the selected block completely making sure no marks
are outside the block. Note: As a service to our customers, Pyramid Technologies, Inc. will configure each
acceptor to your requirements free of charge. Just ask!
Fill out the Configuration Card according to the table below:
Section Number on Configuration Card
Description
Section 1
These lines select the type of Interface that you
want to use.
If you are unsure about your
selection, see the Interface Section of this

Section 2
These lines select the Pulses Per Dollar.
For Pulse mode, fill in the Blocks to add up the
total number of Pulses Per Dollar that you
desire.
Fill out “None” if you are not using any type of
pulse mode.
Fill in the Blocks to add up the total number of Pulses
Per Dollar that you desire. For example, if you want ten
(10) pulses per dollar, fill in the “8” and “2” Blocks.
Note: If you wish to use the Mars 600 baud serial
mode instead of Pulse, then fill in the “None” Block.
If you select a number for Pulses Per Dollar, the
acceptor always assumes Pulse Mode (this
eliminates the need for the usual “Jumper Plug”).

Slow Pulse is a 50 msec on, 300 msec off
pulse. The Fast Pulse is a 50 ms on, 50 ms off
