Programming of Coins
There are a variety of ways in which the coin acceptance of the EMP 500 v4 may
be programmed.
The coin selector can “learn” new coin parameters, including individual tolerance
requirements, with the help of the Calibration Function. Calibration is carried out
either using the PC based wheasy 2 software or directly in the vending machine
using the Teach mode Function (see On site programming) or using whpocket for
the Palm OS
®
organizer.
Yet another alternative would be to transfer a previously prepared complete coin
parameter data set from the PC to the coin selector. This is commonly referred to
as the Cloning Function. This method is far less involved than calibration because
it dispenses with the time consuming task of inserting coins. A pre-requisite
however is that an approved and appropriate coin parameter data set is available.
These may be acquired via the internet from

h Münzprüfer.
The wheasy 2 cloning function also allows the transfer of a data set from a factory
set coin selector to any electronic coin selector in the same series. In this way
identical programming may be duplicated for all units, as required, especially for
new currencies.

Calibration

Calibration Using wheasy 2
Under the Edit pull down menu is the function “Calibration”. Pressing the <F4> key
can also directly access this window. This will bring up the following window:
Figure 3 Window for selecting the coin channel to be calibrated.
Next, a coin channel to be calibrated is selected. The coin value and currency
code for the selected channel is displayed provided that it has been written to the
file as being programmed to that channel. This is shown next to the channel
number.
Note:
The coin description shown is taken from the loaded file for the
particular channel. Specifically, the correct description is shown only
if the correct file for the coin selector has also been loaded.
The calibration window is displayed only after a coin channel has been selected.
The calibration tolerance mode for the chosen channel is also shown, but this may
be changed at any time prior to pressing OK.
