The relative value of all the coins for the coin mechanism
has now been established.
Next, determine if there is a
minimum amount to be entered before giving any credits.
For example, the machine can be set to give 3 credits for
50 cents, but no credits until at least 50 cents has been
entered. If there is no minimum required, set Function 15
to a value 00. If there is a minimum,
divide it by the
same divider used to reduce the coin values. For example,
in the 5, 10, 25 machine, the divider is 5. If a minimum
of 50 cents has to be entered before giving any credits,
divide 50 by 5 to get an answer of 10. This will be the
value entered on the data switch for function 15. In the
twin quarter chute, the divider was 25. When 25 is divided
into 50 cents minimum,
the answer is 2 so 02 would be
the value entered for function 15. For the 10, 10, 25
mechanism,
the divider was 5. When 5 is divided into 50
cent minimum, the answer is 10 so the value 10 is entered
for Function 15. Any minimum can be established in this
manner, so long as the divider used to reduce the coin
values goes into the minimum with a remainder of zero.
A minimum of 65 cents could not be entered for a 25
cent machine, but could be entered for a 5, 10, 25 cent
machine if desired.
The next function to be determined is the number of
credits to be given for coins. Again, the values entered in
Functions 12, 13, and 14 are used as a guideline.
Each
coin dropped through the coin chute will award the num-
ber of units as set by Functions 12, 13, and 14. If, for
example, one credit is to be given for each 25 cents de-
posited in a 5, 10, 25 machine, the number 05 would be
entered as data for function 17. Depositing 54: gives 1 unit
104:2 units, and 254:, 5 units. Any combination of nickels
and dimes would award I credit, as would 25 cent pieces.
If one credit is to be given for each 50 cents worth of
coins deposited in a 5, 10, 25 machine,
a value of 10
would be entered as data for function 17.
For the twin chute 25 cent machines, if 2 quarters were
required to award 1 credit, a 02 would be entered for
data for function 17. If 25 cents awarded 1 credit, a 01
would be entered for data for function 17. To easily
determine the data, use the value entered for the lowest
coin value and determine how many many lowest value
coins must be deposited to award a single credit. Use this
number for function 17. (Sample settings are given at the
end of this section)
The last function that needs to be determined is the num-
ber of bonus credits given for coins (if any). Bonus credits
is Function 16 and can be disabled by entering a vaue of
00.
To determine the bonus credit value, use the value en-
tered for Function 17 as follows:
To award a bonus
credit for every 2 credit worth of coins, enter double the
value of function 17 as the data in function 16. For
example, twin quarter chutes: 1 play 25 cents, 3 plays 50
cents. Function 17 would be a 01, so set Function 16 as
twice 01, or 02. To award a bonus credit for every 3
credits worth of coins, enter triple the value of function
17 as the data for function 16. For the example cited
above, 03 would be entered so that for every 75 cents an
extra credit would be given.
