or
–
The float level is reached.

Inhibiting Coin Types Using DIP
Switch Block Settings
By setting various switches on the DIP Switch
Block located on the rear Coin Validator’s circuit
board, it is possible to inhibit configured coin types
related to the first eight memory slots (coin chan-
nels) of the Coin Changer without using the add-
itional configuration tools available. For details on
which coin type has been programmed for each
coin channel, please contact your JCM represent-
ative, or connect the Coin Validator to the Palm
Pilot
®
using PalmA66
®
and/
or PalmEMP
®
soft-
ware (see section 11 "Configuration").
To inhibit a specific coin type:
1. Remove the Coin Validator from the Coin
Changer assembly by carefully lifting the left
and right side catches and gently pulling for-
ward as indicated by the arrows illustrated in
Figure 7-1 .
2. Set the related DIP Switches (1 through 8) to
their correct position (ON) using a scribe,
small screw driver or an opened paper clip
(See Figure 7-2 ).
The assigned coin types will no longer be
accepted, and will now be directed to the
return area tray.
3. Reinstall the Coin Validator and activate it.
If no coins are inserted in a 30 second
time period, the Coin Changer will
automatically return to the operating
mode, without having to press the Plus
key a second time.

With the aid of the configuration tools, the
possibility to inhibit any or all of the
pre-programmed coin types also exists
(see section 11 "Configuration").
