3. G AND DISABLING PARTICULAR COINS MODE 3 This mode is used to se the validator to either reject or accept a particular coin The coins are programmed in coin categories I to 12 and if you wish to enable or disable a coin we actually turn on or off the category the coin is programmed in rather than the actual coin Select Mode 3 Mode 3 light will illuminate and the display will show 0 Select the coin category to 12 by pressing the appropriate number buttons Press the EN button If is displayed this coin category is enabled For example it will accept valid coins If 0 is displayed the coin category is disabled and it will reject these coins If you do not wish to change the setting enter either 1 or 0 and press the EN key The Micromate will make the change and automatically exit the mode PROGRAMMING NEW COINS ORTOKENS MODE 6 With the Micromate you may program the validator for up to 12 different coins or tokens All you need is 10 representative coins from the denomination you wish to program There are a number of steps to take before you can program the coin You need to choose a spare coin category if you are not re programming a particular coin then assign a value to the coin Mode 5 and enable the coin Mode 3 Now you may proceed Select Mode 6 Mode 6 light will illuminate and the display will show 0 Enter the required coin category to 12 and press the EN
4. cept path Before exiting the validator the coin passes two sets of sensors These are used to detect any stringing attempts and to check that the coin has indeed left the validator If the S5 sees a stringing attempt it will immediately issue an alarm signal to your machine if a coin exits the unit the S5 will issue a credit pulse If the coin does not match the stored values the gate does not move and the coin is directed into the reject path You may use our Micromate programmer should you wish to customize the settings of the S5 The Micromate programmer is a portable unit specifically designed for this purpose 9 LUashTec USING THE MICROMATE HAND HELD PROGRAMMER About the Micromate The Micromate is an extremely useful tool that allows you the flexibility of setting up your validator to operate exactly how you wish It has a keyboard visual display and a connecting ribbon cable The Micromate operates in modes each mode access a particular parameter There are a total of eight modes available You receive a visual indication of the mode you are in by way of the row of lights situated above the keypad You select the desired mode by pushing the M button followed by the mode number A beep will be heard and the corresponding mode number light will become illuminated The EN key is used to enter changes you have made or to step through parameter settings There is a reference table on the back of the Mic

12. ter cancel excess credits or 0 to carry over excess credits and press EN j to The value will be changed and the Micromate will automatically exit the mode Coin Values Mode 5 When the S5 validator is programmed to accept coins or tokens these must be assigned a numerical value typically their face value to enable the price accumulator to work As a coin is validated its value is added to the accumulator and a credit pulse is issued when the accumulator credit threshold is reached Note Coins assigned a value of 0 will be accepted with no credit assignment The value of each coin category 1 12 can be assigned as follows Select Mode 5 Mode 5 light will be illuminated and the display will show 0 Enter the coin category required and press the EN key The current value for that particular coin will be displayed If no change is required press the EN key If the value is to be changed enter the new value and press the EN key The Micromate will make the change then automatically exit the mode Ass you can see the numerical value that is assigned to the coins determines how the price accumulator works For example if you had a coin valued at 100 units and the price accumulator was set at 50 this coin would cause two credit outputs If you had a coin valued at 10 units and the price accumulator was set at 50 you need to insert 5 coins to obtain one credit pulse 9 LUashTec ENABLIN
