    LOSSARY Glossary A range of acceptable measured values of one → coin type Acceptance band (with specific → coin properties) defined by an upper and lower limit value. Acceptance gate The acceptance gate diverts the inserted coins into the acceptance or return area of the coin validator. Accepted coin sensors The accepted coin sensors are positioned in front of the cash coin outlet of the coin validator and check whether accepted coins fall unhindered into the cash-box chute.
  • Page 49 LOSSARY Coin impulse number Every coin accepted by the coin validator passes on an impulse to the machine control system via the appropriate → coin signal line. An impulse tells the machine control system that a coin has been accepted. In principle, 255 impulses per coin can be assigned to the →...
