Confi guration ASH ACCEPTANCE Cash acceptance This chapter describes how to adapt the acceptance of coins (and banknotes) to the machine environment: • Limiting acceptance of coins and banknotes (only c BDV/Executive) • Limiting acceptance of tube coins (fi lling level limitation) •...
Confi guration ASH ACCEPTANCE Limiting acceptance of coins and banknotes (only c BDV/Executive) In order to prevent the vending machine from being used as a money changer, you can set a maximum amount of money which may be accepted during a single vending operation (acceptance limitation). If this amount is reached or exceeded, the acceptance of coins and bills is inhibited.
Confi guration ASH ACCEPTANCE Limiting acceptance of tube coins (fi lling level limitation) The changer can be confi gured so that each change tube accepts no more than a specifi c number of coins. When this number of coins is reached in a tube, all further coins for this tube are then directed into the cash-box temporarily.
Confi guration ASH ACCEPTANCE Inhibiting coins If you want certain coins to be no longer accepted for payment at the machine, you may inhibit these coins (temporarily). The coin changer stores the coins 1–16 in ascending coin value order, i.e. "coin 01" is always the lowest-value and "coin 16" always the highest-value coin programmed.
Confi guration ASH ACCEPTANCE Inhibiting high-value coins if there is not enough change (only c BDV/Executive) If you want high-value coins to be no longer accepted whenever the machine displays "tube empty" (see section "Confi guring conditions for tube empty message (only c BDV/Executive)"...
Confi guration ASH ACCEPTANCE Optimising acceptance of genuine coins/rejection of fraud coins (defi ning acceptance tolerances) For the acceptance of (high-value) coins programmed the coin changer is capable of having up to three acceptance bands with different acceptance tolerances. In order that genuine coins are always accepted and fraud coins rejected reliably you may assign a "normal", "narrow"...
Confi guration ASH ACCEPTANCE Selecting coin group A or B The coins porgrammed in the coin changer may have been assigned to two coin groups A or B at the manufacturer, e.g., to differentiate between two currencies (1 currency = coin goup A, 2 currency = coin group B).

Confi guration HANGE PAYOUT Reporting more than 255 coins of the same payout denomination to VMC (only c MDB) If you want the coin changer to collect more than 255 coins of the same payout denomination in several tubes of the coin cassette, the MDB protocol would report not more than 255 coins as a standard.
Confi guration HANGE PAYOUT Limiting change return (only c BDV/Executive) You have the possibility to defi ne a maximum residual amount that the changer is supposed to pay out to the customer at most. The customer must then purchase enough during one vending operation so that the residual credit is less than the set change limitation.
Confi guration HANGE PAYOUT Confi guring conditions for tube empty message The lowest fi lling level sensor (empty sensor) signals that a tube is empty. When you want the vending machine to display "tube empty", i.e. which tube(s) is/are to be empty, in order that the empty message is displayed, you may specify depending on the tube coins.

If a coin type is frequently paid out as change, and the respective tube is often empty, you can use an NRI hopper interface to connect up to four hoppers to the coin changer from which the vending machine can pay out coins on an alternative basis.

Confi guration ERIPHERAL Recycler settings If you want the vending machine to pay out banknotes as change, you may use the recycler interface to connect a recycler (banknote payout unit) to the coin changer from which the vending machine can pay out banknotes instead of coins.

Confi guration ERIPHERAL Inhibiting high-value banknotes depending on change stock (only c MDB) If a CashCode recycler is conntected to an MDB coin changer, you can inhibit the acceptance of high-value banknotes if there is not enough change. I.e. before each sale the coin changer decides which banknote can be accepted and which cannot be accepted, depending on the current change stock in the coin cassette and recycler.
Confi guration ERIPHERAL Paying out all banknotes (compensating the machine‘s security stock) (only c MDB) Some vending machines (particularly in the USA) keep a security stock of coins in the tubes. As the machine handles banknotes available for payout like tube coins not all of the banknotes can be payed out as change. If you want the vending machine to pay out all banknotes you can compensate the security stock.
Confi guration ERIPHERAL Bill validator settings (only c BDV/Executive) You may connect an MDB bill validator to the coin changer. Please consider the following coin changer settings for communication between both devices: • Communication set-up • No acceptance of banknotes when machine displays "Tube empty" •...
Confi guration ERIPHERAL Inhibiting/releasing banknote acceptance depending on change stock or card payments • Inhibiting banknote acceptance if machine displays "Tube empty": If the coin cassette has a shortage of change and the machine displays "Tube empty" (depending on conditions set), the bill validator can be blocked automatically.
