Configuration 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 (filling level limitation) •...
Configuration 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.
Configuration ash accepTance Limiting acceptance of tube coins (filling level limitation) The changer can be configured so that each change tube accepts no more than a specific 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.
Configuration 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.

Configuration 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.
Configuration 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.
Configuration 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 (only c BDV/Executive) • No acceptance of banknotes when machine displays "Tube empty" (only c BDV/Executive) •...
Configuration 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.
Configuration eripheral Card reader settings (only c BDV/Executive) This section describes how to • set up communication between coin changer and MDB/BDV card reader • activate a second price list for card payments • limit card charging • reinitialise the card reader after a sale Setting up communication with MDB/BDV card reader The following card systems may be connected to the coin changer: •...
Configuration eripheral Activating second price list for card transactions You can divide the up to 100 prices into 2 x 50 prices. The first price list (prices 1–50) is valid without any card inserted (for cash sales), and the second price list (prices 51–100) is valid with a card inserted (for card payment).
Configuration eripheral Limiting debit card recharging (only for BDV/MDB card readers) In case a BDV or MDB card system is connected to the coin changer, you may define a maximum credit with which debit cards can be charged. If you do no longer want the customers to credit their debit cards, you can configure a credit of 099.00.
Configuration eripheral Reinitialising card reader after each transaction Perhaps some of the older card systems have to be reinitialised after each transaction. To activate/deactivate the function "Reinitialise card reader after each transaction": Quick approach: = Main menu > E = Settings > Operating modes > Selling mode > CPC new start after vend Press key ...
Configuration eripheral Setting up communication with external audit unit (only c BDV/Executive) If there is an external machine audit unit connected, the only thing to do is to set up communication with the coin changer.
