Understanding Machine Operating Concepts - Standard Change-Makers BX Series Installation And Instruction Manual

4.0 UNDERSTANDING MACHINE OPERATING CONCEPTS

Changes to the feature settings should only be performed if the factory settings do not provide the
functionality required. It is important to understand a few basic concepts of the machine operation before
attempting to alter a feature setting. Or if you choose, we have created step by step procedures in Appendix
A in the back of this manual to simplify the programming sequence. You also may choose to call any of
our Factory Service centers and ask for assistance. You will find our Service Center locations and phone
numbers on the back page of this manual.

settings indicate the value of the dispenser. The value should be set for one ticket, token, coin or bill. See
the table below for the correct switch settings for each standard value. Note that in row one of the table,
the value is identified as "Programmed". This indicates that the dispenser value is stored in memory as
opposed to being shown on the DIP switch. This setting is only used if the item being dispensed is not the
equivalent of a standard coin value. Read the following sections for more information about the DIP
switches. The most common Value of coin dispenser is a quarter. This would be found in row 5 of the
table and it looks like this:
SW2-SW5 should always be set to reflect the correct dispenser value, and SW1 should always be
