Coin Acceptors (cont.)
Inductive Metal Sensor Tests (rotary switch #E, #F): Turn
the rotary switch to positions #E and #F to test the
inductive sensor. Normal LED color is green. A red color
most often indicates either there is metal in front of the
inductive sensors or that the flat cable going to the small
sensor housing has been unplugged.
Diameter Optics Sensor Tests (rotary switch #B, #C,
#D): Turn the rotary switch to positions #B, #C, and #D
to test each of the three diameter through-beam optical
sensors. Normal LED color is green. A red or orange
color most likely indicated either there is an object or
dirt blocking one of these three sensors and cleaning of
the coin cute is required, or that the flat cable going to
the small sensor housing has been unplugged.
X-Mark Code Optics Sensor Calibration (rotary switch
#9, #A ): Fold a piece of white paper twice (to 4
thicknesses) and insert it into the center of the coin
chute. Turn the rotary switch to position #9 (rear side
optics) and press the test button. The unit will use
information gathered to calibrate the sensitivity of its
reflective sensors for reading the X-Mark optical code
on tokens. The LED should be an orange color after
calibration. Repeat for switch position #A (front side
optics). When you remove the paper, the LED should
be green in both of the switch positions.
Credit Sensor Test (rotary switch #8): The credit optics
(if installed) are located just above and below the gate
relay rake. If they are not installed the LED will flash
amber to indicate that the credit optics were not detected
at power-up. If they are installed, the LED is normally
green for proper function, and will become orange to
red as they become blocked by dirt or other obstructions.
Memory Test (rotary switch #7): Turn the rotary switch
to positions #7 to test the validity of memory. Normal
LED color is green. A red color indicates that memory is
corrupted. It may be possible to correct this by relearning
the coins. If not, the memory chip
is defective.
Auto Reporting
The Xeptors will not “speak unless spoken to” except
when a coin has been deposited. The Xeptor will
automatically report the disposition and sensor readings
taken from each coin when the analysis is complete and
the SENSE pulse has been issued. If internal credit optics
are installed, a subsequent report on slow or reverse coins
may additionally occur. The auto report message consists
of 6 data bytes in ASCII Hex format.
Report Command
The “R” REPORT command produces a list of all the
critical operational parameters of the Xeptor (see
example following). In the first line, the software version
is identified and the ID# of the unit is reported. The next
eight lines report the detail contents of each of the six
coin memories. The bits of the options byte are defined
in the following table:

Note: The internal sequence for parameter checking is 1.) diameter,
2.) code, 3.) edge metal-S, 4.) edge metal-A, 5.) center metal.
Coin memory is checked in the order of 1-6 for a match.
Auto report from a coin matching coin memory #3.
The coin has the same edge and center metal, a
diameter of 1.464” and an X-Mark code of 03.
