Coin Test
The Coin Test sub-menu allows IPS maintenance staff to verify the validator is operating properly, and coins are validated correctly. The
two components in coin testing are:
l Coins = Shows the total coin count
l Value = Shows the value of the last coin inserted
When a coin is inserted into the SSPM, the Coins increases by one, and the Value shows the programmed value of that new coin. If a coin-
type is inserted into the SSPM, but is programmed / configured as "not acceptable" (e.g. the U.S. Penny), the Coins increases by one, but
the Value shows as a negative number.
If a coin is inserted but the Coins does not increase, there may be a fault with the meter and / or coin validator. If the Value shown for a spe-
cific coin is incorrect, the meter may not be programmed correctly.
Card Test
The Card Test sub-menu allows IPS maintenance staff to verify the card reader is operating properly. During a card test, quickly insert and
remove a valid credit card. The LCD shows the card type, card number, and expiration date. If this information is not displayed, the card
reader may be damaged or malfunctioning.
