MEGATOUCH XL SETUP

COIN/CREDIT SETUP

To Enter This Screen, Touch “Coin-In Menu” In The Setup Screen

Figure 3 - Coin-In Menu Screen

The coin/credit ratios of the game may be adjusted to meet any application. The CPU board supports up to four coin

inputs, mechanical or electronic. (Electronic coin mechs are typically used when more than one type of coin needs to

be accepted. If you would like to convert your game from a mechanical mech to an electronic mech, please contact

your distributor or Merit Technical Support for wiring details.)

The coin/credit ratios can be adjusted by touching the screen at the location you want to change. The meter pulse can

also be adjusted so that the coin meter can show the actual cash value of the coins in the cashbox, not just the total

number of coins.

Example: Let’s say that in the country of Atlantis the currency is called units. Atlantis, however, has a 1 unit coin, a 2

unit coin and a 5 unit coin. You decide that 1 credit on the game should cost 1 unit. However, to encourage more play

you want to give 6 credits for a 5 unit coin. The coin setup screen would be programmed as follows:

COIN INPUT COINS = CREDITS & METER PULSES

1E111

2E122

3E165

4E111

For every 1 unit coin, the game would give 1 credit and count 1 pulse on the mechanical coin counter. For every 2 unit

coin, the game would give 2 credits and count 2 pulses on the mechanical meter. For every 5 unit coin, the game would

give 6 credits and pulse the mechanical meter 5 times. The mechanical meter will now display the total number of

“units” in the cashbox, not total coins or credits. Press “DEFAULT” to return to the factory settings. Press “EXIT” to

return to the GAME SETUP menu.

Any unused coin inputs must be set to the same settings as the LOWEST of the used inputs for the credit algorithm to

work properly. See COIN INPUT 4E for an example.
