the token payout per one-dollar bill (‘$1 L’) and
change given (‘$1 R’). This is followed by the
token and change payout per $2 bill (if enabled),
and so on up through the payouts per $100 bill.
Note: The ‘Payout’ numbers override the ‘Token’
and ‘Change’ value settings, so be sure to
correctly enter how many of each you want the
changer to dispense per denomination.
Example: To dispense two-dollar tokens and
give some change in quarters for every bill
accepted, set Token L = $2.00, Change R =
$0.25, $2 L = 1, $2 R = 0, $5 L = 2, $5 R =
4, $10 L = 4, $10 R = 8, $20 L = 9, $20 R =
8, etc….
Once the payouts have been set, always run
tests to be sure they are correct and how you
want them before final installation of the
changer. The settings can be programmed and
reprogrammed as much as needed, and can be
changed at any time to meet your requirements.
HOPPER SETUP
HARDWARE: HOPPERS:
The changer will arrive from the factory with this
information already programmed, so this menu
will only be needed if changes are to be made. To
access the ‘Hoppers’ menu, first enter the
‘Hardware’ menu by highlighting it with the
cursor, and pressing Select; it is the first
submenu. Use this menu to tell the Logic Board
what types of hopper(s) are installed inside the
changer.
ccTalk:
Select this option if using one or more
hoppers with a ccTalk serial interface to the Main
Logic Board (MLB). Once selected, enter the
number of ccTalk hoppers, one or two, to be used
in the changer. Note: Each Logic Board has the
capacity to control two ccTalk hoppers, left and
right, but if only one is used, it must be plugged
into the left-side connector (see Fig. 1 for the
ccTalk device connections on the MLB). Further
Note: If your model changer has two Logic
Boards and two hoppers, then only one hopper
will be controlled by each board; select ‘1’ as the
number of ccTalk hoppers on both boards.
Compact:
Highlight and Select this option if the
machine has a Compact Hopper installed (see
Fig. 1 for the compact hopper connection on the
MLB).
COIN ACCEPTOR SETUP
HARDWARE: COINACC:
If the changer came from the factory with a coin
acceptor already installed, this information will
be preprogrammed into the MLB, so this menu
will only be needed if changes are to be made.
The second submenu inside the ‘Hardware’ menu
is the Coin Acceptor setup menu (‘CoinAcc’).
Similar to the ‘Hoppers’ menu, this menu is used
to configure the Logic Board for the use of a coin
acceptor.
ccTalk:
This option should be selected if the
installed coin acceptor communicates with the
Main Logic Board using ccTalk serial
communication protocol (see Fig. 1 for the ccTalk
device connections on the MLB; contact the coin
acceptor’s manufacturer or American Changer if
help is needed). After choosing ccTalk, the
program prompts for specification of the
currency type that will be processed by the coin
acceptor. Choose either US or Canadian coins.
Pulse:
If the installed coin acceptor
communicates with the Logic Board using pulse
protocol, select ‘Pulse’ (the Condor Plus
uses
Pulse communication). Following this, the
program will request specification of the logic
level used to enable the coin acceptor, high (Hi)
or low (Lo) (for the Condor Plus
, select high).
Note: the Logic Board can only control one pulse
device, so if a pulse validator is installed, a pulse
coin acceptor cannot be (see Fig. 1 for the pulse
device connection on the MLB).
None!:
Select this option only if the changer is
not equipped with a coin acceptor.
VALIDATOR SETUP
HARDWARE: VALIDATOR:
The changer will arrive from the factory with this
information already programmed, so this menu
will only be needed if changes are to be made.
Setup of the validator(s) is done using the third
submenu, ‘Valid.’ inside the ‘Hardware’ menu.
The Main Logic Board can control up to two
validators, but only one of each type. The two
types are distinguished by their use of either
MDB or pulse communication protocols to
communicate with the MLB. The settings in this
submenu tell the Logic Board how many of each
type of validator, if any, are installed in the
changer.
MDB:
Select ‘MDB’, and then enter how many
MDB validators are installed in the changer,
either one (1) or zero (None!) (see Fig. 1 for the
MDB validator connection on the Main Logic
Board)
Pulse:
Select ‘Pulse’, and then choose either one
(1) or zero (None!) to specify the number of
