Coin Acceptor - Programmable (3 coin types)

Are you looking to earn some quick cash from electronics? Why stick to just one type of coin? This amazing coin acceptor can handle three different coin types! Whether you're constructing your own arcade cabinet or charging an entrance fee to your place, this programmable coin acceptor simplifies the process of monetizing your next project. The sensors in this coin acceptor identify coins by their thickness, diameter, and fall time. It's fully programmable, so you're not restricted to any specific currency. Just use the buttons and 7 - segment display on the side of the unit to select a coin profile. Then, insert a bunch of coin samples (or the same one multiple times), and you're all set! After programming the coin profiles, the acceptor will recognize them, accept the right coins, and reject others. Building your own vending machines might not make you a millionaire, but using different - sized tokens for access control could be really cool. You could even create a virtual vending machine to buy MMORPG items. There are countless exciting coin - operated projects waiting to be built! Documents: Datasheet. Replaces: COM - 11635

Using this coin acceptor is a breeze. First, decide which three coin types you want it to accept. Then, use the buttons and 7 - segment display on the side of the unit to pick a coin profile. Next, insert a bunch of samples of that coin type. You can insert the same coin multiple times if you don't have a lot of different ones. Once you've programmed all three coin profiles, the acceptor will start recognizing the right coins and rejecting the wrong ones. When using it, make sure the coins you insert are clean and not damaged, as dirty or damaged coins might not be recognized correctly. For maintenance, keep the coin acceptor in a dry and clean place. Every once in a while, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the outside of the unit. If you have any issues with the coin acceptor not recognizing coins, double - check that you've programmed the coin profiles correctly. And that's it! Enjoy using your coin acceptor for all your awesome projects.
