used with the following bill acceptors: Coinco Mag50B, BA30, BA50

used with the following bill acceptors: MATRIX, SLEC-01, SLEC-02, VS2C, VS2CK, APEX

used with the Microcoin QL, SLEC-01, SLEC-02, VS2C, VS2CK, Mag50B (and many others). These notes also apply to the MATRIX  Validator  (USB version)

This interface has the advantage of using a USB port instead of serial port.

Hardware Configuration

You need to connect the USB connector on the HW200 (black box) to a USB port.  You should have the required cable in your kit. You need to supply 120 V AC to the Coinco version, and 12 V DC to the HW200.  For the 12 V DC version, you should have received a cable that allows you to get power from the PC's power supply. Finally you need to connect the coin acceptor to the HW200 with the flat ribbon cable. 

Software Configuration

To setup the software, you need to run setkiosk.exe and do the following:

• Go to the Payment tab

• Specify HW200 as the type of acceptor

• Specify the type - Parallel, Serial, or Pulses. For the Microcoin QL, select Parallel. For the Mag50B select "Pulse", and for SLEC-01, SLEC-02, VS2CK, and VS2C, select "Serial".

• Enter the amounts corresponding to the denominations. You first need to figure out which denomination goes with each box. The best way to do that is to enter amounts 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc... in the first 16 boxes, save it, then run i-table.exe.   Insert different coins/bills one by one and the amount registered will tell you which boxes correspond to which denominations.

used with the Microcoin QL

This interface is used with the Microcoin QL. It is less expensive than the TL card and does not require a ISA slot.

Hardware Configuration

You need to connect the DB 9 connector on the MF-100 (black box) to a serial port.  You should have the required cable in your kit. You need to supply 12 DC to the MF-100.  You should have received a cable that allows you to get power from the PC's power supply. Finally you need to connect the coin acceptor to the MF-100 with the flat ribbon cable. 

Software Configuration

To setup the software, you need to run setkiosk.exe and do the following:

• Go to the Payment tab

• Specify MF100 as the type of acceptor

• Specify the COM port to which it is connected.

• Enter the amounts corresponding to the denominations. You first need to figure out which denomination goes with each box. The best way to do that is to enter amounts 1,2,3,4,5,6 in the first 6 boxes, save it, then run i-table.exe.   Insert different coins one by one and the amount registered will tell you which boxes correspond to which denominations.

This interface is used primarily for the Microcoin S5 and the new Microcoin QL. If you use both a coin acceptor and a bill acceptor, the bill acceptor (SLEC-01, SLEC-02, VS2C, VS2CK) can also be connected to the same card and therefore use only one serial port for both.   The TL interface is not usually used when using a bill acceptor alone since the GBA RS232 interface is less expensive and offers more features.

Hardware Configuration

This interface comes as an ISA card which you need to insert in an ISA slot inside the PC. The kit should include a cable that connects the coin acceptor to the TL card using the connector beside the 9 pin connector. It should also include a cable that will connect the 9 pin connector on the TL card to a serial port.

If you are connecting a bill acceptor to the TL card, your kit should include a cable to connect the bill acceptor to the TL card (the connector on the TL is the one on the card itself (not the one beside the 9 pin connector).

The coin acceptor and the bill acceptor are powered directly from the TL card and therefore no external power supply is required.

Software Configuration

To setup the software, you need to run setkiosk.exe and do the following:

• Go to the Payment tab

• Specify TL 4/6/8 as the type of acceptor

• Specify the COM port to which the TL card is connected

• Enter the amounts corresponding to the denominations. For the Microcoin coin acceptor, use the first 6 boxes. The last 4 are used for the bill acceptor. You   need to figure out which denomination goes with each box. The best way to do that is to enter amounts 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10  in the 10 boxes, save it, then run i-table.exe.  Insert different bills one by one and the amount registered will tell you which boxes correspond to which denominations.

This interface is used primarily with the Cashflow 330 coin acceptor. It can also support a bill acceptor such as SLEC-01, SLEC-02, VS2C, VS2CK and Mars. It has also been used with the Microcoin S5. This interface does not require an ISA slot.

Hardware Configuration

You need to connect the DB 9 connector on the ARB-C06 (white box) to a serial port.  You should have the required cable in your kit. You need to supply 12 DC to the ARB-C06 (positive in the middle). Finally you need to connect the coin acceptor to the ARB-C06. On the Cashflow 330, use the connector on the bottom left.

Software Configuration

To setup the software, you need to run setkiosk.exe and do the following:

• Go to the Payment tab

• Specify ARB-C06 as the type of acceptor

• Specify the COM port to which it is connected.

• Enter the amounts corresponding to the denominations. You first need to figure out which denomination goes with each box. The best way to do that is to enter amounts 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 8, 9, 10 in the first 10 boxes, save it, then run i-table.exe.   Insert different coins/bills one by one and the amount registered will tell you which boxes correspond to which denominations.

When using this interface, i-table!® will query the ARB-C06 status twice per second to see if a payment was made. If the ARB-C06 is not queried, it will disable the coin acceptor and the bill acceptor.
