JPM Aracadia (Coin Problems)
Posted: Mon May 22, 2006 5:08 pm
Hi All
Aquired this machine recently but never really managed to get coins working properly.
It has a MEI Cashflow 126 coin mechanism.
When you put in £1 coins it rejects them and the green LED flashes 4 times (coin inhibited by validator or machine)
If I put a 10p or 20p in an alarm goes off and the error code 10-2 is dispalyed (ME129 more than 1 line high! what the hell does that mean?) though it does sort the coin correctly)
A few other questions, I think the mech has been fiddled with previously, there are 2 plugs that come of the main white machine interface connector, one green labelled C435, and one black labbeled MARS, they will both fit into the route inhibit connector plug, but I'm not sure which one (if either) should be plugged in.
Not sure if it is set up correctly or not, it has the following at present
routing plug
Pins 1 & 13 connected by a diode (plus to pin 1)
Pins 2 & 22 connected by a diode (plus to pin 2)
Pins 14 & 20 by a link
Rotary switch set to F
All 4 DIPS set to "ON"
I'm not really sure what is at fault, the coin-mech, the sorter or the motherboard and don't really no where to start.
Any help greatfully received
