PERATION
Exact change is required for a vend to initiate, this
machine does not make change. When a selection
button is pressed and the credits do not match the
vend price of that selection, inserted coins will be
returned and the display will show the vend price for
that selection. Inserted coins first pass through the
coin acceptor, are credited, and then held in a coin
cup. Not until the product has vended does the coin
cup deposit the coins in the coin box. If there is a fail-
ure of the drop shelf motor, the inserted coins will be
returned to the delivery tray. There will be 1 audible
beep for credited coins and 4 beeps for a vend cycle.
If a column is empty and the selection button is
pressed, the deposited money will be returned and the
display will show & .
Any time a selection button is pressed, with or without
credits, the display will show the vend price or sold
out if the column is empty. You can check the sold out
status by pressing the selection buttons at any time.

CCEPTORS
S LUGBUSTER – S INGLE C OIN
This acceptor sends 1 credit pulse to the LED dis-
play for every coin or token entered. The factory
setting is $0.25 for every credit. This can be
changed if quarters are not accepted. For instance,
if a token with $0.50 value is only to be accepted, then the base
coin credit value (the ‘A’ value) must be changed to 0.50. To
change this value, press and hold the MODE button
until the LED display reads . Now use the UP or
DOWN buttons to change. Press the MODE button to return
to the run mode.
If dollar coins are only to be accepted, then follow the same
steps and change the ‘A’ value to 1.00. Remember to insert a
sample coin into the coil of the Slugbuster.
MA-800 – M ULTI -C OIN
This acceptor will take up to 6 different coins,
or tokens, and the value of any coin can be pro-
grammed in. Quarters are pre-programmed in
switch #6 and dollar coins in #5. Refer to the
enclosed MA-800 instruction manual for programming instruc-
tions if tokens or any other coins are to be accepted.
When programming in any new coins, it is recommended to
remove the acceptor from the coin mechanism frame and drop
the 6 sample coins in by hand. Optimal programming will be
obtained by dropping the coins in the acceptor by hand rather
than by running the sample coins down the metal coin chute.
To remove the MA-800 acceptor from the coin mechanism
frame, loosen the 2 mounting screws on the front face of the
coin mechanism, unplug the white ribbon cable, then lift up the
coin mechanism to detach it. Remove the 1 screw holding the
MA800 in place and pull it out to begin the programming.
Do not unplug the MA-800 from the circuit board when
programming, as it needs power to operate.
M ICROCOIN QL – M ULTI -C OIN
This acceptor will take up to 12 different
coins, or tokens, and the value of any coin
can be programmed in. Quarters are pre-pro-
grammed in switch #10 and dollar coins are
in #11. Refer to the enclosed QL instruction manual for
programming instructions if tokens or any other coins are
to be accepted. Do not unplug the QL from the circuit
board when programming, as it needs power to operate.
