NOTE: Any time the Currency Symbol menu is accessed, the Phase 7 dual microprocessor controller (DMC) computer will clear any credit available on the Phase 7 DMC (computer) and will also reset the coin vault total.
SELECT VENDING MODE
The Vending Mode determines how the Phase 7 DMC (computer) will vend time to a customer when a coin is inserted into the dryer. The Phase 7 DMC (computer) uses this parameter to determine whether the Phase 7 DMC (computer) is in Accumulative Time or Accumulative Coin Mode. Depending on which mode the Phase 7 DMC (computer) is in, it will use a combination of the following program locations to determine how much time will be vended to the customer.
PL #03, PL #04, PL #05 – TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START
PL #06 – LEFT COIN DENOMINATION
PL #06 – RIGHT COIN DENOMINATION
PL #06 – AMOUNT TO START
PL #06 – AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF
ACCUMULATIVE TIME
In Accumulative Time Mode, after the initial AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) has been met, each additional coin afterward will have a specific value in time, which is determined by TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #03, PL #04, or PL #05) and AMOUNT TO START (PL #06).
Single Coin Acceptor
Example No. 1: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) is 25¢, the HI key TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #03) is 30 minutes. Each coin entered into the dryer will yield 30 minutes.
Settings: PL #06 (LEFT COIN DENOMINATION) | 25 |
PL #03 (TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START) | 30 |
PL #06 (AMOUNT TO START) | 25 |
Formula: (LEFT COIN DENOMINATION [PL #06] / AMOUNT TO START [PL #06]) (TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START [PL #03]) = Vended Time (25¢/25¢)(30) = 30 minutes
Example No. 2: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) is 50¢, the MED key TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #04) is 30 minutes. The insertion of the first two (2) coins into the dryer will yield 30 minutes; each additional coin entered into the dryer will yield 15 minutes.
Settings: PL #06 (LEFT COIN DENOMINATION) | 25 |
PL #04 (TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START) | 30 |
PL #06 (AMOUNT TO START) | 50 |
Formula: (LEFT COIN DENOMINATION [PL #06] / AMOUNT TO START [PL #06]) (TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START [PL # 04]) = Vended Time (50¢/50¢)(30) = 30 minutes
(25¢/50¢)(30) = 15 minutes
