being refilled, rather than from the stored number of coins set in the register (see section 11 "Config- uration").

Individual Wake-up Time Consider- ations

For battery operated Coin Changers with an exter- nal wake-up line, a specific time period can be set that specifies how long the Coin Changer remains ON after the last Vending Machine poll (wake-up time) (see section 11 "Configuration").

When the wake-up time has elapsed, the Coin Changer automatically switches itself OFF and must be re-initialized again by the Vending Machine control system activating the external wake-up line.

Accepting and Converting a Sec- ond Currency Type (optional)

If the Coin Changer needs to accept two currency types, the second currency value can be converted to the main currency value using a set rate.

The second currency value is rounded up or down respectively in such a way that it can be managed

by the main currency counter. Chapter 11 "Config- uration" describes which configuration tool is used to program a second currency.

Minimizing String Manipulation (optional)

The Coin Changer can be optionally equipped with a String Sensor. This device recognizes coins inserted into the device connected to a string and inhibits this type of coin from being accepted. By recognizing this security condition these coin types will not generate a credit value.

The sensitivity of the String Sensor can be individ- ually set for each unit (see section 11 "Configura- tion").

Following a string manipulation attempt it is possi- ble to reject the next 100 tube coins inserted by directing them to the Cash Box instead of into the coin tubes. Coins directed to the Cash Box are less prone to manipulation, so further attempts at string manipulation will obviously fail (see section 11 "Configuration").
