Hi all, I received my key, but sadly it does not fit into the switch.  It has 5101 on it and the lock says 5101 on it, so I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'm thinking it is time to do a work around.  I picked up a few switches from the local Fry's but have some general questions.


Is switch one that is spring loaded and returns to center once released or does it stay In position until manually turned back?


From the manual I can see that turning the key clockwise enters the operator mode, but I see no reference to turning the key counterclockwise.  What is the expected result of a counterclockwise key turn?


And now for the long shot, does anyone know which connections are made in each of the key positions?  Without a key to turn and test with I'm not sure how I need to connect my wires.

Hey Corey, sorry for stating the obvious but I guess I'm gonna.

Does the key fit the lock at all? My keys need to be rotated till the 2 barrels [for a better description] line up. Then my locks are spring activated where I need to apply pressure inward for the key to seat and turn.

The most mine turn are like a 1/4 turn or less to get onto the setup/operator menus.

If I remember right when I turn the key to the right I get to the menu screen. To get out of the screen I need to turn the key back to the left.

Maybe your switch is defective? That sucks man...

I lost a fortune, if you know what I mean
Those one armed bandits was the wrong thing to choose

Thank you.



Also, I don't object at all to statements that should be obvious.  My ability to face palm is quite strong, but as far as I can see this isn't one of those times.  It doesn't fit at all and the bumps on the lock don't line up with the key.

Ok I checked my machine an the key is like this.
Turn the top of the key counterclockwise to turn on the light for the meters.
Turn the key clockwise to get into the programming menu.
The key center on your lock is in the counterclockwise position and needs to be turned back to center as in the picture.

Corey,   that know as a "barrel Lock"   we had that problem all the time in the vending business.  we had two keys to resolve that problem and your problem.

you don't need a second key, you just have to be aware of your situation when you use the key.

the solution is simple, file off the outside guide, the only protruding metal on the outside, this will allow you to insert the key at the offset from 12 o'clock and operate the key lock. now you will be able to use the lock.

Hope this helps

 Proten, thank you so much for checking that out for me!  As it turns out the rewire may be postponed another day.


Jim, thank you as well! Filing down the key, did the trick as far as the lock mech goes.  I have a wire to resolder before I can test, but it's looking up!
