Moving PE+Slant board to PE+ Upright?

<< < (2/3) > >>

OMG, I was getting a bit nervous about this issue, because I tried 7 different boards in that machine and same results, Only accepting $1 bills. I changed #10 dip switch on the Upright to match the slant tops and it Now accepts everything. TU All for your support. My final upgrade that I want to do, unless it’s something Not feasible, is to now move forward taking out the validator chassis and components and replace that old DBV junk with a WBA, UBA or MARS validator. I didn’t realize that I can substitute One of these devices and have more dependability. Are there any other options/changes that I’m going to come across when doing this?
Should I be starting a New post about this next step? Also I’ve read a few posts and they’re stating that ALL The dip switches should be in the ON mode. By doing that it’s setting the machine up for 50HZ. I’m Not agreeing with that statement.
I would Also like to confirm My math is correct. Setting the machine up for a quarter, and the Maximum allowed on the bill validator is $2500, I would enter 10,000 on the hopper?
There again, Should I be starting New posts or am I OK?

You might be a bit confused here.

The denomination your SET on the bill validator is the value that you need to add a credit.
Ie Set the Validator for 0.25 and insert a $1 - you get 4 credits.
Set the Validator for 0.01 and insert a $1 you get 100 credits.
Set the Validator for $5 and you need to insert 5 x $1 bills to get 1 credit
Set the Validator for $5 and insert a $20 you get 4 credits.....
Set the Validator for $2500 and you are putting in 25x$100 bills to get 1 credit.
** IF you have that much scratch laying around to play with this... Count me as suitably impressed.

On the other side of the system you have a Credit Limit, Hopper Limit and these are measured in coins (not value).
So if you were running the machine at $5 per credit ... then typically you would be using a large format coin comparitor CC-33 (not CC-16) and a $5 token .... leaving your hopper maximum at something reasonable like 400 would equate to $2000 worth of $5 tokens. The value for the hopper limit would still be 400.

Hoppers on a PE+ are pretty full at 800 coins.

You’re absolutely correct, I’m great at math but the way they word some stuff is confusing sometimes. like S2000’S. Enable/Disable a coinless machine. Why don’t they ask allow coins/token, Yes or No!!!
I’m trying to find the best board out of 14 here, They have some different games on them. I’m trying to condense 54 machines down to around 30 in my game room!!!
Any suggestions/thoughts/advice on the UBA swap. I have a bunch of them that have the latest version of US currency updates.
Thx for the help NLG members l

He has a flashed 200 in one and a 145 in the other.
You will get it reading more than the $1 but colored is out of the question.

I agree that the 145 is not going to read new money, but he was having an issue with the machine with the 200 in it that went from accepting lots of bills to only accepting $1 bills once the software on the processor board was changed.

The issue was the bill validator protocol on the 200 not being compatible with the different software being used in the machine.

Ok so I had it backwards then…
