Features
(X-10, MA-800, MA-820) |
|
Physical Size |
IDX coin acceptors have the industry standard 3.5" wide and 4.0" tall
dimensions with three shoulder screw locations on each side. See
dimensional drawings for details. Note
that the X-50 and X-70 units have a separate electronics control
module not shown above. |
|
Electrical Interface |
Each IDX coin acceptors has an 8 pin header which connects to one of
many Personality Plugs which adapt it to
all popular connector types used in the industry. |
|
Coin Memory |
IDX coin acceptors do not hold a physical sample coin, but rather
learn and hold the electronic coin signature for as many as 6
different coins or tokens. |
|
Center & Edge Metal |
IDX coin acceptors have a unique coin centering coin chute and small
metal alloy sensors which enable them to separately measure the alloy
on both the edge and center of bi-metal coins. |
|
Credit Optics Option |
All IDX coin acceptors can be optionally ordered with or without built
in credit optics used to verify that the coin has passed the gate
relay in the proper direction and speed. |
|
Coin Programming |
All IDX coin acceptors may be programmed by hand using a
procedure for dropping sample coins through
the unit. Xeptors with version 4.0 and later firmware can be
programmed at the touch of a button using a hand held Coin Selector
device. |
|
Hinged Opening |
The hinged opening door-like construction of
all IDX coin acceptors allows for easy release of bent or shingled
coins without the worry that someone will do damage with a
screwdriver. |
|
Built In Diagnostics |
In order to quickly diagnose possible
causes for operational trouble, one only needs to turn the built-in
rotary switch and observe an LED to check the operation of each part
of the unit. |
|
Auto Tune Technology |
Long term stability of acceptance is assured via firmware that
automatically compensates for component age,
temperature effects, and other physical configuration changes. |
|
Notes For
Selection Table Information |
| Clad Coin Alloy
Sense |
Clad coins have an inner alloy clad
by a distinctly different outer alloy on some security tokens and some
government issued currency. Some IDX Xeptors have advanced non-contact
inductive sensing circuitry that can actually read the center layer
separately from the outer layer. |
| Optical Code Read |
IDX holds patents covering the
X-Mark and SmartMark "minted facet" technology
and the new H-Mark "holographic facet"
technology, each of which add security against cross play and
counterfeiting. X-Mark and H-Mark tokens are produced under license by
Osborne Coinage, and SmartMark tokens
are produced under license by Roger Williams Mint. |
| Diameter Accuracy |
The diameter accuracy quoted is
based on the statistical standard deviation in the measurement of a
large number of coins. (This pretty much means the average error.) The
cut-off point for acceptance/rejection is typically approximately 3
times the standard deviation value in the table. |
| Coins Per Second |
This is the rate for rejecting a bad
coin among a stream of otherwise good coins. The rate for acceptance
of a stream of 100% good coins is approximately 33% higher. The quoted
rate is based on coins in the mid range of diameters the unit accepts.
The rate is generally a bit higher for smaller coins and a bit lower
for larger coins. |
