IDX’s MA850 SERIES of Hawk Xeptors will accept a mixture of 6 different coins and/or tokens types making it an international Xeptor. Standard features include higher security anti-stringing credit sense optics added, electronic size detection within 0.015” and patented electronic metal sensors to better distinguish between similar metals. The complete line of IDX multi-coin Xeptors® are field programmable for new coin types as well as changing the number of coin pulses per coin. Other high security features include IDX’s own processor circuit, a shielded relay with the universal relay wiring, power wires Yellow & Black and relay wires 2 Red w/Green tracer output signals for greater reliability and easy field connections. This “smart” Xeptor continues to update its memory on each coin as the Xeptor ages.
The newest standard feature in this series is the 2 YEAR WARRANTY that includes advanced replacement in the first year.

Eagle – X12 Xeptor – Download X12 Literature
IDX’s X12 series of multi-coin Xeptors® will accept a mixture of 6 different coins. This coin mixture can consist of any combination of currencies, tokens and X- Mark® or Smart Mark® encoded security tokens. The X12 Xeptor has internal programming to allow the operator the ability to program new coins, change the number of coin pulses per coin and field self-diagnostic information. Coin pulses are released through a shielded relay to offer the OEM an easier interface for multiple coin voltage requirements. Other coin outputs are available to meet the different demands of the OEMs. All models come standard with coin sense / anti-stringing optics for added security. This smart thinking Xeptor continues to update its memory on each coin as the Xeptor ages.
Digging coin jams out is a thing of the past. The built in coin release opens the chute to drop through bent and mutilated coins. Coin jams are also caused where bent faceplates are misaligned with the Xeptors faceplate to meter doors. This has been eliminated with the introduction of a new all stainless steel snap-in faceplate Model MA19 which relieves the strain from bent doors.

Xeptor Chart Notes:
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.
