5.8.4 Escrow Control
The [Product Name] has a single note escrow facility. This allows the [Product
Name] to hold onto the note once validated, and then only stack the note into a
cashbox when the host machine confirms that the Vend operation has been
completed. Please refer to 11.8 for further details.
5.8.5 Busy Control
5.8.6 Low Power Mode
The Low Power Mode can be used to reduce the power consumption of the BV20
when idle. When the Low Power Mode option is set, the BV20 goes into the Low
Power Mode after about 6 seconds after the BV20 is powered up and remains in this
state until a note is entered. Following a note insertion, the BV20 returns to Low
Power Mode approximately 1 second after a credit is given or note is rejected.
Please refer to 11.9 for timing diagram and further details.
Caution!
In Low Power Mode the front
sensor is checked every second
which can lead to a delay in
accepting the note when it is
presented!
Caution!
Configuration button functions are
only available during power up
before the [Product Name] goes
into Low Power Mode!
5.8.7 Credit Hold Function
If this function is enabled the BV20 will take the notes as normal but then wait until
the escrow line is toggled low/high before it will then give out the pulses per
denomination as set. After the pulses have been given, the BV20 will wait for
another low/high toggle until the full value of credit pulses are given.
For example, with a setting of 2 pulses per dollar, a five dollar bill will give 2 pulses
5 times.
A Typical use of this option would be for a Pool table with a game price of $1. You
could insert a $5 note and press a button that toggles the escrow line and releases
the pool balls, this would then allow you to play the first game. The Validator holds
onto the remaining credits until the game has finished and the button is pressed
again allowing the next game to begin, this continues until all the credits have been
used.
