The CONLUX CV1000 is a bill validator designed for use in various machines, primarily for vending and similar applications. It is capable of accepting multiple denominations of currency, as well as specific coupons.

Function Description

The primary function of the CV1000 is to validate and accept banknotes, converting them into credit for a machine. It is preconfigured during manufacture to accept U.S. $1.00 bills but can be manually configured to accept other denominations and specific coupons. The device uses an LED Status light to provide diagnostic information about its operational state and any potential issues.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Accepted Currency: U.S. $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills.
  • Accepted Coupons: Conlux Free vend, Conlux Value vend, Conlux low cost Free vend coupons, Pepsi coupons, and Aramark $1.00 coupons.
  • Mounting: Designed for ease of mounting onto existing studs provided by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Some machines may require additional brackets or faceplates.
  • Configuration: Can be configured using an option coupon or by inserting a bill of the desired denomination. Configuration settings are retained in memory even without power.
  • Diagnostic Indicator: Status LED for operational feedback.
  • Technical Support: 1-800-345-8172 (MEI).
  • Manufacturer: MEI (Suite 200, 3222 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Pa. 19355).
  • Part Number: P/N 252657005.
  • Copyright: © MEI 2012.

Usage Features

  • Bill Acceptance: The unit is enabled and ready to accept a bill when the LED is ON.
  • Directional Acceptance: Can be configured for 1 or 2-direction face-up acceptance, or 4-way acceptance (allowing bills to be inserted in any direction).
  • Configuration Flexibility:
    • Coupon Configuration: A programming coupon (a copy of a U.S. $1 dollar bill with specific blocks filled in with a #2 pencil) can be used. The coupon must be inserted face up.
      • Section 1: Enables desired bill denominations and sets directional acceptance.
      • Section 2: Enables specific bill denominations (fill one block per denomination). "Off" rejects, "ACCEPT" accepts.
      • Section 3 & 4: Not Applicable.
      • Section 5: Controls Bezel Lights (Flashing or constantly ON).
      • Process: Depress the blue configuration button once to enter programming mode (red LED flashes rapidly). Insert the coupon.
      • Feedback: If accepted, the coupon is returned immediately, and the LED and green arrows flash 10 times. If rejected, the coupon is returned after ten seconds, and the LED/green arrows flash a number of times corresponding to the improperly filled section.
    • Bill Configuration (Alternative):
      • Press the blue configuration button. The red LED status light will flash rapidly.
      • Insert a bill of the desired denomination. The bill will be returned.
      • If the denomination was enabled, the LED and green arrows flash 10 times. If it was already enabled, it will be disabled, and the LED/green arrows flash 3 times. Repeating the process returns to the former setting.
      • 7 flashes indicate programming was not accepted.
  • Diagnostic LED Status (Status LED Chart):
    • LED ON: Unit enabled, ready to accept bill.

    • 4 Flashes: Obstruction in cross channel sensor.
    • 5 Flashes: Magazine removed.

  • Important Notes:

    • Always ensure the Status LED returns to steady ON before leaving the machine after configuration.

Maintenance Features

  • Troubleshooting via Status LED: The LED codes provide clear indications for common issues, guiding maintenance actions.
  • Obstruction Removal: For 1 Flash (bill path obstruction) or 4 Flashes (cross channel sensor obstruction), the solution involves removing the magazine and LED housing to inspect for and remove foreign material.
  • Cleaning: For 3 Flashes (bill path needs cleaning), the magazine and LED housing should be removed, and the bill path cleaned according to instructions.

  • Unit Replacement: For Slow Flashes (unit defective), the unit should be replaced.
  • Power Check: For LED OFF (no power), check to ensure power is applied.
  • Configuration Verification: For 2 Flashes (unit not enabled), verify configuration and check coin tube levels in the coin changer, ensuring coins are in each tube.
