Price Change for Increment Modes
Touch Devices:
- For Linear Price - The price change is made on the touch screen itself.
- For Price List - The different prices are displayed on the touch screen.
In the Amit & VPOS devices, both for Linear Price and Price List, the consumer needs to press a button.
To configure the VPOS button, as an Increment Source use:
- Pulse group > Increment Source attribute > External Reader Cancel Button.
To configure an external button, as an Increment Source use:
- Devices Parameters group > Door Open Functionality attribute.
- To use the door open line as the button source, create a short circuit between the door open and GND wires to indicate a button press.
Payment group - Transaction Timeout
Enabling the option to reset the pulse index:
- If 0 - No reset
- If > 0 - Reset after Timeout (sec) / after Decline / from external line - J8:8 (MCR_DT2)
Relay mode option:
Instead of sending pulses, devices can also work in relay mode. This means changing the output level to activate any kind of motor. This behavior replaces the need for an external timer which transforms pulses to a time frame for activating the motor.
To enable the relay mode, set the value to Time per Pulse 1 (sec) (Attribute 705) and then the device will activate the machine for the time frame calculated by: Time per Pulse 1 (sec) x Pulse Increment (Index). The device will present the time count on the screen.
Another option is to use the Time per Pulse 1-6 (sec) array to set a time per pulse for each product separately.
Example 1:
- Pulse Active Time in 10ms = 20
- Pulse Inactive Time in 10ms = 20
- Pulse Increment = 4, 6, 9, 12
- Credit per pulse 1 = 50
- The machine will be active for 20 seconds for the first product, 40 for the second, 60 for the third, 80 for the fourth.
Example 2 – setting a time per pulse for each product separately:
- Pulse Increment = 2, 4, 6, 8
- Time per Pulse 1-6 (sec) = 10, 12, 16, 20
- The machine will be active for 20 seconds for the first product, 48 for the second, 96 ifor the third, 160 for the fourth.
There are 2 stop options on the relay mode:
- Option to stop in the middle (no payback on the time left)
- No option to stop - the time will be completed without an option to stop before the end.
You can control this by setting Pulse Options (Attribute 722) to 32.
