Part 2: RECAP STANDARD MODULE - Smart Vend Corporation

RECAP Software User's GuidePart 2: Standard(Depending on which of the two lines the pulse is received, the unitdesignates it as either an Auxiliary 1 or Auxiliary 2 copy.)NoteBecause the unit has no way of detecting a special copy until after the copyhas been made, copier access is permitted as long as the card/cash valuedoes not fall below the base copy cost, or the minimum card/cash value,whichever is highest. Thus, if the minimum card value is less than thehighest possible copy cost, a user card may occasionally end up with anegative balance.Blind Pulse PeriodBlind TimeBonus Mode• SELECTIVE MODE. This method of detecting special copies is almost thesame as the PULSE MODE method-except with SELECTIVE, the twoauxiliary input lines do not operate independently. Instead, one lineindicates only that a special copy has been made; the other specifieswhether it was an Auxiliary 1 or Auxiliary 2 copy.Terminal, Tower-This entry is the same as “Blind Time” (next entry)..Accumulator-The number of seconds the control unit waits after receiving acopy pulse before acknowledging any additional pulses. (Allowable times arefrom 0.0 to 9.9 seconds.) For example, if the Blind Time is set to 0.5, copypulses received less than 0.5 seconds apart are ignored. Unless instructedotherwise by a Schlumberger DANYL service representative, keep thissetting at 0.CSC, Tower-An operating mode that allows you to encode cash bonuses oncards during RECHARGE (add value) operations.These bonuses can be usedas an incentive for users to encode cards with a higher dollar value or to usehigher bill denominations when adding value to the card. Three settings arepossible:• NONE-this setting disables the use of bonuses.• TOTAL BILLS-this setting gives bonuses based on the total amountinserted to recharge the card. For instance, if a user inserts two $5 bills andfour quarters, the value added to the card is $11 plus the specified bonus fora $11 RECHARGE. Using this setting, you can encourage users to add ahigher value to cards-the higher the value added, the larger the bonus. Forinstance, you can set bonuses up so that users who insert $3.00 to rechargecards receive a 5% bonus, while users who insert $10.00 receive a 15%bonus.2-12 Planning the Standard Setup Parameters Planning the Control Group Parameters
