Setting The Vend Prices.

If the Vending machine is fitted with its own electronic control board the prices are set through its menu.

Otherwise if the coin mech is either an ALQ-F70X or ALD-F70X then it is the only price control in the vending machine, the prices are set with the series of switches that are behind the acceptor head, the beige part at the top, there is a latch at the top right corner that allows the acceptor head to folded forward to reveal the switches.

There are two types of price setting, single and four price, this is dependant on the actual switch wiring with in the vending machine, it can either be wired for a single price or wired for up to four prices. The type of price setting is indicated in the coin mech by  switch 10. If it is OFF then it is set as a single price coin mech, and conversely if it is ON it is set as a four price coin mech (even if there is only a single price for all four price lines.) The use of either single or four price setting is wholly dependant on the vending machine.

To change the price on a single price coin mech, set the price you want (for example $1.20, with switches 4 & 5 ON) and press the mode button that is to the right of the LED. It will turn off momentarily, then return to a steady on.

To change the price on a four price coin mech, set the price you want (for example $1.20, with switches 4 & 5 ON) and press the mode button that is to the right of the LED. The LED will start to flash, now press the selection on the vending machine you want that price set to. Repeat this process with every selection on the vending machine (to ensure that a price is set for all selections).
