2 Weavefuture Coin Acceptor AK5

Weavefuture Coin Acceptor is made for PC kiosk, it could not work with itself, and it has to work with Weavefuture Software kits include in this documents

2.1 Weavefuture Coin Acceptor AK5 Features

Armed with the powerful electronic microcontroller, (like a small computer system) the AK5 can automatically identify the coin by material, thickness and diameter. AK5 is designed as simple and stupid as possible.

l Multiple coins

It designed to set 5 different output value groups at the same time; every output value set can program 10 types’ coins.

Different output values mean number of output pulse.

l Setup coins by training

Programming the type of coin by training, when AK5 is in programming mode it memorize the data of material, thickness and diameter of the coins. When AK5 is in working mode it will recognize the coins by a complicated calculation and process these memorize data.

l Adjustable the recognized accuracy

There is a switch in the AK5 can adjust the accurate degree of recognizing sensitive.

l Alarm guard system.

The AK5 has software guard system; this guard system has alarm, which prevents opportunistic behaviors.

2.2 Specifications

l Apply to coin’s diameter = 18m/m - 29m/m

l Apply to coin’s thickness = 1.2m/m - 3.0m/m

l Work voltage = DC12V ± 20%

l Current in 50MA in power saving mode, wake up mode 500MA

l Temperature =-20C~50C

l Setting Switch set the AK5 to working mode (switch to start) or set the programming mode (switch to set)

l Adjust Setting Switch, which for adjusting the coin’s value, can set the coin value, when the AK5 in programming mode (Setting Switch switch to set)

o When the Sensitive Switch also switch to NOM, ”00-99” means how many times of the output pulse signal will be sent when the programmed coin was deposited,. ��01” means this group may output 1pulse.

l Sensitive Switch when the AK5 in working mode, it is for accepting the coin’s sensitive degree, it detects the difference between real/fake coins when inserted. when AK5 in programming mode, it also help the setup the coin output value

l Please turn on power about 10 minutes before using or setting you can get the optimal effect.

l Connecting instructions of connector:

Red line ―��DC+12V

Black line ――GND(Ground)
