INSTALLATION
Preparing for Installation
1. Turn OFF all power to the vending machine.
2. To ensure that the CF7906 performance is not degraded, check that the vending machine is upright
and vertical, both from the front and side.
3. Before mounting the CF7906 in the vending machine, check that the operating voltage of the vending
machine matches the voltage stated on the CF7906 label.
Installing the CF7906 in the vending machine
The CF7906 is mounted onto the vending machine by hanging it onto three studs located on the vending
machine. You will need to open the discriminator assembly and line up the mounting keyholes of the
CF7906 with the vending machine studs.

studs/screws.
6. Line up the three mounting keyholes of the CF7906 with the studs/screws and hang it in place
ensuring that the CF7906 is flat and vertical against the machine back plate. Tighten all three
studs/screws as needed and return the discriminator back to its normal position.

LED’s
The LED’s provide a visual indication of the operating state of the CF7906. An LED can either be ON,
OFF or FLASHING. These light flash codes can indicate when the CF7906 is operating normally, is in
set-up menu or has a fault. (Refer to the LED light code section for more information).
Blue Buttons
The blue buttons (marked A to F) have two functions.
When the CF7906 is in idle mode, pressing a blue button by itself will dispense a coin from that tube.
When you press and hold the blue button for approx. 3 seconds, this activates auto dispense (latch
dispensing of coins) until the tube is empty of coins.
If however, the “D” and “F” buttons are pressed at the same time, the blue buttons are then used to
navigate through the CF7906 Basic and Setup menus.

On the CF7906, the LCD display briefly shows its software revision and if there are no coins in the tube
cassette, the display will show a “Low Tubes” message. (refer to the floating coin tubes section).
The LCD display will show the coin totals (in currency value) stored in the tubes.
Floating the Coin Tubes
There are two ways to float the CF7906 tubes with coins.

3. Re-fit tube cassette back on to the CF7906.
The CF7906 will now begin an automatic tube calibration measurement where a clicking sound will
be heard, this is normal. Once calibration is complete, the display will show the total currency value
of the coins inserted.
If a tube is left empty, the display will show a tube low message for that particular tube.
