INSTALLATION
Preparing for Installation
♦Turn OFF all power to the vending machine.
♦To ensure that the CF7000 performance is not
affected, visually check the vending machine is
upright, both from the front and side.
♦Before mounting the CF7000 to the vending
machine, check the operating voltage of the vending
machine matches that stated on the CF7000 label.
Installing the CF7000 to the machine
The CF7000 is mounted onto the vending machine by hanging it onto three studs
located on the vending machine. To do this you will need to open the
discriminator assembly and line up the mounting keyholes of the CF7000 with the
vending machine studs.
♦Press the yellow button at the top of the CF7000 and gently lift and pull the
discriminator assembly forward. Once open, the mounting keyholes will be
made visible.
♦To securely fix the CF7000 in place, partly unscrew the three machine studs.
♦Line up the three mounting keyholes of the CF7000 with the studs and hang it
in place ensuring that the CF7000 is sitting flat against the machine back
plate.

♦Tighten all three studs and return the discriminator back to its normal position.
Alignment Checks
Once the CF7000 has been securely fitted to the vending machine, check reject
lever operation and coin chute alignment. Do this without any power applied to
the machine.
Cable Connection
The CF7000 may be fitted with more than one cable,
these may be intended for TX-RX communications,
drive an external display or to extract audit data.
Once all relevant cables are connected and before
closing the machine door, tuck any unused cables
away tidily ensuring that none are trapped between
the reject lever mechanism and the vending
machine door. You can now switch ON the power to
the vending machine.

KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
On the front of the CashFlow
®
7000 there is a user interface keypad. The keypad
has three LED’s, six function buttons, and depending on the CF7000 model a
large LCD display.
This keypad allows you to dispense coins from the five-tube dispenser, access &
navigate through the configuration menus and monitor the status of the CF7000.

1 3 LED’s Red, Amber, Green
2 to Dispense coins & navigate through menus
3 Display (LCD) Menu information & warning display
4 ‘Mode’ Button Access service & setup menus
5 Service Connector CPM Compatible
The LED’s provide a visual indication by light flashes that report the state of the
CF7000. An LED can either be ON, OFF or FLASHING. These light flash codes
can indicate when the CF7000 is operating normally, is in configuration/program
mode or has a fault. (Refer to the LED light code section for more information)
The blue keys (marked A to E) have two functions.
When the CF7000 is in idle mode, pressing a blue button on its own will dispense
a coin from that tube. When you press and hold the blue button for approx. 4
seconds, this activates auto dispense (latch dispensing of coins) until the tube is
empty of coins. If however, the yellow (mode) button is pressed, the blue buttons
are then used for navigation through the CF7000 service mode and setup mode
menus.
(Setup menus are only available on CF7900)
Service Mode: gives access to the most frequently used product configuration
options. (See Service Mode Options - Page 6)
Setup Mode: gives access to general product configuration options that are
required when setting up your CF7000. (See Setup Mode Menus - Page 7)

GETTING STARTED
At power up, the CF7000 will run a self test, where the CF7000 motor will sound,
the LED’s will cycle five times through a sequence of red, amber & green.
On CF7900 the LCD display briefly shows its software revision and as there are
no coins in the tube cassette, the display will show a “Low Tubes” message
requesting that the coin tubes be filled to a predefined level ( refer to the floating coin
tubes section ). Once the CF7000 has enough coins in the tubes, the LCD display
will show the coin totals (in currency value) stored in the tubes.
Note: MEI recommends that a small number of coins (e.g. 5 of each) be inserted
in each tube prior to leaving the machine.
Floating the Coin Tubes
There are two ways to float the CF7000 tubes with coins.
1) Manually fill each tube by inserting coins into the tubes.
2) Use the Service Mode and insert coins through the discriminator.
Filling Tubes Manually
1. Remove the tube cassette from the CF7000.
2. Insert required number of coins into relevant storage tubes.
3. Re-fit tube cassette back on to the CF7000.
The CF7000 will now begin an automatic tube calibration measurement where a
clicking sound will be heard, this is normal. On CF7900 once calibration is
complete the display will show a total currency value of the coins inserted. If a
tube is left empty the display will show a tube low message for the particular tube.
Fill Tube using Service Mode
1. Press the Yellow ‘Mode’ button once.
2. Press ‘A’ button and start inserting coins through the discriminator.
3. On CF7900 the display will show the number of coins that are required for
each tube. (the displayed count will decrement as coins are inserted)
4. Press ‘A’ button to exit float mode.
