c2Configuration GENERAL INFORMATION
2 General information
In order to keep the manual as short as possible, this chapter provides
you with all general information, which will not be repeated in the following
chapters (e.g., connecting the HENRI service tool).
The vending machine interfaces
This manual refers to the configuration of all currenza c2models. The
models have different configuration options, e.g., due to different vending
machine interfaces.
The chapter title supplement put in brackets limits a certain function or
setting for one or several interfaces.
The user interfaces
Beyondthatthecurrenzac2modelsdifferintheiruserinterface.Thec2blue
is the only model with a user interface allowing a direct configuration at the
coinchanger.Allothermodels(green,orange,white)mustbeconnectedto
the HENRI service tool for configuration, that cannot be carried out using
the switch block on the rear of the coin validator.
When to use the HENRI service tool?
• To configure the c2green/orange/white
• To configure a second currency/special token values in the c2blue/
green/orange/white
• As data transfer unit for e.g. current configuration and firmware files,
which are supposed to be loaded into a c2blue/green/orange/white

If the cassette is refilled by inserting the tube coins (and without emptying
the cassette completely beforehand), see that the tube counters are not
correctedaccordingtothefillinglevelsensorsautomatically,astheinserted
coins will be registered exactly in the tube filling mode.
Whereas,ifyouremoveandcompletelyemptythecassettebeforeinserting
the tube coins, you should set the following in order to reset the tube
counters before refilling the cassette:
• Resetting the tube counters before refilling the cassette
• Correcting tube counters according to filling level sensors automatically
Settings for direct refilling the removed cassette
If the cassette is removed to be directly refilled with a certain number of coins
per tube,i.e. countedcoins, the coinchanger mustbe setas followsto ensure
the exact registration of the coin number:
• Configuration of the coin number as float level per tube
• Automatic tube counter setting to float levels
• Deactivation of the automatic tube counter correction according to filling
level sensors

c2Configuration SETTINGS FOR FILLING AND EMPTYING CASSETTE
Configuring float levels
Should you wish the service personal to always fill or empty the tubes at
a filling level of a certain and always identical coin number, it is advisable
to configure so-called float levels.
First of all specify a number of coins for each change tube (see section
"Specifying float level per tube" in this chapter).
Ifthetubesarerefilledbyinsertingthetubecoinswiththecassetteinstalled,
you also have to activate the float-up function (see section "Activating/
deactivating float-up function" in this chapter).
If the coin cassette is going to be removed to be refilled directly, you have
to activate the automatic tube counter programming (see section "Setting
tube counters to float levels automatically" in this chapter).

Setting tube counters to float levels automatically
Activate this function if you remove the coin cassette to directly refill it
with a certain number of coins (float levels). This is to ensure that the tube
counters will be set to the float level coin number automatically in the tube
filling mode as soon as you remove the cassette from the coin changer.

SETTINGS FOR FILLING AND EMPTYING CASSETTE
Correcting tube counters according to filling level sensors
Six tube counters are monitoring the exact number of coins in the tubes
and register each coin collected by and paid out from the tubes.
In addition each tube is equipped with up to four filling level sensors. If the
coin changer is supposed to compare the tube counter readings with the
measured filling levels of the sensors after a coin has been accepted or
paid out and correct the tube counters if necessary, you should activate
the automatic tube counter correction.
If the vending machine control is unable to process the automatic
correction of the tube counters, you must deactivate this function.
If the tube counter correction is deactivated, ensure that the tubes
are emptied either using the inventory keys or the service menu.
Otherwise the tube counters do not equal zero before refilling the
tubes, but the number of coins registered before emptying the tubes
(cp. separate service manual).
To activate/deactivate the tube counter correction:
Quick approach:
= Main menu > E = Settings > Operating modes > Tube counter correction
Press key ... How often? Effect

Resetting tube counters before fill-up
If change is refilled by inserting the tube coins but the cassette is removed
to be completely emptied before fill-up, the coin changer should be set so
that the tube counters will be reset when removing the cassette, i.e. before
refilling the tubes.

set so that all cash-box coins will be inhibited and redirected to the return
area when the changer is in tube filling mode.
