Required Materials

  1. Cents device (Penny or Pulse)

  2. Harness (30-00879)

  3. 24V Adapter (81-01613)

  4. 2x Splices (81-01616)

Purchasing the Cents Install Kit is optional but recommended.

Harness Installation Steps

  1. Identify the 6-pin male header labeled SERIAL COM on the Dexter control board.

  2. Using the 30-00963 harness, plug the female 6-pin connector into this header.

  3. Identify the 24VAC transformer. There will be two red/orange wires at its output.

  4. Using the provided 81-01616 splices, connect the 30-00899 flying lead power adapter to the 24VAC supply provided by the transformer.

  5. Plug in the male 2-pin connector from the 30-00899 harness into the female 2-pin connector on the 30-00963 harness.

  6. Connect the Penny via the 16-pin connector and test power.

Device Installation Steps

Depending on machine size and owner preference, devices can be mounted in the top left or top right of the machines. Always ensure that ergonomic requirements are met and that all responsible parties are in agreement on the installation location before drilling.

Once an installation location is chosen, machines can be prepped for drilling and mounting. Depending on the dexterity of the installer and the size of the machine, front panels may or may not need to be removed. Note that, to remove the front panel of these machines, the doors must also be removed. Machines roughly 40lb. and larger do not absolutely require front panels be removed, though this is best practice and is Cents' recommendation.

Consult the general guide for installation specifics.

Device Programming

Ensure that the VLAN setup has already been performed in order to move forward with device provisioning.

Follow the generic Penny Installation guide for overall instructions on device provisioning. Shown below are machine-specific provisioning instructions for Dexter C-Series Washers.

Using any smartphone, scan the QR code. A URL with the device's unique ID will be opened. You will be prompted with a login page. Use the provided login. After logging in, a provisioning page for that device will appear.

  1. For this machine type, copy the settings as shown above:

    1. Type: Washer

    2. Number: Input the machine number according to the store's numbering convention.

    3. Choose Machine Interface: SERIAL

    4. Choose Serial Type: DEXTER

    5. Price in Dollars: Ignore

    6. Release: Ignore

    7. Screen Saver Timeout: Ignore

  2. After pressing Save Changes, the device will reboot. Each time the device reboots, it displays its QR code, which can be scanned to verify the settings previously configured for that device. If a setting was entered incorrectly, contact Cents.

Machine Programming

These machines do not require reprogramming for the successful installation of Cents devices.
