How to Change the Price of a Non-Serial Device

For non serial machines such as Dexter A-Series, V-Series, and N-Series machines, Alliance Centurion, MDC, and NetMaster dryers, and Electrolux Compass Pro dryers, the Cents device has no direct communication with the machine to read its vend price. This means that the device price must be independently set from the machine.

If vend price has changed on the machine, the device must be updated accordingly. Once devices are paired to the Business Manager, this process must occur through the Business Manager. See the video and description below for a step by step guide.

The guide unpairs the device, and then re-pairs that device to the existing machine instance through the pairing wizard. This is critical to maintain turn history, the coin ledger, and the association with the correct Live Link QR code. If the machine is archived, all of this will be lost. So, follow the steps below to perform this process correctly.

Step-By-Step Description

  1. Locate the device in question in the Business Manager

  2. Select the three-dot menu in the top right hand corner and press "Unpair Device"

  3. After doing so, the device will unpair and then an orange icon at the top of the machine list will show "1 unpaired device". Click this icon.

  4. Clicking this icon brings you to the pairing page. Click "Pair to existing machine"

  5. Select the machine you just unpaired the device from in the menu. In this case, "W-181"

  6. Click Next and then select the correct machine type. This should be the same type as what the device previously was before unpairing. In this case it is "Dexter Coin Pulse" but other potential options would be "Electrolux" or "Alliance Pulse". Contact Cents support if you have questions on this step. Click next.

  7. On this page, select the correct coin increment (defaults to $0.25 which is the most common), and then the new vend price. In this case that is $6.00 from $5.75. Click Save and then this device will be re-paired.
