Alliance EDC machines can be identified by their unique display. Cents devices adapt to these machines through the 3-pin coin connector only. 24VAC power must be tapped on the control board.
ALWAYS POWER DOWN MACHINES THROUGHOUT DEVICE INSTALLATION.
Please reference the general Penny and Pulse Installation guides found below:
Required Materials
Cents device (Penny or Pulse)
Harness (30-01023)
Flying Lead Power Adapter with 2x Wire Splices (30-00899)
Purchasing the Cents Install Kit is optional but recommended.
Harness Installation Steps
Identify the coin drop, and the harness that connects the coin drop to the machine control board via a 3-pin connector. Disconnect this connector.
Take the male 3-pin connector on the 30-01023 harness and plug it into the female 3-pin connector on the coin drop.
Take the male 3-pin connector on the machine interface and plug it into the female 3-pin connector on the 30-01023 harness.
Flying Lead 2-Pin Power Connection
Power must be tapped by identifying a white wire and a red wire with a white stripe, and using the supplied wire splices to create the connection. Take a look at our wire splice guide here.
The white and red/white wires will be in the locations on the connector shown below:
Using the 30-00899 harness with splices, splice power on those wires. The correct installation will look as is shown below:
Connect the completed 30-00899 harness to the 30-01023 harness. Connect the Penny via the 16-pin connector and test power.
Device Installation Steps
Consult the general guide for installation specifics.
Dryers
Single dryers have various locations that will work for device mounting. Always ensure harness length is sufficient. Devices can be mounted on stacked dryers in two locations, shown by the red and blue squares below.
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.
Dryers
For this machine type, copy the settings as shown above:
Dryer
Device Number: Input the machine number according to the store's numbering convention.
Short device Name: This identifier will prepend each credit card transaction unique ID. Most commonly users prepend the number with "D".
Choose Machine Type: GPIO
Choose Serial Type: EDC
Price in Dollars: Default price shown on the device.
Minutes per Quarter: How many minutes $0.25 will buy you.
After pressing submit, the device will reboot. Each time the device reboots it will display its QR code which can be scanned to verify the settings previously chosen for that device. In the event that a setting was entered incorrectly, contact Cents.
Dryers are natively in the "multiple pulses" mode and so do not need any particular machine programming to allow for device functionality.
