Diagnostic report for Entra.Station change dispensing errors. Focus on coin mechanism, sensors, voltage, and preventive maintenance for commercial kiosk use.
Error codes provide more direct indications of the failing subsystem.
Recent service may introduce new problems.
The specific type can lead to denomination specific problems.
The coin dispensing mechanism relies on a 24V DC solenoid system triggered by the central processing unit (CPU). Optical or inductive sensors verify coin presence and count. Malfunctions can stem from voltage fluctuations, sensor contamination (-40C resilience a factor), or mechanical blockages in the coin path. Diagnostic baud rate: 9600.
Entra.Station dispenses incorrect change during transactions. This includes dispensing insufficient change, dispensing excess change, or dispensing the wrong denominations.
High Voltage Hazard: The Entra.Station operates with 24V DC. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance. Ensure the work area is dry. The kiosk is deployed in an unattended public setting; exercise caution regarding potential vandalism.
Implement a quarterly maintenance schedule including coin path cleaning, sensor inspection, and voltage verification. Ensure the kiosk is installed in a location protected from extreme weather where possible. Periodically audit change dispensing accuracy.
Check for a software configuration setting related to coin denominations. An incorrect denomination setting can cause dispensing errors. Cycle the power supply off and on to reset error states after attempting the above solutions. A change in Coin Lot or vendor can effect the validator.
