CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 selectors User Guide  
The entry bezel and the Y-chute options can be used with either the CashFlow® 126  
system or CashFlow® 129 system. The CashFlow® 126 can be supplied for fitting into a  
short channel, so long as the machine has suitable mounting points for the bezel and  
Y-chute.  
The Y-chute is available in two versions, the one shown above which includes electronics  
with back illumination of the dual coin/token bezel, and a version which has no  
electronics. This version is suitable for coin only applications.  
In a coin only application the interface loom from the machine goes directly to the  
validator. The use of the dual coin/token application, however, requires a different loom,  
which connects as shown above.

CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 selectors User Guide  
The electrical connections and interfaces to each variant of CashFlow® 126 and  
CashFlow® 129 are identical, and are found in the same locations.  
(A) Machine Interface - This provides power to the validator and carries the coin inhibit  
signals from the machine and coin outputs to the machine.  
(B) Routing Plug - This comprises a series of links fitted to a route plug housing and is  
used to set up the primary coin exits and any specific overflow exits.  
(C) Separator Connector - The separator interface connection must be made before  
physically attaching the validator and separator together. The separator will direct  
accepted coins/tokens to defined exits.  
(D) Route Inhibits -This connector is used to signal that a particular exit has reached  
“full” status. Subsequent coins will be diverted to their defined overflow exits.

INSTALLATION  
Installing or removing the CashFlow® product from your machine can be done by  
following these simple instructions.  
+ When installing the CashFlow® 126 Front Entry product it will be fitted to an MEI Front Plate and  
the following instructions will always apply.  
+ The mounting channel for the CashFlow® 126 top entry product is supplied by the machine  
manufacturer, and therefore some variations may exist from machine to machine, however in  
principle these instructions still apply.  
CF126 Front Entry Installation  
q Connect the separator loom to the connector at the base of the validator and locate  
the rectangular boss on the top of the separator into the base of the validator.  
q Firmly screw the separator fixing lugs onto the rear of the validator.  
q Having ensured that the front plate has a firm location onto the front of the  
machine, insert the side of the validator onto the two round bosses at the rear of  
the front plate and push firmly together until the two retaining clips are fully  
engaged.

CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 selectors User Guide  
CF 126 Top Entry Installation  
+ When mounted into a short channel the product must be fully assembled and ready for use,  
with only the machine interface loom to be connected.  
q The mounting points indicated must be firmly seated into the channel and a  
gap of between 2-3 mm left between the reject lever and the reject arm from  
the machine. This small gap will ensure that the validator lid is able to fully  
close when the reject button on the machine has been pressed and released.  
The two Y-chutes already referred to can both be used with the short channel  
version, but care must be taken to ensure that the gap mentioned above is  
maintained between the Y-chute reject arm link and the reject lever of the coin  
mechanism.

CashFlow® 129 System Installation  
The system consists of a channel, Y-chute, CashFlow® 129 validator, 8-way separator,  
manifold and tube collar plate.  
This is supplied as a complete system, but should you need to replace any part of it do so  
only in a set sequence, starting from near the top.  
+ The Y-chute can, of course, be removed first, but it is not necessary to do so just to access the  
other modules.  
Removal of Validator and Separator  
q Ensure that power is turned off, not only to the validator, but also to the Y-chute if  
live.  
q Dis-connect machine interface loom, and the route inhibit connector.  
q Dis-engage the release catch and lift the validator and separator upwards out of  
the mounting points. Pull the validator and separator forwards clear of channel.

CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 selectors User Guide  
Removal of Manifold and Collar Plate  
q The manifold is supported in position by four lugs which slot into the side plates of  
the channel. It is retained there by two catches, as is the collar plate at the bottom.  
Bottom section of CashFlow® 129 system  
Removal of Y-chute  
q Always dis-connect the electrical connection first, if used, before removal of the  
Y-chute.  
q Pinch together the bottom ends of the Y-chute and lift upwards and to the right  
from the channel.

ACCEPTANCE AND ROUTING  
When the product is successfully mounted you will need to confirm that it is set up  
correctly to accept good coins/tokens and direct them to where you want them to go.  
First things first  
q Press and release the reject button on the machine. Confirm that the lid on the  
front of the validator closes fully when the reject button is released. If it does not  
close fully the validator cannot function properly.  
q Test that power is on by checking that the green LED on the front of the validator is  
illuminated, it will flash off once when the reject lever is pressed.  
Testing for Acceptance  
q Insert into the machine a selection of all the coins/tokens shown on the validator  
label. Acceptance of each one will be indicated by the LED flashing off once, and if  
the coin/token is outside of the programmed window it will flash off twice. If the  
LED flashes three time this indicates that the coin/token has been rejected by the  
validator 4th sensor. Should the LED flash off four times this indicates either a  
hardware or software inhibit is being applied.  
Coin Routing  
q Confirm that all coins and tokens are being routed to the required exits. If they are  
not refer to the Trouble Shooting section. Settings may have been made on the  
machine for hopper or tube limit switches, and these must be taken into account.  
q If further help is required then consult the Operators Handbook for the product or  
contact either your distributor or local MEI office.

PRODUCT FEATURES  
The CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 products have the flexibility to change certain  
settings such as varying the coin-set that it handles, or new routing for some of the  
coins/tokens.  
These changes can be carried out using the rotary data switch and the configuration  
switch which are fitted uniquely to the CashFlow® 126 and CashFlow® 129 products. The  
following pages show how, with the use of these switches, coins/tokens can be inhibited  
or enabled, either a new individual token or a group of tokens selected and the machine  
output mode changed.  
In addition to these two switches there is a green diagnostic LED which signifies if any  
changes you make have been successfully actioned or not.  
Changes can also be made to the coin routing with the use of  
a routing plug.  
The routing plug is available in two forms, either ready-made  
for specific applications, or do-it-yourself kits, consisting of  
loose plugs and either wire links with crimps at each end or  
links incorporating a sleeved IN4148 diode with crimps at each end. The diode version is  
required to give protection from shorting where two separate coins are required to got to  
the same exit. An illustration of how these can be assembled is shown on the next page.  
Both versions are available from your distributor, who can assist you with assembly  
details.  
A summary follows of the way in which you can use the above features. For greater detail  
of how to use all of these features you are advised to contact either your distributor or MEI  
office for technical assistance.

Assembling a 22-Way Routing Plug  
While the links are readily inserted into the routing plug by hand without specialist tools,  
care is needed to ensure that they are fitted the correct way round, particularly with the  
doide version, so that the barb in the pin engages with the recess in the plug. Having  
inserted a link give it a gentle tug to ensure that it has engaged with the recess.

Route Inhibit Connector  
The function of the route Inhibit Connector is to signal when specific exits, external to the  
product, are in a “Full” condition. Signals from the machine ensure that, while the “Full”  
condition continues, further coins/tokens directed to that exit will be re-routed to an  
alternative exit. The instruction as to which alternative exits can be used will normally  
come from the routing plug.  
+ In order to inhibit a particular route, 0V must be applied to its respective pin.

Using the Rotary Data Switch and Configuration  
Switches  
Rotary Data Switch  
The rotary data switch is used in conjunction with the  
configuration switches. By pointing the arrow in the middle of  
the switch, using a fine screwdriver, data can be entered into  
the product. In Normal Operation mode the position of the arrow  
is not critical to correct operation.  
Configuration Teach Switches  
These switches can be set to a series of positions which enable the product configuration  
to be changed.  
When teach modes are to be entered first SWITCH POWER OFF to  
the unit, or an un-intended action could be set.  
The example given here, with both the rotary data switch and the  
configuration switch settings, is to enable channel 3 in the coin set.  
+ Wherever in the examples that follow the switch is shown as hatched grey (usually switch 1) it  
indicates that it does not matter if the switch is in the ON or OFF position. Switch 1 only features  
in the settings for Alarm Enable when it must be in the ON position. When it is in the OFF  
position the Alarm function is NOT active.  
q After making any changes the  
configuration switches 2, 3, and 4  
MUST always return to either of the  
Normal Operation positions shown  
here.  
Diagnostic LED  
q The LED will illuminate to indicate that the product is  
powered up, and in addition will give various sequences o
flashes to confirm the acceptance or rejection status o
coins/tokens.

MAINTENANCE  
+ The practical maintenance that can be carried out is limited to cleaning the areas of the  
validator that the coins travel through, and the replacement of the coin entry liner if it becomes  
worn. All other servicing is carried out through your distributor.  
The cleaning should be carried out on a regular basis of at least once a month, but, if you  
have to visit the validator outside of that routine, it is worth while doing it then as well.  
The shaded areas shown below, plus the back of the reject cover, are those to be cared  
for.  
The coin entry liner is accessed by unscrewing the coin entry moulding at the top of the  
validator. The coin entry liner can then be eased off with the aid of a fine screwdriver, and  
a replacement slid into place.  
q Cleaning and maintenance must only be carried out by suitably trained personnel.  
q Cleaning must only be carried out after power has been removed from the product.  
q Never use a cleaner containing solvents, scrapers or abrasive materials.  
q Never apply water or cleansers directly onto the product. Always apply them to a  
clean cloth first, and not too liberally, so that the cloth used is only moist.
