Wiring A Credit Board
« on: August 29, 2005, 12:47:00 pm »
Hey guys, I finally got around to getting my credit board for my coin mech (Mars ME126). So now comes the task of wiring it up to my Ipac. Now from what I gather I can take the 12v of a PC molex connector and also take the ground. What the problem I have is that on the board there are actually 2 ground connections and I'm unsure as to which one to use. Also what ground cable of the molex cable should I use? I assume the N/O would be wired to the coin input into my IPac? Also will i need to daisy chain a ground wire to this from my controls or is it ok if its just using the ground from the molex connector (I assume its the latter). Sorry for all the questions, electronics has never been my thing :).

I've also attached a photo of the credit board.

Thanks

Because I have an electronic coin mech, it sends pulses out based on how many credits are set for how much money, and it seends to be powered. I would have prefered a microswitch one but because this is what came with my cab I decided I would stick with it.

hmm...just looking at it leads me to believe that the "GND" next to the 12V input was meant for the 12V connection and the "GND" next to the "N/C" and "N/O" is meant for the "switch"

WARNING!!!!! hook this thing up to 12V and a multimeter tot the NO/NC connections to ensure your not sending too much voltage to the IPAC.
