Yes unless there is already a power module supplying power to the coin mech? Just a consideration if using the ipac im not sure if there will be a small voltage running through the unit from the wire from the coin mech?

This is Coin Mech end

SW1 - No Wire
SW2 - No Wire
0v - Black Wire  .. This wire comes from the light bulb in the PCB board and back out again  -- Wire this into the Earth of where the power is coming from..  i used the PSU
P2 - Yellow with Black Banding  Coin 2 on IPAC
lamp - No Wire
12v - No Wire
MET - White wire  with Red Banding  -- Ignore this
12v - No Wire
P1 - Orange wire with Black Banding  -- Wires to Coin 1 on IPAC
0v - Black  -- This is the earth that needs to be wired into IPAC or what ever version you are using
Key - No Wire
12v - Orange Wire -- Wire this into where you want to take your power from .. i used the PSU 12V cable

Update ... I Fixed it i opened up notepad inseterted a coin and it came up 55555 .. i checked the coin buttons X Arcaded uses and its 3 and 4 .. a quick remap and all was sorted out.. thanks all for help

AndyWarne:

There is an important issue to be aware of here. A powered coin mech or credit board might send a 12 volt signal to the device its connected to. This will damage the I-PAC / X-Arcade etc. It might not cause imediate damage but may be a delayed issue.
So, its always worth checking with a multimeter that no voltage higher than 5 is present on the connection to the interface.
This issue is not relevant when using a simple switch-type coin mech.
