Wiring Coin Controls coin door counter **wiring diagram added**
mountain:
A combination of the two is ideal in this application.
SavannahLion:
In the first example, is the intent to isolate the coil from the circuit or to isolate the circuit from the coil?
In the second example, does diode distance from the coil have an affect on its function?
Too many questions? ;D
mountain:
The first example will isolate the coil from the circuit. Sorry, forgot to mention that. As far as distance, I don't believe that any distance within a cabinet would create any issues.

That's the section that runs ya about $30 a year?

I wired my coin door and coin counter this weekend and everything works like I had planned. The coin switches trigger the coin counter and the encoder. I decided to throw in a relay to isolate the counter's coil from the entire circuit. I wasn’t sure if the 12volts sitting on the coil would mess with the ipac. After wiring it up I realized that the 12volts feeding through the coil will not reach the encoder because of the diodes. I decided to leave the relay in the cabinet and on the drawing below. I also put a switch on the coin1 return but I didn’t want it to trigger the counter so I wired it in after the diodes.
EDIT: see next post for a more detailed picture.
