Coin Mech Comparitor Wiring

Still not sure what to do to make it work. I should be able to connect my
12V power supply to pin 5, but where do I connect the other ends. Will I
even be able to just have the coin comparitor work without hooking it up to
a machine.

Hook up the +12 to pin 5, and common to pin 6. Put the reference coin
in the slot and set the adjustment all the way to counterclockwise.

Feed the coin to accept in - does it accept? LED should go out and the
solenoid should drop the coin out the slot under the LED (rear of mech
when mounted on a coin door).

If that doesn't work, turn the adjustment all the way clockwise (it's
one or the other, can't recall) and test again.

Once it starts accepting the valid coin/token, then turn the adjustment
back until it REJECTS the coin/token. This is the worst case setting,
turn the adjustment back 1/8 turn and it should then accept all valid
coins/tokens, but reject anything else.

Now you can decide to either use the mech to signal directly (pin 3) or
simply mount it so an accepted coin trips the coin switch (or whatever
mechanical stuff) that tells the machine a valid payment has been made.

Hope that is clear enough!
