Refreshments Made Easy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I just picked up a Lektro Vend VS99 with a location...my problem is the Bill Validator [hopefully not the machine.] I have a MEI VN2311 with a Maka to MEI harness. Coin mech takes coins well, all motors works, board seems to function properly. Here is the problem: The BV accepts the dollar but doesn't show a dollar credit on the display board. Can anyone give me some suggestions thank you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The 2311 is an "Economy" model which has no switch 7 or 8 to set the interface with. That means that this validator only uses the short pulse. I don't know if the VS99 needs a long pulse or not but if it does then this validator won't work in that machine. Did the seller claim that it ever worked or is he selling you something he couldn't fix? The harness connection you show also don't go to a Mars validator so I'm not sure what they are hooked up to.

Refreshments Made Easy Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Got it with location. Looks like it was well taken care of. I will take more pictures of the harnesses attached. Thanks AZ.

lacanteen Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 My MEI interface guide from 2002 calls for a 24VAC with serial interface. That said, If you're only using the 110VAC power cable, you would still need a 2500 series bill acceptor to set switch 8 for credit line interface.

Refreshments Made Easy Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hello, I took out the 2311 and have a 2542 on stand by. I tried to insert both plugs into the side of the 2542 but the one with the 2 plastic caps on wouldn't allow me to. Will the 2542 work on this machine, if so can you please walk me through the process....thank you Forum. Please see photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The Lektovend VS99 will only take a 110v validator, that's why the power plug won't fit your 24v validator, Don't force it in or you'll damage the validator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refreshments Made Easy Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 AZ, you know what that was the harness for the 110 Mei bill validator. Do you think I need a Maka to 24v Mei harness? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk To use a 24V bill acceptor you need LV part # 098-5324 harness. Good luck with that. Your chances are better if you can find a MEI VN2501 bill acceptor.

AZVendor Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 You are really struggling with a dinosaur here. You need to put back in what was in it before if you can. The plugs in your first post were used for a Maka but if the machine still had the Mars harnesses supplied when the machine was new then you can do a 110v Mars. It looks like you have that harness from your second set of photos so you should use a 2500 110v validator. If you need one you can email me at rbepic4gatgmaildotcom.

Refreshments Made Easy Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 I normally would not deal with this machine but it is in prestine condition, like it just came off the Showroom floor. I think I have a 2500 110v...I will keep you posted. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
