EdsVending Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi All, I'm trying to convert a AP LCM2 that has a Coinco BA32SA bill acceptor to Mars VN 2512. Do I need a special harness from the board to the new validator or can I make the existing one work? I should mention, I do have the power harness for the Mars. Thanks in Advance.

AZVendor Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 You can use the same harness from the board to the validator as long as both validators are the same voltage, which the ones you mention will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris1953 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Some LCM boards have a plug on them to convert to MDB. Very cheap short harness. If it doesn't have the pins for MDB you can buy one for around $150.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought. However, I tried it and it didn't turn on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 First, is your VN validator a known good unit? Second, is the power pigtail for 24v (110v with ground wire will bend pins)? Does the VN power up at all and just give error flashes? Was your Coinco actually a 24v unit? If your VN powers up but just won't vend then try different configurations of switches 7 and 8 to get the correct interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
