AZVendor 2,588 Posted August 13, 2019 Unless the machine is set for free vend you will need at least a coin mech in it. If the machine is MDB then the bill validator plugs in to the machine and the coin mech plugs into the validator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not then the machine won't know to accept a bill if it doesn't know it can pay change back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngryChris 1,783 Posted August 14, 2019 If it's a Mars blinking 2 times, then that doesn't mean it isn't hooked up necessarily, it usually means something has disabled it. Either the coin mech doesn't have enough coins as AZVendor mentioned, the coin mech is faulty, or the control board is disabling it. I don't know if those machines have door switches but it could disable the components when not pressed (or. Door is open). Two blinks on a Mars is usually always a coin mech problem or door switch not engaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
