AZVendor Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 You will need a Mars MDB harness to interface to your current logic board harness. There are two bezels for MEI validators - a snack bezel and a soda bezel (called a compact bezel). For that machine you need the snack bezel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daves Automat Posted November 30, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2021 Ok. Everything installed. Took me a couple tries with the InOne kit. The connection pins are very particular. The ePort set up without issue. Wish me luck! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick98 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Oh no...Do not use Eport!!! Unless you like chargebacks? This is what will happen to you - Someone will buy a visa debit card, they will come empty your machine. they will dispute the charges. They will automatically be reimbursed and get all your product for free. Cantaloupe will post the chargeback to your account (as seen below). Will not even tell you about it or offer any recourse. I would take that reader off ASAP if I was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwc31015 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 How would they empty the machine without many multiple uses of the card? I don’t know of any readers that allow for more than two times the highest-priced item in the machine. I can’t imagine a chargeback on 50-plus card swipes in a row unless the card was reported stolen. Even at that there would be a limit to the number of successive transactions that would occur before the processor halted approvals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick98 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 You don't need to use the same card. You can go get as many as you want. You don't have to imagine anything I just posted a picture of our actual Eport chargebacks for last month over 1K....

This problem would probably be limited to non- food machines. However, there are a lot of that type of vending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Read through your processing agreement and see if there is a limit to any of that crap. I am also surprised that they will simply give money back with no proof of loss and even in light of obviously suspicious activity. There should be a point when they refuse to refund money when things get hinky with a machine, a card or a processing account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And trust me, there are so many GOOD reasons to dislike/hate USA Tech but this isn't one of them. This sounds like something that happened to you and I don't think it's fair to tell everyone to avoid USA Tech because some people are committing fraud on you. Have you not reached out to the location and notified them of what happened? Get those people fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daves Automat Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Alright. I took the plunge and installed the InOne kit with an ePort terminal. Cashless sales are working perfectly. My problem now is that cash sales nosedived... After checking on the machine I found that the Coinco BA32F bill validator only accepts one $1 bill now. This affords the purchase of 2 out of 35 items in the machine. During the InOne install, I played with the switches inside the validator. Switch 3 is on because it is not running Pulse. Switch 8 is on to accept $1 bills. All other switches (1,2,4,5,6, & 7) are off. My understanding is that switches 4-7 accept $20, $10, $5, & $2 bills which this validator is not designed to accept. Please see attached pic. I can't figure out why the bill validator refuses to accept more than a single $1 bill. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Learned this lesson immediately after install: would not accept any cash after turning 3 off during the install. Somehow 3 & 6 were set to ON before the InOne install.
