Description
The ALX Single Coin Acceptor 22-28mm is a reliable and cost-effective electronic coin validation system designed for vending machines, amusement equipment, kiosks, laundromats, car wash systems, massage chairs, access control applications, and other coin-operated devices. Engineered for accurate recognition of a single programmed coin or token type, this compact validator provides dependable operation while helping protect against fraudulent coin insertion.
Powered by an integrated CPU-controlled recognition system, the acceptor identifies coins based on a combination of diameter, thickness, and metal composition, ensuring accurate validation and consistent performance. The programmable design allows users to configure the unit for a specific coin or token, making it suitable for local currencies, gaming tokens, loyalty tokens, and custom access systems.
The unit accepts coins ranging from 22mm to 28mm in diameter and 1.7mm to 2.2mm in thickness, making it compatible with a broad range of international coins and custom tokens. An adjustable coin entry slot allows users to fine-tune the opening size, helping prevent oversized or invalid coins from entering the validation mechanism.
For enhanced security, the ALX Single Coin Acceptor incorporates CPU-controlled anti-string fraud protection, helping to prevent common manipulation techniques used to trigger false credits. Adjustable sensitivity controls enable users to fine-tune the acceptance tolerance for precise validation or broader acceptance ranges depending on the application.
The coin acceptor supports both Normally Open (N.O.) and Normally Closed (N.C.) signal outputs, making integration simple with counters, controllers, vending systems, PLCs, and microcontroller-based projects. Users can also select from three pulse duration outputs-30ms, 50ms, or 100ms-to match the requirements of the host system.
Designed for flexibility and ease of installation, the ALX Single Coin Acceptor operates from a standard 12VDC power supply and can be connected directly to electronic counters, vending machine controllers, gaming systems, and automation equipment.
Whether you're building a vending machine, arcade game, laundromat controller, token-operated service system, or custom payment device, the ALX Single Coin Acceptor delivers reliable coin recognition and dependable long-term operation.
