Installation Manual
IMONEX Model EM10, EM12, EM20, EM21 Coin Multiplier Board
• General Description
The coin multiplier board is capable of multiplying currency values for the
IMONEX R,V,Z-Series acceptors. It may be used in combination with
mechanical switches, or the IMONEX optical coin sensing assembly.
Multiplier values are factory or field set by DIP switches at 1 or 2 pulses
for the lower currency coin and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 10 pulses for the
higher currency coin. Consult factory for other multiplier combinations.
The pulse length can be field set by DIP switches for either 50mS or
150mS duration.
was no voltage to the coin switch, but there is voltage at the acceptor
when a coin is accepted use Option B. If there is no voltage in either
case, use Option C.
5. Turn on the machine that the acceptor is installed in.
6. Verify that there is power to the multiplier board by checking that the
green LED on the multiplier board is glowing.
7. Insert a coin into the acceptor and verify correct operation by
checking the credits on the machine, and by counting how many
times the LED flashes off on the multiplier unit. The LED should
flash off for every credit issued.

4. If the meter read AC voltage greater than 2 volts, this multiplier board
is not designed for use with your machine. Contact the factory for a Brown
recommendation of a different multiplier board. Do not install the
multiplier as it may damage the unit. Option C - Negative True Connection (Sinking)
5. If the unit read between 2.5 and 30 DC volts across the coin switch COIN
