Coinco validator out of service output

[Ric]

I would like to tap into the output of a Coinco mag 50 and Vantage validator that gives the out of service signal in order to connect it to a remote monitoring system. Anyone have an idea how to do that?

If you have a camera system it might be possible to install a camera inside your autocashier or changer to view the out of service light.

I know what you’re trying to do and it’s a good idea but there isn’t an “Out of Service” output on the Coinco validators. If you get a bill jam in the validator your kind of SOL until you come back and clear it. It would be nice if they did. I have colored $1 bills that my clean up uses everyday to test the changer. I very seldom ever have any problems with the bill changers or validators.

Thanks Randy,
I also don't have much problem with them. Plus I have three of them on this site if one does go down. It just so happens I am installing a remote monitoring system and thought...hey what the heck.
