2. To simplify the discussion the term healthy will be used to describe a peripheral coin mech bill validator or a cashless device which is present which is communicating normally to the VMC and which has no fatal out of service conditions MDB OUT OF SERVICE Previously the VMC would go out of service if what it determined a critical peripheral became unhealthy In a coin based system the coin mech was the critical peripheral In a cashless only system the card reader was the critical peripheral Bill only applications were not supported so an unhealthy validator was never sufficient to take the machine out of service In this firmware the machine will only go out of service if at first at least one peripheral becomes healthy then all peripherals become unhealthy REMAINING IN SERVICE W O COIN MECH If a bill validator is present and the coin mech becomes unhealthy the VMC will now continue running with the validator and cashless if present Over the past several years the criteria for an unhealthy finding have become more stringent as various reported error conditions such as coin jams were removed from out of service consideration Right now in practical terms the coin mech either has to burn out completely or become disconnected to be considered unhealthy by the VMC s criteria A healthy coin mech going unhealthy should be a rather rare occurrence To help notify patrons and service personnel th
