(54) New system for programming coin selectors


(57) The system comprises using types of disc-shaped pieces (A, B, C, ...) that due to their mechanical or electric characteristics offer an especially favourable performance in the selector (low measurement dispersion), establishing in relation to such types of disc-shaped pieces a correction function for each type of coin that is to be accepted by the selector, as in Mn = fn (A, B, C, ...), subsequently inserting those types of pieces in each of the selectors to be programmed, in which a programming equipment shall generate, with the information provided by the very selector and with the assistance of the said correction functions (fn) the reference levels suited to each name or type of coin, that are stored in the respective selector memory. The number of types of different tokens to be used will preferably be two.
