Operation:

The TCM display will normally show the time with a zero value on the coin counter. Each coin inserted will pass through the coin validator. If rejected it is sent to the coin return cup. If accepted the counter will increment by the value of the coin. When the vend price or greater sum is shown on the counter the appropriate selection button should be pressed. The ticket will now be printed and issued, plus any change due paid to the coin return/change cup.

Should the machine be unable to give change a warning message will be illuminated automatically to indicate this state. This will go out automatically as soon as the required coins have been collected by the change giver.
