For example the USA coin door has a UNIT of 25 and the left and right slots generate 1 PULSE and the center slot (the DBV) generates four PULSES. The coin mechanisms accept quarters and the DBV dollars. Therefore, the UNIT is 25 (for 25 cents) and the left and right generate 1 PULSE for a single quarter and the center slot generates 4 PULSES for a dollar bill being four quarters. - If Standard Adjustment "Game Pricing" is changed to a selection with different UNITS PER PULSE than the active CUSTOM coin door, the custom coin door will be reset to the factory default for that Game Pricing selection. - Display the selected settings and whether they are the FACTORY default or CUSTOM configuration. - Correct the delay between multiple Q24 knocker requests.
