A rapid roundup of what’s working best on first‑time installs.
1) Pulse timing matters Set a reasonable min/max pulse in the dashboard and match the validator’s output. Too long and you’ll queue pulses; too short and some hardware may drop them.
2) Keep validators in standard pulse mode Avoid proprietary or “multi‑vend” modes unless you’ve verified pulse behavior.
3) Mount close to the validator/mech Shorter runs = cleaner signals. Secure the controller to avoid vibration‑related intermittents.
4) Test with a real play After QR test, run one paid play and one cash play; verify both credit and decrement.
5) Use the filters you’ll check later Operators love “Since Last Collection” and “Last 30 days.” Align installs and training around those views.
