DL-1275 Ticket Dispenser Connections
The Deltronics DL-1275 ticket dispenser has the following interface on it:
| Number of pins | 4 |
|---|---|
| Moulding type | receptacle |
| Contact type | sockets |
| Pitch (pin spacing) | 0.198in (5.03mm) a/k/a ".093 series" by molex |
| Pin 1 | Blue: Notch sensor. Floats to 12V, pulled to GND when notch detected. |
| Pin 2 | Black: GND |
| Pin 3 | White: Apply +12V to enable dispensing motor. |
| Pin 4 | Red: +12V |
Within Iceball, OEM cabling switches over to a 12-pin AMP connector. We have not studied the pinouts.
Skeez Ball Connection
It may have been a good idea to use the same pin assignments as the dispenser on our circuit board, but this did not happen.
| Number of pins | 4 |
|---|---|
| Moulding type | receptacle |
| Contact type | sockets |
| Pitch (pin spacing) | 0.250in (6.25mm) |
| Pin 1 | !RUN (white) : Pull to GND to enable dispensing motor |
| Pin 2 | Black: GND |
| Pin 3 | Red: +12V |
| Pin 4 | !NOTCH (blue): Floats to 12V, pulled to GND when notch detected. |
Controller
Below is a simple controller for the DL-1275. Pull !DISPENSE momentarily low to start dispensing. As long as you pull it low long enough to get past the ticket notch, the circuit will then keep the dispenser running until it encounters another notch.The READY line is pulled low when the dispenser is running. Once dispensing moves past the ticket notch, READY will remain low until until the next notch is encountered and the dispenser shuts itself off. At this point, !DISPENSE can be pulled low again to start dispensing the next ticket.
If READY immediately returns to high after !DISPENSE is floated, then the dispenser is out of tickets. If READY never returns to high, the dispenser is jammed.
