Auto Sentry Cash Management

The Auto Sentry Service Unit Screen can be used to perform all Cash Management operations for the Auto Sentry components.  Auto Sentry Devices are, by default, set up to use the Safe; therefore, all journal entries will be verified by selecting the Safe device under Cash Management Journals.  Components and their functions are as follows:

NOTE: Verifying a Coin Hopper will dispense and count all the coins in the hopper.  Site personnel should have a means to collect the coins as they are dispensed before verifying a Coin Hopper.

The Cash Management operations that can be performed while in the Auto Sentry Service Unit Screen are as follows:

  • Add – Add money or tokens to an Auto Sentry component.

  • Bump Shift Reserved for Auto Sentry devices not configured to use the Safe for Cash Management.

  • Verify – Verify physical cash against what the service unit screen shows.

  • Close Terminal - Selecting this option will enter the Auto Sentry device into a closed state where no transactions can be performed.

    Tip:  It’s very important to manually Verify these Journal entries during the shift because it’s more complicated to make any corrections after you have closed the shift.
