Coin machine relay retrofit

Relay controller for coin-operated machines that need QR or API start.

Use QuLink when a coin machine, amusement device, massage chair, laundry machine, or timed service device needs payment approval to become a pulse or relay action.

Project fit

For coin, token, and timed self-service devices

Buyer signals

  • Machines accept pulse, relay, dry contact, or start signal input.
  • Payment should move from coin/token to QR, app, or backend approval.
  • The project needs timed sessions, result callbacks, or online status.
  • Operators want a field retrofit before OEM design.

What to send first

  • Machine photo or existing board photo
  • Interface or wiring note if available
  • Target action after API command or payment
  • Whether telemetry or data upload is required

Not the right fit if

  • You only need a pure payment acquiring account and no machine-side control.
  • There is no physical machine action after payment, booking, or API approval.
  • The project has no machine photo, board photo, wiring note, or interface clue yet.

Integration model

Keep the machine behavior, replace the trigger source

QuLink does not need to replace every machine controller. It can often connect to the existing start path and report the result.

Machine interface
pulse input, relay output, dry contact, sensor input
Trigger source
QR payment, payment callback, app approval, operator panel
Control output
pulse count, relay duration, timed run, unlock, stop
Data returned
session.started, session.completed, fault, online status

Workflow

From machine interface to API-controlled result.

Find the start input

Identify coin acceptor wiring, relay terminals, start button, or controller input.

Set trigger rule

Define pulse width, relay channel, duration, and payment reference.

Install sample

Validate with one machine before fleet rollout.

Tune deployment

Adjust enclosure, wiring harness, firmware, and operations workflow.

API example

A clear server command or webhook for the machine-side action.

The exact command fields depend on machine interface, firmware profile, and whether payment or your own app triggers the action.

POST /v1/devices/COIN-21/commands
{
  "command": "trigger_relay",
  "source": "payment_callback",
  "machine_action": {
    "channel": 1,
    "duration_ms": 1000
  }
}

Start the project

Send the first machine details before writing a full spec.

Send the coin acceptor photo, start wiring, target machine action, session rule, and installation environment.

Useful first message
  • Machine type and target country
  • Machine photo, board photo, or wiring photo
  • Action after API command or payment
  • Data upload and estimated quantity

FAQ

Questions buyers usually ask before a sample test.

Is relay control enough for every coin machine?

No. Some machines need pulse simulation, serial integration, or OEM review, which is why photos are the first step.

Can QuLink support multiple channels?

Yes, channel count is selected based on machine wiring and deployment needs.

Can it upload status?

Yes, if the project includes sensors, status lines, or supported data sources.
