Arcade machines (especially newer ones) may have a different type of 3-wire coin “comparator” mech, similar to these:
Arcades using this style of coin mech need slightly different wiring, but are still easy to hook up.
Use the following wiring:
| Arcade cable side | Rfpay cable side |
|---|---|
| pin 1: 12v DC (typically red) | Red connector (HT) |
| pin 2: COIN SIGNAL (typically white) | Blue* connector (COIN A) |
| pin 3: GND (typically black) | Black connector (GND), |
| white connector (COIN B) | |
| [connect both together] | |
| pin 4: [not connected] |
(*Rfpay arcade harness cables sometimes use Green wire instead of Blue, they’re electrically the same.)
If you need any help with this just contact us. If you send us pictures / model#s, etc, that is helpful.

If it’s still not working, try also adjusting the credit pulse timings:
