Cryptopay on fragamatic vacs

I want to add cryptopay to fragamatic combo vacs. The vacs have IDX timers on them. What is everyone doing about the time issue? When setting it up in cryptopay, u tell it how much & time per coin. The shampoo & fragrance have less time per coin. Is there way around this? Or do I have to set all times & pricing the same?
 
Just set the Cryptopay unit to coin mode and have it charge a set amount per swipe, then you wire it in along with the coin acceptor signal wire.
 
I currently have my configured for count down with a 1.50 start up. I have the button models and add .25 per press. I want site consistency and have count up in the bays. I plan to convert to dixmor timers and go count up. I will have to charge the same price for all functions. My spray fragrance and carpet shampoo income is relatively small and I'm not really worried about it. Heck, maybe overall usage will go up if is cheap enough.
 
If you use the Dixmor LED-6S you can charge different prices for the vac and fragrance/shampoo.

FWIW, I price fragrance and shampoo startup the same as vac and give lots of time for both, 1:10 for fragrance and 3 minutes for shampoo, all for $1.00. They use the heck out of the shampooers and spend even more vacuuming up all the foam. The regular vacs do about $1,000 a year, the combo units do about $3,000.
 
This is the way I have set it up. I discovered because the price difference per coin from switching from vac to shampoo. It causes the timer for cryptopay to be off. Which wouldn't be a big deal, other than if customer drives off because vac turned off. The next person could hit button and add more time on last person account. Since you can only set one time on the configuration. Example: Vac 1.00 for 4 min, shampoo 1.50 for 3 min. So time per coin will be different.
 
This is what i figured I would have to do. Didn't know if anybody else figured a way around it the price difference. Thanks
 
If you configure it so the button is inactive and the customer has to swipe their card to add time in coin pulses, the timer difference won't be an issue.
