Some things need to be mentioned about this thing. The datasheet is dead wrong about current draw. It says 65mA. In reality, I am reading about 160mA nominal, and when you put a coin in it spikes to more than 250mA. Also, the “coin inhibitor” feature is not something you can control by normal means. It has an internal sensor at the exit of the device, if the coin fails to leave the exit and stays inside the device, it will inhibit. It will also inhibit when the device has no power. Other than that, the only way to inhibit manually is to cut the wires to the solenoid on the side and bypass it through a transistor you control. Or kill power to it… But when you return power to it again, it beeps loudly.
