COIN SEPARATION
See Figure 3
After the coin's validity has been determined the coin
rolls off the end of the coin rail and enters the
separator section of the acceptor. The UPPER
(coin tube) gate and the LOWER (cash box) gate
are opened and closed by their respective solenoids.
These solenoids are energized and de-energized by
an electrical signal from the acceptor logic board
based on the following criteria:
• the validity of the coin.
• the denomination of the coin.
• the status (full or empty) of the appropriate coin
tube.
The positions of these two gates cause the coin to be
routed to one of three places: the appropriate
changer coin tube, the vendor cash box, or if the coin
is rejected, the vendor coin return cup.

Section 3: Operation
VEND
Vend is a function of the vendor electronic controller
board. The vendor controller board accumulates all
credit information received from the coin changer.
As credit is accumulated in the vendor controller
board, vend selections can be made when their
respective vend price settings are equalled.
CHANGE STORAGE
See Figure 8
The low tube sensors in each coin tube continually Figure 7
report the (blocked / not blocked) coin level to the
microprocessor. This information is used to
determine the availability of change for change
payback, escrow and exact change condition.
The full tube sensors in each coin tube continually
report the (full / not full) status to the coin changer’s
logic board. The information is then used to
determine the placement of the next accepted coin.
This information controls the action of the acceptor
coin tube and cash box gates.
EXAMPLE: If the quarter coin tube is full (full
sensors blocked by coins) the acceptor coin tube
gate will remain closed and the cash box gate will
open each time a quarter is accepted, routing all
quarters to the vendor cash box via the changer coin
chute. After one or more quarters is paid out as
change, leaving the full sensor exposed (quarter tube
not full), the acceptor coin tube gate will open each
time a quarter is accepted, routing quarters to the
changer coin tube until it is full again.
NOTE: If the changer LO-$.25 option switch is set
to the on position, accepted quarters will be routed
to the cash box when the (middle $.25 tube sensor)
is blocked by coins.
