Attention Please: American Changer is now building in a Surge Suppressor on every main logic board made after September 1st, 1998. This will help eliminate power related noise problems for our customers. It will not protect you from large voltage spikes or lightning strikes over 150VAC. If this is a concern for your area of business, we recommend purchasing a surge protector locally NOTE: A POWER STRIP IS NOT A SURGE PROTECTOR. Thank You, American Changer Corp.
UNCRATING AND SET-UP Remove your Series 2000 changer from the shipping box. Open the door. (The T-handle is a screw-in type and therefor, must be turned at least 10 times counter-clockwise until it opens.) Inspect for any connectors or components that may have been dislodged during shipping. The lock and keys for your changer will be inside the manila envelope along with this manual. To install the lock, insert the cylinder into the round hole in the middle of the T-handle and push until it stops.
cord is not rubbing against any sharp edges or is being strained in any way. Then mount the line cord clamp to the studs at the hole. Tighten securely. Installation is finished and you can proceed to the “Filling the Hopper” section. 18. In order to continue you will need to purchase electrical cable conduit, a standard 3-prong AC wall outlet and 12gauge wire. We highly recommend HIRING a qualified electrician to perform the following! A.
HOW TO USE THE BONUS TABLE Think of the bonus table as the total amount of EXTRA tokens after the regular payout, that you wish to receive: EXAMPLE: PAYOUT: 4 tokens for $1, 24 for a $5, 52 for a $10, 120 for a $20. 24 tokens = $1 extra in tokens 52 tokens = $3 extra in tokens 120 tkns = $10 extra in tokens. Now go to the bonus table, find where the $5 column =$1 Look over to the $10 and go down until you see $3. Finally go to the $20 column to where = $10.
HOPPER ERROR CODE DEFINITIONS Coin/Token Sizes The hoppers will automatically adjust to dispense coins/tokens in size from 20-30 mm in diameter and 1.25 - 3.5 mm in thickness. There is an option available to dispense smaller coins. Error A nickel is approximately 21 mm, a quarter is approximately 25mm. A Susan B. Anthony is 28mm Left Hopper Three green LED indicators are fitted on the hoppers and are visible in the section where the coins exit the hoppers.
1. After 2 minutes the EPROM shuts off the validator if the coins are not paid out correctly. The “Empty” LED will flash once per second. 2. At this point the three options open are to attempt repair on your own, call your distributor, or return the defective hopper to American Changer. B. Indications for a blocked coin optic or bad hopper logic board are the out-of-service LED on the outside of the changer is lit and the red LED on the main logic board is lit and flickers off once per second. 1.
2. Interfacing the Maka NB-10 with the ValiChanger To interface the Maka NB-10 validator with the ValiChanger the following settings should be used for the “$1 = one pulse” configuration. See the validator manual for full details. The 18-pin interface connector should not be used. If the continuity is infinity, then replace that hopper.
