Device Overview

The Coin Validator

Coins inserted into the Coin Validator (3)

(See Figure 3-1 ) pass through the Coin Insertion

Funnel (11) into the validation area of the device.

Here the coin’s properties are compared with the

values contained in the stored acceptance bands

data. Rejected coins from the Coin Validator pass

into the return area tray of the Vending Machine. In

the event of a sale, accepted coins are either

directed to one the four Tube Cassettes (6) or into

the Cash Box below them.

Page 16

Section 3 Optipay™ CC DESIGN

Return Lever

The Return Lever (See Figure 3-1 [1]) on the top of the Coin Validator is operated by using the Vending Machine’s Return Button. Operating this lever is necessary if inserted coins are awaiting return, or a coin jam caused by stuck coins require removal. When the return lever is operated, the measurement and validation area of the Coin Validator opens so that all objects within the Coin Validator are directed to the return area tray (See Figure 3-1 ).

Keyboard

The front of the Coin Validator is equipped with a five key touch-sensitive membrane Keyboard (See Figure 3-1 [4]) which allows filling of the Payout Unit's change tubes before the device is put into operation or emptying them for inventory (See section 4 "Functions" and section 7 "Operation" for further information).

Pilot Lights

There is a Pilot Light set of three Light-Emitting Diode (LED) at the front of the Coin Validator positioned beneath one another colored; Green, Yellow, and Red respectively (See Figure 3-1 [9]).

These LED Pilot Lights are mainly used for quick fault diagnosis, but can also indicate the units current status in normal operation conditions (See Figure 3-1 ).

If the top Green LED lights or flashes, no faults are indicated and the device is working properly. If the middle Yellow LED flashes there is a definite general fault indicated that usually can be easily remedied. If the bottom Red LED flashes, a fault that must be remedied by a service technician is indicated. (also see the section 14 "Trouble Shooting" appendix).

The Payout Unit

The Payout Unit consists of the four tube cassette

and the payout set. The device is equipped with

filling level sensors and tube counters to monitor

each tube cassette’s inventory.

Tube Cassette

The Tube Cassette (See Figure 3-1 [6] and Figure

3-6 [1]) incorporates four change tubes with

different diameters for collecting four user coin

types, available for vending to a customer. A

sticker located at the top of the Tube Cassette iden-

tifies which tube accepts a particular denomination

coin value.

The tube coin storage capacity depends on the

thickness of each coin type (example: approxi-

mately 87 U.S. 25

Section 3 Optipay™ CC DESIGN

If at any time another combination of tube coins is required, the appropriate cassette can be ordered from the JCM and simply exchanged in the assembly (See Figure 3-6 [1]).

Figure 3-6 Tube Cassette Removal/Replacement

Payout Module

Vending change is done by two motors installed at the bottom of the Payout Set (See Figure 3-1 [6]), which rotate in order to vend the desired coins.

Filling Level Sensors

The capacity of each tube is monitored by four independent sensors viewing the number of it’s related coins:

•

An empty sensor is positioned at the height of

8 to 10 collected coins

•

A 50% sensor approximately half way up

•

A 75% sensor near the top, and

•

A full sensor is positioned at the top rim of

each tube.

In order for the tube counters to function without fault when the change tubes are filled by inserting coins through the Coin Changer, or when the tubes are filled by removing the four Tube Cassette, the filling level sensors must check the tube counter’s status after every coin acceptance and coin vend. If the number of coins does not correspond with the measured tube capacity level, the tube count will be corrected depending on the respective tubes coin thickness.

If a tubes "full" sensor displays the message "tube full", all further coins for this tube will be automatically directed to the Cash Box. Only when coins have been vended again from this tube, will more coins be allowed into the tube.

The left side motor is responsible for vending the left “

4 FUNCTIONS

This section describes the main functions of the Optipay™ CC A-66 Coin Changer with particular emphasis on:

•

Filling and emptying the change tubes

•

Considering the maximum number of coins

configured for the change tube

•

Considering the configured security stock of

tube coins

•

Inhibiting certain coin types

•

Disabling the inventory keys

•

Configuring tokens

•

Sending the telephone/currency code to the

Vending Machine control

•

Correcting the tube counter automatically

•

Resetting the tube counter

•

Considering the individual wake-up time

•

Accepting and converting a second currency

coinage (optional)

•

Minimizing string manipulation (optional)

Only these functions will be described in this section. If adjustable functions require changing, see section 7 "Operation" for direct Coin Changer adjustments, and section 11 "Configuration" for using the configuration tools to reset them.

Filling and Emptying Change Tubes

The simplest and quickest way to fill and empty the tube cassette is to remove the cassette (See Figure 4-1 ). This allows for coin sorting or the removal of several coins at once.

If the correct number of tube coins is required to simplify coin management, the change tubes can be filled by inserting individual coins into the Coin Changer one at a time. The tube counters register every coin inserted or paid out when activated by the keyboard (see section 6 "Energizing" and section 7 "Operation").

The tube cassette can also be both filled and emptied in this manor with the help of the PC software

or the Palm Pilot 11 "Configuration").

handheld software (see section

Figure 4-1 Tube Cassette Removal

Coins can vend individually, (e.g. for test purposes), consecutively for inventory purposes, or before device transportation.

If the tubes must always be filled or emptied to a certain capacity by service personal, a “float level” can be configured (see section 11 "Configuration"). This filling capacity is irrelevant for normal use and only guarantees that a known number of coins is present for accounting purposes. If the “float level” function is activated, Cash Box coins will not be accepted. Consequently, the Cash Box must not be emptied prior to refilling the tubes because the unaccepted coins will not be counted during a refill.

Configuring Change Tube Coin Maximum

The Coin Changer can be configured so each change tube will accept a fixed number of coins. When this fixed number is reached in a tube, all subsequent coins destined for this tube will be automatically directed to the Cash Box. Only when coins have been vended from this tube, will more coins be allowed to enter it. (See section 11 "Configuration").

If this function is unused, the full sensor located at the top of the tube determines when the coins will be directed into the Cash Box and no longer into the coin tube, irrespective of the number of coins inserted.

In thi

Security Stock Considerations

If a security stock is configured for the individual tubes, the Coin Changer will not vend a minimum number of tube coins. The security stock can be set between 1 and 9 coins. It should be set higher for coins which have stacking and edge standing problems rather than those that lay flat, as these coin types do not fall easily when they land on a stack higher than the coin (see section 11 "Configuration").

The Coin Changer can also be configured in such a way that the security stock can be paid out of the Vending Machine, or the security stock can be delivered to the Vending Machine, when the machine polls the capacity level (see section 11 "Configuration").

Inhibiting Certain Coin Types

If certain coin types are no longer being accepted as Vending Machine payment (e.g. because too many false coins of a particular type are in circulation), these coins types can either be inhibited directly on the device by setting specific DIP switches on the rear DIP Switch block (see Chapter 7 "Operation"), or by applying the PC software or

the Palm Pilot section 11 "Configuration").

handheld software instructions (see

Disabling the Inventory Keys

The inventory keys constitute a part of the Coin Changer’s front Keyboard: (e.g., keys , ,

and ).

These keys allow the vending of one, several or all coins from the corresponding Left, Middle Left, Middle Right and Right change tube. Should operation of these keys no longer be desired, they can be inhibited, or configured in such a way that they can be enabled by Vending Machine control (see section 11 "Configuration").

Configuring Tokens

The Coin Changer contains three coin channel memory locations for configuring a maximum of three different type tokens. Therefore, a new token’s measured value can be directly assigned to a coin channel on the Vending Machine by inserting the corresponding tokens into it. The acceptance band generated will then accept these tokens for payment within the Vending Machine.

In addition, you can choose between a normal and wide acceptance band for the configured tokens.

However, a wide acceptance band should only be set if a limited number of the tokens are available for generating the token’s value measurement, or if the tokens show very large tolerance values. Otherwise, there is the danger that a large number of false coins will be accepted.

Tokens can either be configured so the customer gets his selected product free of charge (free vend tokens), or configured to assign a certain set denomination (value tokens). The Coin Changer can either direct the accepted tokens to the cashbox or send them back to the customer in the return tray.

Chapter 11 "Configuration" reveals which configuration tool can be used to configure tokens.

Sending the Telephone/Currency Code to the Vending Machine Controller

Depending on which state or country the machine is installed, a telephoned currency code can be remotely sent to the Vending Machine control and set into the Coin Changer (e.g. for setting menu and display text).

For more details on how to change the pre-programmed telephone/currency code, please see section 11 "Configuration".

Tube Counter Automatic Correction

Usually after every coin acceptance and pay out, the Coin Changer compares the tube counter status and the sensor’s measured fill level, and, if necessary, corrects the tube counter data.

If the Vending Machine control is unable to process the automatic tube counter correction, the Coin Changer can be set so that the tube count will not be automatically corrected (see section 11 "Configuration").

s case, the change tubes should be filled by inserting the coins through the Coin Changer and not by directly placing the coins into the tube cassettes (see section 6 "Energizing" or section 7 "Operation").

Resetting the Tube Counter

After the change tubes have being emptied following repairs with tube counter correction switched OFF, the Coin Changer’s tube counters should be reset for start up. This is so the tube counter will begin to count from zero again when the tubes are

4-2

FUNCTIONS Optipay™ CC Section 4

being refilled, rather than from the stored number of coins set in the register (see section 11 "Configuration").

Individual Wake-up Time Considerations

For battery operated Coin Changers with an external wake-up line, a specific time period can be set that specifies how long the Coin Changer remains ON after the last Vending Machine poll (wake-up time) (see section 11 "Configuration").

When the wake-up time has elapsed, the Coin Changer automatically switches itself OFF and must be re-initialized again by the Vending Machine control system activating the external wake-up line.

Accepting and Converting a Second Currency Type (optional)

If the Coin Changer needs to accept two currency types, the second currency value can be converted to the main currency value using a set rate. The second currency value is rounded up or down respectively in such a way that it can be managed

by the main currency counter. Chapter 11 "Configuration" describes which configuration tool is used to program a second currency.

Minimizing String Manipulation (optional)

The Coin Changer can be optionally equipped with a String Sensor. This device recognizes coins inserted into the device connected to a string and inhibits this type of coin from being accepted. By recognizing this security condition these coin types will not generate a credit value. The sensitivity of the String Sensor can be individually set for each unit (see section 11 "Configuration").

Following a string manipulation attempt it is possible to reject the next 100 tube coins inserted by directing them to the Cash Box instead of into the coin tubes. Coins directed to the Cash Box are less prone to manipulation, so further attempts at string manipulation will obviously fail (see section 11 "Configuration").

6 ENERGIZING

This section provides energizing (power-up) instructions for the Optipay™ CC A-66 Coin Changer.

Although the individual functions of the A-66 Coin Changer are pre-programmed by the manufacturer to customer specifications, the first time the device is activated, the four Tube Cassette change tubes must be filled with relevant coin types.

In many cases the Vending Machine’s controls will offer a filling function. In this case they should be used, because the control unit might not accept the filling level capacity of the Coin Changer.

If the Cash Box contains coins, it must be emptied, otherwise new coins directed to the Cash Box will not be counted.

To begin the energizing process:

1. Press the Plus key (See Figure 6-1 [4]). An audible signal will sound and the Green

LED (See Figure 6-1 [1]) will begin flashing indicating that the Coin Changer is no longer in a standard operating mode and has now entered the filling level mode.

2. Insert the coin tubes. The Coin Validator’s tube counter meters in the accepted coins, and the Coin Changer sorts the corresponding coin type into its preconfigured tube until either:

–

The full sensor is covered, or

–

The maximum coin number is configured,

–

The float level is reached.

If the “float” function is active, tube coins inserted thereafter will not be accepted and will be directed to the return area tray. Otherwise, they will be accepted and directed to the Cash Box.

If all the coin tubes are full:

3. Press the Plus key again. Two audible signals will sound and the Green

LED will light constantly indicating that the Coin Changer is no longer in the filling level mode and has returned to the operating mode.

If no coins are inserted in a 30 second time period, the Coin Changer will automatically return to the operating mode, without

having to press the Plus time.

7 OPERATION

This section explains how to enter functions and settings directly on the Optipay™ CC A-66 Coin Changer using its various operating controls (e.g., the front panel Keyboard and the DIP Switch Block), rather than using the additional programming tool accessories.

Vending Change by Using the Keyboard or Emptying the Tube Cassette

Coins can be either vended from the change tubes individually if a coin acceptance test is desired, or consecutively when the tubes need to be completely emptied (e.g., before transit, for repairs, or in case of an inventory).

Membrane inventory keys , , and apply to the "left", "middle left", "middle right", and "right" coin tubes respectively.

If the Coin Changer is configured so the inventory keys are disabled, these membrane keys will not be active. The device is either configured so the keyboard can be enabled by the Vending Machine’s control system, or so the keyboard must be initially activated by one of the various configuration tools (see section 11 "Configuration").

To vend tube coins individually, simply press the corresponding , , and key. One coin

will pay out each time the specific key is pressed.

To vend several tube coins:

1. Hold down the desired , , or membrane key for approximately five seconds. The corresponding tube will automatically empty without having to press the respective key again.

2. Now, press any other key. The coins will stop dispensing if not already completely emptied.

Emptying the Change Tubes to a Certain Fill Level

If a “float” level is configured, the change tubes can be emptied to the tube counter’s set float level value.

Emptying the change tubes to the set float level:

1. Press the Plus key. An audible signal will sound and the Green

LED will begin flashing indicating that the Coin Changer is no longer in a standard operating mode and has now entered the filling level mode.

2. Hold down any key, for approximately five seconds (the Green LED illuminates). All tubes will automatically empty to the preconfigured float level. Afterwards, two audible signals will sound and the Green LED will light constantly indicating that the Coin Changer is no longer in the filling level mode, and has returned to the operating mode.

Validator Change Filling

After an inventory or repair the tube cassette’s four change tubes can be refilled with relevant coin types through the Coin Validator using the keyboard.

If the Cash Box contains coins, it must be emptied, otherwise new coins directed to the Cash Box will not be counted.

11 CONFIGURATION

This section explains how to configure the Optipay™ CC A-66 Coin Changer for use.

In order to test the A-66 Coin Changer, react quickly to new false coin occurrences, and make individual adjustments in the workshop or on site, three different service tools are available to facilitate these Coin Changer requirements.

This section includes:

•

A presentation of the individual service tools required depending on where the Coin Validator is to be tested or configured

•

Lists of the functions which can be set with each service tool

•

Lists of the equipment required for testing or configuration using the respective tool

•

Brief descriptions detailing how to connect the various service tools to the Coin Changer

Workshop Testing the Coin Changer

If Coin Changer functionality needs to be checked without making any adjustments, the JCM Test Station is sufficient for this purpose. The Test Station is composed of the following two components:

•

Test Software WinMDB© and

•

Tester G-19.0654 for Vending Machine simulation and MDB functions testing

Workshop Testing and/or Configuring the Coin Changer

If the Coin Changer requires testing and configuration in the workshop, the following three JCM configuration solutions are available:

•

A PC programming station consisting of:

–

WinEMP© configuration and diagnostics software, including a card reader and a chip card

–

Tester G-19.0641 for checking the power supply

•

A Palm Pilot® handheld containing:

–

PalmEMP© and/or PalmA66© software installed

–

Tester G-19.0641or G55.0338 for checking the power supply.

If the vending unit does not require testing, it is unnecessary to dismantle the entire Coin Changer. In this case it is just sufficient to remove the Coin Validator from the Coin Changer in order to configure or test it.

If it is difficult to connect the G-19.0641 tester to the 5-pin PCB Edge Connector Plug located behind the Coin Changer housing, and it is more desirable to connect the G-55.0338 tester by means of the MDB connecting cable, an additional 8-pin RJ-45 PC-Adaptor (plug and cable G 55.0348) can be obtained from JCM for this purpose. This will allow the Coin Changer to connect directly to a PC using the easily accessible 8-pin RJ-45 jack on the top right corner of the device. This will also allow testing of all Coin Changer functions and not just the MDB functions available through the 5-pin pcb edge connector plug.

On-Site Testing and/or Configuring the Coin Changer in a Vending Machine

If the Coin Changer must be tested or configured in a Vending Machine on site, the following mobile JCM configuration tools are available:

•

A Palm Pilot® Handheld with PalmEMP© and

PalmA66

software installed

PC Programming Station and Palm

A-66 Coin Changer

Appendix A

A TROUBLE SHOOTING

If a Coin Changer fault occurs, the pilot lights at the top of the Coin Validator will indicate the fault’s location.

The following JCM diagnostic service tools are available to detail diagnose the fault’s cause (see the "Diagnosis Using the Setting Module" area in this appendix, as well as the in related information located in sections 1 and 11 of this manual).

Front Panel LED Indicators

Quick Pilot Light Diagnosis

If the Green LED at the top of the Coin Validator is lit or is flashing, no faults are indicated and the device is working properly (See Figure A-1).

If the Yellow LED in the middle of the Coin Validator flashes there is a definite fault which generally can be easily remedied.

If the Red LED at the bottom of the Coin Validator flashes, a fault that must be remedied by a service technician is probable.

The label at the top of the Coin Validator may help in locating the fault and Table A-1 lists their meanings.

Diagnosis Using a Palm Pilot® Setting Module

If a Coin Changer fault occurs, the Palm Pilot® Setting Module displays the appropriate status or error message as soon as you connect it to the RJ-45 interface jack on the Coin Changer’s front panel (see chapter 11 "Configuration"). Depending on the operating mode or fault, three status or fault messages are displayed as follows:

•

INFO messages: used in general only for

information about particular operating states

•

AN/AB messages: indicate where a coin was

accepted (AN) or why a coin was rejected (AB)

•

FE messages: indicate why the Coin Changer

no longer functions (Table A-2).
