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.

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).

Board (PCB) edge connector (See Figure 3-2 [11]) which allows connection of the Coin Validator to a programming PC and a JCM Test Station.
