TOP ENTRY

For top entry applications the acceptor can be mounted in a 4"
moulded channel, a 5" metal channel or an industry standard
channel, forming part of the host machine. The channel applications
require the use of an adaptor.

In addition to this a motorised reject unit can be mounted onto the
4" channel so as to enhance the coin entry and reject functions,
particularly where these are not adjacent to the fixture point in the
host machine. For connection details see the appendix.

CashFlow 330 acceptor Applications Design Guide

PRODUCT OPERATION

MECHANICAL

The discriminator comprises a flight deck and lid which together
form the coin control and flight path. On the inside of the flight deck
lid there is a mechanical device incorporated near the coin entry
point. This device is known as the coin deflector and brings coins
under control by either removing or dampens their inherent kinetic
energy. It also acts as a cotton catcher.

Flight Deck

Flight Deck

Lid

Coin Deflector

Coin Path

There is a hinge at the top right hand side of the flight deck which
allows coupling of the lid via an intermediate component, known as
the flight deck lid arm. This allows the lid to locate accurately to the
flight deck independently of the hinge. The lid also maintains a
parallel coin throat by being spaced from the deck on three bosses
which locate the lid to the deck.

The design of the lid arm hinge area allows the lid to open to 180
deg. relative to the deck. The opening is restricted to just over 100
deg. by the back cover to prevent the lid fouling other parts such as
front plates etc.

The action of the hinge spring allows the lid to remain open when
past about 100 deg. and will snap shut when closed to about 60 deg.

6 ©, Mars, Inc., 1994.

CashFlow 330 acceptor Applications Design Guide

although the lid will need to be pressed to ensure that it is correctly
seated against the deck.

Clearance of any debris or jammed coins from the acceptor is
carried out by opening the lid. This is done by pressing the reject
lever which is located behind the coin entry.

The reject lever assembly forms part of the back cover assembly
and there are versions available for front and top entry mounted
acceptors. They both clip on to the discrimination module.

For front plate mounted acceptors the reject lever assembly is
located on the back of the back cover.

For channel mounted acceptors the reject lever assembly is located
on the top of the back cover.

The lid opening is articulated so as to remain essentially parallel to
the flight deck as the gap between them is increased. This means
that the acceptor can be defined within a smaller total volume
envelope while offering the best coin jam clearance. This means
that the edge of the lid furthest from the hinge does not have to open
more to give greater clearance at the hinge end.

The discriminator also provides the mounting for the PCB.

ELECTRICAL

The CashFlow330 acceptor products are based on a 12V serial
interface. The electrical circuitry is contained in a PCB which is
mounted on the rear of the flight deck behind the back cover.

All internal connections to this PCB are via flexible loom which is
soldered directly to the PCB. This connects to the sensors on the
flight deck, lid, accept gate solenoid and optical coin strobes. Any
external connections to the discrimination PCB are via 0.1” staked
pins accessible through apertures in the back cover. Additional
staked pins on the discrimination PCB are provided to allow optional
interface PCB’s to be fitted.

The base acceptors provide an asynchronous serial interface to the



host machine and CashFlow
product can be provided by fitting one of the optional interface
PCB’s which are plugged directly onto the discrimination PCB. The
base acceptor operates from a 12V supply but can also be
configured for 24V operation by using the correct interface PCB
option.

terminal products. A parallel interface

Coins that are correctly discriminated are routed to the accept exit
by energising the accept gate. Coins that are rejected are routed to
the reject exit. Accepted coins generate a coin output signal if they
pass correctly through the coin strobes in the accept gate module.
The accept exit can be either on the right or left as viewed from the
front of the acceptor.

CashFlow 330 acceptor Applications Design Guide

The accept gate module contains a solenoid operated gate, optical
coin strobes and coin routing components. There are three variants
available and the module clips and plugs onto the flight deck.The
coin exits for both accepted and rejected coins are defined by the
type of accept gate fitted.

The electronics on the discrimination PCB operate from 5V
generated by an on-board regulator from the 12V customer supply.If
an optional interface PCB is fitted then the 12V supply comes from
this PCB.

OPERATIONAL

There are some functions of the acceptor which are common across
the whole CashFlow product range. These include coin

discrimination, control and communication.
When a coin is put through the acceptor it’s validity is determined by

measuring certain parameters. It also looks at the coin type status
to define whether the payment is a valid coin or token, or an invalid
coin. Finally, the inhibit status is checked. If the coin is not inhibited,
then it will be accepted and the accept gate opened. Acceptors fitted
with customer interfaces will now activate the coin output lines.

If a coin or token is rejected the accept gate will not open and any
further coins will be inhibited for a period of 500ms. If the following
coin is also rejected then this time period will be restarted.

If the reject lever is operated an Escrow Return (ER) message will
be generated and, if a 0V common interface is fitted, the ER output
will be activated.

DUAL POLARITY

This interface operates from a nominal 12V supply and self
configures to either positive or negative common operation. In either
mode of operation this interface offers 6 coin output lines, an output
common, 6 individual inhibit inputs and power connections.

Dual Polarity Interface PCB

Coin outputs - positive common

For positive common operation the OPCOM line must be positive
with respect to GND and the coin output lines should be connected
through a load to a voltage more negative than the OPCOM line.

Coin outputs - negative common

For negative common operation the OPCOM line must be negative
with respect to GND or connected to GND. The coin output lines
should be connected through a load to a voltage more positive than
the OPCOM line.

With either of these options it is possible to operate in a pulsed
mode by allowing the OPCOM line to float until it is polled by the
host machine.

When a coin is accepted one of the coin output lines becomes
active.

FIELD CONFIGURATION

The CashFlow® 330 acceptor product offers various field
configuration options. There are two methods available: via an

®

interface PCB (MMI) or by use of a Mars
held terminal.

VIA MAN MACHINE INTERFACE (MMI)

The Man Machine Interface is designed to provide a simple stand­alone interface which allows frequently used functions to be
accessed and varied by an operator or route person.

The actual interface consists of a 4-bit DIL switch on the machine
interface PCB. The following functions are available:

• Inhibit an individual coin

• Enable an individual coin

Route Alpha 250 hand

4-bit DIL switch

Set to enable a coin

To change the function of the product there is a sequence of events
that must be followed in order:

1 Switch off power and remove the acceptor module from

the machine.
2 Disconnect the loom(s).
3 Remove the interface PCB cover by pressing

downwards in the direction of the arrow on the cover.
4 Re-connect the loom(s).
5 Switch on power to the acceptor module.

Enter Key: used to change between the address and data displays.

Other Facilities Of The Terminal

The terminal has built-in features to speed up its use, including the
ability to scan at a higher speed with the keys auto repeating, to
automatically roll over from its highest to lowest address and to
inform the operator should a communication error occur.

Auto Repeating Keys

If either the UP or DOWN keys are kept pressed they automatically
repeat. The repeat speed of the key increases the longer the key is
held down.

CashFlow 330 acceptor Applications Design Guide

Double Click Hotkeying

If a key is doubled clicked (pressed twice in quick succession) then
this causes the address number to increment by a larger amount.
e.g. if the user starts at address number 1 then double clicks the UP
key, the address will jump to 40, double click again the address will
jump to address 100 etc. You can also double click the DOWN key
to decrement by larger amounts.

Using The Terminal

As soon as the terminal is connected to an acceptor it powers up
and interrogates the product.

The terminal display will clear and briefly show a message that
indicates the version of software in the terminal. A display of [0 1.0]
means software with a version number of 1.0 is fitted in the terminal.

Power up message

After a few seconds the display will show the number [1.] or [1.-]. Not
all configuration items are applicable to every product but all the
address values are shown on the display. If the value for the
address is applicable to the product a dash will be present at the far
right position on the display. The value can then be accessed and
changed if required

If an error occurs with the communication between the terminal and
the acceptor the display will show an error message of four half
height zeroes.

Error message

This message will stay on the display. Pressing the ENTER key will
then revert the display to showing the current address. If the error
occurred while updating an address then the value of that address
should be checked as it may not have been updated correctly.

As the screen is capable of only displaying four digits at any one
time the number displayed on the screen can be scrolled if it is
greater than 9999 by using the LEFT and RIGHT keys. The left or
rightmost digit will flash indicating an extra digit can be examined by
use of the scrolling keys e.g. Value is 12345

LIQUIDS

Water

The units inclusive of PCBs will be splash protected.
The coin entry encourages excess water towards the reject path on

an accept right product, and the front of the product out of the coin
path. Coin stall under these conditions will be minimised.

Salt water

Prolonged exposure in a salt laden atmosphere will lead to PCB
corrosion damage. Suitable packaging will be required when
shipped by sea.

Other Liquids

Exposure to these will cause impairment of function. To include:
dilute carbonic acid, dilute citric acid, carbonated drinks, beer, tea,
coffee, chocolate, soup, syrup and sugar residue, uric acid.

Comments:

• Certain beverages and the dilute acids may cause
similar effects to salt water if they contact the PCB’s.

• Performance when wet will be similar to that described
for water.

• Liquids which leave a residue on drying which affects
the passage of coins will cause malfunction
