The following instructions are for installation of an upgrade board kit in a Rowe
BC100/BC150. Prior to installation be sure to confirm the hopper, hopper drive motor, coin
count sensor, and red LED count emitter are in working condition.
1. Remove the hopper from the changer.
2. Insert a $5.00 bill so the Coin Dispenser Assembly releases most of the coins held in
escrow.
3. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
4. Remove the bill transport by sliding the transport forward until it "catches". Unplug the
connector from the right hand side, depress the release lever and slide the transport
forward out of the tracks.
5. Remove the bill box (4-50346-01) from the stacker assembly.
6. Remove the stacker assembly by unscrewing the two ¼" hex screws, it may be
necessary to hold the nuts under the assembly with a pair of pliers. Disconnect the
harness from the upper rear right hand side and pull the stacker assembly forward out
of the changer. Replace the two screws and nuts.
7. Remove the coin chute that channels the coins from the hopper to the coin cup. It is
held in place by two ¼" hex screws on the left hand side of the chute.
8. Remove the Power Control Center (65073501). Unscrew the two ¼" hex screws at the
very bottom of the changer cabinet. Begin sliding the power supply out of the changer
and twist it upright so the four wiring harness connectors are visible. Disconnect all four
of the wiring harness connectors and remove the Power Control Center.
9. Remove the Bill Changer Computer Control Center. Slide the board towards yourself.
When the board is about 60% out of the cabinet it should automatically "catch" on a
hook. Remove the four wiring harness connectors; there are three on the rear and one
on the bottom. Remove the green and yellow ground wire by unscrewing it from the
upper rear of the metal slide plate. The board can now be removed from the cabinet by
depressing the release latch that is attached to the side of the cabinet.
10. Unhook the harness at the bottom of the Coin Dispenser Assembly (6-50880-09).
Unscrew the 3/8" bolt at the top center of the assembly. Tilt the unit forward, and then
slide the assembly to the left so it is released from the side pivot hooks. Lift the
assembly up and out of the changer and place it in a work area.
11. The Coin Dispenser Assembly is converted to a direct payout system. The modification
of the assembly involves removing the two-bucket solenoids and permanently
positioning the internal coin diverting flaps. The electronics used to count the coins are
