5. Mechanical Description

5.1 General

The hopper is mounted in a machine via the base plate.
Electrical connection to the hopper is made via the 12-pin socket on the base plate which mates with
the corresponding plug on the hopper body. Coins are stored in the cash box section of the hopper
and fed onto the elevator belt via a passage in the centre plate. The cut-out in the centre plate has
been designed to regulate the flow of coins onto the belt. The stirrer agitates the coins in the coin box
in order to minimise the occurrence of bridging. The elevator belt is driven by a motor, gearbox, and
idler gear. Coins are picked up at the bottom of the belt and carried up to the exit window. Optical
sensors in the exit window detect the coins as they roll out of the hopper.
A cable connects the main control board to the 12 way socket and carries all power supplies and
control signals.

5.2 Removal of the Electronics and Opto Sensor Board.

All the electronics and sensors are placed on one board located behind the exit door at the side of the
hopper. Slide the yellow button to the opposite position and remove the exit door where the electronics
are mounted. Taking out the board for cleaning the optic sensors is a matter of seconds.
Warning: be careful by re-inserting the board back in the hopper not to damage the cable located at
the back of the board!

5.3 Track guard Removal and Refitting

Firstly, locate cut away slots in Centre Plate and End Plate at the base of the track guard
opposite the PCB. Push track guard up to reveal a gap between body moulding and the guard.
Insert broad flat bladed screwdriver or equivalent into gap and gently lever out the guard until the
leading edge is above the outside edge of the body mouldings. Now slide the guard down
towards the cut out and gradually withdraw it. Slide back the track guard to refit.
