CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Introduction

The Gryphon has many features that allow the product to be called a change manager
rather than a change giver. In addition to the high capacity six tube cassette, these features
enable the Gryphon to more effectively manage the operation of the unit and to optimize the
float levels of the machine and the change payout. These features provide an opportunity for
the operator to optimize vend revenue by minimizing the amount of time the unit operates in
exact change mode.

Float to Level

What is Float to Level?
Each tube can be filled to a specific level, after which the coins are routed to the cash box.
This is the traditional float style, also known as Par. To set this up, enter the total number of
coins of that type that you want to store in the changer. This level applies to all tubes holding
the same type of coin. For example, if the level was 30, and the coins were stored in three
tubes, there will be ten coins in each tube.

Float to Value

What is Float to Value?
This feature gives the customer a simple set up and improved audit process. They use this if
they want $32.25 in the tubes but want the changer to compute and dynamically alter the
ratio of coins in the tubes and give the best mix of coins ready for change.
How does it work?
The Gryphon continually computes coin levels for each tube based upon whether tubes are
naturally replenished or depleted and how often the tube is used for change. It will
dynamically adjust the mix of coins to make best use of the coins it most typically
encounters, adjusting to your consumer pool.
It will always try and have at least seven coins in any tube to ensure the exact change
indicator is kept off and will continue to add more coins to the tubes until the overall value for
the entire cassette matches the target value set by the customer.
For example, if your customer base tends to use quarters, the Gryphon will adjust the mix of
coins to compensate for quarter-heavy traffic.
Will it work immediately?
Yes. However, the initial mix of coins in the tubes may not be optimal.
