. The first section, however, is designed to help you navigate easily within these operating instructions. General information about these instructions These operating instructions describe the design and operation of the NRI hopper currenza h with parallel or serial ccTalk interface. Chap. 5 and 6 explain the necessary steps for starting up and operating the hopper.
If the hopper is to be filled automatically, it can interact with a coin validation system without any problems (e.g. NRI coin validators G-13.mft, G-40 or NRI coin changers c , E-66/A-66, G-46).
ENERAL INFORMATION Scope of delivery • Hopper currenza h • Mounting bracket Models Most notably the hopper models differ in the coin capacity. All models can be equipped with or without full or empty recognition and be fixed onto two different mounting brackets depending on the machine dimensions.
ENERAL INFORMATION Mounting bracket Depending on the installation options in the machine the hopper is either delivered with a mounting bracket with spigots or with a mounting bracket with large base plate (cp. Chap. 5 "Start- Up"). Fig. 1b: Mounting bracket with large base plate (LH) and spigots (RH) National Rejectors, Inc.
This is to ensure you have understood the contents of this manual as well as how to operate the hopper. Proper use The NRI hopper currenza h with parallel/serial ccTalk interface is intended to be used in machines with parallel or serial ccTalk interface and is...
Pull out the machine’s mains plug before you install, clean or remove the hopper. Contact NRI if you wish to alter the construction of the device to a greater extent than that described in these instructions. Keep water and other liquids away from the hopper.
ESIGN Design This chapter describes • the main parts the hopper consists of, and • all parts which you need to operate and start up the hopper. Overview of the device (verdeckt) (covered) (verdeckt) (covered) 1 Safety flap 9 Coin outlet 2 Payout disc (covered) 10 Bowl 3 Front bowl cover...
ESIGN Bowl and front bowl cover The bowl [2a/10] and bowl cover [2a/3] build the hopper funnel, which collects the coins, in order to feed the rotating disc (Fig. 2b), that pays out the coins. Rotor, payout disc, and safety flap The payout disc (Fig.
ESIGN Jumpers Using the jumpers [2a/14] on the rear of the hopper (accessible by service cover) you can bridge certain pins of the machine interface so that the hopper works no longer in the parallel but in the ccTalk mode or vice versa (see section "Configuring operating mode (parallel/ccTalk)“...
UNCTION Function This chapter describes the functional principle of the hopper: • Coin reception and payout • Hopper control • Anti-jam function • Protection against cable break (parallel interface only) • Space-saving dual hopper assembly (coin passage) • Empty and full recognition (optional) Coin reception and pay out The coins of a particular type are either filled in the hopper bowl before starting up the hopper or continuously sorted into the bowl by an upstream...
UNCTION Control signal to hopper If the hopper is in standby mode (after start-up), the machine may activate the hopper motor at any time by transmitting a signal via the control line (voltage drop). The motor turns the payout disc as long as the signal is present.
UNCTION The red pilot light flashes with every error signal, so that the error is easy to locate and correct (see sections "Pilot lights" in Chap. 3 "Design" and "Troubleshooting" in Chap. 7 "Maintenance and service"). ccTalk data transfer protocol (ccTalk interface only) The control system communicates with the hopper using the serial ccTalk protocol.
UNCTION Space-saving dual hopper assembly (coin passage) Thanks to the coin passage between the hopper's rear cover and coin payout unit it is possible to install two hoppers in the machine side by side and as close as possible. If the hoppers are mounted accordingly, the coins paid out by the rear hopper can be directed into the return area of the machine through the coin passage of the front hopper.
UNCTION Full recognition The hopper uses the full recognition to signal the control system that no more coins can be fed into the hopper, so that it does not overflow. The filling quantity is also monitored by electric contacts in the hopper bowl or or bowl cover (connot be retrofitted): If the filling level is below the contacts, no current flows.
TART Start-up This chapter describes how to • start up the hopper in a machine • align tow hoppers with coin passage For all installation work on the hopper or the machine please observe the following safety instructions: The hopper may only be connected by a qualified electrician. The hopper is not suited for outdoor use.
TART Installing mounting bracket The hopper is installed in the machine using the mounting bracket. Installation differs depending on the mounting bracket. Installing mounting bracket with spigots Install the mounting bracket in the machine in consideration of the both underside spigots [5a/1] using four fixing screws and the boreholes [5a/ 2] (Ø...
If you do not want the hopper to operate in the mode ordered by you and set by NRI and want to reconfigure the machine interface or set a particular ccTalk address (defaul setting: 3), it is advisable to change these settings before connecting and installing the hopper (see Chap.
6.35 x 0.80 each). If the hopper is equipped with an empty or full recognition only, the contact has already been connected to the hopper PCB by NRI and the empty/full signal is Fig. 7b: Connectors for empty/full recognition transmitted via the 10-pole machine interface.
TART Mounting and filling hopper Slightly tilt the hopper at the rear and use its two mounting studs [8a/1] to slide the hopper in the rear guides [8a/2] of the mounting bracket. Press the hopper into the mounting bracket, so that it engages behind the ejector Fig.
PERATION Operation This chapter describes the operation, i.e. the setting of specific functions on the hopper itself: • Configuring operating mode (parallel/ccTalk) • Selecting ccTalk hopper address • Removing hopper Configuring operating mode (parallel/ccTalk) In order to change the operating mode (default setting: customized): Tools: Slotted screw driver, tweezers Detach hopper from mounting bracket (see section "Removing hopper"...

PERATION Selecting ccTalk hopper address To alter the ccTalk hopper address (default setting: 3): Tools: Slotted scew driver, pointed object Detach hopper from mounting bracket (see section "Removing hopper" in this chapter). Remove service cover (detach from the bottom using a slotted screw driver, see Fig.
PERATION Removing hopper It is very easy to remove the hopper from the mounting bracket: Press the ejector lever [11/1] down as far as its lips release the hopper A. Lift the hopper front B and disengage the hopper from the guides [11/2] of the mounting bracket C.
AINTENANCE AND SERVICE Maintenance and service In this chapter you will find out how to • clean the hopper, and • remedy the cause of a malfunction. Please pull out the machine’s mains plug before you clean or maintain the hopper. Cleaning hopper (every six month) The coins may leave residues on sensitive parts of the payout unit, when they are transported.
Page 31
AINTENANCE AND SERVICE Clean payout disc [12b/3] and all other parts, that are contaminated by the coins, with a cloth/brush. Under no circumstances may the cloth be so wet that fluid runs into the device. Other the hopper will be damaged.
AINTENANCE AND SERVICE Troubleshooting Malfunctions can occur in all electromechanic devices. These do not always have to be faults in the device. In many cases the reason is improper connections or incorrect settings. Therefore: please first of all check, whether the malfunction can simply be remedied using the following table.
