Unit.
Entire row of prizes
show
"Prize Unavailable"
Probable Cause
Capsules will hold 120 of the 2" capsules per capsule pie slice.
Once the pie slice is empty, it will show that prize unavailable.
Capsule carousel will slow down, stop, pivot motor moves dis-
pensing motor in, and dispensing motor dispenses capsule. If
capsule does not fall for whatever reason, the motor will time-
out and carousel will go around again to try to dispense that
same capsule.
If that capsule has tried to dispense twice and fails, it will show
that prize unavailable, not subtract tickets from guest and have
him chose a different prize.
If front door opens while prize is being dispensed, that prize will
show unavailable. Check door switch and cables. Refer to
"Carousel motor not turning" in troubleshooting guide.
Capsule unit is specifically designed to resist and power-through
jams.
If it shows prize unavailable and they are still capsules in unit,
turn the sprocket by hand and see if it dispenses capsule.
If not - Remove capsules and locate jammed capsule.
If it does dispense - Check capsule drop sensor and refer to
Capsule Unit Troubleshooting Section
We usually leave capsules set to zero, it will dispense capsules
until it tries to dispense an empty bin.
If pivot motor test fails on power on.
At power on - The pivot motor will move and test home sensor.
If it fails, capsule stepper motor will not start (it will also be very
hard to turn by hand.) and all capsule prizes will be
unavailable.
