1.0 QUICK START GUIDE Your machine has been shipped preprogrammed from the factory. All settings will be programmed to the factory default unless otherwise specified at the time of order. The majority of new machine owners need only read this section in order to learn the basic installation and operating features of your machine. For more detail, or if you just enjoy reading technical information, see the remaining sections of this manual.
1.3 Connecting Power To The Machine The machine can be connected to a standard 115VAC power outlet. We strongly recommend a dedicated line to the breaker panel. If the machine is located in a harsh electrical environment, or if dedicated line is not feasible, the use of a high quality surge suppressor (same as used for home computers) is recommended.

1.6 Testing the Machine Operation TURNING POWER ON / OFF – Your machine is equipped with a power disconnect feature. The type of disconnect used is dependent upon the machine model purchased. Below are pictures of the various each disconnects used. It is always a good idea to unplug the machine from the 110VAC power source whenever possible.
1.8 Resetting the Dispenser PUSH BUTTON Each dispenser is equipped with a push button that can be used to reset the dispenser from an error condition. It is only necessary to reset the coin dispenser that is displaying the error flash code. Allow at least 45 seconds after releasing the button, for the entire reset process to be completed.
1.10 Emptying The Coin Dispenser The majority of coins in a dispenser can be removed from the hopper using the bulk dump method. Bulk dumping refers to the manual method of emptying coins from a dispenser into a container. A few coins will remain in the dispense disk following a bulk dump;...
1.11 Removing Coins From The Coin Acceptor Box If your machine was equipped with the optional coin acceptor, you will need to empty the coin acceptor box when it becomes full. To do this you need only to lift the coin box from the retaining bracket, empty the box and then return it to the original position.

(REFER TO MANUAL: #8M00356 Modular Series Machine Installation Manual on our web site) Standard Change-Makers manufactures change machines in the following cabinet styles: 1) Free standing consoles, 2) Front loading wall mount, 3) Through-the-wall rear load and 4) Slim-line vending changer.
2.2 Location of the Changer The following points should be considered when locating a changer: Service Access: Full swing of the door when opened for removing and replenishing revenues. User Access: Easily accessed by customers and proper height from the floor. The height will vary depending upon the changer model.
If the wall to which the changer will be mounted does not meet the construction standards above, we recommend using the Standard Change-Makers stand. The stands are provided with mounting holes on the top surface for mounting the changer and holes are also provided on the bottom for securing the stand to the floor.
Any deviation of these guidelines will void the machine’s warranty. Angle Iron to Secure Angle Iron to Secure Cabinet Sides Cabinet Sides Steel Shelf with Steel Support Poles Figure 2 CINDER BLOCK WALL 2 x 4 WALL WARNING!!! Welding the cabinet to any kind of mounting could cause damage to electrical components within the machine! Warping of the cabinet may also occur.
Remove all packing materials and shipping straps from the cabinet. Some items have yellow tags with removal instructions. After installation, replace coin dispenser(s) or, if they were shipped separately, remove them from their cartons and install them. Plug in all electrical connectors. 2.7 Electrical Hook-Up The changer need only be connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet (3 wire ground back to main...
3. Noise Potential Check When placed across the NEUTRAL and GROUND terminals, a volt-ohmmeter should indicate no more than .5 volts AC. Readings greater than .5 volts AC indicate a poor grounding condition that could result in noise problems for the electronic circuitry. If you are hard wiring the changer the same checks should be performed on the supply line going to the changer.
4.0 UNDERSTANDING MACHINE OPERATING CONCEPTS Changes to the feature settings should only be performed if the factory settings do not provide the functionality required. It is important to understand a few basic concepts of the machine operation before attempting to alter a feature setting. Or if you choose, we have created step by step procedures in Appendix A in the back of this manual to simplify the programming sequence.
Page 25
MAKE BEST CHANGE FEATURE This allows your machine to operate in a manner that is easy to understand and results in the least amount of programming. Your machine will automatically figure out the best change combination for each deposited amount, based on the value of the dispenser(s). The best change combination is the one that results in the least number of coins dispensed from the machine.
4.1 Dual Redundancy Operating Mode Models that include two bill acceptors and at least two dispensers can be configured to operate in one of two modes. Each mode offers a unique set of benefits. The mode selected will be dependent upon the benefits that best suit your operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: See Appendix “A” for switch settings of all Features listed below. 5.0 MACHINE AND DEVICE FEATURES Below is the list of features provided by the MC changers, followed with a brief description of their functions. The factory uses the default settings as listed unless a change in the setting was specified by our customer.
5.3 Error Timeout (Feature Type = Machine and Device) Default Settings = 15 minutes This feature allows the machine to automatically reset from certain error types; at this time the Error Timeout only applies to Fast Vend Shutoff, a Stringing Detected Error and Overpay error conditions. For these errors the machine will be automatically reset following a predetermined time period.
5.7 Dispenser Transfer (Feature Type = Machine) Default Settings = Transfer Less The term TRANSFER refers to the machines' capability to “transfer” an owed amount from a dispenser that is in error or soldout. There are three different transfer operating modes available with your machine. Transfer None –...
5.9 Forced Dispense Override (Feature Type = Machine) Default Settings = OFF This feature allows the machine to ignore the Forced Dispense Feature setting under special deposit circumstances. The special circumstance occurs when the deposit is Equal To an available dispenser. If the value of the amount deposited matches a dispenser value, a dispense is issued from that dispenser.
5.13 Stringing Detection Level (Feature Type = Machine) Default Settings = Medium – Only validator detection will be used. If the validator detects a possible stringing attempt it will not issue credits. The System Controller will ignore all MDB codes that may indicate a possible stringing attempt.
5.17 Like Value Override (Feature Type = Machine) Default Settings = NO Available in software version 01.037 or newer This feature is used primarily in BX machine models that are not equipped with an EF Module and do not use the Forced Dispense Override feature.
5.21 Dispenser Value (Feature Type = Device) Default Settings = $00.0 This feature allows you to set a dispenser value other than those listed in the DISPENSER VALUE SETTINGS table shown in the Operating Mode section of this manual. This allows you to set the value to anything between $0.05 and $99.95, in nickel increments.
5.23 Ticket Transfer Factor (Feature Type = Device) Default Settings = 2 This setting is only used if you have set the ticket dispenser to “transfer” (see Dispenser Transfer) ticket dispenses in the event the ticket dispenser becomes empty. It is necessary as a result of a physical limitation in the ticket issuing device and therefore is represented as a “Factor”.
5.26 Bin Low Override (Feature Type = Device) Default Settings = OFF Available in software version 01.037 or newer This feature can be used to maximize the dispense capacity of a multi-bin (multi-cassette) bill dispenser that has two or more cassettes loaded with the same denomination of bill. Setting the “override” to on for a cassette will disable the sold out detector and allow the 40-70 bills that typically remain, to be dispensed.
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE 6.1 Dispenser Flash Codes When an error occurs the dispenser will display a flash code with the yellow status LED to indicate the particular error. If a two-digit flash code is present, a will occur between the first digit and the short pause second digit of the flash code.
6.2 Troubleshooting Chart The purpose of this chart is to assist you in troubleshooting failures that may occur during normal usage, and that do not require factory repair. Example: a bent coin or a coin bag string that is stuck in the coin dispenser mechanism.
