5.3 SORTER MODULE

The sorter has an entry chute and classifies the coins inserted by the user. It works in combination with the
coin validator. The inserted coins are analyzed by the validator and can be accepted or rejected by making
the refund to the user.
The sorter has 5 possible paths of classification. They are comprised if the following elements:
1. Sorter
2. U bracket
3. Entry chute
4. Refund module

5.3.1 How the sorter works

•
The Sorter (1) has 5 possible paths of classification for the accepted coins.
•
The coins rejected by the validator are not classified but are returned to the outside of the machine by a
direct reject channel.
•
The coins inserted in the Combo-T reach the Validator through of the coin entry chute (3).
•
The validator has previously received on behalf of the master ccTalk application all the commands
associated with inhibition of coins and classification of them.
•
When a coin is accepted, the validator, as well as sending the ccTalk code of the coin to the master
application, orders it to classify it through the established path.
•
The sorter module (1) activates the corresponding solenoid/s to open the correct path.
•
The coins come out of the sorter module to the relevant classification paths.
