ERROR CODES 

 

There are two error codes that may be shown in the LED 
display in cases of malfunction or other problems.   

Er3

 - This code may appear if an improper coin is 

inserted into the coin slot, causing it to get stuck 
inside the coin acceptor.    Try turning the coin 
release lever or examining the coin acceptor by 
opening the rear door of the device.   

SEn

 - This code may appear if the sensor module 

is not installed properly, or if there is a problem 
or malfunction in the sensor.    You will most 
likely need to replace the sensor module.
