The proper performance of your American Changer machine is directly related to the quality of the power it is
supplied. AC power fluctuations, including blackouts, brownouts, over voltages, sags, surges, and spikes may cause
the machine to miss pay. To ensure the most trouble-free operation, we strongly recommend plugging all of our
machines into a DEDICATED AC outlet (this means there are no other machines on location plugged into the same
AC line). A simple way to check if this is true is to turn off the breaker associated with our machine at the breaker
box. No other equipment on location should lose power.
Additionally, if your unit is located in an area prone to lightning storms or other sources of frequent power
disturbances, we also strongly recommend using an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). If power is lost during a
payout to a customer, a UPS will allow your machines to complete the transaction that would otherwise not be
completed. In some cases, a UPS may also correct long-term under and/or over voltages on the AC line by
converting to the proper line voltage before the power reaches the machine.
Every American Changer machine has a surge suppressor built into the main logic board. This helps eliminate
power related noise problems, but it will not protect from substantial voltage spikes or nearby lightning strikes. If
this is a concern for your area, we recommend purchasing a commercial grade UPS with integrated surge
protection.
NOTE: A POWER STRIP IS NOT A SURGE PROTECTOR.
