Header 163: Test hopper
Transmitted data :
<none>
Received data :
[ hopper status register ]
This command reports back various operating and error flags from the hopper and is the
equivalent of the ‘Perform self-check’ command in coin acceptors.
[ hopper status register 1 ]
Bit mask :
B0 - Absolute maximum current exceeded
1 = exceeded
B1 - Payout timeout occurred
1 = occurred
B2 - Motor reversed during last payout to clear a jam
1 = reversed
B3 - Opto fraud attempt, path blocked during idle
1 = fraud
B4 - Opto fraud attempt, short-circuit during idle
1 = fraud
B5 - Opto blocked permanently during payout
1 = blocked
B6 - Power-up detected
1 = power-up
B7 - Payout disabled
1 = disabled
The ‘Payout timeout occurred’ flag is cleared prior to each dispense operation.
Once it has been set, the ‘Motor reversed during last payout to clear a jam’ flag stays latched
through subsequent dispense operations but may be cleared with a software reset.
[ hopper status register 2 ]
Bit mask :
B0 - Opto fraud attempt, short-circuit during payout
1 = fraud
B1 - Single coin payout mode
1 = single
B2 - Checksum A error
1 = error
B3 - Checksum B error
1 = error
B4 - Checksum C error
1 = error
B5 - Checksum D error
1 = error
B6 - Power fail during NV Memory write
1 = fail
B7 - PIN number mechanism
1 = enabled
‘Opto fraud attempt, short-circuit during payout’ occurs if light is shone at the hopper exit
optos during a dispense operation.
Refer to Appendix D for details of the checksum types.
