BC-1200/1400 Bill and Coin Changer
1 - 2 25238802
The one dollar change bucket opens, and the dollar’s worth of change drops into the coin cup.
The coin hopper motors then operate, loading the correct number of coins from the left, and right coin hoppers into
the change bucket for the next payout.
If the bill is not valid, the bill transport motor reverses, returning the bill to the customer.
Changing Coins
Quarters, half-dollars, and dollar coins pass through the coin acceptor if the changer is so equipped. Solid-state coin
sensors start the payout cycle for these coins (BC-1200 only).
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This functional description can be used to gain an overall understanding of the BC-1200/1400 and their operation.
Bill Transport
The bill transport (see Figures 1-2 and 1-3) receives a bill as it is inserted by the customer. The bill is transported
through the transporter on a belt system, carefully examined and , if the bill is determined to be valid, is delivered to
the bill stacker.
If the bill fails any of the validation tests, the transport reverses and returns the bill to the customer. The bill will hang
in the transport inlet for a period of three seconds during which time the control computer will display a message
explaining the cause for the rejection. If the bill is not removed during this these three seconds, the computer will
display “
PURGING ACCEPTOR
” and a self-purging routine will begin. If the bill is removed in the three-second
period, the cause of the rejection will remain on the display for 30 seconds.
