Instruction Manual 

 

1.  Standard hopper for different applications 

The CUBE HOPPER is a single coin payout system made universal by using the relevant payout disc and 
coin insert plate (see Reference Chart). 
It can be used with all round coins with a diameter between 15.40 and 31.00mm and a thickness ranging 
from 1.30 to 3.20mm. 
 

1.1. 

Features 

The hopper is square and easy to mount by means of a standard mounting-bracket (included). 
By using a unique “sun and planet” gearbox system this hopper offers the possibility to contain and count 
up to 1,000 coins of €0.50 (if fitted with two cup-extensions). 
 
The hopper is protected by an auto-reverse anti-jam system and has an indirect optical readout.  
A low level sensing detection is integrated into the coin cup and can be connected to pin 1 and 2 of the 
connector. 
When using the correct pin on the connector, the hopper operates on a low safe voltage  
(12VDC or 24VDC). 
 
 

PLEASE NOTE: 

This unit  was not designed to be used solely as a coin counter. Before starting  a payout, there should 
already be coins present in the coin cup. These coins should be at rest before payout occurs. The motor 
should only be active while a payout is in progress.

Disassembly 

 

How to remove the disc 

a)  Slide the yellow button on the back to “down” position. 
b)  Remove the coin cup by sliding it upwards and lift the cup from the platform. 
c)  You are now able to remove the disc from the platform. 
 

How to remove the coin insert plate 

a)  Remove the cup and disc from the platform as described above. 
b)  Remove the outlet bridge by pulling it up firmly. 
c)  Gently lift up the coin insert plate using a small screwdriver. 
 

How to re-configure the Cube Hopper 

a)  Remove the coin cup. 
b)  Remove the disc and/or coin insert plate (if necessary) and replace them with the ones necessary to 

achieve the desired configuration. 
Before placing the new disc onto the platform: 

I)  Please  check  that  the  correct  coin  insert  plate  is  mounted  on  the  platform  under  the  bridge. 

(See Reference Chart) 

II)  Don't  forget  to  put  the  black  Teflon  bearing  in  the  centre  of  the  platform.  Make  sure  that  the 

metal ring in the disc is present as well. 

c)  Bring the coin cup onto the platform and slide the yellow button to the up position to lock it in place. 
 
NOTE: Please look up the correct configuration for your hopper in the Reference Chart.
