1. Introduction
The Suzo-Happ Group has now introduced its own version of a belt driven hopper.
After the successful Cube hopper, the Gold series, the Excel Casino Hoppers and the Escendo
escalator hopper Suzo-Happ has made its own improved version of this unique hopper concept.
Easier serviceability and higher speed are the two key elements for developing this product.
This product is compatible with most other belt driven hoppers in the market.
2. Safety Note
To meet the requirements for EN 60950 the equipment must be installed according to the following
requirements: A 3A fuse must protect the equipment.
The equipment must be supplied from a SELV limited power source.
The equipment must be installed in an enclosure but positioned so that it is external
to any fire enclosure area within the main enclosure.

Table 1: Hopper capacity for some popular coins
The standard version of the Evolution Hopper can handle coins between 21.01 and 30.00 mm.
A Euro coin track is available for all Euro coins (between 19.00 – 26.40 mm).
A small coin track is available for smaller coins between 16.25 and 20.90 mm (optional).
A large coin track is in preparation for coins of 31 mm (optional).
The pay-out speed depends on the coin size and the amount of coins in the hopper but the average
speed is approximately 4 coins per second.
Precise pay-out is ensured through optical sensing and verifying of coin dispensing with an electronic
security signal which alerts against coin jams, failed sensors and a bad power supply.
LED indicators are provided for easy visual checking of power supply, security status and coin
sensors.
The standard interface can be set in 3 different modes:
Mode0: Hopper starts paying out as soon as the power is supplied
Mode1: Hopper is started by a logic control line (active low).
Mode2: Hopper pays a coin for each start pulse it receives.
