Clearing Coin Jams
CoinCo Guardian6000 6 Tube Coin Acceptor
These instructions should be used in conjunction with the Coin and Bill Acceptor manual and related
Knowledge Base articles.
The CoinCo Guardian6000 Coin Acceptor may stop accepting and sorting coins if a coin is jammed
within the Validator or Sorting sections of the Coin Acceptor. Symptoms may include:
Coin being rejected and dropping straight through to the Coin Return tray.
Coins routing to the incorrect denomination coin tube
Coins inserted not entering any coin tube
A “Check Coin Path” Status/Diagnostic Error on the LCD Display on the Coin Acceptor
This document provides instructions for removing the Validator/Sorter section of the Coin
Acceptor to check for and remove any Jammed Coins.
1. Turn off the Power to the Coin and Bill Acceptor at the Mains Power Outlet.
2. Using the provided keys, open the rear door of the Coin and Bill Acceptor
3. Push the release tab (marked by the red indicator on the left of the Coin Acceptor) to the right.
While holding the tab in this position, using your second hand grab the top edge of the light grey
frame above the LCD Display Screen and pull forward (towards yourself). The Validator/Sorter
section of the Coin unit will swing down (being hinged at the bottom of the Sorter). Note that the
Validator/Sorter has tight fit in the Coin Acceptor main black frame. You may need to pull forward
with a little bit of force to get the section to swing down.
