ALIGNMENT
Once the coin mechanism is installed, check that there
is a small gap (2 mm) between the return lever on the
vending machine and the Acceptor Gate lever on the coin
mechanism.
Confirm that when you press the coin return lever on the
machine door, it fully depresses the acceptor gate lever on
the coin mechanism, then lets it return smoothly without
holding the gate open.
Check the alignment of the coin input chute and cashbox
chute. Insert some coins to check that they enter the coin
mechanism properly and exit into the return cup. Ensure
that the coin chute does not rest on or open the acceptor
gate.
Most machines allow you to adjust the return lever, coin
chute, and the return cup to align with the coin
mechanism
.
Align, adjust, and test as necessary to ensure coins are
properly routed before continuing with these instructions.
CONNECTION
If the vending machine has a bill validator, connect the
MDB harness coming from the coin mechanism to the bill
validator’s “Y” connector. If there is no bill validator, connect
the coin mechanism harness to the harness coming from
the vending machine control board.
Tuck any excess length of harnessing inside the machine.
Make sure no harness is pinched or trapped when the coin
return lever is pressed or when the vending machine door
in closed.
Now you may switch
ON
the power to the vending
machine.
