Status LEDs
The LEDs on the control board show information about the present working status of the T3
hopper. There are 3 LEDs, that from left to right have the functions: Power supply (green),
Security (green) and Sensor (red).
Power supply –
Indicates that the unit it is active
Security –
In absence of errors it will be lit. When there is an error, the LED will
switch off and it will communicate the code through the Sensor.
Sensor-
In standby it is switched off. When an exit of coin is detected it is activated
once. In communication of error mode, the LED is switched off, it informs the error
code using a number of flashes.
For more information on the status LEDs consult chapter
5.2.3 Indications of the status LEDs

3.4.3 Detection of coin levels
The detection of the level of coins in the hopper is done with two pairs of optic sensors, a
photodiode and a phototransistor.
The T3 hopper allows you to situate these barriers in any of the available positions, two for the
detection of the minimum level and four for the detection of the maximum level. The
approximate capacities are shown in following figure.
Figure 15: Capacity of coins detected with respect to the position of the sensor
3.4.4 Detection of exit of coins
It is situated in the upper part of the extractor track, and is located on the control board. Its
function is to count the coins paid out and detect the possible breakdowns or attempts of
manipulation using optic sensors; this is carried out by software.
Approximate capacity of
€1
1 – 35 coins.
2 – 75 coins.
3 – 700 coins.
4 – 1100 coins.
5 – 1550 coins.
