4 HOW IT WORKS
4.2 PAYOUT OF COINS
The extraction system is based on an inclined plastic track laying flat where the coins are
caught and held by gravity and that it is activated by a motor. The lower part this track catches
the coins and positions them the cavities along the track in a way that they lay on their sides
and are transported in an upward movement towards the exit, situated in the front and highest
part of the hopper.

The T3 receives the order from the master and carries out the payment, communicating the
execution of the order or of any error or incidence in the case of not achieving complete
payment.
The payment orders, and the way the incidents or events are communicated between the
hopper and the master, differ between the two types of hopper depending on whether they use
parallel or Cctalk serial protocol. For specification of the protocols consult chapter
5.
Communication protocols

4.3 SPEED OF EXTRACTION
The speed of the payment of coins it is determined by the speed of the extraction system and
the diameter of the coin.
The T3 hopper is capable of paying out up to
4.5 coin/sec
