MacKay Guardian™ Solo
Operation and Maintenance Guide, v. 1.5
coin chute. When investigating an Solo that has been reported as missing coins or
having a large number of invalid coins, first inspect the post/housing to determine that it is
not more than two (2) degrees of being plumb. A bent post will not allow the coin to free-
fall through the coin chute, and the instances of invalid coins and jams will increase, with
the severity of the bent post. Look down the coin chute and check for debris, water, dirt
etc. Presence of enough of any of these substances that can slow down the coin as it
free-falls through the coin chute may cause the coin (especially smaller lightweight coins
like the dime) to not register correctly. Before placing the Solo back into the housing,
always inspect inside the upper mechanism housing for evidence of coins or other debris
that may have become caught in between the bottom of the chute and the housing.
3.9 Card Reader Assembly: General
•
Figure 16 – Card Reader Assembly Top and Bottom View
1)
The card reader is a plug in assembly that can be serviced and replaced without
recalibration of the Solo or the use of special tools. There are no
replacement/serviceable parts on the card reader assembly, except for the four mounting
screws.
2)
The Solo main board makes the decision on the purchase of time from all valid cards.
3)
The card reader has a sealed “card present switch” that activates when a card is fully
inserted into the card reader. If the card is not removed after a purchase or if the switch
is jammed “on”, the Solo will deem the card reader jammed, will indicate the appropriate
message, and record the event in the maintenance log.
4)
The card slot should not allow entry by currently minted U.S. coins and each card reader
has clean outs to allow for removal of debris/paper during maintenance.
5)
The Solo frame provides a label showing embossed molded card contact symbol to
indicate which way the card should be inserted. The chip should be facing up for proper
operation.
