6.
Set the dip switches on the 120v Mars validator per the label on the kit Module.
7.
Unplug the 9-position harness at the Coin Acceptor Assembly. If the changer was not
originally equipped with a Coin Acceptor Assembly on the front door, it will be necessary
to look behind the hopper assembly for the harness. Figure 4 shows a changer with a
factory installed Coin Acceptor Assembly.
8.
Insert the 9-position harness from the new Module into the open connector. This kit is
not
designed for use in a changer that accepts coins. If there is a coin acceptor on the
front door the 9-position connector will remain open. If you need to accept coins, please
contact us for a coin interface kit.
9.
Remove the right hopper from the changer for easy access to the power junction box.
10.
Unplug the 3-position power harness from the power junction box located on the upper
area of the right side of the cabinet. Plug the 3 position male connector from the kit into
the now open connector. Plug the machine harness into the 3 position female connector
of the wiring harness from the Module. See figure 5.
11.
Mount the kit Module to the right hand wall of the changer using Velcro. See figure 5.
12.
Mount the validator onto the metal validator slide plate; the four 11-32 keps nuts are
supplied with the validator. A twelve-inch factory harness may be connected to the
validator when it is removed from the box. Unplug this harness, as it is not used with
the kit. If the validator’s dipswitches have not been set, set them now. The label on the
Module lists the various settings.
13.
Slide the validator plate assembly down the tracks that originally secured the BA50
transport. Attach the harness from the Module with the long black connector to the
validator. Note the position of the two “keyed pins” when attaching the connector.
14.
If the machine was not factory fitted with a Coin Acceptor Assembly this step can be
skipped. Remove either of the 2 wires from the coin return switch; red or black. Wrap
the terminal in electrical tape.
15.
At this point, the BILL CHANGER CONTROL COMPUTER is reprogrammed. Plug the cord
back into the wall outlet. After a 10 second warm up period the “walking blue dash” will
appear on the BILL CHANGER CONTROL COMPUTER and begin scrolling back and forth.
The 3 most popularly used programs are described below. The programming assumes 4
quarters will be dispensed for each dollar value inserted. If you are dispensing dollar coins
divide the number of coins to be dispensed by 4. The below instructions can be used as a
basis for substituting your own values if needed. The values you are programming may
seem odd, however the validator now controls the denominations accepted. The MC mode
is recommended if you are dispensing the same value coin in both hoppers. The operation
of the MC Mode is described on page 2-12 in the Rowe BC-1200/1400 Bill & Coin Changer
Field Service Manual and Parts Catalog; fifth edition.
