Introduction installation INSTALL THE OPTION(S) RS232 CONNECTIONS (IF ORDERED) Install each option in accordance with the Installation Instructions provided with each kit. Cable connections are shown in FIGURE #5. Note: The Printer must be connected to port #4 and the Remote Batch Display must be connected to port #3.
Introduction installation INSTALL COIN BAGS / COIN DRAWERS Unpack the Coin Drawers (if ordered) and slide them into position. All Coin Drawers are identical in size and shape. If you are bagging SPOUT coin, replace the Coin Drawers at those locations with the Chute / Spout configuration.
Introduction installation THE POWER CORD / SWITCH Check the Power Cord supplied with the Sorter to ensure compatibility with local requirements. If a different plug connection is required, obtain the correct Power Cord assembly locally. Be sure the Power Switch (See FIGURE #7) is in the “OFF”...
Introduction installation THE INSPECTION PAN / SHIELD Lifting the corner as shown in FIGURE #9 allows the Pan to swing to the right and tilt upward, transferring the coins to the Sorting Disc. The second (next) batch of coins may then be placed in the Pan and inspected while the first batch is sorting.
Page 21
Operation sorting stations The Sorter has eight (8) Sorting Stations. They are numbered as shown in FIGURE #10. In some applications, not every Sorting Station would be used. The Coin Drawers for these Stations may be secured in position, if desired, by a single screw inserted in the bottom of the Drawer through the Baseplate.
Operation the keyswitch The Keyswitch, located to the left of the Control, provides access to the programming mode. 1. Enter the programming mode by turning the Keyswitch to the vertical position and holding the Batch Key down at power--up. 2. Exit the programming mode by turning the Keyswitch to the horizontal position.
Operation the control BATCH GRAND STOP COUNT MOTOR ON / ACCEPT CLEAR FIGURE #12 CONTROL FUNCTION KEYS MOTOR ON / OFF Alternate function key that controls the Sorting Motor. Toggles between ON and OFF. BATCH Displays the current Batch Total. Repeated key depressions will display the Batch Total for each denomination.
Page 24
Operation the control CLEAR Clears the value shown on the Display. The exception to this rule is the “GRAND-- CLEAR -- ACCEPT” sequence, in which case the GRAND is cleared after the ACCEPT Key is pressed. If a Printer is connected, the output is sent to the Printer.
Operation time / date -- fee percent -- fixed fee TIME / DATE The Sorter contains a calendar and clock for operator convenicene and for controlling program functions. Complete instructions for setting the clock are contained in the programming section later in this Guide.
Operation displaying quantities and / or totals 1. Display Batch Total Cycle the BATCH Key until the Display shows the following: BATCH TOTAL Note: Batch totals must be displayed before the accept key is pressed for that particular batch total. 3.
Operation accepting quantities and / or totals Note: Each time a Batch, or Grand total is accepted an audit trail will print if the printer option is utilized. 1. Batch ACCEPT With the Display in the BATCH TOTAL mode, press the ACCEPT Key once. The BATCH TOTAL is cleared, and the Control remains in the BATCH mode.
Operation clearing quantities and / or totals Note: Always double--check your need to clear. Quantities cannot be recalled! The CLEAR function is used to remove information from memory. 1. Clear Batch Total a. Press the BATCH Key (displays batch total). b.
Page 29
Operation clearing quantities and / or totals Clear Grand Total (with Audit Trail Printout) a. Press the GRAND Key (displays grand total). 124.86 GRAND TOTAL b. Press the CLEAR Key once (the Display MUST be allowed to flash for two seconds).
Operation processing coin 1. Place the coins for the first batch in the Inspection Pan and remove any unwanted LIFT objects. 2. Press the MOTOR ON / OFF Key on the Control to start the Sorting Motor. 3. Lift and tilt the Inspection Pan to transfer the coins into the Sorting Area.
Operation bagstop The Sorter will stop when any of the coin denominations being sorted reaches a predetermined bagstop amount. A. The Display will indicate which Sorting Station has reached a bagstop, and the number of coins (if any) over the bagstop quantity.
Operation bagstop selection BAGSTOP QUANTITY SELECTION Note: Bagstop quantities may be set (reset) at any time the Sorter is at rest (no counting / sorting). If quantities are changed during coin processing, it is important that the number of coins currently in the coin bag must be less than the new bagstop quantity.
Operation bagstop quantities CHANGING THE BAGSTOP QUANTITY Three Bagstop quantities are operator selectable for each coin station. Each Station’s coin value (unit count if non--valued coin) and three selectable bagstop amounts are programmed at the time of manufacture. The values can be altered for your particular application.
Page 34
Operation bagstop quantities The following chart may be filled--in to show the values specifically programmed for your application. This will aid in proper selection of bagstop quantities and will be helpful in the event re--programming becomes necessary. Station No. Quantity Quantity Quantity (Showing Coin Value)
Operation display messages INTRODUCTION This feature allows the Control to alert the MOTOR RUN operator to an error condition. A Motor Run SYMBOL Symbol (located in the upper left corner of the Display), will appear while the Sorter Motor is running.
Operation display messages 3. CLEAN SENSOR An object has blocked a Coin Sensor. CLEAN Disconnect the Sorter from power, locate and clean the dirty Sensor, reconnect the .25 SENSOR Sorter to power and resume operation. Note: When the Clean Sensor Error has been corrected, the coin quantity for that station should be re--run to verify its accuracy.
Operation display messages 7. RUN NO ACCEPT Sorter cannot accept totals while coins are being sorted / counted. Wait for sorting to stop before accepting total. NO ACCEPT WHILE COUNTING 8. PRINTER BUSY Totals cannot be accepted while Printer is operating.
