INTRODUCTION The coin T3 hopper has been designed to meet the technical specifications for the payment of coins that are required by the different applications of the automatic vending of services or products. The principle characteristics on which its design is based are determined by the following payout needs: high capacity, security of transaction, speed of the payment for demanding sectors such as: parking, ticketing and change, among others.

With respect to the capacity of the storage of coins, there are two options: • T3, single bowl • T3 x 2, double capacity storage The T3 hopper incorporates advanced coin detection systems and payment management, which makes them one of the most secure hoppers in the market. 07 - 2009...

For the Euro currency there is one unique configuration that covers the whole range of coins, except the one cent coin. 5) If the machine is fitted with a base plate for the hopper, place the hopper on the base so that the gaps coincide with the tabs on the T3, then slide the hopper firmly into the base until you hear the clips activate.

. Connection programming and tools. This connection is for programming the firmware of the T3 hopper. The circuit board is governed by a micro-controller with a flash memory that allows one to update the firmware by means of the user tools.
(See description of positions 1, 5 and 6 in the section 3.3.1 Control board T3 Cctalk) Parallel connection The connection between the main external connector of the T3 hopper and the circuit board. Mode selection dipswitches For the definition of the working mode, as well as being able to make a hardware configuration using the entry lines IN1-IN3, you are able to establish the selection of the position of the switches using the following table.
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.
3.4.5 Double count As well as the detection of the coin at the moment of payout, the T3 model of single coin implements a previous stage of sensorisation of the magnetic and physical parameters to previously read the values and therefore confirm the information obtained on exit detection. 3.4.6 Identification of coin The T3 model for 2 coin types is prepared with an advanced version of the Double Count...
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. 07 - 2009...
4.4 DETECTION OF THE PRESENCE OF COINS At the previous sensorisation stage, and depending on whether the model manages one or two coin types, the necessary measurements of the parameters and characteristics of the coins that are being transported the track are done. The parameters obtained by means of the magnetic and optic sensor are contrasted with the data base in the hopper to identify the value when working with two types of coins.

prevent the jamming of coins in the extraction system. By means of the current sensor, we monitor the current draw of the motor at all times and activate the reverse movement of the track to remove the jam before an eventual blocking of the hopper. If, in spite of activating the function anti-jamming, it is not possible eliminate the jam, the hopper communicates the error to the master so it can determine further action.

The master always initiates any communication with any of its slave devices and these respond according to the command and its present state. For more details related to the use of devices in Cctalk ® consult the manual from Azkoyen Medios of Pago: Protocol Cctalk. T3 hopper.
5.1.2 Configuration of the coin type To indicate the type of coin that is used in each hopper, it is necessary to configure the dipswitches on the control board using the following table: Table 16: Table of configuration of the coin type 5.2 PARALLEL PROTOCOL Parallel protocol is, depending on whether it is managed by the master or not, the most simple to implement and manage.
Configuration by dipswitches Figure 18: Details of the dipswitches on the Table 18: Parallel configuration modes 5.2.2 Working modes When the configuration of the working mode is carried out using the connection with the master (Configuration by hardware), the Working mode is established in the connection of the hopper. Mode 0 –...
When this mode has been selected, if IN3 is connected to low, the coin exit sensor goes inactive (OFF) to be able to carry out a test to see if it is operating. The confirmation of the test is carried out on pins 3 and 11. From the Reset Mode it can be commuted to any of the other modes and vice versa, but it is not possible to commute between Modes 0, 1 and 2 without passing through Reset Mode first.

Error 2: 2 flashes, etc…. The Errors that the T3 hopper parallel communicates with the LED are: Error 1 Detection of coin permanently in exit Error 2 Detection of external light in exit sensor Error 3 Fault in the exit sensor. The diode emitter is not detected.
6 SERVICE OPERATIONS 6.1 DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY In the design of the T3 hopper, a relevant aspect from a mechanical point of view has been the ease with which the hopper can be dismantled to carry out service operations. In this sense there has been a grouping of modular internal components.

Paso 3: Unscrew the full and empty detectors. Remove the cover. The extraction system is now accessible. Paso 2: Disconnect all the cables that come from of the PCB. Remove the mechanical extraction assembly. For this operation you need: • Philips screwdriver with a PH 1 or PH2 point.
6.2 CLEANING OF THE OPTIC SENSOR ON THE COIN EXIT The optic sensor to count the coins does not require frequent maintenance. Nevertheless, due to the dirt on the coins, it may need cleaning. As prevention, we recommend the cleaning of this sensor every 500,000 coins paid out.
Cotton cloth or cotton buds. 6.3 MECHANICAL CONFIGURATION OF THE CHANGE RETURN RANGE The standard configuration of the T3 hopper has a very wide range of use and allows the management of the majority of coins in the market. The standard configuration is designed for diameters between 18 and 26 mm and thicknesses of 1.5 to 3.2 mm.

With a flat head screwdriver pull apart the coin detection assembly to access the screw below, as shown in the figure. Unscrew the screws marked with the arrow, and turn over the unit to access the electronic board. Unscrew the screw wich fixes the electronic board to the plastic assembly. Release the clips located on the sides.
For this operation you need: • A flat screwdriver with a 3 to 5 mm point • The mechanical parts necessary for the configuration chosen: − Track − Coin concentrator − Flap. 6.4 ADJUSTING THE MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LEVELS IN THE HOPPER To fit the optic sensors in the positions desired, we recommend following these instructions: Select the location for the minimum and maximum sensor with respect to your 3.4.3 Coin level...

Figure 24: Main screen on the Cctalk Manager application There are different interfaces that may be used in combination with the Cctalk Manager. Below are details of the main devices: 7.2.1.1 USB Interface – Cctalk. This interface is connected to the USB port of the PC and provides a Cctalk bus to the exterior. This connection may be connected to any Cctalk device that has a ribbon cable connector 2 x 5-way.
