  • Page 4: Introduction

    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.
  • Page 5 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...

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.
  • Page 24: Detection Of Coin Levels

    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.
  • Page 25: Double Count

    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...
  • Page 26: How It Works

  • Page 27: Detection Of The Presence Of Coins

    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.
  • Page 28 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.

    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.

  • Page 35: Service Operations

    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.
  • Page 36 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.
