SECTION A 
SETUP & INSTALLATION 
Setup 
1.  Fully unpack all of the boxes that accompany this changer. This should include the box containing the 
changer and this manual, the box containing the battery, and any extra boxes that may contain the 
Bill Box, Battery Charger, or additional spare batteries, etc. 
2.  Open  the  door  to  the  changer.  For  the  Cam  Lock
,  use  the  keys  that  are  enclosed  in  the  manila 
envelope accompanying this manual. Insert the key, and then rotate it clockwise ¼ turn to unlock the 
door.  For  the  T-handle,  the  lock  is  not  installed  yet  (refer  to  step  9  for  lock  installation).  Turn  the 
handle counter-clockwise, up to 10 times or more, until the screw disengages from the lock bracket. 
3.  Visually inspect the changer’s interior for  any obvious damage that may have occurred during 
shipping,  including  dislodged  components  or  detached  connectors.  NOTE:    The  white  two-position 
battery connector will be detached, as the battery is shipped in a separate box. 
4.  If no damage is found, install the battery in the cabinet. The battery should be placed on top of the 
metal platform located in the top left corner of the cabinet, above the Battery Hopper. 
5.  Before permanent installation of your AC401 changer, perform a functional test to further verify that 
there is no hidden shipping damage. To ready the changer for use, coins must first be added to the 
hopper. You will need at least enough coins to cover the two metal plates at the bottom of the Coin 
Bin,  or  approximately  100-150  coins.  The  Battery  Hopper  must  also  be  powered-up.  Connect  the 
white  two-position  battery  connector,  which  is secured  to  the  left  side of the cabinet, to the  mating 
white connector attached to the top of the battery (refer to Figure 1 below).  When this connection is 
made, the hopper’s red LED should light up for approximately two seconds. When the LED turns off, 
the changer is ready for testing. 
6.  AC401:    Insert the Bill  Box inside the changer. It should slide in to the right of the hopper,  with  its 
bottom resting on the two studs protruding from the right interior wall. The part on the top of the Bill 
Box  that  sticks  out  toward  the  left  should  be  covering  the  hopper’s  Coin  Bin to  block  accepted  bills 
from falling into it. 
AC401-COIN
: Insert the Coin Box inside the changer. It should fit into the space on the bottom of the 
cabinet  to  the  right  of the  hopper,  underneath the  coin acceptor.   When  the changer’s  front door is 
closed, all accepted coins should fall down directly into the Coin Box. 
7.  Close  the  front  door,  and  insert  a  few  bills  or  coins  to  ensure  the  machine  pays  out  correctly.  To 
change the payout, refer to the “Payout Selection” section of this manual. 
8.  Once  the  changer  has  been  tested  and  is  working  properly,  please  completely  charge  the  battery 
before installing the changer in its permanent location. 
9.  Installing  the  T-handle  lock:    The  lock  and  keys  can  be  found  inside  the  manila  envelope 
accompanying this manual. To install the lock, insert the cylinder into the round hole in the middle of 
the T-handle, pushing it all the way in until it stops.  Rotate the cylinder until you hear it ‘snap’ into 
place. Turn the key counterclockwise ¼ turn, and remove the keys.
