Pushbutton
The Pushbutton on the Battery Hopper is used for several purposes. It is used primarily to control the
hopper “Dump” feature, but it is also used when configuring the Bill Validator or Coin Acceptor as well as
for clearing some error codes. For configuration instructions, please refer to the Bill Validator
Configuration or the Coin Acceptor Configuration sections in this manual. An Error Codes section can also
be found in this manual. Coin “Dump” instructions follow below.
Using the Hopper Dump Feature
A coin “Dump” is a way to remove all of the coins/tokens from the hopper without having to remove the
hopper from the machine. During a “Dump,” the hopper’s motor is turned on, and coins are allowed to
dispense continuously until it is either manually stopped or the hopper empties completely.
NOTE: Please be aware of the state-of-charge of the battery when performing a coin dump, and use
caution. During a coin dump, the hopper motor is running continuously, which discharges the battery at a
much faster rate than normal operation of the changer. Do not perform a coin dump using a battery that
is already low, as over-discharging may damage it, shortening its service life.
Dump Procedure
1. Before you begin the coin Dump, open the changer door to give access to the front of the hopper.
2. Place a suitable container in front of the hopper to catch the dispensed coins.
3. Locate the Pushbutton in the top right corner of the hopper. Press and hold the Pushbutton for
approximately four seconds until the hopper motor begins to run and then release it. NOTE: The red
LED should turn ON while the Pushbutton is being held down, and then turn OFF when the dumping
starts.
4. To stop the Dump at any time, press the Pushbutton once. The motor will stop running immediately,
and the Battery Hopper will return to the normal operating mode.
Payout Selection
Unless otherwise specified at the time of ordering, the changer will be configured to dispense four coins
per dollar from the hopper. These can be either U.S. quarters, or tokens valued at $0.25, as long as they
are within the specified size limits detailed in the “Hopper Coin/Token Sizes” section in this manual.
The Battery Hopper can also be configured to dispense one coin per dollar. These also can be either U.S.
$1 coins, or tokens valued at $1.00, as long as they are within the specified size limits detailed in the
“Hopper Coin/Token Sizes” section in this manual. To change the payout, locate the connector on the
right side of the hopper through the vertical slot cut out of the plastic sidewall. Reposition the shunt, or
jumper, onto the bottom two pins of the connector, as seen in Figure 5 below. NOTE: If there is no shunt
installed on the hopper’s side connector, the payout will default to four coins per dollar.
