Attention Please: To ensure the most trouble-free machine operation, we recommend plugging all our machines into a DEDICATED AC outlet. (This means there are no other machines on location plugged into the same AC line.) A simple way to check if this is true is to turn off the breaker at the fuse box associated with our machine. No other machines on location should lose power or turn off. American Changer is now building in a Surge Suppressor on every main logic board made after September 1st, 1998.
UNCRATING AND SETUP 5. After the conduit has been installed, proceed with the Remove your AC1005/AC2221 series changer from the shipping box. Open the door. (The T-handle(s) are the screw-in type and therefore, must be turned at least 10 times counter-clockwise until it opens.)

Note: The ‘Payout’ numbers override the ‘Token’ and ‘Change’ value settings, so be sure to correctly enter how many of each you want the changer to dispense per denomination.
