PREPARATION FOR USE:
PAY ATTENTION: FILL THE HOPPERS ONLY
WHEN THE MACHINE IS OFF.
Open the door and locate extensions capacity on top of the hopper.
Unlock the latch A (white slide) of the cover and slide
the latter fully out towards the outside, until is positioned as
a pilot chute: pour into the hopper the coins or tokens to be
dispensed as change.
Unlock again the latch A and slide the cover back
to “closed” position.
Close the tiltable front flap of the machine.
Plug the power cable in, and turn the main switch on.
Component check and self-setting shall start automatically. At the end, a message will inform
that the machine is ready for operation, showing what coin(s) (tokens) value(s) will be paid in
exchange for notes and coins introduced, as well as a welcome wording.
This message takes shifts with:
As soon as the control board enables the note acceptor, the latter’s front slot flashes once in
blue colour for each enabled note, or once in red for each disabled note. For instance, if the 5,
10, 20 Euro notes are enabled, and the 50 and 100 Euro notes are disabled, the front slot will
flash 3 times in blue colour and 2 (twice) in red. The machine is now ready to operate.
6. Operation
Three buttons are available: “1” and “2” (“SEL-“ and “SEL+”) allow the User to choose the
coin (or token) value he wants back as change; third button allows the user to choose the
language he wants on the display (English, French, German, Italian and Dutch are available.
Ask before placing order for other languages options). The machine offers two different
modes of operation, depending on whether the operation mode is set to AUTOMATIC MODE
or to MANUAL MODE.
AUTOMATIC MODE - when a note or coin is inserted, the credited amount is displayed, and the
control board starts the pay-out by the hopper(s). The machine combines the coins contained
in the hoppers. If the machine is set to Tokens+Change, all the tokens that can be bought by
the inserted sum will be dispensed, with the back change in addition. At the end of the payout
cycle, the display will show both the inserted amount as well as the amount paid out.
PAY-OUT TABLE ENABLED AND PROGRAMMED:when a note or coin is inserted, the
display shows the credited amount, and the machine shall automatically pay-out according to
the combination that the Operator has pre-programmed for the amount inserted (see section
7.3.5 B DISPENSING MODE SETUP). By enabling such pay-out table from the menu settings,
the User will only be able to get the tokens and/or coins that can be bought by the inserted
money, according to the combination preset by the Operator. See the setting flow-chart in
section 7.3.5 B.
EROGA MONETE DA
1,00 € - 2,00 €
CHANGEONE

MANUAL MODE - when a note or coin is inserted (or when the value of one token is reached),
the button(s) will lit up green . Press the button corresponding to the change (token) desired.
If the machine is set to Tokens+Change, it will be possible to choose the desired number of
tokens.
If the machine is set to Tokens or to Tokens+Change, and the Bonus has been set, introduce
money until the searched amount is reached, then press the OK button.
WARNING: If there are not enough coins in the hopper to fulfil the whole exchange request, the remaining
credit shall be displayed and retained in memory. Switch off the machine, fill the hoppers, and switch on
again: the remaining credit shall be paid out.
An option is to set the Menu (see section 7.3.14) so as to cancel the remaining credit - and at the
same time record it in the Accounts menu - by switching the machine off and on again.

NOTICE: monitoring of level sensors is disabled by default. This means that the board does not know when the
hopper is empty, so it will send the pay-out command even if there are no coins available. When the hopper runs
out of coins during dispensing or at the end of payment, no warning will be displayed. If the empty state is
detected when powering the unit, this one shall not accept any money.
If instead the monitoring has been enabled, and there are not enough coins in the hopper, the display will warn
that the hopper is empty. There will usually remain 20 coins approximately, so as to complete the change
payout.
