UNCRATING AND SET-UP
Remove your Series AC8000/8001 PayStation
from the shipping box. Take the Hex handle out
of the envolope to open the door. (The lock
system is a screw-in type and therefor, must be
turned at least 10 times counter-clockwise until
it opens.) Inspect for any connectors or
components that may have been dislodged
during shipping. The lock and keys for your
PayStation will be inside the manila envelope
along with this manual. To install the lock,
insert each cylinder into the center of the round
holes. Turn the key counter-clockwise ¼ turn
and remove the keys.
TEST:
After permanently installing the PayStation, do a
functional test to verify that there is no shipping
damage to your new PayStation(s).
Connect power through the a conduit into the
PayStation. Fill the each coin hopper with at
least 100 coins. On the Power Supply / Relay
logic board turn the switch on the bottom left
corner “ON". (SEE FIG. 1) The rocker switch
has a “1” and “0” printed on it. When the “1” is
pressed “IN” the PayStation is “ON”. Make sure
the LCD display lights up, the green LED on the
top left of the power supply board comes ON. If
this happen occurs, you may continue hooking
up the other car wash relay wiring.
MOUNTING THE AC8000 / AC8001
On the bottom of the cabinet of the AC8000/1,
locate the 4-mounting holes predrilled into the
bottom of the unit (The other 4 holes are for
water drainage.). Using lag bolts, bolt down the
machine to prevent the machine from being
moved, shaken or tipped over.
REFUSAL TO MOUNT THE CHANGER OR NOT
USING ALL 4-MOUNTING HOLES MAY BE
DANGEROUS!!!
IF YOU ARE UNSURE IN ANY WAY IN
PROCEEDING WITH THE FOLLOWING
STEPS, PLEASE HIRE A LOCAL
PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN TO MOUNT
YOUR PAYSTATION FOR YOU!
1. Disconnect any and all AC power going to
the PayStation.
2. Slide the hoppers out of the cabinet.
3. Choose a height to mount the PayStation.
Keep in mind that a SUV or a small car
needs to be able to see the display and
insert money into the bill validator. (We
recommend the bottom of the machine
should be 30” off the ground.) CAUTION:
THE PAYSTATION WEIGHS 150 POUNDS
DO NOT EXERT YOURSELF SO THAT YOU
MAY CAUSE AN INJURY.
4. Brick the PayStation base to the required
height or mount the stainless steel base, an
option we offer, permanently.
Note: There are 4 drain holes on the bottom
of the PayStation to help in water drainage.
YOU MUST mount the Paystation off the
concrete slab, about 1” to allow for water
to drain from out of the cabinet to the
ground below. If you are mounting this
machine to a base purchased from
American Changer then the holes are
already supplied in the base.
5. Let the electrician run the conduit, install the
new breaker, wire and help decide how the
wiring will enter the PayStation (from the
back or the bottom). This will affect the
mounting location.
6. Brick in the sides of the PayStation.
7. BEFORE DRILLING THE FOUR MARKED
HOLES ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO
ELECTRICAL WIRES, TELEPHONE LINES,
GAS, OR WATER LINES BEHIND THE
WALL WHICH DISRUPTING MAY CAUSE
A LOSS OF LIFE OR PERSONAL INJURY!
8. Locate the 4 1/2” holes on the bottom or on
the back wall of the PayStation. Using
concrete anchor bolts, drill and bolt the
PayStation cabinet to the brick enclosure.
9. Verify that the machine is securely mounted.
10. Bolt a 2” thick cement top to the top of the
PayStation. This allows the enclosure to be
retrofitted to add the light kit later if so
desired.
11. We highly recommend HIRING a qualified
electrician to perform the following!
12. Secure the 3 electrical wires as follows:
A. Connect the AC hot line to Terminal
Block 1, Pin #1.
B. Connect the AC neutral line to Terminal
Block 1, Pin #5.
C. Connect the safety ground / earth
ground TO THE GROUND STUD OF THE
CABINET!
13. Refer Page 6 for the hook ups for the Car
Wash Controller input lines.
NOTE: The only way to get a duplicate set of
keys made is to save the silver tag that
comes between the keys. ______________.
