1 . I N TROD UCTI ON
This m anual contains t he t echnical inform at ion on t he rot ating hoppers in t he Hopper U- I I .
The following m odels are included in t his fam ily of products:
- H oppe r U - I I cct a lk
- H oppe r U - I I cct a lk e n cr yp t ed
- H oppe r U - I I cct a lk plu s
- H oppe r U - I I cct a lk p lu s e ncr ypt e d
- H opper U- I I conv ent iona l
- H opper U- I I conv ent iona l plu s
The rot ating Hopper U- I I is a result of the redesigning process of the t radit ional Hopper U,
obtaining an opt im ised version of t he hopper. This product is 100% com pat ible with t he
previous Hopper U m odel.
This docum ent contains all t he characteristics of t his new product , concent rat ing especially on
the benefit s this hopper provides in com parison t o t he t raditional Hopper U.
2 . GEN ERAL D ESCRI PTI ON .
A rotat ing hopper of t he U- I I series is an int elligent m echanism designed for t he ret urn or
payout of change of a part icular coin t ype. I t wor ks in com binat ion w ith anot her int elligent
m echanism t hat governs it and of which it form s part ( gam ing, vending, parking m achines,
etc).
These hoppers have a m ult icoin ext ract ion system . The m ulticoin system is defined as a
system that allows t hese hoppers to payout a coin whose dim ensions are bet ween 12 and 32
m m in diam et er and 1.2 t o 3.5 m m t hick.
The product is highly reliable, and has a useful life t hat guarant ees a m inim um of 2 m illion coin
ext ractions.
2 .1 . CAPACI TY OF TH E H OPPER U- I I .
The quantity of coins t hat can be st ored in t he coin bay of the hopper depends on t he m odel.
There are 4 different m odels in the series that provide a range of coin capacit ies. There is also
the possibilit y to increase their capacit y by t he use of supplem ent s.

The m ult icoin ext raction system of the hopper U-I I , guarant ies the payout of coins whose
dim ensions ar e bet ween 1.2 and 3.5 m m t hick, and 12 t o 32 m m in ø.
Consult sect ion “ COIN EXTRACTOR DISK”for m ore det ails.
2 .3 . D ETECTI ON OF FU LL AN D EM PTY
The Hopper U-I I has det ection m echanism s t hat detect t he full and em pt y levels of t he coins in
the coin bay.
The detection of em pty is done by using an electronic infrared photocell system . ( See det ails in
section “COIN LEVEL DETECTORS.)
The detection of full is carried out in two different ways:
- Using t wo infrar ed phot ocells that work in t he sam e way as t he em pt y det ect ion phot ocells.
( See det ails in sect ion “ COIN LEVEL DETECTORS.) .
- Using elect rom ech an ical scales. ( See det ails in sect ion “4.13.3. Electromechanical scales.”).

2 .4 . D OU BLE COUN TI N G.
The Hopper U- I I has a coin exit control system t hat provides added protect ion against at tem pt s
of fraud. When t he Hopper U-I I has t his m echanism inst alled, it is called Hopper U-I I plus.
I t is a m echanism based on an opt ic syst em that cont rols t he m ovem ent of t he t rigger, in a way
that t he exit of t he coin is announced by t his m echanism and confirm ed by t he opt ic sensor
that count s t he coins. This m echanism is available for t he Hopper U-I I parallel, and for t he
Hopper U- I I cct alk.
2 .4 .1 Hopper U- I I plus cct alk .
When any anom aly occurs, w hich could be an at tem pt at fraud, it will be com m unicat ed by t he
Hopper U- I I plus cct alk as a reply t o t he cct alk er ror com m and “ 16 3 Test Hopper” ( See det ails
in t he m anual “ Pr ot ocol cct alk H opp er U - I I ”)
I t is possible t o t ransform a standard Hopper U- I I int o a Hopper U- I I plus with a kit . Once the
kit is inst alled, it is only necessary to change t he posit ion of dipswit ch 7 ( t o ON) so t hat t he
st andard U- I I standard works as a Hopper U- I I plus.
2 .4 .2 Hopper U- I I plus conve nt iona l.
When any anom aly occurs, w hich could be an at tem pt at fraud, it will be com m unicat ed by t he
Hopper U- I I plus convent ional using t he corresponding error com m ands ( see det ails in t he
m anual “ Pr ot ocol con ve n t ion al H op pe r U - I I ”) .
I t is possible t o t ransform a standard Hopper U- I I int o a Hopper U- I I plus with a kit . Once the
kit is inst alled, it is only n ecessary t o change t he posit ion of dipsw it ch 7 ( t o ON) , t his is
explained in “ Figu re 17. Configurat ion Hopper U- I I st andar d or plu s.
2 .5 . PAYOUT SPEED.
The Hopper U- I I pays out up t o 8 coins per second. This speed varies with t he different disks
used. See det ails in section “ COIN EXTRACTOR DISK” .
2 .6 . PROTOCOLS.
The Hopper U-I I can work with parallel prot ocol ( convent ional) and cct alk prot ocol. To see t he
convent ional Hopper U-I I protocol, consult t he m anual “Con ve n t iona l H oppe r U- I I Pr ot ocol”
To see t he cct alk Hopper U- I I protocol, consult t he m anual “cct a lk H opp er U- I I Pr ot ocol”
