GryphonTM Install Guide
Thank you for purchasing a Gryphon Coin Management system. Gryphon
mounts on the standard coin changer channel provided by vending machine
manufacturers.
Features
Gryphon is a reliable, easy-to-use and cost effective coin management system
that increases uptime and reduces cost of ownership.
–Easily customizable coin cassette with six auto-replenishing coin tubes for
maximum exibility
–LCD display panel with visual controls for quick diagnostics and simple
operation
–MDB Interface for quick installation in the majority of vending machines
Interface
Gryphon operates in machines that support the MDB Interface. MDB allows for
multiple devices to be added to a single connection on the vending machine
control board by linking devices in series to the main MDB harness.
Operating Voltage
Gryphon’s operating voltage is listed on the label on the side of the device.
Installation
Before installation, remove Gryphon from its packaging and ensure it arrived safely. Contact customer service at 1-800-345-8215 if it was damaged during shipping.
1. Turn off the power to the vending machine.
2. Push the yellow button on the top right of the coin manager and tilt the acceptor assembly forward to access the mounting holes. You do not have to remove the
cassette.
3. Hang Gryphon on the vending machine’s mounting studs, ensuring the unit is level. See Alignment section.
4. The lower mount (3) can be difcult to see through the device. Hanging Gryphon from the top two studs rst will help you locate the lower mount.
5. Tighten screws if necessary, being careful not to over-tighten, and close the acceptor assembly. The lower mount is difcult to access with a large screw
driver.
6. Remove the cassette. Lift it by the handle and pull towards you.
7. Fill the cassette with coins, ensuring the coins are inserted into the proper tubes.
8. Return the lled cassette to the Gryphon and ensure it is correctly seated.
9. Connect the MDB Cable.
- If you have a bill acceptor, connect the MDB harness from the Gryphon to the bill acceptor’s “Y Connector.”
10. Tuck any excess cabling inside the vending machine, ensuring
that the cables do not interfere with the Vending Machine or
Gryphon’s operation.
11. Connect the four pin Synq cable to a Synq, or route in a way that
will not impede the vendor’s operation.
12. Restore power to the vending machine.

After installation, ensure there is a small gap (2-4mm) between the lever on the vending machine and the return lever on the coin manager.
–Depress the coin return lever on the machine door, conrm that it fully opens the discriminator lid on the coin manager, then returns smoothly,
fully closing.
–Check the alignment between the coin input chute and the coin cup, ensuring it does not impede operation of the discriminator lid.
–Check the alignment between the base of Gryphon, the payout area and cash-box entry.
–Align, adjust and test as necessary to ensure coins are properly routed before continuing.
Gryphon’s MMI Screen has been designed with the end-user in mind. Gryphon will guide you through the nal setup and conguration using the
MMI screen, the A-F keys and the center Menu ( ≡ ) key.
The MMI updates its interface as needed in each section. Always use the on-screen guidance, but when in doubt, this chart lists general sub-menu
navigation tips.

Audit
Press ≡twice quickly (with the cassette in) to display audit information. Each section will display for three seconds before showing the amount of
change in each tube.
Par to Level: Sets the ll level for each coin. Coins above that level are sent to the cash-box.
Par to Value: Sets the ll level to a total cassette value. Once the value is achieved, coins are sent to the cash-box. Gryphon dynamically
alters the individual coin levels to minimize the need for manual rells.
Auto Par: Gryphon determines the optimal Par Level for your machine based on actual coin usage.
par
The coin manager will power up and check how many coins are in each tube. If the tubes are low, Gryphon will tell you which tubes to ll. You should ll all tubes
with a minimum of three coins per tube.
