A label indicating the changer’s model number
and serial number can be found on the side of
the coin changer. Refer to the model number
and serial number whenever you call your
Coinco Service Center for information or
service.
The first four digits of the serial number indi-
cate when the unit was built which is also the
beginning of the warranty period. The first two
digits indicate the week of manufacture; the
third and fourth digits indicate the year of
manufacture. For example, Serial Number
249807053 would indicate the unit was manu-
factured in the 24th week of 1998.
The model number indicates the country,
currency, interface type and payout configura-
tion of the coin changer.

indicate the Country Banking Code (USD =
United States / Dollar, CAD = Canada / Dollar).
The fourth letter indicates the changer model
(G = MDB, S = Single Price, L = Logic, F =

digits represent the changer’s payout configura-
tion.

After Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, inspect it for any
possible shipping damage. If the unit is dam-
aged, notify the shipping company immedi-
ately. Only the consignee (the person or com-
pany receiving the unit) can file a claim against
the carrier for shipping damage. We recom-
mend that you keep the original carton and
packing materials to reuse if you need to
transport or ship your changer in the future.
If the coin changer is being stored or used as a
spare, always keep it in its shipping carton
when not in use. This will keep it clean and
offer the best protection for the unit.

SETTING THE VEND PRICE/OPTION
SWITCH
Located behind the acceptor in the middle right
hand side of the changer housing are twelve
switches (see figure 2). The vend price is set
using the first eight switches, the last four
switches are used to enable or disable different
options.
VEND PRICE
The vend price is set in single increments up to
255 times the lowest denomination coin ac-
cepted by the changer and routed to a coin tube.
In most cases this will be a nickel.
Example: If the lowest denomination coin
accepted to a tube for payout is a nickel, the
highest vend price setting would be 255 (times)
.05 or $12.75, in this case the value of the price
switches are: 1=.05, 2=.10, 3=.20, 4=.40, 5=.80,
6=1.60, 7=3.20, 8=6.40.
When the top of the rocker switch is pushed in,
it is in the ON position. If switches 1, 3 and 4
are ON, the vend price would be $.65, if the
lowest denomination coin accepted to a payout
tube is a nickel.

ON Vend is held until a selection is made
OFF Vend is pulsed (300 msec)
SWITCH D (SWITCH 12)
When to enter “Use Correct Change”condition.
ON The changer will use the vend price plus
the largest denomination coin accepted
(U.S. = $1.00). This is the amount of
money reported in the tubes to the logic
board to shut the correct change light
off.
Example: $.50 vend price pluse $1.00
coin = $1.50
OFF The changer uses the factory settings.
U.S. = $1.00, Canada = $2.00
SAVING THE VEND PRICE
To save the vend price and option switch
setting (in the coin changer’s memory), press
and release the Mode Button located above the
price switch. The Main Logic Board LED and
the “Use Correct Change”light on the vendor
will flash once, indicating that price was re-
corded.
The vend price must be set to an amount greater
than zero for the changer to accept coins.
Note: If a Single Price Changer is used in an
MDB machine, set the vend prices on the
machine controller board, NOT in the coin
changer.

Setting The Vend Price On
A Fo r-Price Changer
The vend price may be set on a four-price
changer in two ways:
•via the first eight Option Switches;
•via Global Support Tools.
VIA OPTION SWITCHES
Located directly above the Option Switch
Module is the Main Logic Board LED and the
Mode Button (see Figure 2).
1. Set the vend price by adding the amount of
the appropriate switches and setting them to
the ON position (see Figure 5).
2. Set Option Switches A, C and D to the
desired configuration (see “Option Switch
Module”section of this manual). Switch B
must be ON in a four-price changer.
3. After setting the desired vend prices and
options on the Option Switch Module,
PRESS AND RELEASE the Mode Button.
The Main Logic Board LED and “Use
Correct Change”light will begin flashing.
4. Within 30 seconds, press and release any
one desired product selection switch on the
front of the machine. The present price on
the switch module is now set for all selec-
tions on that price line and the Main Logic
Board LED and “Use Correct Change”light
will stop flashing.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the remaining
three price lines have been assigned a vend
price.
EXAMPLE: If the first, fourth and fifth price
setting switches are in the UP position, the vend
price setting would be 25 x 1 or 25 (assuming
the lowest denomination coin accepted is 1).
NOTE: If the price for one or more of the
selections is set to zero, that selection is a free
vend.

Consult Global Support Tools manual for price
setting instructions.
Setting The Vend Price On
L/L+ and MDB Changers
Vend prices for L and MDB changers are set
through the vending machine controller (VMC).
See vending machine manual for details.
Man al Fill Mode
When Float Mode is OFF (see “Float Mode”

be constantly ON and all coin tube levels are
set to the high tube sensor. Pressing and releas-
ing acceptor buttons C & D will enter the
Manual Fill Mode and the acceptor LED will

HAND LOADING
To hand load the coin tubes, tilt the coin tube
loading door open, load the four tubes with
appropriate coins. Make sure all coins lay flat
and that each tube is filled at least to the 20%
mark ($.05 = 15-16 coins, $.10 = 23-24 coins,
$.25 = 18-19 coins, $1.00 = 15-16 coins).
Payout at least two coins from each tube to
verify tubes are loaded correctly.
Note: If your Four Tube coin changer does not
have a quarter or dollar payout tube, it is best
to load one nickel tube and/or one dime bute all
the way to the top (to cover the upper tube
sensors) rather than filling mulitple similar
tubes part way full. This will ensure the bill
acceptor stays enabled for a longer period of
time.
