18.The Service menu also offers a ‘Convert Currency’ function. This function is
used in situations where the Coin Changer is required to accept two different
currency types. Currency conversion can only be set if multiple currencies are
programmed into the Coin Changer as part of the operating software. Token
programming may also be used in some cases to satisfy this requirement.
Contact your JCM Representative for further details on this subject.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Specific A-66 installation safety precautions to observe are:
• To remove power from the vending machine prior to removing, installing, or
replacing subassemblies on the Coin Changer
• To never connect or disconnect the 6-pin MDB Harness Connector from the Coin
Changer while power is applied
• To keep water and other liquids away from the Coin Changer.
Caution: The Coin Changer contains printed circuit boards which contain
ESD sensitive components that may be damaged beyond repair due to
electrostatic discharge. Please observe proper handling instructions when
working around and with static sensitive components.

UNIT INSTALLATION
V ENDING M ACHINE I NSTALLATION
To properly install an A-66 into a Vending Machine perform the following
steps:
1. Disconnect AC power to the Vending Machine.
2. Lift up on the White colored locking lever located on the top right side of the
A-66 Coin Changer chassis.
3. Grasp the Validator unit at the top and tilt it out forward about 45 degrees until
the two lower guide pins located at the bottom of the unit raise up midway from
their locked position. The validator may now be pulled out of the A-66 assembly.
4. Disconnect the ribbon cable from the rear of the unit and temporarily set the
Validator unit aside.
5. Mount the A-66 Coin Changer into the Vending Machine using the three (3)
screw holes located on the back inside of the A-66 chassis.
6. Tighten the mounting screws, and reinsert the Validator Unit back into the A-66
chassis by inserting the lower guide pins in first, then pushing forward until the
Validator 'clicks' into place.
7. Reconnect all internal power and interconnect cables as required.
8. Restore AC power to the Vending Machine.
NOTE: Two of the holes are located at the top of the chassis while the third hole is
located about 4 inches lower on the left side back wall (See Figure 2).

13.From the ‘Settings’ Screen again, select ‘Other Settings’. This screen is
depicted in Figure 28 and presents the following data:
•Smallest Coin Value: This is a reference value for all coins currently
programmed. All coin values requiring acceptance must be a multiple of the
smallest coin value.
•Telephone Code and Currency Code: These codes are used together to set
the Vending Machine’s language and currency type.
• MDB Feature Level:
– Level 2: The Vending Machine Controller controls all payout functions.
– Level 3: The Coin Changer controls all payout functions.
14.On the Main Menu Screen, click on the ‘Service’ Screen Button (See Figure 29
a). The Service Sub-menu shown in Figure 30 on page 24 consists of four (4)
choices (i.e., Payout Set, Filling Levels, Teach Token, and Convert Currency).
15.Select ‘Payout Set’ and the screen is shown in Figure 31 on page 24 will
appear. The user may test the payout motors by selecting individual coin tubes
(L, ML, MR, R). The ‘Counter’ value indicates the number of coins in each
tube. This value may be edited if incorrect by clicking on the ‘Edit counter’
Screen Button.

SENSORS & COIN VALIDATION
S ENSORS
• The coin path in the Validator contains various optical, inductive, and magnetic
sensors used for coin validation and acceptance
• An optical sensor located just below the Acceptor Gate in the Validator Unit
functions as a 'coin accepted' sensor
• An array of optical sensors in the Coin Tube Section are used to keep track of the
current coin levels in each tube (i.e., Empty, 50%, 75%, 100%)
• An optical sensor located on each of the Payout Motors is used to indicate a 'payout
complete' operation. Should a payout error occur, the unit will attempt to clear the
problem and retry three (3) times before timing out.
• An optical sensor is located in the Cash Box Channel. The coin channel itself is
made of opaque plastic allowing the user to visually inspect the specific coin
channel for jams or edge standing coins.
C OIN V ALIDATION
• An inserted coin falls into the Validator section via the funnel where it rides down
the Fly Deck towards the Acceptance Gate.
• It then passes by and through optical, magnetic, and inductive sensors which
operate at various frequencies.
• The sensors measure the various properties of the coin such as diameter, mass,
density, weight, hardness, embossing, alloy type, rim size, and (if applicable)
bi-color attributes like ring material and core laminate material.
The resulting electrical measurements are unique to each coin. Upper and lower
limits are established for the measured values which are stored in memory as
'acceptance band' information.
• As long as a coin measures within the 'acceptance band' window, it is considered
'valid', the 'acceptance gate' opens, and the coin is passed to the coin sorting gates
where it is then sorted either to the correct coin tube or to the cash box, depending
on whether the respective coin tube is full or how the Coin Changer has been
programmed.
• If a coin measures outside of the 'acceptance band' limits, the coin is considered
invalid, is rejected, and exits the Coin Changer via the Coin Return Slot.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
P REVENTIVE M AINTENANCE
Liquids, dust build-up, and other small foreign materials that inadvertently
enter the Coin Changer can interfere with sensor measurements, cause coin
jams, or affect the accepted/rejected coin rate.
Clean the Coin Validator Unit from time to time with a damp cloth.
Use lukewarm water containing a mild dish cleaning liquid detergent.
Use canned/compressed air to blow out the unit after it has been cleaned and
wiped clean.
C LEANING P ROCEDURE
Perform the following steps to clean an A-66 Coin Changer:
1. Remove AC Power to the Vending Machine.
2. Press up on the Locking Catch Lever and open the Coin Validator's Fly Deck.
3. Wipe the coin runway clean inside the coin validation area.
4. Use compressed air to blow away any remaining particles.
5. Close the Coin Validator's Fly Deck and gently press in on the White dot located
beneath the 'Close' arrow until the metal spring engages behind the lever and a
‘click’ is heard.
6. Reconnect AC power to the Vending Machine.
NOTE: WHEN CLEANING THE COIN CHANGER, DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OF
ANY KIND, OR SCOURING AGENTS WHICH CAN HARM THE PLASTIC
SURFACES OF THE UNIT!
NOTE: Under no circumstances should the cloth be wet enough to allow excess
fluid to run into the unit, which could possibly cause internal circuit board damage.

4. Select the ‘Operating Modes’ Screen Button to obtain the screen depicted in
Figure 20. Select the desired functions and then click on ‘Send’ to program the
A-66 Coin Changer. Selecting ‘Cancel’ will return you to the ‘Settings’ menu.
A description of each function is provided in the Operating Modes Menu are as
follows:

•Blocked —Inventory Keypad is disabled
•Enabled by Machine Control —Inventory Keypad can be enabled by
the Vending Machine
•Enabled —Inventory Keypad is enabled
Pay-out security stock allowed: Enables the machine to pay out the
entire contents of the coin tubes.
Float up function on: Enable to allow float levels in the coin tubes.
Float values may be set on the coin settings page.
Tube counter with security stock: allows for including security
stock levels when transmitting the coin tube levels to the VMC.
