Things to look for…
•Remove bills fromthe drum until you see a “space”between the bills.
Normally, this is between two and five bills.
Also, do a visual inspection for any dirt and
debris that may have caused the jam.
VN2700R Installation DO’s…
• Make sure power to the vending machine is OFF .
• Make sure bezel mounts flush. Use set-back spacer if necessary.
• Make sure all DIP switches are in the OFF posit
ion if using the Configuration Coupon to
configure the VN2700R.
• Make sure cabling does not interfere with the mechanical operation of the VN2700R.
Use cable ties when possible.
• Make sure there is adequate clearance around the VN2700R when all doors are
closed.
• Make sure the VN2700R recycler cable with the yellow flag marked COINMECH ONLY
is attached to the coin changer only. NO OTHER ITEMS CAN BE CONNECTED
BETWEEN THE VN2700R AND THE COIN MECHANISM.
• Make sure to attach the green , ground wire, (if provided), to a mounting stud and
secure with the appropriately-sized nut.
• Check MEI Recycler Compatibility Chart on the web site. If the software on the VMC
is not up to date, update to the latest version that is listed on
the compatibility chart. Visit www.meitechnical.com. Select
Documentation, then VN2700R. You can also scan this barcode
into your phone and you'll be directed right to MEI's website:
• Hand-tighten only the installation nuts.
• Only use a 500-bill cassette or smaller with the VN2700R unless there is adequate
space for larger cassettes.
• If cables are routed under the recycler module, make sure there is adequate slack in
the cable to avoid stress to the 30-pin connector.
• The Recycler may not touch any cable and must be mounted within 0 ° of plumb. Nuts
may be added to the mounting screws to create a gap behind the Recycler to keep it
vertical.
Mounting and Clearance
• After mounting the recycler, slide your hand underneath to make
sure there are no items making contact with the recycler - such as
the lower mounting studs, coin chutes or coin return hardware.
• Only use Set Back Spacer if needed. It could cause interference
with the cold door. Set Back Spacer must be
used with the four extender nuts provided with
the Recycler if mounting studs on the machine
are not long enough.
Bezel Requirements
• Approved bezeltypes: (VFM, HVB, Compact, 3-in-1, 4-in-1 and Combo bezels only). If
the metal bezel is used, it needs to be grounded to the VNR by scraping off some of
the paint on the bezel to ensure a positive ground to the bezel.
• H igh V isibility B ezels (Compact and VFM styles) – Require software version 1.17 or
greater. If the first three serial numbers on the bill validator are
489 xxxxxxxx or
higher, software version is OK. If not, use BPM-Lite to update your validator.
• Bezel must be mounted flush against the machine door. It must be mounted absolutely
vertical with no tilt and 0
° of plumb.

Calibration Procedure
1. Apply power to the VN2700R. The rear display will read
2.
To access the Setup menu, press and hold the “SELECT” button for 3 seconds
or until flashes.
3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold “MODE” until (Load) begins to flash.
4. Press and release the “MODE” button 3 times until (Setup) appears.
5.
Press the “SELECT” button. (recycled bill) will appear.
6.
Press the “MODE” button 6 times until the display shows (Profile)
7. Press the “Select” button. (Calibrate) will appear.
8. Press the “Select” button again and
will blink rapidly.
►You are now ready to calibrate the VN2700R. ◄
9. Insert the Calibration paper supplied with the unit.
(ONLY insert the Calibration paper. DO NOT insert a bill or coupon.)
The Calibration paper will be drawn into the Recycler and then ejected in a
series of steps as calibration takes place. In a few more seconds, the unit
will reset with a “run and stack” action. After calibration, the rear display
will show “0” indicating the Recycler is currently empty and ready for use.
10. Calibration is now complete!
•Remove the set back spacer from the bezel before installation. The spacer is
only used on select snack machines and will often cause interference issues with
beverage machines.
•Make sure the Recycler is mounted flush against the front panel, without any
cable or mechanical interference. Particularly, look for screws or studs that are
too long. NOTHING can press on the recycler in any way. Even the slightest
pressure will misalign it and cause it to fail. Use configuration coupon (CP mode)
to set the recycler to accept $10's and or $20's. The default from the factory
accepts $1's & $5's.
•The Capacity (CA) is set to 25 from the factory.
•Set the Recycled bill (rb) to $1 or $5. Factory default is$1.
•Set Interface Level (IF) to the appropriate setting. L3 is the default. Set to L2 if
accepting up to $20’s. Set to rE if operating in MDB revision 4 mode.
•The Accept Inhibit (AI) Option can be set to “Yes”. When set to “Yes”, the
recycler will inhibit acceptance of high-value bills if it cannot payout the majority
of change in bills. This prevents the changer from being emptied out by a single
transaction.
Note: If your VN2700 was manufactured prior to week 48, 2009, you
will need to send your Bill Validator to an Authorized Service Center to
be upgraded with a Recycler Module. If your VN2700 has the Recycler
Ready Symbol on the label, your VN2700 can be upgraded in the field.
1. Make sure power to the vending machine is OFF.
2. Remove Bill Cassette.
3. Disconnect and remove “Y” MDB cable.
(This cable is not used with the Recycler.)
4. Remove the VN2700 from the vending Machine.
5. Remove the Black Rain Shield by pressing a screwdriver in the bottom slot and
sliding the cover up. Install the new Rain Shield. Slide it down until it snaps into
place. (The difference between the two shieldsis that the new one has the edge
filed off so that the new 30-pin connector from the Recycler will fit.)
6. Remove bottom LED Housing – Pull up the
metal bar and remove the housing from the
chassis. Disconnect the 8-pin cable going to
the VN2700 control board.
7. Insert Recycler module. Make sure it clicks into place.
(Pull back on the Recycler to ensure it locked into place.)
8. Connect Recycler harness to the FRONT of the Bill
Validator using the 30-pin connector.
9. Connect the 8-pin connector between Recycler and
the SIDE of the bill validator, (where the bottom of
the LED housing was connected.)
10.Connect the 6-pin Male MDB COINMECH ONLY cable to the coin changer.
(NEVER connect a device between the coin changer and the VN2700R.)
11.Connect the 6-pin Female MDB connector to the Vending Machine Controller.
12.Double check connections and then apply power to the vending machine.
13. If the MODE/SELECT display on the back of the VN2700R is ON, you are
ready to proceed to the Calibration Procedure. If the display is not on,
double check for loose connections.
1. You MUST have the Bill Programming Module (BPM)
programmed with the latest Recycler code.
-Power Down the Vending Machine’s Payment Systems -
2. Disconnect the MDB connector that supplies
power and communication to the Recycler.
3. Connect BPM connector in between the Recycler and the
machine. (There is no connection to the 30-pin BPM
connector. This is for service center use only.)
4. Power up the machine. Recycler display will power up
normally, and the RED and GREEN LEDs on the BPM
will begin to Flash. NOTE: Programming will take
about 8 minutes to complete. DO NOT interrupt
this process or you will have to restart the process
from the beginning. DO NOT turn off the power and
DO NOT unplug any cables while the BPM programs
the Recycler.
5. The unit will start to download software to the Recycler
from the BPM as indicated by the “Double Flash” of the
GREEN LED. Unit will display
6. A “Constant Flash” of the GREEN LED indicates that the unit is downloading
software to the Bill Validator. Unit will display
7. When programming is complete, the unit will do a complete Reset, followed by
a normal Run and Stack. The GREEN LED will remain “Constant ON”.
NOTE: If at any time the RED and GREEN LEDs flash in an alternating
fashion, there is a problem with the programming cycle and it needs to
start over. To start over, turn OFF the machine power,
count to five, then turn ON the machine power.
8. When programming is complete, power OFF the machine
and disconnect the BPM.
9. Reconnect Recycler to the machine and then power ON
the machine.
