To Install Sample Coins:
1. Place the unit with sample coin holders facing up.
2. Loosen the three thumb screws that secure the coin clamps.
Note: The solid-state technology of Slugbuster III requires sample coins
to function properly, specifically quarter and dollar coins. You must
insert a different sample coin in each of the three channels, whether
you accept them or not.
3. Insert 3 sample coins from the rear, right side of the unit. Use each
consecutive coin to push the next coin over, until the first coin is in the
left coin holder.
4. Line up each coin with the coin clamp and firmly push the clamps up into
the coils to seat the coins in proper position.
5. Recommended installation of sample coins:
Channel 1 – Quarter Channel 2 – Token Channel 3 – Dollar coin
Your Slugbuster is now ready to install and program.

Turning a Channel Off
During programming, press the ‘advance/delete’ button until the display reads OFF for the desired channel. The unit will now
reject the coin; however, you must leave the sample coin in the unit.
DO NOT use the sensitivity adjustment to turn a channel off. Sensitivity potentiometers should only be adjusted as a
last resort for acceptance problems.
Slugbuster must have sample coins installed in all three Channels, whether or not they are to be accepted. Do not use the
same
sample coin in more than one Channel.
Channel 1 – Quarter Channel 2 – Token or Nickel Channel 3 – Dollar coin (Susan B. Anthony or Golden Dollar)
To Program Your Slugbuster III:
1. First, set the value of the smallest coin to be accepted. Push and hold the ‘Program’ button until the display reads A .25.
Push the ‘advance’ or ‘decrease’ button to change the coin value. Ex: If a quarter is the smallest coin you will accept, set
the value to ‘A .25’.
2. Next, set the value of coin Channel 1. Push the ‘Program’ button one time, so the display reads b .25. Use the
‘advance’ or ‘decrease’ button to change the coin value. The value will be changed in increments according to the
smallest coin accepted, as set in step 1.
3. Set the value of coin Channel 2. Push the ‘Program’ button one time, so the display reads C 2.00. Use the ‘advance’ or
‘decrease’ button to change the coin value for Channel 2. The value will be changed in increments
according to the smallest coin accepted, as set in step 1.
4. Set the value of coin Channel 3. Push the ‘Program’ button once again, so the display reads d 1.00. Use the
‘advance’ or ‘decrease’ button to change the value for Channel 3. The value will be changed in increments according
to the smallest coin accepted, as set in step 1.
5. Push and hold the ‘Program’ button until a flashing dot appears in the lower center of the display. Your Slugbuster
is now ready to accept coins.
Viewing and Resetting Audit Channels
To review the audit channels, press and hold the ‘Program’ button until the display reads A .25, as in step 1 above. Continue
pushing the ‘Program’ button and cycle through the display, past d 1.00.
•The display will then flash CH-1 and read the number of coins accepted on Channel 1.
•Push ‘Program’ once more and the display will flash CH-2 and read the number of coins accepted on Channel 2.
•Push ‘Program’ again and the display will flash CH-3 and read the number of coins accepted on Channel 3.
To reset the audit channels, press and hold the ‘advance/delete’ button until the display reads zero while viewing each
channel’s audit as described above.
Adjusting Sensitivity
Sensitivity adjustment potentiometers (pots) are factory set for use with
US Quarters, 85/15 Tokens and US Dollar Coins. If it is necessary to adjust pots:
1. Remove the rubber plug for the desired channel
2. Using a small plastic stylus, turn the pot.
The safe range for adjustment is between ‘10 and 2 o’clock’
Do not adjust the pot beyond these ranges to avoid
credit and acceptance problems.
3. Replace the rubber plug.
If the unit is accepting incorrect coins, turn the pot counter-clockwise on the channel being credited.
If the unit is rejecting good coins, turn the pot clockwise for the channel not accepting coins.
