n Systems for Car Parks and Leisure CentresChipCoin Processing Manual2Article no. of chapter: 86 93538 (c)1IntroductionAt an entry the coin feeder is located directly in front of the hopper. In case of aChipCoin request the coin goes from the hopper to the coin feeder, where it isguided through the coin channel via stopper and reject magnets and coded andread by an installed antenna coil.At an exit the ChipCoin inserted by the customer goes directly into the coinfeeder. Here it is read via the antenna coil and, when found to be valid, is movedon to the collector receptacle; the gate opens. ChipCoins without exitauthorisation are returned via a reject mechanism to be removed by the customer.At an automatic pay machine the ChipCoin inserted by the customer likewisegoes directly to the coin feeder. It is read via the antenna coil and "parked" thereas long as necessary until the customer has paid the fee calculated. Simultaneousto that the insertion aperture of the coin channel (shutter) closes in order toprevent insertion of coins into the coin feeder.Due to the different demands (with shutter, without shutter, different coin inlet)different coin feeders are used for entrance, exit and automatic teller.All versions are based on identical coin channels (black coin feeder casing)which are varyingly fitted with magnets, reflex couplers and mechanicalcomponents.First of all the different versions and their functional operation will be explained.Maintenance tips will be given on the basis of a fully outfitted coin channel.1.1 Block diagramPIT BasestationI/OCOM1/EPR12VI/OsI/OsChipCoin Interface HopperPower supply PowerAntennasCoin feederEntry only

In thisway insertion of foreign matter by pedestrians (vandalism) is prevented.In standard position the shutter is closed, the stopper magnet blocks the ChipCoinand the rejector plate stands in the "Reject coin" position (output to the front).If the loop is driven over, the shutter is opened. (Magnet pulls tight). TheChipCoin is inserted and is blocked at the read/write antenna by the stoppermagnet. The ChipCoin is analysed.If it entitles the holder to exit, the stopper magnet and the reject magnet pulltight. The ChipCoin falls into the exit collector receptacle and the gate is opened.If the ChipCoin is invalid (eg, the period of grace is exceeded; supplementalpayment) the stopper magnet pulls tight and the ChipCoin is outputted to thefront via the reject plate. The gate does not open. The reason for this is shown tothe customer on the display.Reject magnet for invalid ChipCoinsShutter flapShutter magnetRead/write antennaReflex coupler circuit boardStopper magnet forread/write operationReject plate for invalid ChipCoinsCoin channel(covered by mounting plate)Mounting plate
n Systems for Car Parks and Leisure CentresManual ChipCoin ProcessingArticle no. of chapter: 86 93538 (c) 52.3 Automatic Pay Station2.3.1 FunctionAt the automatic teller the shutter closes upon insertion of a ChipCoin andthereby prevents the customer from inserting coins into the coin feeder.In standard condition the shutter is opened and the stopper magnet blocks theChipCoin.If the customer has inserted the ChipCoin for analysis, this is recognised by thereflex coupler and the shutter is closed (the magnet drops down). The ChipCoin ispositioned in front of the read/write antenna by the stopper magnet. The amountto be paid is determined and displayed.When the payment operation is completed, the authorisation to exit is coded onthe ChipCoin and the stopper magnet is briefly pulled tight. The ChipCoin fallsinto the return change cup for removal.Suggestion:In order to avoid blockage/disturbance by foreign matter (e g, coins), the stoppermagnet at regular intervals pulls tight briefly so that such items are diverteddown into the return change cup.Shutter flapShutter magnetRead/write antennaReflex coupler circuit boardStopper magnet forread/write operationCoin channel(covered by mounting plate)Mounting plate

Inorder to increase its capacity and to make refilling easier, a funnel has beenmounted on top of the hopper. In order to check the supply of ChipCoins, thefunnel has been provided with viewing holes.Control and voltage supply occur via a connection to the ChipCoin interface.Coin output occurs via a chain. In order to ensure that the coins reach the rightproperly start-positioned for transport via the chain, with every movement of thechain there occurs additionally the movement of one of the slides driven by anexcentre. Both the chain and the slide are driven by the same motor.3.1 ViewFront view Side viewConnection plug forChipCoin interfaceDrive motorSliding shaftFunnel receptacle /ChipCoin inputChipCoin exit to coinfeederChipCoin drive trackName plate
n Systems for Car Parks and Leisure CentresManual ChipCoin ProcessingArticle no. of chapter: 86 93538 (c) 93.2 Maintenance and serviceThe hopper is maintenance-free. Should it ever occur that, despite plentifulsupply of coins, no ChipCoin is outputted, then possibly a jam may have occurred.Check to see if the hopper upon a ChipCoin request makes a short movement. Ifthis is the case and no jam obtains in the coin feeder, then take the hopper outand empty it. Jams can normally be eliminated by shaking the hopper. You willhear if the ChipCoin releases. Then fill the hopper again and put it back in. Turnthe entrance on again and check its functioning.Never work on the hopper with the current turned on. First turnthe entrance off and then remove the plug from the hopper.

It has a serial interface for connection to the single-board computer or thePMK computer as well as having two antenna connections.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limitsfor a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Theselimits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmfulinterference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed andused in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radiocommunications. However, there is no guaranteethat interference will not occur in a particular installation. If thisequipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televisionreception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off andon, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one ormore of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different fromthat to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Changes and modifications not expressly approved by Scheidt &Bachmann can void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
