Home machine help (PCB)

Post by Masaman »

Hi,

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

I have just purchased Psycho Cash Beast for home use. It is a 25p play, £15 jackpot machine.

I am a but confused as to how the bank/hopper system works and was hoping someone could explain it in idiot terms.

When I play with change (10p,50p etc) it falls into the 2nd tub in the bottom but when I use £1 coins they don't seem to fall anywhere. I put £50 in the chute that said 'pound coins' with a downward arrow as I thought this would act as a float.

Is there a standard float amount or can you set this manually and where are my quids going!!

Thank you in advance.

The machine wont know how many coins are in the float if you just put £50 straight in. What to do is:
1/ Open cash door and front door.
2/ Put refill key in and turn.
3/ Press hopper dump button (next to cash boxes at bottom) You should hear a beep.
4/ Press start button to dump hopper contents.
5/ Put the pound coins back in the hopper.
6/ The machine now knows how much is in the hopper.
The hopper is designed to hold £125 as a float, so all the pound coins you put in will go into the hopper until such time as it reaches £125.
You can check the balance when the machine is closed by turning the refill key.

P.S Should have posted in the technical area!
