ChipCoin Processing Manual
1. Introduction
At an entry the coin feeder is located directly in front of the hopper. In case of a
ChipCoin request the coin goes from the hopper to the coin feeder, where it is
guided through the coin channel via stopper and reject magnets and coded and
read by an installed antenna coil.
At an exit the ChipCoin inserted by the customer goes directly into the coin feeder.
Here it is read via the antenna coil and, when found to be valid, is moved on to the
collector receptacle; the gate opens. ChipCoins without exit authorisation are
returned via a reject mechanism to be removed by the customer.
At an automatic pay machine the ChipCoin inserted by the customer likewise
goes directly to the coin feeder. It is read via the antenna coil and "parked" there as
long as necessary until the customer has paid the fee calculated. Simultaneous to
that the insertion aperture of the coin channel (shutter) closes in order to prevent
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.

2.1.1. Function
As soon as a vehicle drives over the loop, the ChipCoin, which has already been
positioned by the stopper magnet in front of the read/write antenna, is coded.
After pressing the ChipCoin request button the stopper magnet is pulled tight and
the ChipCoin is thereby released for output.
If the ChipCoin cannot be coded, the stopper magnet and the reject magnet pull
tight and the ChipCoin falls into the collector receptacle.
If the ChipCoin is not removed within a predefined period of time, the stopper
magnet pulls tight and the coin is dropped into the collector receptacle.
After removing the coded ChipCoin a new ChipCoin is brought into position in front
of the read/write antenna.

2.2.1. Function
The shutter releases the ChipCoin insert chute if a vehicle is on the loop. In this
way insertion of foreign matter by pedestrians (vandalism) is prevented.
In standard position the shutter is closed, the stopper magnet blocks the ChipCoin
and 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). The ChipCoin
is inserted and is blocked at the read/write antenna by the stopper magnet. The
ChipCoin is analysed.
If it entitles the holder to exit, the stopper magnet and the reject magnet pull tight.
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; supplemental
payment) the stopper magnet pulls tight and the ChipCoin is outputted to the front
via the reject plate. The gate does not open. The reason for this is shown to the
customer on the display.

2.3.1. Function
At the automatic teller the shutter closes upon insertion of a ChipCoin and thereby
prevents the customer from inserting coins into the coin feeder.
In standard condition the shutter is opened and the stopper magnet blocks the
ChipCoin.
If the customer has inserted the ChipCoin for analysis, this is recognised by the
reflex coupler and the shutter is closed (the magnet drops down). The ChipCoin is
positioned in front of the read/write antenna by the stopper magnet. The amount to
be paid is determined and displayed.
When the payment operation is completed, the authorisation to exit is coded on the
ChipCoin and the stopper magnet is briefly pulled tight. The ChipCoin falls into the
return change cup for removal.
Suggestion:
In order to avoid blockage/disturbance by foreign matter (e g, coins), the stopper
magnet at regular intervals pulls tight briefly so that such items are diverted down
into the return change cup.

2.4. Maintenance and service
2.4.1. Outside
The small number of movable parts reduces maintenance expense to the coin
feeder to a minor level. The following suggestions should, however, be heeded in
order to ensure permanent faultfree operations.

• The entire coin feeder should be checked on both inside and outside for dirt and,
if necessary, should be cleaned. Be careful, in doing so, of the shutter and
rejector magnet mechanism (d,g).
• In case of serious dirt accumulation an air pump can be used for cleaning.
• Check for the smooth working of the shutter plate (c) and the reject plate (h).
Only the spring tension (l) should be allowed to show any perceptible
resistance.
• Check for tight fit of the read/write antenna (i,j).

• Check the sticker (d) for dirt. It must have a light-coloured reflecting surface.
• Check the reflex coupler (e) for dirt.
• For cleaning the coin channel use an air pump, a brush or a soft rag.
• Check to see that the stopper magnets (f,g) work smoothly. They must let
themselves be pressed in easily upon pressure from the encapsulated spiral
spring. Under no circumstances may they be hard to move, nor should they stick
tight.

3. Entry hopper
The entrance hopper stores the ChipCoins and conveys them to the coin feeder. In
order to increase its capacity and to make refilling easier, a funnel has been
mounted on top of the hopper. In order to check the supply of ChipCoins, the funnel
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 right
properly start-position for transport via the chain, with every movement of the chain
there occurs additionally the movement of one of the slides driven by an eccentric.
Both the chain and the slide are driven by the same motor.

3.2. Maintenance and service
The hopper is maintenance-free. Should it ever occur that, despite plentiful supply
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. If
this is the case and no jam obtains in the coin feeder, then take the hopper out and
empty it. Jams can normally be eliminated by shaking the hopper. You will hear if
the ChipCoin releases. Then fill the hopper again and put it back in. Turn the
entrance on again and check its functioning.
Never work on the hopper with the current turned on. First turn
the entrance off and then remove the plug from the hopper.
