anyvendingcom Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I have this problem on some of the machines (I am new)....I feel up the coin mechanism and a week later, coins are less in the coin mechanism and they are in the bucket. I know there is a way to setup so the coin mechanism remains full and the excess goes in the bucket. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My single price soda machines use coinco changers, and there are dip switches on them. One is labeled LO25 if you have it on the quarters dump into the bucket when the tube is half full, so everytime you fill it up, it dispenses quarters from the tube for change, but dumps extras into the coin box until it falls below the set amount. Only then will it put quarters back into the tube. Multi price machines have a similar setup, but honestly everyone of those that I own has been set up to fill up when I got it, so I haven't had to mess with the setting.

I am not sure how to set them up. Its few of them out of a lot, but I would like to fix it if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technivend Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I have this problem on some of the machines (I am new)....I feel up the coin mechanism and a week later, coins are less in the coin mechanism and they are in the bucket.

When you get there and the coins are low in the coin mech have you tried inserting coins to see where they go? Jeremy is right about the quarter switch and that we really need to know what type of coin acceptor you have. Some of the newer changers have an adjustable float level they may be set on your mech.

dogcow Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 are u sure it is properly accepting every coin type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyvendingcom Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think the setup is on the board itself, but one of the coin mechs is: Mars TRC-6000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEREMYTINA Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think the setup is on the board itself, but one of the coin mechs is: Mars TRC-6000 That changer needs to have switch 2 set to the off position. Otherwise it will only hold 6 quarters in the tube. When it's set to off it will hold 69. If the other tubes are low, i bet you are only keeping 6 quarters in there and running out of change in the tube, so it spits out all of your nickels and dimes to make change. But you should check like dogcow and technivend said, and make sure that all coins are being accepted and stored in the tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Just to muddy the waters..... this also could be caused by the usage patterns of your customers. Running short on quarters could mean they are using the machine as a bill changer. Short on dimes or nickels could be caused by the price point of the items. For example, a drink machine set at .60 will usually run short on nickels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
