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.

All versions are based on identical coin channels (black coin feeder casing)

which are varyingly fitted with magnets, reflex couplers and mechanical

components.

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.
