CWT Compact S2 Installation & Maintenance Manual

The coin verifier reveals if valid coins have been used. The verifier also includes sophisticated electronics for determining what type of coin is passing.

If a coin is valid, the movable coin ramp moves out of the way so the coin falls into the escrow. If the coin is invalid, the movable coin ramp guides it, via the scrap channel, into the coin return cup instead.

On the right side of the coin verifier (as seen from the front of the terminal) there is a lid.

 

Important:
The coin verifier can be opened manually for inspection, emptying, and cleaning.

The coin verifier is an industry standard 3.5” electronic device programmed to recognize up to 16 types of coins from optional currencies. For each coin type recognized a unique code is sent to the CPU board.

Flowbird provides pre-programmed coin verifiers for all countries where the terminals are sold, but clients can also program the modules themselves if necessary. Contact Flowbird for further information about coin verifier programming.
