GENERAL INFORMATION
General information about the hopper currenza h
2
The electromechanic hopper currenza h
2
is a coin payout system for
machines. Depending on the model and the coin type it can collect 2,000 and
more coins, in order to be able to pay out these coins as change on
command of the machine control system. Due to its high capacity the
hopper is used in machines, that have to pay out certain coins as change
frequently, such as money changers, vending and amusement machines.
The hopper models h
2
L and h
2
X are projected and cannot be
delivered yet.
The hopper is fitted with a machine interface, that can be configured for
parallel or serial ccTalk operation according to requirements. In the case of
the parallel interface the hopper communicates with the machine control
system using signal lines, whereas the ccTalk interface allows the hopper
to use the serial ccTalk data transfer protocol to communicate with the
control system as slave. The interface is configured according to customer
requirements on delivery.
The reliable and low-maintenance payout mechanism in the form of a
rotating disc driven by a motor is designed extra ruggedly, so that it
withstands innumerous coin payouts permanently.
If the hopper is to be filled automatically, it can interact with a coin validation
system without any problems (e.g. NRI coin validators G-13.mft, G-40 or
NRI coin changers c
2
, E-66/A-66, G-46).

Models
Most notably the hopper models differ in the coin capacity. All models can
be equipped with or without full or empty recognition and be fixed onto two
different mounting brackets depending on the machine dimensions.
Coin capacity (S/M/L/X)
The hopper capacity is defined by shape and depth of the bowl and the front
bowl cover.
The four hopper sizes S, M, L, and X are made up of two different sized bowls
and two appropriate front covers for each bowl. The width and the height of
the hopper is always the same (cp. Chap. 8 "Technical data"). The hopper
size is embossed on the front cover (see Fig. 1a).

Full and empty recognition
All hopper models are available with empty or full recognition or with empty
and full recognition.
The recognition is put into effect using electric contacts in the hopper bowl
(not available for retrofitting), which are closed by the coins from a certain
filling level on or up to a certain filling level (cp. Chap. 4 "Function").

This chapter describes
the main parts the hopper consists of, and
all parts which you need to operate and start up the hopper.
Overview of the device
14
National Rejectors, Inc. GmbH, Buxtehude
DESIGN
Fig. 2b: Payout disc
Bowl and front bowl cover
The bowl [2a/10] and bowl cover [2a/3] build the hopper funnel, which
collects the coins, in order to feed the rotating disc (Fig. 2b), that pays out
the coins.
Rotor, payout disc, and safety flap
The payout disc (Fig. 2b) driven by a rotor directs the
coins from the bowl into the coin outlet [2a/9] by means
of metal pins inserted in the disc.
In order to protect the rotating parts against access
during operation and transport the coins optimally, the
bowl is provided with a safety flap [2a/1].
Coin passage
The coin passage [2a/8] lets the coins pass paid out by an additional hopper
and thus serves as second coin outlet (see section "Space-saving dual
hopper assembly (coin passage)" in Chap. 4 "Function").
Mounting bracket
The mounting bracket [2a/6] (Fig. 2c) is used to
install the hopper in the machine (see Chap. 5 "Start-
up").
Interfaces
For detailed information on the parallel or serial ccTalk machine
interface [2a/12] and on the connector for the empty and full
recognition [2a/16] please refer to Chap. 9 "Technical data" (cp. also section
"Hopper control" in Chap. 4 "Function").
Fig. 2c: Mounting brackets
15
National Rejectors, Inc. GmbH, Buxtehude
DESIGN
Jumpers
Using the jumpers [2a/14] on the rear of the hopper (accessible by service
cover) you can bridge certain pins of the machine interface so that the
hopper works no longer in the parallel but in the ccTalk mode or vice versa
(see section "Configuring operating mode (parallel/ccTalk)“ in Chap. 6
"Operation").
Pilot lights
The three pilot lights [2a/7] on the rear of the hopper indicate the operating
state or a malfunction):
Green LED Hopper is receiving control signal and activates
motor and payout disc (see Fig. 2c)
Yellow LED Hopper is paying out coin and transmits coin signal
to control system
Red LED Error (number of signals indicates error type, see
section "Troubleshooting" in Chap. 7 "Maintenance
and service")
Switching block
Using the switching block [2a/15] on the rear of the hopper (accessible by
service cover) you can change the operating mode (ccTalk/parallel) and the
ccTalk hopper address, if you want to provide the machine with several
hoppers (see sections "Configuring operating mode (parallel/ccTalk)" and
"Selecting ccTalk hopper address" in Chap. 6 "Operation").

FUNCTION
4 Function
This chapter describes the functional principle of the hopper:
Coin reception and payout
Hopper control
Anti-jam function
Protection against cable break (parallel interface only)
Space-saving dual hopper assembly (coin passage)
Empty and full recognition (optional)
Coin reception and pay out
The coins of a particular type are either filled in the hopper bowl before
starting up the hopper or continuously sorted into the bowl by an upstream
coin validation system. The funnel form of the bowl and the safety flap direct
the coins to the rotating payout disc uniformly. The disc conveys the coins
from the bowl via the coin outlet to the return area by means of metal pins
inserted in the disc.
Hopper control
Depending on the interface configuration the hopper is controlled either
using signals transmitted via the lines of the parallel interface or using a
serial data transfer protocol (cp. also section "Configuring operating mode
(parallel/ccTalk") in Chap. 6 "Operation").
Control, coin, and error signal (parallel interface only)
The machine control system communicates with the hopper using three
signal lines: control line, coin line, and error line (see section "Machine
interface" in Chap. 8 "Technical data").
17
National Rejectors, Inc. GmbH, Buxtehude
FUNCTION
Control signal to hopper
If the hopper is in standby mode (after start-up), the machine may activate
the hopper motor at any time by transmitting a signal via the control line
(voltage drop). The motor turns the payout disc as long as the signal is
present. The hopper thus pays out coins until the voltage is increased again.
Fig. 3a: Control signal to hopper
Coin signal to control system
The hopper transmits a short signal (30 ms) to the control system via the
coin line (voltage drop), whenever the sensor located in front of the hopper's
coin outlet is covered by a coin.
Fig. 3b: Coin signal(s) to control system during control signal to hopper
Error signal to control system
The hopper detects malfunctions such as coin jams or defective plug
connections/cables, and informs the control system by transmitting a
certain number of short signals via the error line (voltage drop, 1:1 pulse
pause ratio, 10 ms; 100 ms between pulse intervals of 1–8 pulses).

FUNCTION
The red pilot light flashes with every error signal, so that the error is easy to
locate and correct (see sections "Pilot lights" in Chap. 3 "Design" and
"Troubleshooting" in Chap. 7 "Maintenance and service").
ccTalk data transfer protocol (ccTalk interface only)
The control system communicates with the hopper using the serial ccTalk
protocol. For more details about the ccTalk protocol please refer to section
"Machine interface" in Chap. 8 "Technical data" and the ccTalk specification
at www.ccTalk.org.
Anti-jam function
The hopper detects, if the coins can no longer be transported due to a jam.
In this case it changes the rotational direction of the motor for 1.5 sec., so
that the coins are splitted up on the transport disc and can be paid out again
when rechanging the rotational direction.
If the coin accumulation and pressure onto the payout disc is so high, that
the motor can no longer turn the disc, the rotational direction is changed for
0.5 sec. and, if necessary, for further full seconds until the jam has been
removed.
Protection against cable break (parallel interface only)
If an end of the coin line of the connecting cable between hopper and control
system is open (e.g. cable break or improper plug connections), the hopper
no longer pays out coins and transmits an error signal to the control system
(see section "Hopper control system" in this chapter and section
"Troubleshooting" in Chap. 7 "Maintenace and service").
In the control system the coin line must be pulled up to 5V using a
pull-up resistor (e.g. 10k
Ω).
19
National Rejectors, Inc. GmbH, Buxtehude
FUNCTION
Space-saving dual hopper assembly (coin passage)
Thanks to the coin passage between the hopper's rear cover and coin
payout unit it is possible to install two hoppers in the machine side by side
and as close as possible.
If the hoppers are mounted accordingly, the coins paid out by the rear hopper
can be directed into the return area of the machine through the coin passage
of the front hopper. In this case the front hopper uses the coin passage as
second coin outlet (see section "Aligning two hoppers with coin passage" in
Chap. 5 "Start-up").
Empty and full recognition (option)
All hopper models can be equipped with an empty or with an empty and full
recognition.
Empty recognition
The hopper uses the empty recognition to signal the control system that the
hopper must be refilled in order to be able to pay out further coins.
The filling quantity is monitored by electric contacts
in the hopper bowl or bowl cover (cannot be
retrofitted): If the hopper is full, the electric circuit
is closed by the coins abutted on the contacts
(Fig. 4). If the filling level declines below one of the
contacts, the circuit is interrupted.
The empty recognition is analyzed by the hopper
and transmitted to the control system (see section
"Interfaces" in Chap. 8 "Technical data" or ccTalk
specification at www.ccTalk.org).
As the parallel machine interface has only
one empty/full recognition line, but the hopper may be equipped with
both – empty and full recognition – in this case the contacts of at least
one recognition must be connected to the control system, so that the
control system is able to analyze the empty/full message (see section
"Connecting hopper" in Chap. 5 "Start-up"):
internal empty recognition, external full recognition
external empty recognition, internal full recognition
external empty recognition, external full recognition
Fig. 4: Coins abutted on empty

20
National Rejectors, Inc. GmbH, Buxtehude
FUNCTION
Full recognition
The hopper uses the full recognition to signal the control system that no
more coins can be fed into the hopper, so that it does not overflow.
The filling quantity is also monitored by electric contacts in the hopper bowl
or or bowl cover (connot be retrofitted): If the filling level is below the contacts,
no current flows. If it is as high as the contacts, the electric circuit is closed
by the coins abutted on the contacts.
The full recognition is analyzed by the hopper and transmitted to the control
system (see section "Interfaces" in Chap. 8 "Technical data" or ccTalk
specification at www.ccTalk.org).
As the parallel machine interface has only one full/empty recognition
line, but the hopper may be equipped with both – full and empty
recognition – in this case the contacts of at least one recognition
must be connected to the control system, so that the control
system is able to analyze the full/empty message (see section
"Connecting hopper" in Chap. 5 "Start-up"):
