BC-3500 Series - Rowe International

BC-3500 Bill and Coin Changer
1. Insert a bill into the transport upside down. The bill will be rejected and the status display should show
“REJECT-BILL (A)”.
2. Hold the bill in the transport. Do not uncover the VI cell. Wait five seconds for the transport to start to cycle
reverse-forward-reverse-forward-reverse. The transport will do this three times if the VI cell is kept
covered. During the self-clear operation, the status display will show the message “PURGING ACCEP-
TOR”.
3. The motor will stop and the status message will change to “CK TRANSPORT VI”. (If the VI cell is uncovered
any time during the self-clear cycle, the machine will automatically go back into operation.
4. Restore the machine to service by removing the bill.
ACCEPTANCE CHECK
To aid in checking acceptance, set the BILL TEST mode to ON. This will allow checking out the validation portion
of the system without paying out coins.
NOTE:
The bill acceptor may reject bills if a bright light source shines into the transport.
Close the top door of the changer to prevent this problem.
1. Make certain that the bill is programmed to be accepted.
2. Insert a dollar bill upside down. The bill should reject and the display should show “REJECT-BILL (A)”.
3. Insert the dollar bill correct side up, but backwards. The bill should reject a message “REJECT-BILL (B)”.
(Be sure BILL B CHECK is ON.)
Now insert the dollar correctly. It should accept and the stacker should operate.
Also, as the bill moves through the bill acceptor, check to ensure that the following messages are shown on the
status display:
1. “VALIDATING” will appear as the bill is inserted and while the transport is running.
2. “GOOD $1” will appear when the bill is validated and stacked.
3. If bills in good condition are rejected frequently, note the reject message on the status display and refer to
Section 4 for troubleshooting information.
4. If the machine is set up to accept other bills, the previous checks should also be performed with all other
denominations.
When the other denominations are accepted, the display will show “GOOD $XX”, where XX represents the
denomination.
