ANTI-PULLBACK SYSTEM
Certain Changers may be repeatedly exposed to vandals attempting to cheat the machine by inserting a bill and then,
after collecting the change, attempting to retrieve that bill by pulling it back out of the stacker using an attached string.
The changer provides several mechanical and electrical systems to prevent anyone from being successful in these
attempts, but such activities could lead to jams in the transport and the attendant service calls.
As an added deterrent the changer allows you to set up a special temporary OUT OF SERVICE condition if the
computer detects that the transport motor has moved during a time when it was turned off.
If this feature is enabled, the computer monitors the encoder signal of the transport motor during periods when the
motor should not be turning. The action of pulling a previously accepted bill from the machine will invariably cause
the motor to be turned. Even a very slight movement will be detected, and when it does the Control Computer takes
the following action:
The motor is instantly turned ON in the reverse direction. This will assist in keeping the transport free of jams. The
Display will “freeze” and the motor will continue to run in reverse for about 3 seconds. At this time the changer will
go OUT OF SERVICE with the display showing “PLBK dDhh=mm AGO”, where dD = the number of days, hh = the
number of hours, and mm = the number of minutes that have passed since the changer went OUT OF SERVICE for
this reason. This time will continue to increment and will be displayed even after the temporary shutdown condition
expires and the changer goes back into normal service – it can only be cleared by pressing the FUNCTION button.
(When you clear this timer, the display will briefly show “PLBK TIMER CLR’D”.)

CAUTION!
When this feature is enabled, do not attempt to turn the transport motor drive gear manually with the
transported connected and the Power ON. As described above, the motor will start instantly when
motor movement is detected.
