SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostic Check
The self-diagnostic check features of the BC-3500 are centered around the 16-character status display. The
message displayed may be on all the time (STEADY STATUS MESSAGE), or it may blink on and off (FLASHING
FAULT MESSAGE
).
Fault Message Check
1. Remove the right hopper from the machine. Block the right coin detector on the dispenser with an opaque
object – a coin, for example. The machine will go out of service. The status display will flash the message
“
CK R COIN DETCTR” and the TEMPORARILY OUT OF SERVICE light on the top door will light.
2. Restore the machine to service by removing the object that is blocking the detector and pressing the
FUNCTION button.
3. The CCC will remove the fault message and the machine will return to service.
4. Replace the hopper.
For detailed explanations of the various fault messages, refer to Section 4: Troubleshooting.
Status Messages
When a message is on the status display and it is not flashing, either a fault or malfunction occurred that was not serious
enough to cause a shutdown or the message is a guide to solving bill acceptance problems.
NON-SHUTDOWN FAULTS
If a malfunction is detected with the coin switches, TEST switches, or the BILL RETURN switch, a message will be
displayed but the machine will not go out of service.
BILL ACCEPTANCE MESSAGES
A bill may be rejected for a number of reasons. The status display will indicate the reason why a bill failed to be
accepted. A number of cell sequence rejects and bill validation rejects exist. These messages will be displayed for
approximately thirty seconds before they are erased by the walking dash. For more information on the reject
messages, refer to Section 4: Troubleshooting.
TRANSPORT SELF-CLEAR CHECK
If a bill becomes jammed in the transport, the BC-3500 automatically tries to clear it out. To check out this
