The Coin Handler Vault Door Solenoid is a +12 VDC Solenoid .
When activated, +24 VDC is momentararily applied to the Solenoid, then +12 VDC is “pulsed” to retain
the plunger in a retracted position without overheating.
If checking voltages at the Solenoid, when activated, the voltmeter will quickly display 14 ~ 24 VDC, then
drop to approximately +3 VDC ~ +5 VDC (indicates normal functionality).
If the Coin Handler Vault Door Solenoid is inoperable, the combination lock can be used to raise the
plunger, allowing the door to be opened.
Drilling the Coin Handler vault door should not be necessary unless the Solenoid and Combination Lock
are both inoperable.
To test a Solenoid:
1) Insure the Coin Handler Vault Door is open and the Combination Lock is in the locked position.
2) Remove the Solenoid cover from the door.
3) Ensure both volt meter leads are securely connected to (both), metal retainers inside the the
Solenoid connector.
Note: a chassis ground cannot be used to perform this voltage test)
4) Activate the Solenoid.
When activated, the voltmeter should quickly display 14 ~ 24 VDC, then drop to
approximately +3 VDC ~ +5 VDC (indicates normal functionality).
