I. INTRODUCTION
The C2000 Controller makes operating a Bill Changer simple. The Controller monitors the inputs from the
various components and controls the Validator, Stacker and Hopper(s). It also monitors the power supply for
fluctuations in current and voltage.
When the customer inserts a bill, change or tokens are dispensed according to a payout scheme selected by
the operator. There are many payout schemes embedded in the program that are easily accessed by changing
switch settings.Also, in the event of short power failures, the Controller will retain in memory any uncompleted
payouts.Another feature is an LED that indicates the status of the changer, displaying error codes if necessary.
Options
The C2000 Controller features several options.
♦Tokenotes® can be accepted to vend token coins when a token payout scheme is
selected. (Refer to the Tokenote® Training Guide.)
♦$1bills can be separated from $5, $10 and $20 bills when a dual stacker is installed.
(Refer to the Dual Stacker Manual.)
♦The standard C2000 Controller accesses different preprogrammed payouts using
DIP switches.

II. OPERATION
On the face of the C2000 Controller there is a white COMPUTER RESET button, a green LED, and a bank
of 12 Vend Switches. On one side is the Card Edge Connector, which is where the main wiring harness of the
changer connects. The Card Edge Connector is polarized to avoid reversing connections. On the inside of the
Controller is another bank of 8 DIP switches; these are the Configuration Switches.
Vend Switches
The 12 DIP switches on the face of the Controller select the different payout schemes available when set to
different positions. APPENDIX A depicts a list of the most common payout schemes and indicates how to
arrange the switches for each. There is no need to change these switch settings as they are set to the payout
arranged when the order was placed with Hamilton. However, if you are not satisfied with the current payout
setting, you can choose from one of the standard switch settings inAPPENDIX A, or call Hamilton for further
assistance. YOU MUST HAVE THE CONTROLLER MODEL & SERIAL NUMBER READY WHEN
CALLING.
The computer reset button must be pressed after changing the
switch settings.
Configuration Switches
Switch 2 (SW2) refers to the bank of 8 DIP switches on the logic board. The logic board is the smaller
piggybacked board on the underside of the controller. These switches tell the Controller which type of hoppers
and coin mech are connected.Also, one of the switches configures the Controller to integrate with the Dual
Stacker / HVX Validator combination. THESE SWITCHESARE SETAT THE FACTORYAND SHOULD
NOT BE CHANGED, unless the models of equipment you are using in the machine change. Refer toAPPEN-
DIX B for details of settings.
LED
The green LED located on the face of the controller near the Computer Reset button indicates the status of the
bill changer. When the LED is lit constantly, it is indicating that everything is normal and the Controller is
running. When a fault is detected, the Controller automatically shuts the machine down. The green LED will
begin a sequence of flashes, which indicates the appropriate error code. To read an error code, watch the
flashing LED. Note that there is a series of flashes, a short pause, another series of flashes, then a long pause.
After the long pause, count the number of flashes seen, wait while the LED pauses briefly, then count the next
series of flashes. The sequence will continue until the Computer Reset Button is pressed.
Watch the flashing sequence several times to ensure the message is
interpreted properly.

Resetting
The white COMPUTER RESET button is located on the face of the Controller. After an error has occurred,
reset the computer by depressing the COMPUTER RESET button once. The LED will go out while the
Controller resets. Once the controller has reset, the LED will turn back on as a steady light.

III. ERROR CODES
As described earlier in the OPERATION section, when a fault has been detected, the LED will flash an error
code. An LED that remains off indicates no power or a major failure of the Controller. In the event that a
malfunction occurs, the following pages provide assistance for diagnosis.
*The following pages provide detailed definitions of error codes.
Always note the error code before attempting any service or before
contacting HAMILTON.

ERROR CODES
Document #101-0009 8 3/09/05
ERROR CODE DEFINITIONS
COIN DROP STUCK
Since the coin count switch in the hopper is NORMALLY CLOSED, a coin passing under the count switch
OPENS the circuit. The Controller allows only a short time for a coin to pass under and open the switch and
for a coin to drop. If the switch remains open for too long, the Controller will shut down the changer because
it is unable to count dispensed coins accurately. This message could mean that the count switch is stuck, the
count switch is broken, or there is a broken connection elsewhere in the circuit.
HOPPER JAMMED
If this message is displayed, the Controller has not detected any count signals from the hopper or the counting
circuit has remained closed. The Controller allows a specified amount of time to recognize a payout. If the
Controller has not detected a payout, it “times-out”. This message could mean that the count switch is out of
adjustment or broken. It could also mean that the hopper is jammed or unable to “pick-up” coins.
The above two (2) errors cannot be detected until the Controller
turns on the Hopper(s), and will not be detected on powerup or in
standby mode.
INPUT STUCK
An INPUT refers to a signal coming from the validator or coin mech which notifies the controller that money
(coins or bills) has been inserted into the change machine. The INPUT STUCK message refers to each input
type as being continuous, where a normal input is of only brief duration. This message points to a malfunction
in the validator or coin mech.
UNEXPECTED HOPPER PAYOUT
This message will appear if the Controller has detected a coin payout signal when the hopper has not been
“authorized” to run. The Controller has detected an unexpected open and close of the count circuit.
STACKER BUSY TIMEOUT
The bill stacker is part of a NORMALLYCLOSED circuit. When the circuit is opened, the Controller detects
that the stacker is in mid-cycle. The Controller acknowledges this by keeping the validator disabled until the
cycle is complete. A normal stacker cycle lasts only a couple of seconds. If this cycle lasts too long (for
example, if the stacker was jammed), the computer shuts down. A broken connection in the stacker busy
circuit would also cause a shutdown.
HOPPER EMPTY
The hopper has sensor strips that detect the level of coins. When the coin level falls below the strips, the circuit
is open and the hopper is considered empty. (This will occur even if there are some coins left in the hopper.)
Document #101-0009 9 3/09/05
INVALID PAYOUT SWITCH SETTING
As explained in the Operation section, the bank of 12 Vend switches located on the face of the controller are
used to select payout options. The switch positions should not need to be changed as they are preset. When
the switches are set to a non-sense pattern, one that does not match an existing payout scheme, an INVALID
PAYOUT SWITCH SETTING error will result.
TIMEOUT FOR VALIDATOR TO ADVANCE BILL
This occurs only when the controller is configured to operate a dual stacker. The Controller signals the valida-
tor that the dual stacker is in its down position. If the validator does not advance the bill into the stacker within
a certain amount of time, this time-out error will occur. This error could be caused from improper switch
settings. If a dual stacker is being used, switch 4 on the HVX Validator must be turned ON and switch 2 on the
underside of the C2000 Controller (the configuration switches) must be turned ON. A malfunction in the
validator could also cause this time-out error.
VALIDATOR SHUT DOWN ERROR
If the validator shuts down the Controller, this error will flash. For example, if a bill gets hung up on the rear
sensor causing the bill to be stolen, the validator will be inhibited and will shut down the C2000 Controller. If
this error flashes, check the validator display for an error message. (Refer to the Validator Manual for help.)
UNSTABLE 120 VAC (POWER LOSS)
If the Controller detects an extreme voltage drop during payout, it will normally finish the correct payout. The
Controller can recover and finish vending through several voltage drops during a payout. However, if there are
too many voltage drops during one payout, the microprocessor considers the power source unusable and
shuts the changer down. If this condition occurs repeatedly, consult an electrician or the Power Company.
