Scope of delivery
• Hopper currenza h2
• Mounting bracket
Models
Most notably the hopper models differ in the
• coin capacity (S/M/L/X)
• processing of extreme coin dimensions
• supply voltage
• ccTalk product code
All models can be equipped with or without full or empty detection and
be fixed onto two different mounting brackets depending on the machine
dimensions.
The hopper capacity is defined by shape and depth of the bowl and the
front bowl cover.
The four hopper sizes S, M, L, and X are made up of two different sized
bowls and two appropriate front covers for each bowl. The width and the
height of the hopper is always the same (cp. section "Mounting dimensions"
in Chap. 8 "Technical data"). The hopper size is embossed on the front
cover (see Fig. 1).
Hopper Bowl Cover
h2 S small S (short)
h2 M small M (long)
h L

large L (short)
h2 X large X (long)
Depending on the coin you would like to collect and its dimensions, you
may need a hopper purpose-made for, e.g., particularly thick or thin coins
(cp. "Device data" in Chap. 8 "Technical data"):
• currenza h2 standard (Version 1.0)
• currenza h standard for thin and small coins (Version 1.1)
2
Supply voltage
Depending on the machine evironment you may have a 12V or 24V hopper
(up to model number h2/0) or 11–35V hopper.
All hopper models are available with empty or full detection or with empty
and full detection.
The detection is put into effect using electric contacts in the hopper bowl
(not available for retrofitting), which are closed by the coins from a certain
filling level on or up to a certain filling level (cp. Chap. 4 "Function").

2 Safety instructions
Before operating the device for the first time, please read these operating
instructions carefully at least once, and most importantly the safety
instructions. This is to ensure you have understood the contents of this
manual as well as how to operate the hopper.
Proper use
The NRI hopper currenza h2 with parallel/serial ccTalk interface is intended to
be used in machines with parallel or serial ccTalk interface and is supposed
to collect coins accepted by the machine/coin validation system or filled in
the hopper and to pay them out as change on command of the machine
control system. Only use the coin validator for this purpose. Under no
circumstances can the manufacturer be held liable for any damage or loss
resulting from improper use of the device.
The hopper has been constructed in compliance with the state of the art and
recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless this equipment can be a source
of danger. Therefore please observe the following safety regulations.
The hopper is not suited for outdoor use. For this it must be
protected using a housing/machine with an appropriate protection
class.
Select the correct voltage for the hopper (see label) and protect
the device against overheat demage caused by e.g. short-circuit
or overload by means of a 3A-fuse (according to IEC 127).
Never pull the connecting cable of the hopper from the machine
when a voltage is applied.
Pull out the machine’s mains plug before you install, clean or
remove the hopper.

The coin passage [3/8] lets the coins paid out by an additional hopper pass
and thus serves as second coin outlet (see section "Space-saving dual
hopper assembly (coin passage)" in Chap. 4 "Function").
Mounting bracket
The mounting bracket [3/6] (Fig. 5) is used to install
the hopper in the machine (see Chap. 5 "Start-up").
That way the hopper may easily be removed and
reinstalled.
Fig. 5: Mounting brackets
Interfaces
For detailed information on the parallel or serial ccTalk machine interface [3/12]
and on the connector for the empty and full detection [3/16] please refer
to Chap. 9 "Technical data" (cp. also section "Hopper control" in Chap. 4
"Function").
Jumpers
Using the jumpers [3/14] on the rear of the hopper (accessible by service
cover) you can bridge certain pins of the machine interface so that the
hopper works no longer in the parallel but in the ccTalk mode or vice versa
(from model number h2/1 on optional function, see section "Configuring
operating mode (parallel/ccTalk)" in Chap. 6 "Operation").
Status LEDs
The three status LEDs [3/7] on the rear of the hopper indicate the operating
state or a malfunction):
Green LED Hopper is receiving control signal and activates motor
and payout disc (see Fig. 4)
Yellow LED Hopper is paying out coin and transmits coin signal
to control system

4 Function
Payout control
An optical sensor in front of the hopper‘s coin outlet reliably detects each
coin paid out irrespective of its surface properties (plastic tokens, dark or
opaque coins). This tamper-proof sensor also prevents foreign objects from
interfering or blocking the function of the sensor.
Hopper control
Depending on the machine interface or rather interface configuration the
hopper is controlled either using signals transmitted via the lines of the
parallel interface or using a serial data transfer protocol (cp. also section
"Configuring operating mode (parallel/ccTalk") in Chap. 6 "Operation").
Usually, the machine interface may be switched from parallel to ccTalk
and vice versa using the switching and jumper block. However, from
model number h2/1 on this is an option, and the device can also be
delivered as pure ccTalk or parallel hopper.
Control signal modes, coin and error signals (parallel interface only)
The machine control system communicates with the hopper using three
signal lines: control line, coin line, and error line (see section "Machine
interface" in Chap. 8 "Technical data").
If the hopper is in standard standby mode (after start-up), the machine may
activate the hopper motor at any time by transmitting a signal via the control
line (voltage drop). The motor turns the payout disc as long as the signal
is present. The hopper thus pays out coins until the voltage is increased
again. To prevent the hopper from paying out too many coins the control
signal must end 10ms but not later than 50ms after the last coin signal from
the hopper has started (see Fig 6 and next section).
The hopper transmits a short signal (30ms) to the control system via the
coin line (voltage drop), whenever the sensor located in front of the hopper‘s
coin outlet is covered by a coin.
V
Fig. 6: Coin signal(s) to control system during permanent motor control signal to hopper
Hoppers with a model no. from h2/1 on may switch from this control
mode to the counted coin control pulses (see next section and section
"Configuring operating mode" in Chap. 6 "Operation").
To ensure the hopper processor has enough time to scan the control line
and debounce the pulses received, the control pulses and pauses must
not be shorter than 5ms (max. pulse rate = 100Hz). Due to the power-up
time-out, the first control pulse should not be transmitted earlier than 130ms
after the power line has been established.
In response to the control pulses from the machine, the hopper transmits 30ms
signals to the control system via the coin line (voltage drop), whenever the
sensor located in front of the hopper‘s coin outlet is covered by a coin.

Fig. 7: Coin signal(s) to control system after counted control pulse(s) to hopper
Hoppers with a model no. from h2/1 on may switch from this control
mode to the enable control mode (see previous section and section
"Configuring operating mode" in Chap. 6 "Operation").
Simple power control (ON-OFF) mode (only h2/1 and higher, option, not switchable)
Once the supply voltage line is established in this optional mode, the hopper
starts rotating the motor and paying out coins (condition: control line set to
0V). Coin payout is stopped as soon as the power line is removed.
For this mode the hopper is delivered with the 2nd DIL switch set to OFF
and must not be set to ON. Otherwise the hopper is not running.
Anti-jam function
The hopper detects, if the coins can no longer be transported due to a jam.
In this case it changes the rotational direction of the motor for 1.5s, so that
the coins are splitted up on the transport disc and can be paid out again
when rechanging the rotational direction.
If the coin accumulation and pressure onto the payout disc is so high, that
the motor can no longer turn the disc, the rotational direction is changed
for 0.5s and, if necessary, for further full seconds until the jam has been
removed.
Empty detection
The hopper uses the empty detection to signal the control system that the
hopper must be refilled in order to be able to pay out further coins.
The filling quantity is monitored by electric contacts
in the hopper bowl or bowl cover (cannot be
retrofitted): If the hopper is full, the electric circuit
is closed by the coins abutted on the contacts
(Fig. 8). If the filling level declines below one of
the contacts, the circuit is interrupted.
The empty detection is analysed by the hopper
and transmitted to the control system (see section
"Interfaces" in Chap. 8 "Technical data" or ccTalk
specification at www.ccTalk.org). Fig. 8: Coins abutted on empty
detection
Full detection
The hopper uses the full detection to signal the control system that no more
coins can be fed into the hopper, so that it does not overflow.
The filling quantity is also monitored by electric contacts in the hopper
bowl or or bowl cover (connot be retrofitted): If the filling level is below the
contacts, no current flows. If it is as high as the contacts, the electric circuit
is closed by the coins abutted on the contacts.
The full detection is analysed by the hopper and transmitted to the control
system (see section "Interfaces" in Chap. 8 "Technical data" or ccTalk
specification at www.ccTalk.org).
As the parallel machine interface has only one full/empty detection
line, but the hopper may be equipped with both – full and empty
detection – in this case the contacts of at least one detection must
be connected to the control system, so that the control system is able
to analyse the full/empty message (see section "Connecting hopper"
in Chap. 5 "Start-up"):
• internal full detection, external empty detection
• external full detection, internal empty detection
• external full detection, external empty detection

Connecting hopper
Depending on where the hopper(s) is/are to be installed in the machine, it
is advisable to connect the hopper(s) first:
1 Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
2 Connect the hopper to the control system using
the machine interface on the rear of the hopper
(Fig. 14) and connecting cable.
In order to protect the cable of the parallel
interface against break, in the control system
the coin line must be pulled up to 5V using a
pull-up resistor (e.g. 10kΩ).
