Title: S2000 Coin comparitor problems.
Post by: dutonP 1955 on May 26, 2023, 10:54:08 AM
Hi erbes how are you? I was wondering if a coin comparator is in a igts2000 is shut off when the slotmachine is shut off
every night will that make my coin comparator not except coin? and if so should I reduce sensitivity or plus it? because I have tried to shut down my machine and unplug the coin comparator to see if that would reset it and it didn't do a thing and also tried removing the nickel and replaced it and that didn't work either. so should I try the above that I asked when I was at the top of my sentence when I asked about reducing or plussing the sensitivity for excepting the nickel.  Thanks dutonp1955.

You would reduce for lower sensitivity and more wider acceptance.

Hi Jay I turned the sensitivity all the way to the
Left to the minus and its still not excepting coins what do I do next? Do I take it out of my  slotmachine and send it to you and you fix it from there?

You would not send it to me. I am up in Canada.
Post what city/Town you’re in and there might be a member close.

Do you see the insert coin light on / blinking ? If not the problem is likely not with the coin comparator.

I'm just wondering if your coin-in optics has a nickel or quarter coin encoder?
Because if you're using nickels and there's a quarter encoder, the nickel may not register as it will miss one or two of the coin-in ABC optics.

This "encoder" is  basically a black plastic coin guide, that's sandwiched in between a pair or optic circuit boards underneath the coin comparitor unit.
It guides coins to fall between the optic eyes to send a credit signal to the MPU.

My question is, did YOU SEE this machine work with nickels before?
Also, where do the nickels fall to? Straight down into the coin tray, into the coin hopper, or down into the drop hole that's supposed to be under the machine on the stand?

Hi I found the black encoder piece your talking about and does it need to be removed from the coin optic board and my slotmachine was converted back to excepting coins by me and I saw it doing fine until the next morning when I turned my slotmachine back on and then it stopped excepting coins. when it was excepting coins at the time I had no coin hopper and had to use a little priority mail freight box to catch the nickels. when it was excepting coins the coins went down into that box but when it stopped excepting coins they went down to the coin tray. and I was wondering if since I managed to disable coinles mode is there a way to disable hand pay so the machine will pay in coin only keeping bill validator acceptor an option and also disable the ticket printer. thanks dutonp1955.

You WILL need a coin hopper to "pay in coin only" or you will get an machine error.

I just bought a coin hopper a week ago and I got it on Saturday so I'm all set in that way so that's a good thing am I ready for disabling the hand pay part of it?

Put one nickel in the coin shelf in between two nibs in the coin hopper at about 12 o'clock....next to it, place a quarter.
Take a photo of the two different coins sitting on the coin shelf in the hopper.
I want to see if the coin hopper shelf wheel is sized for a nickel or a quarter.

Does a quarter fit and slide thru your slot hole on the deck?
Place a sample quarter in the coin comparitor holder.
Does a quarter go all the way thru the slot hole, coin comparitor, coin-in optics to the coin tray?
If so, then your coin-in optics encoder is made for quarters...not nickels.

Nickels being as small as they are, will miss one of the optic eyes an annoyingly amount of times.
Once we figure out what you have, then we can try to re-program your machine the way you want it.

If a quarter is put into a 5cent coin comparator would it mess the coin comparator up to badly? and forgot to let you know that my coin hopper is a nickle hopper because I ordered it from worldwide gaming if they sound familiar to you? And on Ebay I ordered a 5cent coin comparator and the description said it was a small coin 5cent coin comparator  but do you think they misrepresented it?
Title: Re: S2000 Coin comparitor problems.
Post by: Stayouttadabunker on June 13, 2023, 09:46:21 PM
I believe they (WWGaming) would have sent you the correct sized hopper.
You should be okay there.
The coin comparitor doesn't really matter because it depends on what sample coin is installed.
The sample coin needs to be the same as the coins you're trying to use.

The black plastic encoder guide sandwiched between the coin-in optics underneath the coin comparitor needs to be the correct one for coin to register as credits to the MPU.
The one you need for nickels has to have a guide wall to direct the nickel towards the optical eyes.
If you have a quarter or .50 cent encoder guide in there, using nickels misses the optical eyes and doesn't always register nickels as a credit.
Take a look at these photos I took for you below and you'll see what I mean.
You can see even the quarter almost misses the three holes in the black plastic for the optical eyes.

Post by: jay on June 13, 2023, 09:47:40 PM
Let’s start at the beginning.

On the outside of your machine you have a coin head. It’s the metal bit that you put the coin in. They come in different sizes. One designed for 5c won’t allow a quarter to be dropped in. One for a dime would not let a nickle or quarter to be put in.  Assuming you had one big enough for a dollar it won’t really matter unless you have someone trying to Force dollars into a nickle machine. More a commercial concern than you have at home. This is just a chunk of metal to help guide a coin.

Once the coin is in the machine it hits the coin comparator is either a CC16 or CC33
The 16 is for the small coins (penny,nickle,dime, quarter) and 33 for large format (dollars and larger)
The letter after the cc-16-d (example) specifies the voltage the one you had in your machine and your new one should have the same letter. Putting a coin of the wrong type in simply means rejection and you won’t hurt anything.

Below the coin comparitor is the coin optics there are 3 sensors in there called A B C optics. As the coin passes these optics they need to be triggered in order. This prevents cheats such as someone putting a string on a coin and pulling it back up.  The optic consists of two plates held together by screws and spacers. The spacers and screws need to be set close enough that the coin passes across the optics. If it’s spaced wide then a coin like a dime or nickle might miss one or more of the optics.

So while you might have gotten a new comparitor and hopper it could be that the optics are not spaced right for the size of coin you want to use. Alternatively the letter on your new comparitor is wrong.

So the first thing to do if the letter is not right put your old comparitor back and put in a sample nickle.

Next look at the optics below the comparitor.

Post by: dutonP 1955 on June 13, 2023, 10:14:02 PM
so do you think the cc16  on my comparator could be wrong and should I try a quarter and see if it accepts? and if it does is there a way to correct the spacers so it accepts nickles?
Title: Re: S2000 Coin comparitor problems.
Post by: jay on June 14, 2023, 04:50:36 AM
Yes you can try that.  That would indicate your spacers ste wrong.

Also look at the cc16 and see what letter comes after it.
We want to ensure its compatibility.
Just compare your old cc16 with your new one.

Title: Re: S2000 Coin comparitor problems.
Post by: dutonP 1955 on June 14, 2023, 11:32:58 PM
if I correct the spacers is there a lot that goes into that or is it pretty explanatory?
Title: Re: S2000 Coin comparitor problems.
Post by: jay on June 15, 2023, 04:58:31 AM
Did you verify if the original cc16 has the same letter after it as the new one ?
- don’t worry about the spacers until you answer that question.

Secondly about 3 or 4 posts back Stayouttadabunker sent pictures of the coin optic opened and where to put the screws and spacers.
Title: Re: S2000 Coin comparitor problems.
Post by: dutonP 1955 on June 15, 2023, 10:32:34 PM
If you don't mind my asking were is the spacers and how do you adjust them to make the coin comparator except nickels?
Title: Re: S2000 Coin comparitor problems.
Post by: jay on June 16, 2023, 12:31:45 PM
Once again the CoinComparitor and Optics are two different systems in your machine.
At this point we ONLY know your slot is NOT accepting coins.

If it rejects the coin it could be because the coin comparitor says it doesn't match
OR
It could be because the optcs are not detecting the coin passing

Before you start tearing apart your optics changing spacers etc.
I will ask you again. What letter is on your coin comparitor and what letter is your old coin comparitor

One speculation is that the new coin comparitor might NOT be right for your machine.

The CC-16 comes in DC voltages, AC voltages, Inhibit, No-Inhibit, 13v, 24v 40v and all sorts of other combinations.
If you have the wrong comparitor in your machine it won't accept anything. I  put a short list of coin comparitors at the bottom of this post just to show you how many options there are.

The first thing I would try is put your original coin comparitor back in your machine and see if it accepts quarters like it did.
Then I would change the sample coin from a quarter to a nickle and see if that works. 
You might not need to touch your optics at all.

If the quarters work but not nickles then we can look at your optics.

Hi Jay I want to let you know that the coin comparator I bought was the new one I was talking about and that was the very first one I bought for my slotmachine it never came with one and I put the first new coin comparator I told you about in there that slotmachine came to me coinles and I am trying to convert it back to being coin operated I have a idea if it works anyway since my bally1993 s5500 doesn't work but just lights up I could try to put that coin comparator in my igt since they are both cc16 13vlt and if I'm correct those are both DC.but just to be sure I'll check the other 2 letters on those tomorrow morning and let you know thanks.

Hi Jay  I looked at the coin comparator in my dad's slotmachine and it is a cc16 d 150 and the one in my igts2000 is a cc16 E what ever that means but anyway just thought I'd let you know the letter on the end of the numbers on both coin comparators.

I was away for the weekend. Just got home.

Per my first post I do not have a s2000 so I can’t check my machine. I will need other members to jump in here. With that said I posted a table of coin comparitors. The E model appears to be for use with a Bally and not IGT. Once again some one else with a S2000 will need to validate which one is in their machine.

dutonP,
Maybe you just have a broken ground wire on the coin acceptor connector?...good chance it would be the black one.
It would be good to check it for continuity.
People tend to yank on the wires, instead of grasping the connector housing because that white tab that holds the connector to the CC is so tough to pull back with your fingertip.

Can you show us a good picture of your harness connectors that plugs into the coin-in optics board, and the coin comparitor?
The LED on your coin comparitor should be ON even when the door is opened, and the machine is powered ON.
It's different than an S+...on an S+ machine, that LED lite on the coin comparitor doesn't come on until the door is closed.

yea because the green is on to my cc16 E coin comparator it just isn't excepting nickels. if a slotmachine was coinles that a person bought could there be coin optics put in it and there done or would they have to key chip the coin optics into it? I'm wondering if that's were I went wrong if that's why its rejecting nickels I'm wondering?

Coinless Mode (Option: [7.2.5]
Use the Coinless option to enable or disable coinless mode.
When the machine is in coinless mode, the hopper and coin acceptor are disabled.

Use the following steps to enable or disable coinless mode:
1. Navigate through the list of values using the CHANGE and
CASH/CREDIT switches.
2. Press the PLAY MAX CREDITS switch to exit the screen and save
the changes, or press the SPIN REELS switch to reset the value to
the previous setting.

Without any credits on your machine, Use Keychip31 to get into the options settings to make changes.

100% agree except if you don’t already have key and clear chips get a key45 it is compatible with everything the 31 is and more. It is a big miss understanding in this hobby that they key and clear chips are board dependent they are not on the s2000 they are dependent on the sgchips but they are also backwards compatible with older software also. A key 45 should work for everything pre rboard. I think you said your games was a butterfly sevens if its the 4 reel version that may be an rboard game i can’t remember.

S2000 13VDC comparitor will not work in Bally.  Bally comparitor will not work in S2000.  IGT S2000 uses 13VDC comparitor with GREEN coil wires. Bally uses comparitor with GRAY coil wires. If the capacitor is weak in the comparitor board , the comparitor will reject coins. Comparitor can be repaired.

Not for sale.
Contact member RB for chips....if not, there are other vendors on the NLG homepage or ebay.

What color are the wires on top of your coin comparitors?
They shouldn't even have the same type of header connectors either.
Take a picture of yours and post it please.

Maybe the CC is just bad.  Maybe the rake in the CC is getting stuck or the censor in it is bad or dirty.  CC lens cleaning is part of reg maintenance.

If you follow the path for getting coins to the tray, you will see it happens ONLY at the CC.

The chute that sends coins to the tray is at the CC level and its rake rejects them by not engaging.

Nothing can send coins to the tray except from inside the CC.

The optics below the CC only counts coins that were approved already and not already rejected.  The optics is just a counter to give credits.  If the optics were bad, coins could make it to the hopper uncounted and would most likely give a coin count error.

The only thing that can divert a coin after is passes the CC is the coin divertor that sits below the optics.

The coin divertor does not send coins to the tray, it is used to send coins to the overflow storage below the slot machine.  Once the hopper is full, this will stay engaged until the hopper level goes down.  Again, this does not send coins to the tray.

If coins are falling to the tray, the CC IS the reason.

What could be the issue?  Considering you say it worked then didn't etc., my gut thinks it needs a good cleaning.
