IGT PE PLUS POKER Hopper coin optic (no power???)

[BALLIGATOR]

 Hi,  The poker works fine, it takes coin, the game palys welll... When I cash out, the hopper works but does register the coins out. BUT, the same hopper works perfectly in an S plus.


Any idea?


Thankssssssssssss

When I cash out, the hopper works but does register the coins out.

Did you mean to say that the hopper does NOT register the coins out?  Is that the case when you run the hopper test in the self-test menu as well?

On the self-test inputs screen (the first screen after you press the self test button), you should see the following:



You're interested in the status of "COIN OUT" (4th from the top left).  1 indicates that the optic is working and is not blocked (which would be the normal idle state).  0 indicates that the optic is blocked.  The optic state should change from 1 to 0 (and then back to 1) when a coin passes through the optics.  You can use a popsicle stick or a piece of cardboard to block the optics to ensure it changes correctly.

If it's not changing, AND the hopper works normally on a S+ machine, I'd suggest checking the hopper plug wiring in your PE+ machine for any broken or disconnected wires between the plug and the motherboard.
