Thickness & Diameter Adjustment
For The
X-50 & X-70
X-Mark
Xeptors
Introduction
In order for the X-50 or X-70
Xeptor to maintain high performance and accommodate the wide range of
coin diameters and thicknesses in the market, it has been designed to
incorporate a means for field adjusting the coin chute width and
thickness to optimize performance for your particular coin.
In order to properly read the X-Mark
optical code or to properly measure the inductive signature of the
center of a coin, it is imperative that the coin be reasonably
centered in the coin chute so that optical code facets are oriented
correctly and repeatably for the optical code sensors and so that the
center of the coin passes repeatably over on the inductive sensors.
The X-50 and X-70 Xeptor have a field adjustable coin chute width
to accurately guide the coin through the acceptor.
Furthermore, to get a good
repeatable read of the optical code and the most discriminating
inductive signature measurement, it is imperative that the sensors on
each side of the coin chute be as close as possible to the coin. A
thin coin in a wide chute produces weaker signals with more variation.
The X-50 Xeptor has a built in adjustment to control coin chute
thickness.
Thickness Setup
Figure 1 of the X-50 Xeptor is
a side view showing a series of three holes and a sliding adjustment
with a detent that centers itself over one of the selected holes. The
dimensions referring to each of the three holes is the chute thickness
achieved at each position of the sliding adjustment. A good rule of
thumb would be to set the adjustment for about 0.010" more than the
thickest coin in the intended coin set.

Diameter Setup
The X-50 and X-70 Xeptors have
field adjustable sliding coin chute width guides with three primary
positions, two of which are shown in Figures 2 and 3. To move the coin
chute width guides, loosen the fastening nuts with a 1/4" nut driver,
slide them to the desired position, then tighten the nuts. Choose the
width for compatibility with the intended coin set as specified in the
tables below. Note that there are three scallop like indents for the
mounting studs to align with on each of the mounting tabs of the chute
width guides. Testing a sample coin in the unit prior to installation
is recommended to ensure proper sizing.
