Randy got my changers working before the weekend! The only problem is that it is supposed to rain everyday.
Actually, both of my Cycle Inhibit Adapter harnesses were broken. I just plugged in the new ones in and everything worked perfectly. The only thing I hate about the harness is the small terminal that does not fit the bill acceptor. The reason they do this is so you will put the harness in wrong and blow the bill acceptor (which I have done).
Randy told me to check out my Cycle Inhibit Adapter harnesses, which was the problem. It has a short in the wires that are not wrapped. I am just going to replace the harness. But it was really weird that the changer had the same error yesterday 3 times in a row. Then today it worked for 10-12 bills until I touched the harness; then I could make it turn on and off by touching the wires. Great feature!
I purchased an extra c2000 Hamilton controller. I have always wanted an extra controller but I also want an extra Mars bill acceptor. I was testing out the new controller and it had a weird problem. It seems to shut down if you put in 3-4 bills in less than 30 seconds and then it restarts after 5 minutes. It did this 3 times in a row and I will email Randy and see what the problem could be.
