    Default Coinless yamasa umi I ban error E-3 help

    Hey I recently got a coinless pachislo that keeps giving the E-3 refill hopper error whenever it hits on a payout
    But it doesn’t have a hopper since it’s coinless. So I’m kinda confused as to what to do, maybe the coinless converter is hooked up wrong? Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

    if its doing it during payout. it means that the coinless unit isn't sending a signal back to the machine, when it gets a request to turn the hopper motor (its a vitual hopper). first thing would be check the connections where the hopper would be. Most plug in to the psu box on the bottom LH of the machine

    It was previously a token machine and the coinless converter was installed to make it legal and not a gambling device. The converter has three plugs and I’m not sure where they’re supposed to be.

    Long story short I got it in japan and brought it over to the states, and I’m having trouble getting the converter to work.

    Not sure. Got any instructions?
    You would need to by pass the token acceptor to give yourself credit.to play. Something to detect when a pay out is due. Then something to confirm payout back to the machine

    Yeah it has three connectors one for the hopper, one for the coin mech, and one more that I’m not sure where it goes. It didn’t come with instructions it just said to connect then and it should work. Anyone know what the third connector might be for? I read that it might be for the max bet button or something like that? Right now I have it connected to the hopper plug and to two plugs on either side of the coin mech. Is it normally just one connection on the coin mech for a coinless converter?

    Normally, the coinless unit has 4 connectors, but makes connections at 3 different places. The coin mechanism, the max bet and the hopper.

    You unplug the coin mechanism from the circuit board and hopper from the power supply and plug in the corresponding connectors from your coinless unit. That leaves you 2 connectors left for the max bet button. The max bet connector is unplugged from the circuit board and plugged into a connection on the coinless unit and the remaining connector plugs into the circuit board where you unplugged the max bet connector.

    Okay so I managed to get it connected correctly after a lot of plug and play and it no longer gives that error. However now it’s not loading credits, does anyone know how normally you add credits to a coinless machine? Turns out I had to connect both the connectors in a weird way to bypass the coin mech but it doesn’t seem to connect to the max bet button.

    To add credits, hold down on the max bet button for a few seconds.
