The Collar Interruption Switch is used to detect coin that is not properly seated in the feed mechanism. The Collar Interruption Switch is a solid-state switch and is made by Honeywell (Honeywell part number 1XE1-3).

Tools Needed:
Flat Head Screwdriver
2 mm Allen Wrench
3 mm Allen Wrench
4 mm Allen Wrench

PROCEDURE:
  1. Move the Swivel Plate to the SERVICE POSITION.
  2. Remove the two slotted M3 screws to take the cover off the switch.
  3. Use the 4 mm Allen wrench to take out the two M5 limit switch mounting bolts. This will free the switch from the Swivel Plate.
  4. Next, use the 3 mm Allen wrench to remove the two M3 micro switch holder bolts.
  5. Then, removing the two M2 slotted screws to detach the micro switch from the holder.
  6. Unplug connector RECP38 and cut the nylon wire ties attached to the Swivel Plate to free the switch and cord assembly.
  7. Take the new switch and insert the plug end into RECP38.

    Replacement Collar Interruption Switches are usually purchased with the plug end already wired to the switch. If, however, you have a new switch that doesn't have a plug attached, you will have to connect the new switch to the existing plug.
  8. Mount the micro switch to the holder using the two M2 slotted screws.
  9. Unclamp the Notched Plate, lower it, put the mechanical switch in its proper position and hold it in place with one of the M5 mounting bolts.
  10. Check the position of the switch actuator arm. The actuator arm must be positioned so it sits slightly below the surface of the Notched Plate. If it is positioned above the Notched Plate, when the Notched Plate is clamped the actuator arm will be jammed against the Guide Plate and you will not be able to adjust the switch position later. If it is positioned too low, the set screw will not be long enough to make contact with the face of the collar, thus making the switch useless.
  11. If the switch actuator arm is not positioned correctly, use the 3 mm Allen wrench to loosen the clamp screw on the switch actuator arm.
  12. Then, use the 2 mm Allen wrench to turn the set screw until the arm is in the correct position.
  13. Take the mechanical switch off the Notched Plate by removing the M5 mounting bolt.
  14. Take the micro switch and holder and mount it to the mechanical switch using the M4 bolts, but do not fully tighten.
  15. Position the Operator Control Panel so you can see it while adjusting the switch. The press must be Powered up and in Inching Mode.
  16. Next, move the micro switch against the switch actuator arm until the blue light inside the FAULT RESET pushbutton is flashing.

    Push the micro switch in just far enough to make the light start flashing. If you move it in too far, the micro switch may get damaged when a collar interruption actually occurs.
  17. Tighten the M4 bolt.
  18. Mount the switch assembly to the Notched Plate using the M5 Allen head bolts.
  19. Take a spare collar assembly and hold it against the Guide Plate.
  20. Then, turn the spring-loaded contact set screw using the 2 mm Allen wrench until the contact set screw is touching the collar face.
  21. Then, continue turning the contact set screw until it pushes in the collar slightly into the collar holder (approx. 1 mm).
  22. Then, tighten the clamp screw to lock the contact set screw in position.
  23. Replace the switch cover with the two slotted M3 screws.
  24. Secure the green wire to the Swivel Plate using nylon wire ties.
