Interface
Gryphon operates in machines that support the MDB interface. MDB is a serial
communication interface standard that developed into vending equipment since 1996. It
allows for multiple devices to be added to a single connection on the vending machine
control board, by linking one device to another parallel to the main MDB harness.
Specifications
The operating voltage of Gryphon coin manager is listed on the label of each product. The
label is located on the left side of the device. It must not be used with any power source
other than that indicated.
Restrictions
Please consult your CPI sales representative; CPI authorized distributor, or
cranepi.com/support for a list of compatible Vending Machines.
Safety
 The coin changer PCBs are fitted with components that can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Please observe proper handling procedure for components
exposed to the risk of electrostatic discharge.
 Do not use the coin changer if the device or connecting cables are damaged.
 Turn off power to the vending machine before you remove or clean the coin changer.
 Contact CPI if you wish to alter the construction of the device to a greater extent than
that described in this manual.
 If the device is no longer required, please dispose of it correctly.

INSTALLATION
Please note that a single page installation guide for the Gryphon can also be found on our
website.
Unpacking the Coin Changer

Unpack the Coin Changer and immediately inspect it for damage. If the unit is damaged,
return it to its original carton along with packing materials.
Notify the delivering carrier of damages and request immediate inspection. Send a letter of
intent to file a claim to the delivering carrier within 72 hours from the time of delivery. Send a
copy of the letter to the shipper.
Only the consignee (the person or company receiving the Coin Changer) can file a claim
against the carrier for concealed damages.
Retain the original carton and packing materials for future use in shipping or transporting the
Coin Changer.
Mounting
The Gryphon was designed for ease of mounting onto existing studs provided by Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Some machines may require brackets or faceplates to
mount the unit. Refer to your machine operation manual or contact your distributor/OEM for
more model-specific mounting information.
1. Turn off the power to the vending machine.
2. Push and hold the yellow button on the top right of the coin manager and tilt the
assembly forward to access the mounting holes. You do not have to remove the
cassette.
3. Hang the Gryphon on the vending machine’s mounting studs.
4. The lower mount (3) can be difficult to see through the device. Hanging the Gryphon
on the top two studs first will help you locate the lower mount.

5. Tighten screws if necessary, being careful not to over-tighten, and close the acceptor
assembly. The lower mount is difficult to access with a large screw driver.
6. Remove the cassette. Lift it by the handle and pull towards you.
7. Fill the cassette with coins, ensuring the coins are inserted into the proper tubes.
8. Return the filled cassette to the Gryphon and insure it is properly seated.
9. Connect the MDB Cable.
a. If you have a bill acceptor, connect the MDB harness from the Gryphon to the
bill acceptor’s “Y Connector”.
10. Tuck any excess cabling inside the vending machine, ensuring that the cables do not
interfere with the Vending Machine or Gryphon’s operation.
11. Restore power to the vending machine.
5
Alignment
After installation, ensure that there is a small gap (2-4mm) between the lever on the vending
machine and the return lever on the coin manager.
 Depress the coin return lever on the machine door, confirm that it fully opens the
accepter lid on the coin manager and then returns smoothly, without holding the door
open.
 Check the alignment of the coin input chute and the cashbox. Insert some coins to
ensure that they enter the cashbox and exit into the return cup.
 Ensure that the coin chute does not rest on or open the Acceptor assembly lid.
 Align, adjust and test as necessary to ensure coins are properly routed before
continuing.
6
INITIAL POWER UP
The coin manager will power up and check the number of coins in each tube. If any tubes
are empty, the coin manager will tell you which tubes need coins. You should fill all tubes
with a minimum of three coins per tube.
Once the cassette is filled with coins, the manager will measure the tubes and display the
total amount of change.
Cassette Setup

CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The Gryphon has many features that allow the product to be called a change manager
rather than a change giver. In addition to the high capacity six tube cassette, these features
enable the Gryphon to more effectively manage the operation of the unit and to optimize the
float levels of the machine and the change payout. These features provide an opportunity for
the operator to optimize vend revenue by minimizing the amount of time the unit operates in
exact change mode.
Float to Level
What is Float to Level?
Each tube can be filled to a specific level, after which the coins are routed to the cash box.
This is the traditional float style, also known as Par. To set this up, enter the total number of
coins of that type that you want to store in the changer. This level applies to all tubes holding
the same type of coin. For example, if the level was 30, and the coins were stored in three
tubes, there will be ten coins in each tube.
Float to Value
What is Float to Value?
This feature gives the customer a simple set up and improved audit process. They use this if
they want $32.25 in the tubes but want the changer to compute and dynamically alter the
ratio of coins in the tubes and give the best mix of coins ready for change.
How does it work?
The Gryphon continually computes coin levels for each tube based upon whether tubes are
naturally replenished or depleted and how often the tube is used for change. It will
dynamically adjust the mix of coins to make best use of the coins it most typically
encounters, adjusting to your consumer pool.
It will always try and have at least seven coins in any tube to ensure the exact change
indicator is kept off and will continue to add more coins to the tubes until the overall value for
the entire cassette matches the target value set by the customer.
For example, if your customer base tends to use quarters, the Gryphon will adjust the mix of
coins to compensate for quarter-heavy traffic.
Will it work immediately?
Yes. However, the initial mix of coins in the tubes may not be optimal.
14
Auto-Float
What is Auto-Float?
Auto-float operates with the optimal amount of money in the tubes needed to ensure the
exact change light is rarely lit and that change is available for vends. Generally this reduces
the float levels in day-to-day operation.
How does it work?
It tracks incoming and outgoing coins as well as bills from peripherals to determine the
optimal amount of change needed to maintain operation, averaged over a period of time,
allowing for fluctuations in customer traffic.
Yes. However, it requires some time to gather information on how the tubes are being used.
During this time, it will run the tubes at their maximum level to ensure there is always enough
change.
 The consumer will not notice a difference.
 Auto-float will ask for a number of coins inserted to meet the auto float level. Any
coins inserted once the float level has been achieved will be routed to the cash box –
no overfill is possible.
 If a coin tube has more coins in it than is required by the auto float, the tube will
dispense coins until the correct level is reached.
 The float level will change depending on the ratio of coins accepted and coins
dispensed.
 Auto float only manages coins to cash box; it will stop routing to the cash box if they
are needed to keep the exact change light off.
 Float Up and Float Down do not operate in auto float mode.
Snapshot Float
What is Snapshot Float?
When this function is chosen, it takes a "snapshot" of the current cassette and uses that
data to set the float settings.
How Does it work?
The snapshot feature allows the operator to manually fill the coin cassette tubes to a
predetermined level or value and then save it as the operational float settings.
Yes. The snapshot feature is only available when the unit is set to ‘Float to Level’ or ‘Float
to Value’.
