SECTION 2: INSTALLATION & SETUP
When I add coins prior to resetting my fl oat level, the changer automatically kicks coins
out. Why?
Overfi ll Paydown automatically returns any coins that exceed the Float Mode level. Any coins added to
the coin tubes after parring, or adding coins prior to setting a higher Float level will result in these extra
coins being sent to the coin return. See Step 14 above for how to Disable Float.
Setting Float (optional)
Float Mode records and maintains a predefi ned level of coins in the tubes, and typically will
maintain a lower level of change in the changer than if Float mode is not used. When using
Float mode, an accepted coin will only be routed to the tube if one has been paid out.

To reset fl oat, adjust the coin levels and repeat step 13 above.
15. Coin tubes can be disabled so that coins in those tubes will not be used in Float calculations
During use, coins in tubes with the fl oat disabled can fi ll to the 100% tube level. This is
commonly done for high-use, lower denomination coins (e.g. nickels). See Figure 16 on how to
Enable / Disable Float per tube.
Why is it that sometimes when setting a Float Level, the Float setting does not match the
exact value of coins loaded in the changer?
This could be for a couple of different reasons. The coin level sensing is accurate to within
+ 2 coins, so there could be a discrepancy based on coin stack thickness tolerances.
Secondly, when setting the fl oat level, the coin level sensing assumes a minimum of the hidden coin
level (5 coins per tube) for all enabled tubes, even if there are no coins loaded. To eliminate this
condition, diable all unused tubes. For the Guardian 6000, enter MENU/SETUP /CASSETTE /
CUSTOM and set unused tubes to “- - -”. For the Guardian E6, use MENU+D and then press the un
used tube letter button.
