11. Sorting Coins
Due to the improvements incorporated in the SR5 series 4-way sorter, this sorter is not
compatible with any of the sorters previously manufactured by MCL and vice versa.
11.1 4-way Sorter
Normally the SR5i will be used to sort coins to one of 4 paths.
(The passive manifold, if fitted, is used to channel the coins into the BACTA industry
standard footprint).
Sorting can be achieved either using the routing plug (see
Sorting Modes
– page
25
) or
having the paths pre-programmed into EEPROM. Switching between EEPROM and routing
plug can be achieved using the rotary switch (see
Routing Plug / EEPROM mode “E”
– page
33
)
When in serial (ccTalk) mode, EEPROM routing is used.

11.2 8-way Sorter (Active Manifold)
Other applications require sorting up to 8 different paths. This can be achieved using the
active manifold in conjunction with the 4-way sorter. This method can only be used however,
if the sorter paths are programmed in EEPROM.
