Hello,

My machine is a Barcrest Jailbirds MPU5 in a Horizon cabinet built in 2008.

 

I have a question on how to reset the hopper level to about £35 or so, I set it before so that when there was about £30- £40 the hopper would be full and then all the next £1 coins would go into the cash boxes.

 

I can't remember how I reset it and I've followed the instructions on the manual to totally dump all of the hopper, then with the refill key turned I filled it with £35 of coins,then turned the refill key back , but no luck as the coins still go into the hopper until there is £100 pounds worth in the hopper !! 

 

The machine previously worked until the grandchildren had two jackpot wins of £35 within a few plays and emptied the machine and set off the alarm, I've never had a jackpot win myself !!  The machine still works O.K. and pays out etc as needed.

 

Any help would be appreciated , thanks in advance.

 

P.S. I'm still a novice with this machine and I'm learning slowly each day.

I would empty the hopper again, then put £35 of coins into the hopper and then press the Hopper Top Up button. The machine will then think it's full and divert any coins to the cashbox.
