The Royal Sovereign FS-500 is a one-row coin sorter designed for efficient and accurate sorting of loose change. This device is ideal for personal or small business use, offering a straightforward approach to managing coins.
Function Description
The primary function of the FS-500 is to sort various U.S. coin denominations (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters) into their respective coin tubes. It features a hopper where loose change is inserted, and an internal mechanism then sorts the coins. The device is equipped with Royal Sovereign's Patented Anti-Jam Technology, which helps ensure smooth operation and accurate counts by automatically resolving jams. When a coin tube is full, the user is prompted to remove the filled coin wrapper and replace it with a new one to continue sorting. An overflow tray is also present to collect any excess coins that do not fit into the tubes.

Usage Features
The FS-500 is designed for user-friendly operation.

- Run/Stop Button: A prominent "RUN/STOP" button allows users to easily start and stop the coin counting process. This button is also used to power on the machine and to pause sorting when a coin tube is full.
- Coin Tray: The coin tray needs to be fully pulled out before activation and operation, ensuring proper coin collection.
- Coin Wrappers: The machine is designed to work with preformed coin wrappers, which are inserted into clear coin tubes. A starter pack of coin wrappers is included with the product.
- Anti-Jam Technology: The patented Anti-Jam Technology automatically works to resolve coin jams, indicated by a ticking sound. If a jam persists, troubleshooting steps are provided, including gently tapping the machine, turning it off, and manually removing the jammed item from the running vessel after loosening the hopper lid.
- Power Switch: A power switch located on the back of the machine controls the main power, allowing users to turn off the device when not in use or when moving it.
Maintenance Features
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the FS-500.
- Cleaning: Before cleaning, the machine must be unplugged from the wall. Users are advised not to use liquid or aerosol cleaners directly on the machine.
- Jam Resolution: While the machine has automatic jam resolution, manual intervention might be required for persistent jams. This involves turning off the machine, loosening the hopper lid screw with a coin, lifting the hopper lid to expose the running vessel, retrieving the jammed item, and then reassembling and restarting the machine.
- Environmental Conditions: The machine operates best at room temperature and should not be used in areas with high temperatures or high humidity, as this can affect its performance.
- Storage: When unattended or not in use for an extended period, the device should be turned off and unplugged.
- Service and Repair: Users are explicitly warned not to take the machine apart. Any service or repair should be handled by a qualified service repair technician.
