Conlux CCM5G Coin Changer
The Conlux CCM5G is a 5-tube MDB multi-price coin changer. Conlux (later under MEI) built it as a high-capacity alternative to 3-tube mechs. The cassette snaps in and the changer reads the tube layout automatically — no keypad programming.
What it does
- Accepts U.S. nickels, dimes, quarters, and $1 coins
- Switch-selectable U.S. only, Canadian only, or both (Canadian $1 and $2 as well)
- Five-tube removable cassette with auto recognition
- Simultaneous payout of up to three coins (with a Level 3 controller)
- Smart payout retries if a coin hangs
- Dollar-coin payout on US-4 cassettes
- Anti-salting drain path
- LED diagnostics
- Memory backup through a power loss
- Float / automatic change-level function
- Optional satellite tubes (ST-5 nickels or ST-25 quarters)
Electrical and interface
- Voltage: 34V DC
- Interface: MDB, 6-pin
- Standby about 0.10 A; motor about 0.66 A; peak about 0.92 A
- Size: 14.83" H × 5.43" W × 3.23" D; about 4.2 lb
Cassette configurations (specify on the listing)
| Cassette | Tubes A–E | Capacity (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| US-1 | 25¢ / 5¢ / 25¢ / 10¢ / 25¢ | $82.65 |
| US-2 | 10¢ / 5¢ / 25¢ / 10¢ / 5¢ | $53.10 |
| US-4 | $1 / 5¢ / 25¢ / 10¢ / 25¢ | $137.90 |
| US-5 | 10¢ / 10¢ / 5¢ / 10¢ / 5¢ | $43.10 |
US-1 (three quarter tubes) is the most common drink-machine setup. Fill all five tubes, or at least the primary tubes, or the extra capacity is wasted.
How it compares
- Coinco 9302-GX / MEI TRC-6512: 3-tube MDB, simpler, less change on hand
- MEI CF7512: also 5-tube MDB, but uses an LCD and must be programmed for cassette changes
- CCM5G: 5 tubes, cassette self-IDs, no programming when you swap cassettes
- MCM5 is the later Conlux successor with larger tubes and extra float options
