Vending Machine
Vending Machine
1.0 Description
This machine is a chilled spiral merchandiser. It has 6 trays – 3 or 4 snack
spiral trays & 3 or 2 drink trays.
The machine’s robust construction makes it ideal for many locations. The
machine has superior insulation, a double glazed window. Meanwhile, it has
two temperature compartment (top and bottom). It has no problem for the
refrigeration to maintain temperatures for bottom 3 or 2 trays down to 8℃
and for top 3 trays between 14℃ and 25℃. (when max ambient
temperature is 40 ℃)
For added safety an electrical cut out switch (RCD) is built in as standard.
Coinage systems and/or note validators are catered for by the MDB protocol
and two board processor and output electronics with in built diagnostics.
All vend motors are 24 volt operation and spirals can be interchanged easily.
This machine is suitable for indoor use.

2.0 Installation
Remove all packing materials and dispose of correctly. Once the installation
site has been chosen ensure that the machine is level and all four levelers
touch the ground. Check that the door can be opened fully and the machine
1
is stable and level.
MACHINE MAY MISS-VEND IF NOT LEVEL
We don't install the guided wind cover of the machine before leaving factory,
because it is convenient for package and transportation. You should install it
before the machine is put into service as the following:
1) Open the door and take out the guided wind cover from the right small
drawer of the merchandiser.
2) Loosen the lower four screws holding the wind outlet against the back of
the cabinet.
3) Put the guided wind cover to the wind outlet align with the holes in the
outlet and the cabinet.
NOTE: Wear protective gloves when installing the guided wind cover to
prevent injury.
Allow 300mm minimum between machine and the wall for air circulation and
refrigeration ventilation.
Ensure that a 220~240 volt AC, 13 Amps/ 110~130 volt AC, 26 Amps (based
on your actual machine) earthed outlet is within 2 meters of the machine.
This machine should not be used with an extension lead.

THIS MACHINE MUST BE EARTHED
Open the door and power up the machine. Switch on the circuit -breaker
power switch. The lights, coin mech, LCD display and refrigeration system
commence operation.

Located on the right hand side of the cabinet are four shelves for storing
excess items. Although the shelves are outside the refrigerated part of the
machine, due to the excellent insulation they are protected from high
ambient temperatures.
4.0 Coinage
This machine uses Multi Drop Bus protocol for coinage and note validators.
5.0 Refrigeration
1) This system is an air conditioner. Care should be taken neither to obstruct
the rear air grille nor to site the machine too close to a wall. Failure to
observe these points may invalidate the refrigeration system warranty.
2) The refrigeration system is operated through the electronic control board.
There are two temperature sensors in the cabinet: one control the current
temperature, the other control the defrost temperature. When an unusual
condition takes place and leads to the fact that the evaporator frosts, the
sensor will send out a signal to the controller, then the controller in turn shut
off the compressor through the relay.
3) If the temperature is above the setting that has been programmed in by
the user, the controller sends a signal to the refrigeration relay. The
energized relay closes to complete the high voltage circuit that powers the
compressor and the condenser fan.
4) If the compressor should overheat, a thermal overload removes power to
the compressor until it is cooled.
5) When the temperature in the cabinet reaches 8℃ (the temperature
setting), the controller de-energizes the relay, which in turn breaks the
4
circuit powering the compressor.
6) The controller will also shut off the compressor if the door is opened. This
is to prevent the refrigeration unit from freezing up.
After the compressor shut down, the controller will wait until the compressor
has been shut down for 3 minutes and if applicable, the door has been
closed for 1 minute before restarting the compressor. The delay allows
pressure in the system to equalize.
Note: The refrigeration system is pressurized and sealed at the factory.
Puncturing or cutting any component in the system will cause refrigerant gas
and liquid to be propelled out of the system, and may create an immediate
physical hazard. Use caution to avoid accidentally opening the refrigerant
system.
It should also be noted that releasing refrigerant to the atmosphere is a
federal crime and is punishable by law. Any service work requiring the
system to be opened must be performed by a licensed technician using
certified equipment. Unauthorized service to the sealed refrigerant system
may void the warranty.
1) Never puncture or cut any component in the refrigeration system.
2) Always use licensed service technicians to service the refrigeration
system.
3) Always wear hand and eye protection when servicing the vendor.
