Press “0” to clear coupled motor sets from the control
board. The display will read “XX: COUPLE OFF”.
To return to Tray Setup, press the “#” key at any time.
The tray numbers on the front of the tray should be
changed to suit.
Note: A coupled motor set will vend using the price
of the lowest numbered column selected, but for the
above example the customer can actually use any
selection number 24, 25, 26, or 27 to purchase the
product. Sales reporting in the Accounting Menu or
the DEX system will only list sales from the lowest
numbered column.
The Coupled Motor feature will not work with Sensit 2
motors.
6.9 MDB (MULTI-DROP BUS) SETTINGS
The user can select from many different operating
features using the following settings.
1 - Force Vend
The factory default is “N” for no. If set to “Y”, the
customer is forced to make a selection before the
control will allow a refund. If the selected product
cannot be dispensed, a full refund can be returned to
the customer. Note that if the CHANGE BILL feature
is ON, it will override Force Vend.
2 - No Cheat
The factory default is “Y” for yes. If set to “Y”, the
control will not allow a vend to occur unless correct
change can be returned to the customer. If disabled,
the control will allow the customer to be short-
changed up to $1.00.
3 - Change Bill
The factory default is “N” for no. If set to “Y”, the
customer can insert a bill and receive a full refund in
coins by pressing the coin return button. Note that
using CHANGE BILL will override Force Vend.
4 - Hold Lost Credit
The factory default is “Y” for yes. If set to “Y”, any
remaining credit after a vend that cannot be returned
to the customer will be maintained on the machine
and be displayed for 15 minutes. The customer can
add to this credit to purchase additional items.
5 - Multi-Vend
The factory default is “N” for no. If set to “Y”, the
vendor will hold and display any change due the
customer following a vend. The customer is thus
encouraged to make additional purchases with the
remaining credit. The customer may push the coin
return button at any time to refund this credit.
6 - Lev2 Coin Mech
The factory default is “N” for no. If set to “Y”, the
vendor will treat the coin changer as a level 2 device
even if it reports itself as a Level 3. There is a very
specific and technical reason this could be used, and
AMS recommends that this option remain as “N” for
no.
The vendor must be powered down before change
will take effect.
7 - Instant Revaluation
Certain Cashless Systems allow the vendor to add
value to a customer’s Cashless Account.
The Default setting is “Y” – With this setting, if a Card
is inserted (or swiped) in a Cashless device of this
type then any cash is inserted will be instantly
credited to the Cashless account. This will continue
until the Cashless system’s limit is reached.
If the Instant Reval setting is “N” and a Card is
inserted (or swiped) in a Cashless device of this type,
cash inputs will be accumulated
until the customer
presses the Coin Return or the Reader’s Cancel
Button or attempts a product selection. The
credit inserted will then be added to the Cashless
account, and the Display will show “CREDIT ADDED
TO CARD”. This setting is only necessary to
accommodate a limited number of Cashless systems
and would not normally be used.
Regardless of this setting, if there is cash-based
credit on the machine when a Card is inserted (or
swiped) in a Cashless device of this type, the credit is
immediately transferred to the Cashless Account. (If
there is more Credit than the Cashless system can
accept, the remainder will be paid back to the
customer as change.
8 - Hide Card Value
Use this feature to display or not display the value
transferred from the card.
The factory default is “N” for no. With this setting, the
value transmitted from the card to the vendor will be
displayed. This amount is usually equal to the highest
priced item in the vendor.
When set to “Y” the feature is enabled, the value
transmitted from the card to the vendor will be
displayed
as “-.- -“. This can avoid confusion for the
customer when the maximum priced value is
displayed before making a selection for a lesser cost
product.
Press “8” to change the YES to a NO and again to
change it back. Press”#” to save any change and exit
this feature.
