6.10 OPTIONS
1 - Message
The user can customize the scrolling message that is
displayed when the vendor is idle. It is best to write
out the desired message first. The message to be
displayed on the scrolling display can be up to 50
characters, including letters, numbers, punctuation
and spaces. New messages erase old ones.
Select the message option and the controller will
prompt the user to press “1” to change the message,
or press “#” to exit.
To enter a message, the user should rapidly tap a
particular key to cycle through a list of characters for
that key. Stop at the desired character. When the
keypad is left idle, the last-displayed character is
moved over to the end of the message. Continue to
select the next character. The key definitions are
similar to those of cell phones:
KEY 0: (space)0 KEY 5: JKL5
KEY 1: !?,.$:;*&”+-/<>=#%1 KEY 6: MNO6
KEY 2: ABC2 KEY 7: PQRS7
KEY 3: DEF3 KEY 8: TUV8
KEY 4: GHI4 KEY 9: WXYZ9
Pressing the * key will back space through the
message. Pressing the # key will save the message.
2 - Prize
The factory default is “0” for none. The user can set
the vendor to give away a free product after a
predetermined number of successful vends.
Enter the number of vends between free vends, up to
9999 and press * to Save, or press # to abort without
saving.
Setting the number to “0” will disable the prize option.
3 –Language
You will be prompted at Entry with:
1- Primary (In the current Primary language)
The user is presented with a menu of available
languages. The user may choose the primary
language for the display of all messages. Note that
Service Mode messages are available in Primary
language only.
2 - Secondary
If desired, the user can select a secondary language
for the display of all messages. The list is the same
as the list of Primary languages, but also includes the
Option of ‘0’ which means that there will be no
secondary language shown.
Messages will be displayed first in the primary
language, then in the secondary language.
4 - Product Sensor
This feature is used primarily when vending glass
bottles and products that can be damaged by other
falling products.
The factory default is “N” for no. With this setting, the
Product Sensor signal will be ignored.
If set to “Y”, the vendor will use the product sensor (if
present) to determine if there is product in the delivery
bin. The control board will not allow vending until any
product in the delivery bin is removed. A “REMOVE
PRODUCT” message will be displayed.
Press ‘4’ to toggle between ‘Y’ ands ‘N’ and press ‘#’
to save your selection.
Note: If you choose ‘Y’ and the Product Sensor is not
present, you will be prompted to “CHECK
MESSAGES IN SERVICE MDOE” when you close
the Door, and in a few seconds the vendor will enter
the OUT OF SERVICE mode.
5 - Speech
A speech synthesizer option is available for use with
RC Systems Inc. DoubleTalk LT speech synthesizer.
It operates only while the vendor is in service mode.
The speech synthesizer vocalizes keystrokes and
what is shown on the display.
The Options menu selection 5 enters the synthesizer
on/off menu. Press 5 to toggle on/off. Press # to exit
to the Options Menu.
When turned on the synthesizer is inactive until the
vendor is placed into service mode. The synthesizer
must be plugged into the DEX plug on the control
board. A utility cable (AMS P/N 20786, Harness, Chip
Programming) may be used, but it must be plugged
into a male-to-male gender adapter (Radio Shack 26-
231B) followed by a null modem adapter (Radio
Shack 26-264). The serial cable from the DoubleTalk
LT is plugged into the null modem adapter. The ¼”
jack from the utility cable is then plugged into the DEX
plug on the control board (other DEX functions cannot
be used while the DoubleTalk LT is plugged in). A
dedicated cable could also be constructed.
6 – Serial Number – Field ID101 in the DEX data
report is for the machine’s Serial Number and can be
used to identify the different machines on your route.
This field default is the Serial Number of the Control
Board itself.
This menu option allows you to program a Serial
Number of your choice up to 10 digits long
.
Enter the number you want to use – up to 10 Digits –
and press * to Save. If you make a mistake, simply
press # to Exit the process without saving.
