milliseconds following a successful vend. This signal
can be used to trigger user-supplied external devices.
AMS does not currently supply such accessory
devices and cannot offer technical assistance for such
devices. This feature is provided only as a
convenience to those users of advanced technical
skill who wish to connect such a device to their AMS
vendor and have sufficient electronic expertise to do
so.
Press “1” to VIEW / EDIT and then to toggle between
Y and N, then press “#” to Save the setting and exit.
6.15 DATA LOGS
The user can review recorded data on vendor
temperature, power outages, and door openings. This
data is sometimes helpful in diagnosing problems with
the vendor. These logs are cleared whenever the
software is changed, and once the maximum number
of entries is reached, the oldest entry will drop from
the list. There are some special situations on these
logs – please read the Notes indicated.
1. TEMPERATURE – The temperature log contains
temperature measurements taken at half-hour
intervals over the previous 48 hours. When you
enter this submenu, the Display will show you to
press “1” to move to the next ‘older’ reading or “2”
to move up to the next ‘more recent’ reading.
After a brief delay, the program will begin at the
most recent reading (#1).
The reading number (1 through 96
NOTE
), the
recorded temperature and the date and time of
the reading will be displayed.
Press either “1” or “2” to step through the
readings. Press “#” to EXIT when you’ve
finished.
2. POWER OUTAGE – The power outage log
shows power off and on information. When you
enter this submenu, the Display will show you to
press “1” to move to the next ‘older’ event or “2”
to move up to the next ‘more recent’ reading.
After a brief delay, the program will begin at the
last power ON data (#1).
The reading number (1 - 10
NOTE
), then whether
this record was for power ON or OFF, and the
recorded temperature at the time will be shown
on the top line, with the date and time of the
reading displayed on the bottom line of the
Display.
Press either “1” or “2” to step through the
readings. Press “#” to EXIT when you’ve
finished.
3. DOOR SWITCH – The door switch log records
door openings and closings. Display will show
you to press “1” to move to the next ‘older’ event
or “2” to move up to the next ‘more recent’
reading. After a brief delay, the program will
begin at the last door OPEN data (#1).
The reading number (1 - 10
NOTE
), then whether
this record was for door OPEN or CLOSED, and
the recorded temperature at the time will be
shown on the top line, with the date and time of
the reading displayed on the bottom line of the
Display.
Press either “1” or “2” to step through the
readings. Press “#” to EXIT when you’ve
finished.
NOTES: In a new machine, or right after a software
upgrade, temperature readings will not be taken for
30 minutes, so you will not be able to enter the
Temperature Menu.
Records will not be displayed if they haven’t been
recorded yet – so you will not have all 96 temperature
readings until the new board or software upgrade has
been operating for a full 48 hours.
The temperature readings for an ambient (not chilled)
snack machine will be shown as 125°.
