6.16 EnergySENSIT
The EnergySensit feature is a way of reducing energy
consumption. When enabled, EnergySensit predicts
periods of inactivity and allows the internal
temperature of the vendor to rise slightly – and the
lighting turned off or dimmed - to take advantage of
these inactive times.
Essentially, by looking at past activity, the vendor
learns when to expect vends and when not to and
alters the temperature and lighting (and hence,
energy consumption) accordingly. Less energy is
used during these periods of inactivity.
Because of this increase in temperature, use of this
feature is not recommended if your machine vends
temperature-critical products. Note that the
EnergySensit temperature change feature cannot
be enabled while the Health & Safety function is
enabled.
1 - ENABLE
The factory default is "N" for no. When set to "Y,"
EnergySensit is enabled.
NOTE: If the Health and Safety feature is ON, the
display will show “ENERGYSENSIT OFF”
immediately after displaying “HEALTH AND
SAFETY ON.” To use EnergySensit the
Health and Safety feature must be off.
2 - CLEAR HISTORY
EnergySENSIT keeps a history of sales activity. The
entire contents of the history can be deleted and a
new record will start being recorded.
Caution! Simply pressing “2” will clear all of the past
history – there is no additional prompt.
3 - SET TEMP CHG
The factory default is 10° F. TEMP CHG (temperature
change) allows the user to set the temperature
change as an increase from the original temperature
set point (Refer to Section 6.6). During predicted
periods of inactivity, the vendor will maintain a
temperature equal to the temperature set point plus
the temperature change value. This value can be set
from 1°F to 30°F.
For example, 45° chiller set point
+10°
EnergySENSIT temp change
= 55° vendor temperature
4 – SET PATT TIME
The factory default is 7 days. PATT TIME (pattern
time) is a repeating cycle or time period that the
surrounding environment experiences. Although it can
be set from 1 to 10 days, 7 days represents the
typical cycle of most environments in the US and
many other countries. In a swing-shift type
environment where employees work 4 days and then
have 4 days off, set the PATT TIME to 8.
5 – SET HIST FACT
The factory default is 3. The HIST FACT (historical
factor) is used to determine how much past data to
use for predicting future periods of inactivity. If set to
3, it will use data from three pattern times. If set to 4,
it will use data from 4 pattern times, and so on. It can
be set from 3 to 15. The higher the number, the less
likely that someone will purchase a warmer-than-ideal
product , but the energy savings won't be as great.
6 – SET DEL TIME
The factory default is 3 hours. DEL TIME (delay time)
is the time it takes the vendible products to warm (or
cool) by the TEMP CHG amount. Typically, a machine
full of beverages will require a greater delay time than
one full of snacks.
7 - LIGHTING
This is a required feature in Energy Star vendors and
optional in the other models. Note that Lighting may
be used regardless of the status of the other
EnergySensit features, or of Health and Safety. The
factory default is "N" for No. Press the “7” key to
change between No and Yes.
Lighting uses the historical activity data to turn the
vendor lights off and on for machines with fluorescent
lamps, or to 10% brightness for machines equipped
with LED lighting. If the lights are off (or dimmed), and
the keypad is used or credit activity is detected, the
lights will come on for three minutes.
If the lights are off and the door is opened, the lights
will come on and remain on until the door is closed.
When the door is closed, the lights will turn off.
Lighting does not affect the Customer Display.
Note: To add this feature to a machine with
fluorescent lights, an additional relay and wire
harness are required. Please call the AMS Service
Department or your Distributor for more information.
8 - BRIGHTNESS
This is for machines with LED lighting only - the
fluorescent lamps are not dimmable and are either on
or off.
To use the LED dimming feature the vendor must be
equipped with S3 control board and have a 20158L or
later MDB harness.
The Display will show the present setting which can
range from 10% to 100%. Use the keypad “1” and “2”
buttons to change the default brightness. Press the *
key to save the new setting. The default will operate
when the vendor door is closed. The factory default is
100%.
