Heartbeat – a heartbeat of the Green status light starts right after the “power on / reset” indication and continues
until the peripheral first receives a message from the VMC. Once a message is received from the VMC the
heartbeat will not be shown again. Note: on a BevMax 4 Classic Machine, the heartbeat is almost never actually
seen because the VMC starts talking to the Cabinet Control Boards within a few seconds of powering on.
Fast blinking – a fast blinking Green status light (on and off 7 times per second) indicates that the Cabinet Control
Board is receiving communication from the VMC and sending a response. Note: Just because a response is being
sent to the VMC doesn’t necessarily mean the VMC is receiving it. There could be some defect that prevents the
Cabinet Control Board response from reaching the VMC.
KEYPAD
The Keypad is located on the front of the Service Door and plugs directly in
to the VMC. It consists of a 6” X 3” (15.2 cm X 7.6 cm) matrix, tactile feel
membrane switch pad and an overlay assembly. The Keypad utilizes the
letters A thru F on the left side and numbers 1 thru 0 along with the “”
symbol and “CLR” to the right. The Keypad is where the Vender
programming is accomplished and where the customers make their selections.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The Digital Display is located directly above the Keypad on the front of the Service
Door. It is used to convey information to the consumer as well as to the person
programming or servicing the Vender.
DELIVERY PORT ASSEMBLY
The Delivery Port assembly is located on the Service Door. Its purpose is to position the product in
the assembly for the consumer to retrieve and to cancel the vend. The Port Open and Closed Hall
Effect Sensors located on the top of the Delivery Port have been implemented to eliminate moving
parts that exist on mechanical switches to improve performance. The Brushed Port Motor, Hall
Effect Open/Close Sensors, and Product Detection Sensor are driven by the independent Cabinet
Control Port Board.
SHELF / TRAY ASSEMBLY
Typically, there are 5 Shelf assemblies in every Vender;
however, this can vary depending upon the configuration
specified at the time of ordering. Each can/bottle Shelf consists
of 9 or 7 columns. Each Shelf is capable of holding a variety of
packages. The Shelf assembly consists of the Tray, where all of
the following parts are mounted: Double Gate assembly and
the Slide/Pusher assembly. These items are discussed in detail
below.
