Cabinet Peripheral Control Boards Green Status Light
Example - Cup Motor Board Status Light
Each of the 5 Cabinet Peripheral Control Boards has a Green Status Light. A fast blinking Green Status Light
indicates the Cabinet Peripheral Control Board has power and is communicating with the VMC, acknowledging
the Cabinet Peripheral Control Board is good. A Green Status Light On solid indicates the Cabinet Peripheral
Control Board has power but is not receiving communication from the VMC, indicating there is a Cabinet
Peripheral Control Board, VMC, or harness connection problem. No Green Status Light indicates the Cabinet
Peripheral Control Board is not receiving 5VDC or Communication. Refer to troubleshooting for steps to
determine possible cause.
Cabinet Peripheral Control Boards Green Status Light provide additional various lighting patterns used to
indicate the status of the individual Cabinet Peripheral Control Boards. They include:
Power on / Reset – a slow brightening and then slow diming of the Green Status Light that takes 3 to 5 seconds
to complete. This happens once each time the Board is powered on and/or reset. If the Green Status Light
slowly brightens and dims continuously indicates the software was not loaded properly. Reload Software.
Heartbeat – a heartbeat of the Green Status Light starts right after the “Power on / Reset” indication and
continues until the Peripheral Control Board 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 Refresh 4 Classic Machine, the
heartbeat is almost never actually seen because the VMC starts talking to the Cabinet Peripheral Control Boards
within a few seconds of powering on.
Fast blinking – a fast blinking Green Status Light (on and off approximately 7 times per second) indicates that
the Cabinet Peripheral 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 Peripheral Control Board response from reaching the VMC.
The following are some failure modes you may experience with the new electronics platform BevMax Refresh 4
Classic Machine and the troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve the issue using the 7 VMC Diagnostic
Lights.
No Power to the Vender
1. If the Vending Machine does not have power, check the following:
a. The Vender Power Supply Cord is plugged into the electrical outlet.
b. The electrical outlet is providing the appropriate AC Voltage.
c. The Power Supply Cord GFCI is not tripped (Domestic Venders).
d. The Power Supply Cord is plugged into the AC Distribution Box.
e. The AC Distribution Box Lighted On/Off Switch is in the On position.
