Section 6 - The Vend Cycle
6.1 Standby Mode
In standby mode the machine is idle, awaiting input from the drink selection keypad.
The LCD will display to the customer one of a number of messages indicating the credit
mechanism of the machine, the coin set and the time. The messages displayed are
determined by the type of coin system which has been programmed via the System
Settings menu (Section 4, page 38).
The credit mechanism is indicated by one of the following prompts:
1. ‘No Money Required’ - indicates that a free vend mode is in force.
2. ‘Please Insert Card’ - indicates that a card system is attached.
3. ‘Please Insert Coins’ - indicates that a coin mechanism is connected.
4. ‘Please Insert Key’ - indicates that the machine is fitted with a key system.
In addition, the prompts ‘Exact Change Please’ or ‘No Change Given’ inform the
customer whether change is available. If the mechanism is set to acceptor, the ‘No
Change Given’ message will always be displayed. If the mechanism is set to change-
giver, the prompt will depend upon how full the change tubes are. For more
information please refer to the manual supplied with the change-giver.
The coin set accepted by the coin mechanism is also displayed. This is pre-set in the
controller and outlined in the section covering the programming of the coin set in the
engineer’s program.
6.2 Selecting A Drink
Drink selections are made by pressing the appropriate selection button on the keypad
and then utilising the keypad selection buttons and the LCD display to alter the drink
strength and add milk/sugar to suit the customers personal preference. When in
standby mode, all drink selection buttons will be lit indicating that the drink is available
to be selected. At this time the Milk, Sugar and Start buttons are not lit.
The following example describes how to vend a Gourmet Coffee selection from a
machine set to ‘Free Vend’.
1. Press selection button 6, Gourmet Coffee on
the keypad. All of the other selections buttons
will be extinguished, the Milk, Sugar and Start
buttons will light up and the machine exits from
standby mode. The LCD will display the screen
as shown opposite.
