7 -PROGRAMMING
This chapter describes how to set and/or change the parameters
programmed on the vending machine.
It is then advisable to read it carefully, performing the intervention
only once the proper sequence of operations to be performed has
been understood,
In order to better understand the issue, its necessary to define a
few terms that are going to be used in this chapter:
- The term "digit" stands for the number or the letter that together
with others, composes the "parameter" .
- The term "parameter" stands for the whole of the "digits" that
sets a certain function.
The Programming system is developed in four levels:
- The first level includes the five main items of the programming
menu;
- The second eve displays all the functions of each programming
menu item;
- The third level displays the memorized settings for each pro-
grammable function;
- The fourth level displays the modifiable parameters of the func-
tions.
The five main items of the Programming menu are:
• system management
• payment systems
• drink preparation
• vending handler
• time management
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
• change current date and time;
• insert text lines that will be visualized on the display during drink
dispensing, when the vending machine is on standby and when it
stops for out-of-service or due to a problem;
• activate the pre-selection that displays the balance cash amount
for drink dispensing.
PAYMENT SYSTEMS
Its' the second main item of the programming menu.
It allows the setting of all the following parameters associated with
the different payment systems:
• coin values;
• enabling multi-product dispensing (residual credit management);
• OVER-PAY time (residual credit confiscation),
BEVERAGE PREPARATION
Its' the third main item of the programming menu.
In model D.A, 5P, it allows the preparation of the five dispensable
drinks.
Each drink may be obtained by combining coffee bean grinding
with the soluble product and water. Dispensing shall be performed
according to the set sequence. The quantity of ground coffee shall
be set for each drink, together with the quantity of soluble product
and water, and the dispensing speeds of the soluble product and
water.
In model D.A. 3P, it allows the preparation of the three dispensable
drinks.
Each drink is obtained from the combination of bean coffee grinding
and water. Each drink requires the setting of coffee and water
quantity.
It's the first main item of the Programming menu.
It allows to set the parameters concerning machine operation and
verify its use status (by reading the counters).
Moreover, its' possible to assign a code to the vending machine,
display the registration number and insert or modify the password
that gives access to programming.
The displayable counters refer to:
- coffee;
- water;
- drinks;
- soluble products (only D.A. 5P)
For each of them the counter reports the number of performed vends
and the executable ones. Beyond such limit the vending machine will
stop dispensing drinks. Each counter may be zeroed. The number of
possible vends (BLOCKS) can be modified.
System Management allows to:
• change the maximum and minimum vending machine operating
temperatures;
SALES MANAGEMENT
It's the fourth main item of the programming menu.
In model D.A. 5P, it allows to set the value of four prices to be
associated with the five drinks.
In model D.A. 3P it allows to set the value of four prices to be
associated with the three drinks.
TIME MANAGEMENT
It's the fifth main item of the programming menu. It allows to set the
following vending machine functions to be performed within certain
time bands:
• free product dispensing;
• machine start up and shutdown time;
• time bands within which discounts or rises should be applied to
drink prices;
• hydraulic circuit automatic cleaning
