Congratulations on the purchase of your new AMS Sensit 3
vendor. All Sensit 3 models are versatile, high-capacity vending
machines. AMS machines are designed, tested, and built to
provide years of reliable, low-maintenance service in an indoor
environment. A fully insulated cabinet, DEX data capability, and
flexible product configuration are just some of the many features
built into every AMS merchandiser.
SENSIT 3 SYSTEM
Your vendor is equipped with the Sensit 3 control system. The
Sensit 3 system is a patented vend-sensing system that detects
when products fall into the delivery bin. Basically, a plane of infra
-red light is created across the top of the delivery bin, and the
Sensit 3 system can detect when the light has been blocked by a
falling product. Using this technology, the vendor “knows” when
your customer gets the product. The Sensit 3 system has
several important benefits:
Guaranteed Delivery
If, during the vend, the product hangs up or an opening was
missed in loading, the helix can rotate several additional partial
revolutions to attempt to deliver the product. No more hitting or
shaking the vendor to get products that did not fall!
Instant Refund
If the customer does not receive a product, he can receive a full
refund by pressing the coin return, or he can select another
product. No more refund requests!
Adjustable Helix Motion
With the Sensit 3 system, the helix can stop as soon as the
product falls, or when the helix returns to the home position.
See
TRAY SETUP
on page 22 for more information.
Additional Benefits:
•
Opening the delivery bin door will not affect the
Sensit 3 system. The sensors are located above
the delivery bin and will not be blocked by the bin
door. Product that falls while the door is open will
still pass through the beam.
•
Shining a light at a sensor will not allow vandals to
receive free product. Any tampering which changes
the precise amount of light normally received will be
treated as a successful vend, resulting in the vandal
losing his money.
•
Disabling or blocking the sensor will not allow
vandals to receive free product. The Sensit 3
system can over-ride blocked or malfunctioning
sensors and still vend.
•
Opening the door of a cold vendor will cause some
condensation to form inside. The Sensit 3 system
will not allow vending until this fogging clears,
normally within a few minutes of closing the door.
