6-4
6.9.2 Prize – The factory default is “0” for none. The user
can set the vendor to give away a free product after
a predetermined number of successful vends.
Enter the number of vends between free vends, up
to 9999. Setting the number to “0” will disable the
prize option.
6.9.3 Language
6.9.3.1 Primary – The user is presented with a menu of
available languages. The user may choose the
primary language for the display of all messages.
Note that Service Mode messages are available in
Primary language only.
6.9.3.2 Secondary – If desired, the user can select a
secondary language for the display of all
messages. Messages will be displayed first in the
primary language, then in the secondary
language.
6.9.3.3
Create Custom – The user can create customized
versions of words or enter words in another
language. For convenience, the primary language
messages can be used as a starting point. The
user can then select words to modify. After
creating the customized messages, set the
primary or secondary language to CUSTOM.
6.9.4 Product Sensor – If set to “ Y ”, the vendor will use
the product sensor (optional) to determine if there is
product in the delivery bin. The control board will
not allow vending until any product in the delivery
bin is removed. A “REMOVE PRODUCT” message
will be displayed. This feature is used primarily
when vending glass bottles and products that can
be damaged by other falling products.
6.9.5 Speech - A speech synthesizer option is available
for use with RC Systems Inc. DoubleTalk LT
speech synthesizer. It operates only while the
vendor is in service mode. The speech synthesizer
vocalizes keystrokes and what is shown on the
display.
The Options menu selection 5 enters the
synthesizer on/off menu. Press 5 to toggle on/off.
Press # to exit to the Options Menu.
When turned on the synthesizer is inactive until
the vendor is placed into service mode.
The synthesizer must be plugged into the DEX
plug on the control board. The Sensit II utility cable
(P/N 20786, Harness, Chip Programming) may be
used, but it must be plugged into a male-to-male
gender adapter (Radio Shack 26-231B) followed by
a null modem adapter (Radio Shack 26-264). The
serial cable from the DoubleTalk LT is plugged into
the null modem adapter. The ¼” jack from the
Sensit II utility cable is then plugged into the DEX
plug on the control board (other DEX functions
cannot be used while the DoubleTalk LT is plugged
in). A dedicated cable could also be constructed.
6.10 SALES BLOCKING
The factory default is “ N ” for no. The user can define
up to four time periods each day during which specified
selections will be blocked. For each time period, the user
can select which days of the week blocking will be active.
All or any combination of selections in the vendor can be
blocked.
1-4 SET PERIODS – Enter the number (1-4) of the time
period to edit. For the selected period, enter the time when
sales blocking will start, then enter the time when sales
blocking will end. Select the days of the week when the
blocking period will be active. If a blocking period extends
from one day into the next, it will be active or inactive based
on the day it starts.
ALL SELECTIONS? - If the question ‘ALL SELECTIONS?’
is answered YES, every selection in the vendor will be
blocked for that period as defined. If the answer is NO, then
enter each individual selection where blocking is desired.
Any combination of tray and column may be entered. After
saving, those selections will be blocked for that period.
6.11 CLOCK SETTINGS
1. TIME AND DATE – Enter the current time and date.
This information will be used for data logs and error
records.
2. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS – The factory default is “ N ” for no.

default is 12-hour format.
6.12 FREE VEND
The factory default is “ N ” for no. The vendor can be
quickly set to vend all products for free. Prices are ignored
while FREE VEND is enabled. The original prices will be
restored when FREE VEND is turned off.

user can change the setting. A warning will be briefly
displayed if FREE VEND is turned on.
6.13 AUXILIARY OUTPUT
The auxiliary output is a 5VDC signal lasting 100
milliseconds following a successful vend. This signal can
be used to trigger user-supplied external devices. As of
this writing, AMS does not supply such accessory devices
and cannot offer technical assistance for such devices. This
feature is provided only as a convenience to those users of
advanced technical skill who wish to connect such a device
to their AMS vendor and have sufficient electronic expertise
to do so.
