PAYMENT AND SELECTION SYSTEM
Your new Touchless machine is equipped with a state of the art
electronics system that communicates with Mobile Devices
using Bluetooth
®
radio technology.
When the Insight board detects a mobile device connection -by a
user activating the
mobile app -it transmits the machine’s
planogram of product images to that mobile device. When the
user makes a product selection and initiates a purchase the
Insight board then connects to the internet via wi-fi or cellular
connection and the payment method chosen by the user is
verified and authorized.
Once authorization is received by the Insight, it sends the
approved credit amount to the AMS Control Board via MDB in
the same way any cashless device would do. After this is
complete, the Insight then sends the appropriate selection
number to the AMS Control Board through the Interceptor board
-essentially pressing the keys corresponding to the selection.
Upon completion of the vend, the transaction is closed and
payment is secured from the user’s credit provider.
Display
The display is located just above the AMS Control Board on the
Control Box. It serves to inform and guide operators and service
technicians through the various programming and setup
functions. In service mode, it displays the active function and
parameter values. In vend mode it will display the selection
entered, the price of a selected item and the credit accumulated.
When the machine is idle it can display the time and a
customizable scrolling message.
Keypad
The keypad is located below the display in the Control Box. The
keypad is used to enter data during setup and servicing of the
vendor.
The Vagabond system uses a circuit, the “Interceptor”, to
electronically enter selections via the Control Board’s keypad
circuits.
Door Switch
The door switch is mounted on the lower left side of the door.
The AMS Control Board uses the door switch to allow entry into
and back from service mode to vend mode when the door is
closed.
TRAY RAILS
The rails are located inside the cabinet and are used to support
the trays. The rails are adjustable up and down in 1/2”
increments. (See
TRAY VERTICAL POSITIONS
on page 17.)

Vend Motors
Two types of motors may be used with this vendor. The
configuration of the machine will be different if all of one or
another is used, or if there is a mix. Sensit 3 (or simply
S3
)
software can be used to best advantage using motors designed
for homing (S3 motors), but it can be set to control motors
without the home switch feature (S2 motors). Motors may be
mixed throughout the machine, but each tray
must
have all
motors of the same type.
The vend motors are snapped into mounting holes on the back
of each tray. The motor is driven by 24 VDC through a harness
from the control board. (See
VENDOR PREPARATION and
INSTALLATION

on page 18
and
HELIX HOME POSITION
on page 19.)
Sensit 3 Vend Motors
The Sensit 3 (or simply S3) vend motors have a plastic case of
which the rear half has a microswitch mounted on it and the
counter-clockwise (CCW) version is blue. Motor coupling can be
used to vend wider items by using a CCW motor/helix and a
23007-01 motor (having a blue and gray case for CW rotation)
and CW helix. Use Tray Setup in Service Mode to couple the
motors together electronically causing the two helices to turn at
the same time.
Coupled motors will always be stopped when either one reaches
the home position. If one motor runs slightly faster, the slower
will then be individually driven to its home position in order to
