4. Delayed Stop

The user can program a delayed stop of up to one second to
allow a motor to continue running after the product has been
dispensed.

Note:

this feature will only work with the

1-Sensit

motor setting.

ENTER

SELECTION

– Enter the number of the

selection to be delayed, enter

to edit, then enter the

time in tenths of a second. The decimal point is placed
automatically.

Example: Entering

will program a delay of 0.8

seconds.

The user can save the programmed delay to the selection, the
entire tray, or all selections in the vendor. Linked selections will
use the delay programmed for the master selection.

5. Letter / Number

Allows use of either keyboard format.

The control board/software default is for the NUMERIC, 12-key
keypad and this setting

must always

be used in the Touchless

Vendor.

6. Configure Motors

Configure Motors moves each switched motor to the home
position (moving the motor only if it is not at home) in addition to
detecting connected motors. Since the vendor will not vend from
a given helix when the motor is missing, jammed or has home
switch problems

, this selection MUST BE RUN after any

change in the arrangement and/or the number of motors.

The configuration of connected motors is stored in memory. If a
configured motor is later found to be missing during a vend, an
error message will be generated in service mode to alert the
service person that the motor is disconnected. (Motors cannot be
auto-configured as in earlier Sensit 2 systems.)

7. Coupled Motors

Configurations to vend extra wide product can be made by using
the coupled-motors feature (See

MERCHANDISER

CONFIGURATIONS

on page 4). The coupled motor feature

works by coupling together a set of two motors. One motor turns
counter-clockwise, and the other motor must turn clockwise –
corresponding CW and CCW helices must be used as well. Both
motors turn for the same length of time. Trays may have multiple
coupled motors.

1. From the Tray Setup menu, press “7”, then enter

the first selection to couple (for example 204).

2. The Display will change to “ENTIRE TRAY ?” and

prompt you for a YES (1) or NO (2) entry.

Choose ‘YES’ if you intend to couple all of the
motor pairs on a Tray -you will be prompted to
enter the Tray number and when you do all of
the motor pairs on that tray will be coupled.
Example: 100 and 101, 102 and 103, 104 and
105, etc.

Choose ‘NO’ if you want to couple only
selected motors on a tray -continue as
described in the following paragraphs.

3. Press “9” to edit, then enter the

column

number of

the second motor to couple. For this example, press
“05” to couple selections 204 and 205. The second
column could also be 6 or 7 for this set. In this
example, the display will read “COUPLE 205,204”.

4. Press the “*” to save these selections and move to

the next selection. When reviewing current
settings, the “*” button is pressed the display will
move to the next selection. Entering the desired
selection number will also take you to another
selection.

Press “0” to clear coupled motor sets from the control board. The
display will read “XXX: COUPLE OFF”.

To return to Tray Setup, press the “#” key at any time.

The tray numbers on the front of the tray should be changed to
suit.

The Coupled Motor feature will not work with Sensit 2 motors.

Note:

The selections created by the motor configuration

must

match the planogram that is entered into the Vagabond system.
