FREE VEND
Since the Vagabond system controls all selection entry, free
vend operation can only be controlled with that system. This
setting
must be
left at the default setting of “
N
” for no.
Press “1” to
VIEW / EDIT
and then to toggle between
Y
and
N
,
then press “#” to Save the setting and exit.
If you turn free vend on, the Display will briefly show “FREE
VEND IS ON” before returning to the menu.
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. AMS does not currently 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.
Press “1” to
VIEW / EDIT
and then to toggle between
Y
and
N

then press “#” to Save the setting and exit.
DATA LOGS
The user can review recorded data on vendor temperature,
power outages, and door openings. This data is sometimes
helpful in diagnosing problems with the vendor. These logs are
cleared whenever the software is changed, and once the
maximum number of entries is reached, the oldest entry will drop
from the list. There are some special situations on these logs –
please read the Notes indicated.
TEMPERATURE –
(
Note
: The Touchless machine has no
temperature controls or measurement device, so the
readings displayed will have no meaning.)
The temperature log contains temperature measurements
taken at half-hour intervals over the previous 48 hours.
When you enter this submenu, the Display will show you to
press “
1
” to move to the next ‘older’ reading or “
2
” to move
up to the next ‘more recent’ reading. After a brief delay, the
program will begin at the most recent reading (#1).
The reading number (1 through 96
NOTE
), the recorded
temperature and the date and time of the reading will be
displayed.
Press either “
1
” or “
2
” to step through the readings. Press
“
#
” to EXIT when you’ve finished.
POWER OUTAGE
– The power outage log shows power off and
on information. When you enter this submenu, the Display
will show you to press “
1
” to move to the next ‘older’ event or
“
2
” to move up to the next ‘more recent’ reading. After a
brief delay, the program will begin at the last power ON data
(#1).
The reading number (1 - 10
NOTE
), then whether this record
was for power ON or OFF, and the recorded temperature at
the time will be shown on the top line, with the date and time
of the reading displayed on the bottom line of the Display.
Press either “
1
” or “
2
” to step through the readings.
Press “
#
” to EXIT when you’ve finished.
DOOR SWITCH
– The door switch log records door openings
and closings. Display will show you to press “
1
” to move to
the next ‘older’ event or “
2
” to move up to the next ‘more
recent’ reading. After a brief delay, the program will begin at
the last door OPEN data (#1).
The reading number (1 - 10
NOTE
), then whether this record
was for door OPEN or CLOSED, and the recorded
temperature at the time will be shown on the top line, with
the date and time of the reading displayed on the bottom line
of the Display.
Press either “
1
” or “
2
” to step through the readings. Press
“
#
” to EXIT when you’ve finished.
NOTES: In a new machine, or right after a software upgrade,
temperature readings will not be taken for 30 minutes, so you
will not be able to enter the Temperature Menu.
Records will not be displayed if they haven’t been recorded yet –
so you will not have all 96 temperature readings until the new
board or software upgrade has been operating for a full 48 hours.
The temperature readings for an ambient (not chilled) snack
machine will be shown as 125°.
EnergySENSIT
The EnergySensit feature is a way of reducing energy
consumption. When enabled, EnergySensit predicts periods of
inactivity and allows the internal temperature of the vendor to rise
slightly – and the lighting turned off - to take advantage of these
inactive times.
This feature is not available in the Touchless vendor.
