Introduction
The APi MasterMenu™ system is user friendly and provides a common look and feel across all menu items. The
system allows the user to move freely through the menus and provides ease of insertion, modification, and deletion of
operational parameters and data. In addition, the system provides the user with status and diagnostic messages to aid in
the use and service of the machine.
Operational Mode
The Operational mode provides the machine with the ability to vend products. The machine is in Operational Mode
whenever the main cabinet door of the machine is closed. Upon opening of the main cabinet door, the
machine will remain in Operational Mode until the e key is depressed at which time it will enter the Service Mode.
This allows for vends to occur while the main cabinet door of the machine is open and the user
has not yet entered Service Mode by depressing the
e key. This is referred to as Enhanced Operational Mode.
Enhanced Operational Mode differs from Operational Mode in that the Function keys and Payout keys are active. If any
key in either of these sets of keys is depressed, it will perform its function and return the machine to Enhanced
Operational Mode when complete.
The Service Menu provides access to all configurable items in the machine as well as retrieval of MIS information.The
Service Menus shall only be available when the machine is in Service mode.
Service Mode
Service Mode provides the ability to configure the machine. When the Control Module door is opened, the display
indicates “ENTER FOR MASTERMENU” if no errors have been logged, or “ERRORS-NN” in the case where errors exist
(where “NN” is the number of errors).The machine returns to Operational Mode whenever the main cabinet door is
closed.
