Each drum is monitored by a device which counts the
sectors with sold products, so that the empty drums are
identified, as well as allowing or preventing the rotation by
means of a magnet.
LOADING
With the door open
A special switch (see Fig. 4) signals to the control system
that the door is open.
The loading buttons are activated and product vending is
disabled.
When pressing a loading button, the corresponding drum
rotates, to allow refilling, until the button is released.
As soon as it is operated, the drum is considered com-
pletely full and the counter of number of days to the expiry
date for that drum is reset.
With the door closed
In order to avoid a temperature increase inside the refrig-
erated box, the products can be loaded through the dis-
pensing sliders.
The machine is preset for loading with the door closed
(release of a single slider) by opening the payment system
compartment door; the number of empty sectors is indi-
cated on the price display of each drum.
When pressing the selection button, the first empty/ex-
pired sector is presented and the slider opens so that the
product can be inserted.
Then, when pressing the selection button again, the next
sector is presented for filling or the slider closes if the drum
is full.
Loading operations for a disk can be interrupted by press-
ing the button of another selection.
AUTO-CONFIGURATION
If the machine is disconnected from the mains power
supply by unplugging the cable or using the main switch
(see Fig. 20), when restarting the machine will go through
an auto-configuration cycle.
The drums will be rotated at least a full turn, then the
number of detected compartments for each drum and the
position of the home point magnet will be stored.

Counting is by means of a lever, operated by the passage
of partitions.
A sensor detects the passage of a magnet, located on the
edge of each drum, identifying the home point.
