Troubleshooting
Dispenser is blue / green / blank after power up
This is normal. The lights will remain in this mode until the Bartendro is
booted and establishes a proper connection with the dispensers (which
takes about one minute). If after a minute the lights don’t begin fading
in and out, make sure the SD card is inserted properly.
Dispenser is flashing red
The dispenser has been over-worked and has been shut off to prevent
damage. Check tubes for blockage and press the “reset” button
under
Admin > dispensers
when they look clear. This will restore the
dispenser to proper operation.
Air bubbles in tubes, or dripping
This is a sealing issue. You can try tightening the compression nuts
first to see if they were just too loose. There should only be one or
two threads visible. If that doesn’t fix it, then the tubing might not be
protruding all the way through the compression nut (see page 5 for
reference).
Main Menu doesn’t allow me to pour a drink
Check to make sure there are ingredients selected and saved under
Admin > dispensers
. Make sure either level sensor tubes are properly
connected and submerged in liquid, or that liquid level sensors are
disabled in
Admin > options
. Also, make sure there is a drink which can
be made with your selected ingredients and that the “List this drink in
the menu” option is selected in
Admin > drinks
for that drink.
