Troubleshooting
Dispenser is blue / green / blank after power up
This is normal. The lights will remain in this mode until proper
communication with Bartendro establishes a proper connection with
the Dispenser(s) (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 shot
Check to make sure there is an ingredient selected and saved under
Admin > dispensers
. Also, make sure liquid level sensors are disabled
in
Admin > options.
