12.3 Alerts and LCD Messages
An alert occurs when the Unit detects a condition requiring user intervention such as an empty stock bin, etc. Alerts are
indicated by a buzzer sounding and an illuminated LED indicator. A corresponding message is displayed on the control
panel LCD. The amber stock LED may also light if the alert condition was caused by the Unit running out of stock.
An alert can be either soft or hard. Soft alerts require only that the condition (such as out of stock) be corrected to clear the
alert. Hard alerts require that the
RESET/EXIT
push-button be pressed after the condition (such as a stock jam) is
corrected.
