AUTOMATIC POWER SAVING FACILITIES
’ Power saving’ mode.
During ‘power saving’ mode, the water temperature is reduced to the Sleep
Temperature set in Address 116. This lower temperature is then maintained
until ‘power saving’ mode is terminated, i.e. the ‘boiler sleep’ signal is switched
off.
The objective of this mode is:
•
To reduce power consumption, and
•
To reduce lime scale formation.
There are two methods of initiating ‘power saving’ mode:–
a) PROGRAMMED WORKING DAY – Address 47
The VMC can be programmed with the known working shift of any particular
location by day, the shift start time and the duration. Upon the shift start time,
the operating temperature is raised to its normal setting. All machines leave
the factory with this facility programmed as inactive to accommodate locations,
which permanently operate for 24 hours. This may need to be altered to suit
particular locations.
b) AUTOMATIC POWER SAVING - Address 117
The VMC can be programmed with a delay time (in hours) after which, if the
machine has not been used, the VMC will switch into ‘power saving’ mode. All
machines that leave the factory have this facility programmed as inactive to
Accommodate 24hr a day sites.
The objective of automatic power saving is to account for periods of time when
perhaps the machine would normally be in use, but is not – for example Bank
Holidays or shut-down periods of particular locations.
To terminate either of the above ‘power saving’ modes, when set, the user has
simply to select a hot drink; the normal operating temperature will then be
resumed. The external display will countdown from 250 seconds after which
the machine will be ready to dispense hot drinks.
The automatic ‘power saving’ mode will also be terminated by the start time of
a programmed working day.
NOTE:
Normal operation of cold drink selections is not affected by the ‘power saving’
mode.
SET-UP FREE VEND/SUPPLEMENTARY DISCOUNT PERIODS –
Addresses 250 to 255
Up to six free vend OR six supplementary discount periods may be
programmed although the two are mutually exclusive, i.e. if any free vend
periods are programmed, the discount feature cannot be used, and vice versa.
