FREE VEND PERIODS
During these periods, all drinks may be free vended, or, if required, a limited
selection of drinks may be free vended.
The drinks available during a timed free vend period are determined by the
"Set-up selection range".
Each active selection can be programmed to:-
a)
Timed free vend available.
b) Timed free vend not available.
The content of each selection Address for the above options will vary
dependant on the drink type. Refer to "Set-up Selection Range".
At the start of a free vend period, the processor will respond with an audible
tone of 1 second duration. If all active selections are being free vended, the
external display standby message will change to read FREE. If, however, any
selection is to remain as a pay vend, the external display standby messages
will not change.
DISCOUNT (SUPPLEMENTARY) PERIODS
If discount periods are required, the programming for the relevant timed periods
is identical to that for timed free vend periods. The value of the discount is then
to be programmed within Address 258.
JUG FACILITY/OPERATION – Not available on Single Choice Models
When active, (see Jug Facility programming) the jug facility can be used in 2
ways:-
1. Press the ‘Jug’ key followed by a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to
activate a 'free of charge' jug fill routine.
2. Pressing the ‘Jug’ key twice will activate a pay jug fill routine.
A maximum of six individual 4-digit PINs may be programmed within Addresses
238 to 243. Each PIN is individually audited for accounting purposes within
audit report No. 1. To safeguard PINs, should 3 consecutive incorrect PINs be
entered, the Jug key will become inactive for a 4-minute duration (PINs are not
required for the jug facility if the machine is set to permanent free vend, or
during a free vend period).
If required, a discount may be set-up for each drink selected during pay jug-fill
routine, addresses 244 to 249. The value set in Address 260 (Jug discount) will
be deducted from each vend requested.
See Flow Chart for jug fill operational routine and external display messages
displayed. See also ‘Jug Facilities’ in ‘Programming’.
