2.1.4.1 Settings
The machine control system is pre-arranged for the connection
in a bank of vending machines using special kits.
This permits the use of a single payment system for more ma-
chines.
In the event of installation in a bank of machines, it can be
configured a “Master”, i.e. having control over the second ma-
chine, or as “Slave”, i.e. leaving the control to the other machine.
To be able to use this function there must be a numeric keypad
within the bank of machines.
There is the option of installing a numeric keypad in the ma-
chine for managing the slave machines without keypad and dis-
play.
After any changes it will be necessary to switch off the machine
and switch it on again.
The master/slave function is not enabled by default.
2.1.4.2 Slave Price Holding
To enable the function, it is necessary to define which machine is
master and which one is slave in the software of the master
machine and of the slave machine.
If an Executive payment system in
“Price Holding”
mode is
set in the master machine, the information must be set also in
the software of the slave machine.
The payment system of the slave machine must always be de-
fined as “Validator”.
In the event of failed electrical connection, both machines will
display the message “Failed communication”.
2.1.4.3 Return of virtual price
A combined selection is intended as the association of two se-
lections, one from the Kikko and one from the Snakky, to the
same number (80 to 89) sold at a single price.
Since a numeric keypad is required for setting and controlling
the combined selections, the relevant menu is
included only
in the software of the Snakky.
Combined selections can be used either with the Snakky as mas-
ter and Kikko as slave (recommended configuration) or vice versa.
If one of the two selections is not available, the combined selec-
tion is not dispensed. If the immediate change option is not acti-
vated on the master machine, it might be possible that the first
selection fails. In this case the entire amount is returned. If the
second selection fails, it will be possible to decide whether to
keep or return the entire amount by activating/deactivating the
“Virtual price return”
option.
