The Automated Beverage System (A.B.S.) is
an automated cold beverage dispenser for
drive-thru applications. When a cold beverage
is ordered from the P.O.S. register, the A.B.S.
will automatically drop the cup, fill it with ice,
and dispense the correct amount and type of
any syrup-based cold beverage. The finished
drink is then moved by the conveyor to the
pick-up station and the drink description is
displayed on the panel.
The Automated Beverage System has three
modes of operation:
• Automatic Mode
In automatic mode, the customer places an
order at the drive-thru and the A.B.S.
automatically produces the order. If extra or
no ice drinks are ordered, they are entered
from the P.O.S. as a “grill order” and the
A.B.S.automatically produces the drink as
ordered.
• Semiautomatic Mode
While in automatic mode, the operator
presses the desired cup size button, the desired
flavor button and ENTER, then the drink is
dispensed. If extra ice or no ice is required,
the EXTRA ICE or NO ICE button is pressed
after the flavor button has been pressed before
ENTER, then the drink is dispensed.
• Manual Mode
A drink can also be dispensed in manual
mode. Remove the conveyor. Enter the manual mode by pressing the Manual/Auto button.
(Don’t pull cups from A.B.S. Turret damage
may occur to cup tubes.) Locate a sleeve of
cups and remove a cup. Hold the cup under
the ice chute, press EXTRA ICE and ice is
dispensed. Hold the cup under the nozzle,
press and hold the desired flavor button, and
the drink is dispensed. Reinstall the conveyor
and return the A.B.S. unit to normal operation.
SAFETY
To avoid possible fatal electrical shock or serious injury to the Operator, it is highly recommended that a G.F.I. (ground fault circuit
interrupter) be installed in the electrical power
circuits to the unit.
Always disconnect power before cleaning or
servicing the unit. Do not use metal scrapers,
sharp objects or abrasives on the ice storage
hopper, top cover and the agitator disk, as
damage may result.
Always disconnect CO2 or air pressure to the
unit before cleaning or servicing the grabber
arm or ice chute. A disconnect switch for the
ice gate is located on the control box behind
the cup lid holder panel.
Insure that the unit is in manual mode before
removing or replacing the conveyor assembly
to avoid pinching fingers in the drain area.
The dispenser is very top heavy. To prevent
serious injury, exercise caution when moving
or setting the dispenser in place.
The cup turret rotates to move the proper size
cut to the extract position.
Automatic Operation
Cup Grabber Rises & Closes
The cup grabber is lifted by a pneumatic cylinder up to the cup. The travel is sensed by the
full travel sensor. If full height is reached, a
pneumatic cylinder closes the grabber arms
against the cup. A sensor detects if cups are
available.
Grabber Lowers & Opens
The cup grabber lowers, pulling the cup from
the cup tube and then the arms open dropping
the cup into the conveyor.
If the grabber should slide off a cup, it would
be detected by the cup sensor.
Sensors check for a cup in position “A.” If the
sensor is clear, the conveyor rotates clockwise
to move the cup to the ice chute.
This is based on only one drink being ordered.
If a second drink had been ordered, the conveyor would have moved only one position
and the second cup would have been extracted
and dropped into the conveyor. The two cups
would then be moved clockwise until the first
cup reaches the ice fill port.
Ice Portion Is Dispensed
The ice gate is opened by a pneumatic cylinder for the time needed to dispense the
selected ice portion. Correct operation is
insured by the ice gate full travel sensor.
14
The agitator continues to operate for the set
refill time to refill the ice chute.
Sensors check for a cup in position A. If the
sensor is clear, the conveyor moves the cup to
the beverage fill point. The valve opens to dispense the desired syrup and water in the
desired portions into the cup.
Automatic Operation
Beverage Dispensed
The computer sends the drink portion of the
order to the A.B.S. where the information is
interpreted and the drink is dispensed.
If the drink requires a top-off, the initial portion will be dispensed. After a delay, the balance of the drink will be dispensed.
Sequence of pressing the cup size, flavor, and
special ice buttons is not important. At any
time, pressing any button will change the
selection of the drink to be dispensed. When
the correct order is displayed, press ENTER
and the drink will be dispensed.

ABS Float Dispensing
ABS Float Dispensing allows for the ABS to
dispense drinks, without ice, that are only a
pre-set portion full. Ice cream can then be
added after the dispense, to make it into a
“FLOAT” drink.
Enter the manual mode by pressing the Manual/AUTO button.
Manual Operation
Remove The Conveyor
To dispense a drink in the manual mode,
remove the conveyor. This is done by removing the thumb screws holding it in place and
lifting the conveyor up.
Never Remove Cups From Cup Turret
Assembly
Manually pulling cups from the cup tubes can
permanently damage the retainers.
Stock cup sleeves near the unit when in manual mode.
Reinstall the cup conveyor by aligning the
drive pin on the left side of the conveyor
assembly so that the conveyor seats properly.
The conveyor drive pin must engage the drive
socket on the gear box. When installing the
conveyor, it may be necessary to move the
conveyor manually to allow the drive pin to
insert into the drive socket.
Tighten the thumb screws on the cover.
Manual Operation
Clear The P.O.S. Order Buffer
If orders are on the screen, the P.O.S. buffer
must be cleared. To clear the P.O.S. buffer, the
A.B.S. unit must be in the MANUAL mode.
Each button on the Touch Panel is described
in detail in the Touch Panel Diagram on page
24.
Whenever any button is pressed, there is an
audible Beep. If the button is incorrect and
cannot function, there will be a triple Beep
indicating an error.

A.B.S. unit Major Subsystems Operation —
Cup Extractor
Cup Grabber Assembly
The cup grabber consists of two cup grabber
arms actuated by a pneumatic cylinder, an elevating mechanism operated by a pneumatic
cylinder, two guide rods, a Travel sensor and a
Cup Empty sensor.
Cup Grabber Cycle
When the correct cup is aligned at the cup
grabber, a pneumatic cylinder lifts the cup
grabber to the cup. A sensor detects the full
travel of the grabber during the lift motion. A
signal is sent that the grabber is in position
and then a pneumatic cylinder closes the grabber arms. If the arms close fully indicating
“No Cup,” the control system will attempt to
pull a cup from a second tube of same size cup
if present. If no cup is available a “SOLD
OUT” message will be displayed. If a cup is
available the cup grabber will be lowered and
the cup pulled from the cup tube.
If the grabber arms close on a cup but during
the lowering of the cup it falls incorrectly, a
“CUP JAM” message will be displayed.
When the grabber successfully pulls a cup
from the cup tube and is completely lowered,
the grabber arms will open, dropping the cup
into the conveyor. The conveyor will then
advance and continue to make drinks.
The conveyor contains nine equally spaced
cup holders. Each cup holder contains a
ceramic magnet. A sensor located in the drip
pan at the cup grabber detects the cup holders
and thereby controls the movement of the
conveyor and the position of the cup holders.
Note: The conveyor will not operate if there is
a cup or any obstruction in the cup holder at
Cup Serve
Point “A.”
Conveyor
Cup Rest
The cup rest must be installed with the oval
rails up and with the “Cup Positioning
Bracket” must be at the rear of the drip tray.
Check for the presence of a cup locator spring.
Water Deflector
Check to see water deflector is installed properly.
The cup positioning bracket, located on the
cup rest, contains a spring that is positioned so
it touches the cup in the cup holder as the cup
moves past the spring. This moves the cup to
the rear (based on the direction of movement)
of the cup holder. This insures that all cups
will be in the same position for dispensing
regardless of its size.
Cup In Position “A”
Part of the conveyor assembly is the cup in
position “A” sensor. This senses if a cup is in
the last conveyor position to prevent full cups
from traveling into the grabber mechanism.
Reinstall Conveyor
Align the drive pin on the left side of the conveyor assembly so that the conveyor seats
properly. The conveyor drive pin must engage
the drive socket on the gear box. When installing the conveyor, it may be necessary to move
the conveyor manually to allow the drive pin
to insert into the drive socket.
The ice gate is a pneumatically operated
“gate” that is controlled by the Beverage
Interface Board. The time the gate is open is
very precise and determines the portion of ice
dispensed. The gate opens and closes under
pneumatic pressure. The gas is controlled by
solenoids.
Ice Dispenser
Ice Dispensing Cycle
The ice gate opens; the agitator turns to refill
the ice chute and to maintain ice on the coldplate; the ice gate closes; the agitator continues to fill the ice chute for the set period of
time.
Low Ice – Refill Soon
The LOW ICE – REFILL SOON condition is
sensed by the A.B.S. through a temperature
sensor located in the ice bin.
The LOW ICE – REFILL SOON alarm
sounds when the bin has about 40 drinks left
in its capacity. It will resound with every tenth
drink made, until refilled.

Auto-Agitate
Ice from the bin is used for the coldplate.
If the A.B.S. unit is idle for a period (programmed during setup), the agitator will agitate for a preset period to maintain ice on the
coldplate.
The ice bin has a sensor that detects a low ice
condition and displays a warning.
Ice Chute
The ice chute directs the ice into the cup. It
can be removed for cleaning or replacement.
Access to the ice chute is obtained by removing the cup lid rack.

follow procedures in reverse order.
The dispensing valve is located behind the
touch panel and is made up of five blocks,
each containing two solenoids, two flow controls, and two shutoffs. The blocks are permanently manifolded together to supply a single
outlet nozzle. (The top view is depicted.)
Beverage Dispenser
Beverage Dispensing
The valve opens to dispense the desired syrup
and water in the desired portions into the cup.
If foaming is an issue, the service agent can
program a top-off. The initial portion will be
dispensed. After a delay, the balance of the
drink will be dispensed.
Remove the ice bin lid and fill with ice cubes
to the top of the bin. Do not overfill. The bin
cover must be able to rest securely on the top
of the bin.
Place the unit in the manual mode – press the
Cup Size button corresponding to the cup tube
you wish to fill. The turret will rotate until the
correct turret face is forward, allowing easy
filling of the cup tube.
Filling Cup Tubes
Remove top cup tube cover and hold under
the cup tube to catch cups and prevent them
from falling through.
