Automated Beverage System
INTRODUCTION
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
resses 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
T o 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 casters
that originally come with the unit should be
removed and replaced with the legs provided
in the installation kit to provide stability.

Cup Turret Rotates
After the photo sensor checks for cup too high
condition, the cup turret rotates to move the
proper size cup 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.

Automated Beverage System
Automatic Operation
Conveyor Operates
Sensors check for cup too high and a cup in
position “A.” If these are 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.

The agitator continues to operate for the set
refill time to refill the ice chute.

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.
