Basic Set Up Steps
1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Adjust the scrolling price tabs on the
shelves.
3. Set prices and options on control board.
4. Set Clock.
5. Load machine adjust spacers or spirals
as needed.
6. Install product pushers as needed.
7. Add coins to coin mechanism.
8. Coin test.
9. Bill test if applicable.
10. Install lock cylinder if needed.
Loading Snack Shelves
Open the main door to its full open position. While
pushing down on the plastic lock lever located on
the right side of the shelf, grasp the shelf under
both front corners (see Figure 1). Lift the front of
the shelf slightly and pull forward until the shelf
reaches its stop. On shelves 1 through 4 the
shelves tilt down (do not drop) to make loading
easier. A new feature in the Fusion, the bottom 2
shelves do not tilt for easier loading. Only one
product shelf should be in the loading position at
any time. When returning a shelf, be sure the shelf
is in its full home or vend position. Begin loading
with the top shelf. Move it into the loading position.
The height spacing for items is greatest in this
shelf and the tallest bagged items should be
placed there. Soft items, such as pastry, pies,
etc., should be placed in the lowest snack shelf,
making the drop distance as short as possible.
IMPORTANT: Product must not be forced into the
spiral spaces it should fit freely. If a product fits
tightly, use a larger pitch spiral. The bottom of the
product should be placed on top of the spiral wire
that rests on the shelf surface (see Figure 2). The
width of the product must be greater than the
diameter of the snack spiral. If it is smaller, the
product may fall through when it is in the front,
ready to vend position.

Installation
Adjusting the Stopping Position of the Spiral
One primary difference that distinguishes the
Fusion motor from previous motors is an eight
sided star at the drive hub of the motor. This
permits the stopping position of the spiral to be
customized by the operator to ensure the best
possible delivery of each product. To change the
stopping position of the spiral, remove the spiral
lock from the motor by pinching the shaft of the
spiral lock from the back side of the motor and
pulling forward on the front side of the spiral lock.
The spiral lock can be reinstalled in any of eight
different positions by turning the spiral lock to the
position desired and pushing the shaft of the spiral
lock through the eight sided star at the drive hub of
the motor.
Removal/Replacement of Spiral
Right Hand Spirals: Grasp the front of the spiral
and turn it clockwise. Lift the spiral up and off of
the spiral lock. When replacing a spiral attach it
around the tab on the spiral lock and turn the spiral
counterclockwise to lock it in place (see figure 3).
Pull lightly on the front of the spiral to ensure it is
locked in place.
Left Hand Spirals: Grasp the front of the spiral
and turn it counter clockwise. Lift the spiral up and
off of the spiral lock. When replacing a spiral
attaché it around the tab on the spiral lock and turn
the spiral clockwise to lock it in place. Pull lightly
on
the front of the spiral to ensure it is locked in place.
Product Spacers - 5 Selection Shelf
A product spacer is used to reduce the width of the
product area. This feature should be used on any
5-selection single spiral snack shelf where the
product width is 4" or less. Spacers should fit
within 1/8" of the product but should not fit tight
against the product. There are three positions in
each snack space where these spacers can be
placed. To install the spacer, align the lock ears
(on the lower edge of the spacer) with one of the
three sets of slots (one front and one rear). (see
Figure 4.) Push the spacer to the rear to allow the
ears to enter the slots, then allow the spacer to
move forward. Be sure the ears are in the same
set of slots, front and rear (see Figure 4).
Continue loading all spirals; adjust spacers where
needed in the top shelf. Return the top shelf to the
vend position and follow this procedure to load the
remainder of the large spiral shelves.
Figure 3: Removing and installing spiral.
GPL 6500 V2.0 0108 1.05
Installation
Loading Main Product Candy Shelves
The 10-selection (candy type) shelves are loaded
similarly to the 5-selection shelves except that the
bottom of the product sits on the shelf in front of
the spiral wire (see Figure 5). These products
must also fit properly, and the product should fit
freely: do not force product into spiral.
Product Spacers-10 Selection Shelf
The 10-selection shelves are equipped with a product
spacer (see Figure 6) that can be pivoted from the
right side of every other product space. These
spacers should be pivoted out to hold the product
upright, but not tight against the product. Leave about
1/8" clearance between the spacer and the product.
Figure 5: Placement of product on candy
shelves and front end position of spiral.
GPL 6500 V2.0 0108 1.06

positioned to hold candy upright.
Installation
Product Pushers
Included with the machine are enough pushers for
you to install a pusher on each candy spiral. This
plastic part is designed to push the top of the
product forward while it is vending, helping it fall
from the shelf. It can also be used with products
that have the wrapper end flap on the outside of
the package. In this case, the pusher prevents
these products from hanging on the spiral by
spreading the flap. The pusher should be installed
at approximately the 1 o’clock position on the
spiral with the tab extending forward (see Figure
7). Locate the pusher in its proper position, hold it
against the spiral wire and push the semi-circular
part around the spiral wire. Black pushers
(#440215) are used on left hand spirals and white
pushers (#44014-1) are used on right hand spirals.
Black pushers are used on left hand spirals Note:
Not every selection spiral will need a product
pusher. (Example - Box Items.)
Figure 8: Fold bagged items bottom edge
forward and up.
Figure 7: Location of product pusher on
spiral.
Bagged or Boxed Items
Vending small bagged items in the 10-selection
shelves if not loaded properly could be a problem.
The sealed edge of the bag may get under the
spiral wire causing the product to hang up after it
has been vended. It is recommended that the
lower edge of these types of product be folded
forward and up (see Figure 8) next to the product
before inserting into the spiral space. It is also
recommended to use a slightly larger count spiral
for bagged items because of the product settling to
the bottom of the package.
GPL 6500 V2.0 0108 1.07
Cigarette Vending From the Fusion
Cigarettes can be vended from the candy shelves
using a (15 capacity) spiral for the soft pack regular,
king, 100 MM or 120 MM packs. A (12 capacity)
spiral should be used for (box) packs.
Lock Product Shelves
When all of the product has been loaded be sure all
shelves are returned to their vend position behind the
front roller guide.
Scrolling Price Tabs
Adjust the new scrolling price roles for each selection
in the machine.
Installation
Cleaning
The Fusion will do the best merchandising job for
you if it is kept clean. The display window can be
cleaned with any good glass cleaner. The exterior
and interior surfaces should be cleaned with warm
water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and
dry all surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not use any cleaners containing
silicon as this could cause electrical failures.
The main product shelves can be best cleaned
with the spirals and product spacers removed.
Refer to page 1.05 for removal of spirals and
removal of the product spacers.
Clean the acceptor on the coin mechanism or bill
validator frequently as accumulated dirt in this area
can cause poor acceptance on coins or bills.
Follow recommended cleaning procedures as
described by the coin mechanism or bill validator
manufacturer.
GPL 6500 V2.0 0108 1.08
Optional Equipment
Dual Spiral Motors (Part # 360240)
Snack shelves can be set up to have dual spiral
selections. The dual spirals will help vend specialty
items better. These motors are available through
aftermarket parts only.
Half Cycle Motors (Part #360241)
The half cycle motors are used to vend thin items.
This motor is used with a product divider that is
positioned down the center of the coil. The product
is placed on both the left and right hand side of the
coil. When the motor turns, it turns only 180 degrees
(half revolution) rather than 360 degrees (full
revolution). These motors are available through
aftermarket parts only.
Touch Memory Harness
The touch memory harness (Part # 16800013) is
used in conjunction with the touch memory button
(CHIP) available separately (Part # 17500003). This
harness will allow you to download all settable data,
with the exception of the time and date. Once CHIP
is programmed you can take it to as many machines
as you wish to upload the information stored in
CHIP. CHIP can be programmed from a machine
that is already set up and then used to set up other
machines that are to be programmed identically. For
more information see Mode 30.
GPL 6500 V2.0 0108 2.01
Refrigeration
The Refrigeration Unit
The Refrigeration Unit is comprised of a 1/3
horsepower compressor and is a hermetically
sealed system (no service ports). The refrigerant
used in the refrigeration system is 134a and the
charge is 9.8 ounces. The refrigeration system is
controlled by the Refrigeration Driver Board. The
Fusion glassfront merchandisers are designed to
operate at ambient temperature of 55ºF to 100ºF
(13ºC to 38ºC).
Refrigeration Processing:
The Refrigeration Driver Board (P/N 80492751)
maintains the temperature as measured by the solid
state temperature sensor. The refrigeration unit will
be turned on at the Set Temperature plus 3ºF and
will be turned off at the Set Temperature minus 3ºF.
A minimum of 1 minute is required for both the
cycle-on and cycle-off time of the relay. This insures
the compressor is not cycled on and or off too
rapidly.
Defrost Cycle
Independent of the temperature, the relay, therefore
the compressor, will be turned off for a defrost cycle
after 120 minutes of compressor run time. The
defrost cycle will last a minimum of five minutes or
until the temperature of the cabinet exceeds 45°F
(5.5°C). The power for the evaporator fan motor is
constant and continues to operate during a defrost
cycle.
Settable Temperature Range
The temperature for this machine when dispensing
perishable food is set automatically to 36°F when
“Food” is chosen as the machine type. When selling
non-perishable products and the machine type is set
to “Zone”, the settable temperature range is from
37ºF to 80ºF (3ºC to 27ºC). The recommended
temperature when the machine is equipped with
bottle shelves is 42°F (5.5°C). When using the
machine to dispense typical candy and
confectionary products, the recommended
temperature is 65ºF (18ºC).
Setting the Temperature
Refer to Service Mode 40 for the procedure to set
the temperature.
Checking the Current Temperature
The temperature inside the machine can be viewed
from the outside by pressing and holding the * key
for degrees °F or # key for degrees °C.
Refrigeration Driver Board (RDB)
The Refrigeration Driver Board (P/N 80492751) is
located inside the power supply box. The RDB has
the capability to maintain two temperatures, however
in this design, only the lower zone is monitored.
Power and communication to operate the RDB is
supplied via the MDB connector on the logic board
using a communications cable. Power to operate the
refrigeration unit is supplied to the Refrigeration
Driver Board immediately after the EMI filter and is
switched on and off by a relay on the Refrigeration
Driver Board.
Temperature Probe
The temperature probe (P/N 13600001-01) is
located in the cabinet below the bottom shelf on the
right hand side, just below the evaporator coil. The
probe is connected to JP3 on the RDB. An
unplugged or open temperature sensor probe will
display as -9ºF (-9ºC). A shorted probe will display
as 99ºF (37ºC).
For complete pin-outs of the Refrigeration Driver
Board, see the Troubleshooting Section of this
manual.
Health Control Check
Use this procedure to verify proper health control
operation.
1. Setup temperature. Note: Changing the setting
in Mode 40 to food will insure this is done
correctly.
2. Turn on Health Shutdown in Mode 42, be sure
to set all selections in the machine to on by
pressing 1** in the selection field.
3. Unplug the door switch from P2 of the logic
board to simulate door closure.
4. Close the door and allow the temperature in the
machine to stabilize. If the machine was at
temperature this will take a minute or less.
5. Once temperature has stabilized, open the door
and power down the machine. Note: the
evaporator fan will continue to run.
6. Leave the door open and let the machine warm
up for 6 minutes. Note: Do not leave the
machine powered down for more than 10
minutes.
7. Power the machine back up and within 3
minutes the machine should go into health
shutdown. The display should now show
“Selection 1XX Out of Service”.
8. Reset the temperature setting in Mode 40, if it
was changed in step 1.
9. Reset the Health Shutdown settings in Mode 42,
if they were changed in step 2.
10. Plug in the door switch and clear the error.

Components
Power Supply
The 120 VAC power cord from the wall outlet enters
the machine and plugs into the bottom of the main
junction box located on right side of the cabinet. The
junction box contains the power distribution
components, consisting of the control board, filter,
circuit breakers and the transformer. The voltage
outputs from the junction box to the board are 24
volts and 8 volts and plugs into the (P3 position) of
the Logic Board.
Lighting System
The Fusion machine features a new low voltage
LED color corrected lighting system. This system
consists of a 9.4VDC regulating power supply and
12 – 1 Watt LED’s producing 60 lumens of light.
Flexi Shelves
The Fusion machine features the new Flexi Shelf.
With the new Flexi Shelf all of the selection dividers
are removable allowing the shelf to be configured to
vend wide products such as submarine type
sandwiches. There are either five or six main
product shelves per machine. Each selection has its
own motor mounted to the back of the shelf. Every
shelf has its own harness and plug for connecting to
the remainder of the circuit through the cabinet
receptacle, located in the rear right of the cabinet. It
is possible to exchange a five selection shelf with a
ten selection shelf or visa versa. The tracks in the
back of the cabinet permit the vertical movement of
the shelves in one inch intervals. To do this the
shelf should be removed and the cabinet back

right & left shelf tracks.
Note
♦When exchanging the shelves, you will not need
any parts but you will have to reprogram the

Pairable Motor Shelf
The Fusion models permit the pairing of two
sequential motors on a shelf. This feature allows 2
candy selections to be converted to a dual spiral
snack selection, by removing the product divider
between the spirals, and pairing the motors
electronically. See Mode 23 for additional
information on pairing motors.
Bottle Shelf
The Fusion model includes up to 3 – 8 select bottle
shelves. The bottle shelves can be raised or lowered
to vend up to 24 ounce bottles.
Delivery Bin
This is located below the display window on the door
and is mechanically operated.

Vend Motors
The vend motors used in the Fusion machines have
been specifically developed to operate with the GPL
Control System. One primary difference that
distinguishes the new motors from previous motors
is the presence of an eight sided star at the drive
hub of the motor. This permits the stopping position
of the spiral to be customized by the operator to
ensure the best possible delivery of product. Motors
are of the fast trac style, with all electronics required
to correctly operate the motor contained inside the
gear case or the motor housing and no external
control board. Each of the motors used with the
Fusion Control System will have two terminals. The
two terminals continue to be used to identify the
shelf and column (selection) to be vended.
Each motor requires two wires to operate correctly.
These wires are: shelf common, and selection.
Each selection on a shelf will have the same
common shelf wire - all shelf harness use wire #12
as a shelf common. This corresponds to the
selected shelf wire in the cabinet harness. The
terminal for the shelf common in the harness is the
smaller of the two.
Selection numbers are assigned from left to right,
starting with selection 0. Each selections number
corresponds to the number of the wire for that
selection.
Selection numbers in the Fusion Machines support a
three digit selection system. The first digit indicates
the cabinet number, the second digit is the shelf
number and the third digit is the selection number on
that shelf.

Logic Board & Display
The control board contains all of the decisionmaking and display controls. All peripherals plug
into the controller. The all new Fusion display
contains 2 display lines each with a maximum of 20
characters. All Credit, Price, Diagnostic Information
and Options (In Service Mode) will be displayed on
this display.
A new feature added to the Fusion Machines is a
real time clock. This addition will allow the
programming of timed events such as discounts and
shutdowns (see the programming guide in this
manual for more details).
Keypad
The Selection keypad is located on the door directly
below the display. The Selection Keypad is used as
an input source for settable data while in the Service
Mode. The keypad is only active for service
functions when the door is open, so even in the
event of vandalism to the control bezel; no access to
the control functions is permitted.
Coin Mechs, Validators and Card Readers
The Fusion Machines support MDB protocol only.
The maximum number of MDB payment peripherals
is one coin mechanism, one bill validator, and two
card reader systems.
The Fusion will automatically determine at power up
which peripherals are connected and configure itself
accordingly.
The premise behind the development and
introduction of PosiVend (PV) was to improve
customer (machine user) satisfaction by
guaranteeing delivery of the product they have
selected. In addition to increasing customer
satisfaction and loyalty, the guaranteed delivery of
products reduces operational costs and increases
efficiencies, therefore making the operator more
profitable.
An average service call costs between $65 and
$100. PosiVend reduces these costly calls for
product hang-ups and missed vends. PosiVend
also eliminates the time and costs associated with
credit vouchers due to missed vends. Lastly,
operators may risk losing an account if product vend
failure occurs on a repeated basis.
While careful and consistent loading of products
helps to ensure a positive vend, PosiVend provides
a positive vend solution that takes these variables
out of the equation, and works efficiently and
effectively to deliver the product.
Function
The GPL PosiVend Guaranteed Delivery System
consists of a series of 12 infrared pulsed beams that
create a web of interlaced beams just above the
opening of the delivery bin in our glass front
machines. When any one of these infrared beams is
broken by a product falling into the delivery bin
during a vend, the PV sensors transmit a signal to
the Logic Control Board that the vend occurred
successfully, and payment is collected, and change
is returned, if required. If the product is not delivered
successfully, the credit reappears on the display and
allows the customer to choose an alternate item, or
press the coin return to receive their money back.
Modes of operation
The PV system has three selectable modes of
operation: Off, Home, or Drop. The operator has
the option to choose any of these four modes, and
once a mode of operation is selected, choose which
selections in the machine will be monitored by PV.
Off Mode
When PV is set to Off, the PV system is disabled,
and all selections in the machine will run one time
only.
Home Mode
When PV is set toHome, and the customer makes
their selection, the selection motor begins its cycle,
and the PV sensor begins watching for a product to
fall into the bin. The selection motor makes a
complete revolution, returns to the home position,
and pauses for 2 seconds. If no product is detected,
the selection motor then runs a second
complete cycle attempting to deliver the product.
The motor pauses a second time, and if no product
was detected during this vend, the motor runs a third
complete cycle. If a product is delivered during any
of the three cycles, the purchase is completed, and
any change required is returned. If no product was
delivered during any of the three cycles, an error is
created (see PosiVend Errors below). The credit
reappears on the display and allows the customer to
choose an alternate item, or press the coin return to
receive their money back.
Drop Mode
When PV is set to Drop and the customer makes
their selection, the selection motor begins its cycle,
while PV sensor begins watching for a product to fall
into the bin. The selection motor makes a complete
revolution, returns to the home position, and pauses
for 2 seconds. If no product is detected, the
selection motor begins a second cycle, and if a
product interrupts the sensor beams, the selection motorstops immediately, leaving the motor in an
off home position. If no product is detected during
the second cycle, the motor runs a third cycle, and
stops immediately upon detection of the product
dropping in the bin. If the motor is stopped in an “off
home”, position, the next time this item is vended,
the motor returns to home and pauses. If a product
is detected during this partial cycle, the motor
remains at home, and the transaction is complete. If
no product is detected, the motor begins a second
cycle, and if a product falling into the bin is detected,
the motor stops immediately, and the transaction is
complete. If no product was delivered during any of
the three cycles, an error is created (see PosiVend
Errors below). The credit reappears on the display
and allows the customer to choose an alternate
item, or press the coin return to receive their money
back.
PosiVend Errors
One of the critical new features of PosiVend is an
increase in the number and type of diagnostic errors
available to the technician to assist them in
determining the cause of a PV error. The table
below explains each of these available errors. More
detailed information on these errors is available in
the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
GPL 6500 V2.0 0108 3.04
PosiVend™
POSIVEND XXX FAILED
After any selection motor (XXX) runs three times
without PV detecting a product, an error is posted,
and that selection is disabled from vending. If three
different selections are disabled with PV errors, then
a PV Disabled error is posted, and PV for the entire
machine is disabled, and all selections operate as if
PV was set to Off. For machines set to Home, this
disabled condition remains until the machine door is
opened and closed. For machines set to Drop the
“C” key on the keypad be pressed before closing the
door to return disabled selections to operation. The
errors will remain until they are cleared.

Choosing Between Drop vs. Home
Please consider the information below when
deciding which mode of PosiVend to use:
1) If a machine is set to the Drop mode, the
“automatic motor scan upon door closure to restore
all the motors to their home position” is disabled. To
perform a motor scan and cycle all motors to their
home position, you must first press the “C” key on the Key Pad before closing the door. This
trademark feature of GPL equipment since 1985 is a
valuable diagnostic tool and it will also warn a route
service person if they have not pushed all the
shelves back into their normal position after
servicing.
Utilizing the drop mode disables the automatic
function of this important feature. Route service
personnel should be instructed to press Mode
Switch and the door switch to home all the motors
before filling the machine.
2) If a machine is set to the Drop mode, and a
route service person ignores the errors stored,
and closes the door without pressing the “C”

selection still disabled, even though they may
have cleared any product jams or misloads, and
refilled the selection.
3) The Drop mode may leave some selections in an
“off home” spiral position. Historically, GPL snack
machine spirals self-home, so it is possible that
route service personnel and/or consumers may
question a selection’s off home spiral appearance.
Consumers may avoid that selection, or the machine
altogether, thinking that something is “wrong” with it.
This may lead to an unnecessary service call. When
using the either of the Drop modes you may want to
reassure your client that spirals in an “off home”
position are normal and will produce a positive vend
4) The Home mode keeps the “motor scan upon
door closure to restore all the motors to their home
position” automatically enabled.
5) The Home mode will always leave selections in
their home spiral position.
6) PosiVend could deliver a second product on a
failed vend. However, the extra occasional product
cost is well worth the savings of a service call due to
a product hang-up or missed vend.

Operating System
Power Up State
Following a power-up or reset condition, the display
will show “AUTOMATIC PRODUCTS“on the top line
and “GPL / CMS” with three bouncing dots on either
side on the bottom line.
Motor Scan
Upon closing the door the display will show the
firmware revision level (see Figure 11), perform a
diagnostic routine that will scan and home the
motors determining what motors exist in the
configuration. After completion of this scan, the
status of all the motors will be reported on the
display (see Figure 12).
Standby
In Standby, the operator selected message will
appear on both the top and bottom line. The factory
default messages are “Have a nice day” on the top
line, and “Credit .00” on the second line. See the
Operating system, Mode 60 for details on how to
change the standby message. As soon as credit is
deposited, the accumulated credit will be shown on
the bottom line until a selection is made.
Keypad echo
When the first numeric key is pressed the display
will show the selection number in the third leftmost
digit. This character will remain for 5 seconds or until
another key is pressed. Once all 3 keys are pressed,
the selection will be shown on the display for one
second and then the associated price for the product
will display. If the selection is disabled or shut down
(using the Shutdown pins) the display will show
“Invalid selection” for 5 seconds or until a new
selection key is pressed. If the selection is enabled
but not functioning properly (not present or not
home) the display will show “Make Another
Selection” for 5 seconds or until a new selection key
is pressed.
Credit Accumulation
Credit may be accumulated through a coin changer,
bill acceptor or card reader. A non-revaluing card
reader credit cannot be mixed with coin and/or bill
credit during a single transaction or vend. If card
reader revalues the coin & bill credit goes to the
card, and then a vend may still be attempted. Credit
acceptance will be disabled when the accumulated
credit equals or exceeds the highest priced item.
Credit accumulation from any source is disabled or
escrowed if change is not available. If the amount of
card reader credit available exceeds the maximum
displayable credit, the maximum credit will be
displayed.

Operating System
Vend Process
After a keypad entry is made the logic board
determines if sufficient credit is available for the
selection attempted. If the credit is greater than or
equal to the selection price, a vend attempt will be
made for that selection. During this time, the
selection will be shown on the display. If credit is
less than the selection price, the correct price and
current credit amount will be displayed for 5
seconds or until a new selection key is pressed.
Change Payment
Change will be returned during the vend process as
soon as it is determined that the motor has moved
off of the home position. This will change if
PosiVend is active. When PosiVend is active, the
transaction is not completed until the PV sensors
confirm delivery of the product. The amount of
change to be returned will be displayed until all
coinage is paid back. The least amount of coins
available will be paid back for all credit returns.
Use Correct Change
If the level of the changer's least value coin tube is
below the lowest sensor, the "Use Correct Change"
message will be shown on the display. If the
machine is unable to vend the selected item
because of low change, the display will show “Use
Correct Change” for 5 seconds or until a new
selection key is pressed.
Make Another Selection
If the machine is unable to vend the selected item,
the “Make Another Selection " message will be
displayed for 5 seconds or until a new selection key
is pressed.
Token Vends
Following the acceptance of a token, the display will
show "FREE". Further credit acceptance is disabled
and a single item may be selected to vend for the
token credit. See the Operating Section Mode 29,
for instructions on setting up and choosing which
selections will work with tokens.
Accountability Information
All MIS data is stored as both resettable and nonresettable with the exception of Machine

DEX/UCS
The Fusion supports DEX/UCS Communications
Protocol - NAMA Vending Industry Data Retrieval
Standard. The machine will automatically recognize
the DEX/UCS device when it is plugged into the
control board and will recognize when the device
initiates the communication protocol. The
transmission/reception of data to the device will then
take place automatically. See the next page of this
manual for definitions of the DEX/UCS download
protocol.
