CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
POWER PANE L. You may have one of three power panels, depending upon
where you live. The controls are fundamentally the same, however.
Circuit Breakers and Fuses. Circuit breakers and fuses protect the merchan-
diser against failures in the power supply or any of the electrical components. If
a circuit breaker trips and canno t be res et, or if a fuse repeatedly blows, contact a
field service representative.
Back Side of U.S./ Canada Power Control Panel. The circuit board mounted
on the rear of the U.S. and Canadian power co ntrol panel is a dc power suppl y for
the coin mechanism. A fuse protects the board circuitry in the event of a coin
mechanism solenoid failure. If the coin mechanism is not working, check this
fuse. If the fuse is blown, a bad coin mechanism solenoid could be at fault.
Main Power Switch. This is the main ON/OFF switch for the merchandiser.
WARNING
T o protect against electrical shocks and possible damage to the
machine, turn this switch OFF when performing any mainte
nance on the merchandiser.

High V oltage In terlock Switch (U.S./ Canada). When the cabinet door is open ,
this switch turns off the optional fan and bean light (if so equipped) and turns on
the service light.
High V o ltage Interlock Switch (International). When the cabinet d oor is o pen,
this switch turns off all high voltage to the cabinet. Pulling the switch out
restores high voltage for maintenance purposes.
Low Voltage Door Switch. Informs the controller software of the main door
open or closed status.
Message Display. This is how the merchandiser communicates with the outside
world. Customers can see messages about ho w much money they have put into
the merchandiser. The message display also tells customers when a selection is
sold out and when vendi ng is free, in hibit ed, or discoun ted. The mes sage displ ay
shows you what you are doing when you program the merchandiser, and can
show you what is wrong if there is a failure.
Free Vend Keyswitch. This allows someone (other than maintenance people) to
set the merchandiser to free vend without opening the door.
Selection Switch Panel. The customer uses these switches to make selections.
Also, maintenance people may use this switch panel during programming and
other support modes.
Coin Return Button. Pressing this button returns any coins that have been paid
into the merchandiser prior to a vend.
Bill Acceptor (Optional). Accepts bills in various denominations, depending
upon the type of bill validator, and how the machine is configured.
Service Keypad. The service keypad is located at the top of the monetary pan el.
It gives service personnel the means to program, retrieve data from, and view
diagnostic information about, the merchandiser.

INITIAL SET-UP
I. Location Preparation
After your machine is unpacked and placed near its permanent location , you need
to make sure you have the proper electrical and water service.
This merchandiser needs electrical power as shown in the following table.
NOTE: Each merchandiser should have its own electrical circuit.
Power Requirements
CountryVoltsFrequency (Hz)Current (Amps)
Canada1156015
France2305010
Germany2305010
United Kingdom2305010
United States1156015
This merchandiser is supplied with a service cord for the country of use and is
terminated in a grounding type plug. The wall receptacle used for this merchan
diser must be prop erly polarized , grounded , and of the correct voltage. Operating
the merchandiser from a source of low voltage will VOID YOUR WARRANTY .
Each merchandiser should have its own electrical circuit and that circuit should
be protected with a circuit breaker or fuse conforming to local regulations.
-
Voltage Check - Place the leads of a voltmeter across the LINE (LIVE) and
NEUTRAL terminals of the wall receptacle. The voltmeter should indicate
110-130 volts ac for 120 volt, 60 Hz locations, or 220-240 volts ac for 230
volt, 50 Hz locations.
Polarity Check - Place the leads of a voltmeter across the LINE ( LIVE) and
GROUND terminals of the wall receptacle. The voltmeter should indicate
110-130 volts ac for 120 volt, 60 Hz locations, or 220-240 volts ac for 230
volt, 50 Hz locations.
Noise Potential Check - Place the leads of a voltmeter across the NEUTRAL and GROUND terminals of the wall receptacle. The voltmeter
should indicate 0 volts ac. A measurement greater than 1.5-2.0 volts ac
could result in problems for the mercha ndiser's electronic ci rcuitry caused by
electrical noise.
Any deviation from these requirements could result in unreliable performance
from your merchandiser.
653000615
March, 2001
Hot Drink Center Set-Up Manual
Water Requirements
The best type of water for coffee brewing is normal hard (tap) water. If your
location has chemically softened water, you should do one of the following
things:
•Have a non-softened supply line run to the merchandiser
•Contact your local water filter supplier for information and suggestions
Well water can also be used in the Hot Drink Center. However,
you should have it checked for levels of carbonates and alka
lies. Contact your water filter supplier if these values are rela-
tively high.
What is the Water Pressure at Your Location?
It should be no less than: 10 psi ( 69.0 K Pa) at 1/2 gall on/minute
And no more than: 80 psi (522.0 KPa) at 1/2 gallon/minute
If you're not sure about the pressure and flow rate, check with your water company.
What to do With the Water Supply Line:
•Locate the supply line at the rear of your merchandiser.
•Equip the line with a shut-off valve.
-
Flush the water supply line before connecting it to the merchandiser. A minimum of five gallons is usually required before connecting the merchandiser to
the supply line. DO NOT flush the merchandiser water system. If you do, you
might introduce water line contaminants into the merchandiser.

Hot Drink Center Set-Up Manual
II. Positioning the Mercha ndiser
You can position this merchandiser anywhere in a bank of machines. It can even
be placed on the end flush against a side wall. Be sure yo u leave enough roo m in
front of the merchandiser for the door to move freely.
BE SURE THE REAR OF THE MERCHANDISER IS AT LEAST 6
INCHES (15 cm) AWAY FROM THE WALL. THIS WILL ALLOW
WARM MOIST AIR TO BE VENTED OUT OF THE MACHINE'S INTE
RIOR.
WARNING
THIS MACHINE IS ONLY RATED FOR INSTALLATION IN AN
INDOOR LOCATION.
III. Connecting Everything
1.Connect the Merchandiser to the Water Supply:
a.You will need the following:
•A coil of copper tubing with outside diameter of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) or
greater. The appropriate plastic tubing may be substituted. The tubing
must be long enough to reach from the water sour ce to you r machin e with
enough left over to form a loop about 2 feet (60 cm) in diameter. This
will allow you to move the machine without straining the water line.
•A 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) flare fitting.
-
b.Connect the merchandiser to your water supply.
2.Connect the Merchandiser to the Electrical Power Supply:
Power inside the merchandiser is controlled by the main power switch, located
on the power panel.
a.Make sure the main power switch is OFF.
b.Connect the merchandiser’s power cord to your wall outlet.
IV. Final Mechanical Preparation
1.Level the Merchandiser:
a.Using a spirit level, adjust the front and rear leg levelers until the
machine is level from side to side and back to front.

4.Fill the Tank:
a.Make sure the main power switch is ON.
b.Turn on the water at its source.
c.On the maintenance keypad, press , then press u ntil the
display shows TANK.FILL.
d.Press . Y ou should hear water running into the tank, and the dis-
play will show FILLING. The water will run until either the tank is full or
12 minutes go by, whichever happens first.
NOTE
The inlet water valve only stays open for 12 minutes at a tim e.
This is a safety feature to prevent water from running into a
leaky system and making a mess. It is possible for your tank to
take longer than 12 minutes to fill if your location has low
water pressure. To be on the safe side, check for leaks if the
water runs a long time. If you find none, every thing is normal;
you just have low water pressure.
e.When you hear the water stop running, repeat steps 3 and 4. Un der no r-
mal circumstances, nothing will happen. If water starts running and the
display shows FILLING again, your pressure is low and it is just taking a
long time to fill the tank. Repeat this step if necessary to be sure your
water tank is full.
5.Fill the Canisters:
a.Open the lid as shown, and carefully pour the appropriate product into

III. Grinder Adju stment
grind that is within the acceptable range will result in more controlled dispen
ng of grounds into the brew basket, and better extraction of coffee flavors. A
rind that is too coarse resu lts in poor extraction and spraying grounds in the
rewer area. A grind that is too fine can overload the grinder motor as well as
log the screens in the brew basket and
unnel.
he degree-of-grind scale attached to
he grinder motor represents an accept-
ble range of grinds. Do not set the
rinder beyond the limits of thi s scale.
a.Push the locking collar
toward the canister and turn
the grinder motor.
b.Turn clockwise for a finer
grind and counterclockwis e
for a coarser grind. A notch
on the locking collar indicates
the grind on the scale.
Do not turn the grinder motor too far in the clockwise direction. The grinder blades will come into contact and may be
damaged.
c.Adjusting the grind may make it necessary to readjust the throw time.
Use the factory default times as a starting point and proceed according
to the directions in the "COLLECTING DRY PRODUCT GRAM THROWS" section of the Programming Guide.

SANIT ATION
I. Basics
INTRODUCTION
Anybody who services vending machines must use proper sanitizing procedures.
Health regulations require that hands be clean when cups, commodities, and
food-contact parts are handled or serviced.
In addition, Federal and State Health Departments require regular cleaning and
sanitizing procedures for food contact parts.
The information in this section will explain how to clean and sanitize the merchandiser on a day to day basis. A clean and well maintained merchandiser will
provide a better product and greater safety for your customers.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING -- WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Clean means “free of visible soil”. In cup vending machine servicing, cleaning is
also done to maintain product quality and to remove food soils, oils, and mineral
stains that could affect product taste, aroma, and appearance.
Sanitizing means the reduction, to safe levels, of the number of disease-causing
bacteria that remain on the surface after cleaning. Therefore, cleaning and sani
tizing are done in separate steps, as prescribed by health regulations and good
industry practice.
-
When you sanitize you create a healthy and hygienic condition. This leads to
wholesome food, which in turn leads to satisfied customers.
SANITIZING IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A GOOD CLEANING
HOW DO I SANITIZE?
You can sanitize by using either of these two methods:
Chemicals: The object to be sanitized is treated with a bactericidal compound.
Heat: Raise the temperature of the object high enough to kill bacteria.
Water must be at least 170° F.
Hot brew water (if available) is an acceptable sanitizer. When food contact
surfaces are washed and/or rinsed, use the hot water available in the
machine.
Turn the machine off before using water on the machine.
653000635
March, 2001
Hot Drink Center Set-Up Manual
In either case, the object must be thoroughly clean and completely rinsed i n order
for the sanitizing process to work. Caked-on soils not removed by cleaning, for
example, may shield bacteria from a sanitizing solution.
A GOOD PLACE TO START -- YOUR SANITATION KIT
You need to be sure that each machine is clean, safe, and functioning when you
leave it. In order to properly do this, you need to have a complete set of the right
tools. In addition to the screwdrivers, pliers, and test equipment necessary to
repair a machine, you need to have the tools to clean the machine.
Here is a checklist of the items needed for a good sanitation kit:
Sanitation pail
Tube and nozzle brus hes for food contact surfaces
Utility brush for dry spillage around canisters, etc.
Disposable towels, wet-strength and lint-free
NOTE
Wiping wit h towels can recontaminate sanitized food-contact
parts. Therefore, towels should not be used to dry food-contact
surfaces. Instead, these parts should be air dried.
Spray detergent, diluted to desired strength
Urn cleaner packets for coffee stains and oils
Odor control chemicals for pails
Replacement parts (if the exchange method is used)
Cabinet polish or window cleaner for the outside of the machine
Feel free to add some items to this list. For example, you may want to use a portable vacuum cleaner.

II. Clean the Hot Water Tank
Some smell and/or taste problems may occur in new machines. Follow this procedure to clean the hot water tank if you experience problems:
7.If the machine is in service, remove power from the machine.
8.Dissolve 1 tablespoon of common baking soda in a cup of water.
WARNING
The water tank may be HOT. Be careful when working on the
tank.
9.Loosen or remove the hot water tank lid and pour th e baking soda solution
into the tank.
10. Apply power to the machine.
11. If the tank is not full, fill it.
12. Allow the tank to reach its operating temperature.
13. Leave the solution in the tank for AT LEAST ½ hour. If possible, leave the
solution in the tank for 1 hour.
14. Drain the tank.
15. Refill the tank, then drain again.
16. Refill the tank and put the machine back into service.

IV. Overall Cleaning
Inspect your merchandiser both inside and out. Be sure to check corners and all
less visible parts of the merchandiser.
Clean where needed.
Allow the inside of the cabinet to dry thoroughly before you close the door.
National Vendors recommends using the following s upplies:
•A commercial glass cleaner on the glass in the cabinet door.
•A mild detergent and warm water on the cabinet, brewer, and other NON
ELECTRICAL components.
WARNING
The plastic parts in your merchandiser shou ld be cleaned with
mild detergent and warm water. The use of other cleaning
agents may damage the material, and should be avoided.
V. Preventive Maintenance Cleaning
Periodically, you should visually inspect your merchandiser's hot water tank for
excessive lime and scale buildup. This buildup on the tank walls, water valves,
and heater element will vary dramatically, depending upon water quality. You
should develop a cleaning and deliming schedule based on the apparent local
water quality.
NOTE
To aid in removing scale from your merchandiser, National
Vendors has a service kit available: part number 6400080. In
addition, if your machine has the Everpure water inlet filter
system option, a second kit (part number 6400086) is also
available.

APPENDIX A. THE FREE VEND KEYSWITCH OPTION
The free vend keyswitch allows someone to set up free vending without needing
to open the door.
It is a good idea to establish a free vend code. This will prevent an unauthorized
person from setting the machine to free vend, even if they have a key.
1.Press . Enter your 4-digit supervisor code. Press .
2.Press again, then press until the disp lay shows FREE XXXX. Enter a 4-digit free vend code.
NOTE
To keep the user from having to enter a code, you can enter
0000 as your code. See the steps below for details.
3.CONTINUE.
USING THE FREE VEND KEY SWITCH:
If you have set your freevend option to FREE W/KEY:
4.Place your key in the free vend keyswitch and turn it to the right. (If the
keyswitch is already turned to the right, turn it to the left, then back to the
right.) The di splay shows: ENTER CODE.
NOTE
If your freevend code is set to 0000, you will not see this display. Skip to step 6.
5.Enter your 4-digit freevend code. If you do this successfully within 6 seconds, you will hear two beeps, and the display shows: UNLOCKED.
6.The display shows NO MONEY REQUIRED (or whatever custom message
you set up for the freevend period). Remove your key. All vends are free
until the keyswitch is turned to the left again.
7.To take the machine off free vend, insert your key, turn the keyswitch to the
left, and remove the key.
If you have set your freevend option to FREE OFF or FREE ALL:
1.If the freevend key is turned to the right, the machine will go out of service.
The infrared mug/cup sensor can sense the presence of a mug or cup without
using movin g parts.
Indicator Light
The sensor is equipped with an indicator light. This light will help you get the
best results from the infrared mug/cup sensor.
Under these conditions, the indicator light should be off:
•Machine door open
•Cup station in place
•No cup in the station
If it is on, it is indicating improper cup station alignment or excessive sensor sensitivity.
Testing the light...Under these conditions:
•Machine door closed
•Cup station in place
•No cup in the station
Press any letter on the selection switch panel, for example, A. Only the letter A
should be showing in the message display. If “A MUG” is displayed, the sensor
thinks there is a mug in the station. The fault could be one or more of the follow
ing:
-
•Improper cup station alignment
•Excessive sensitivity (the sensor is sensing the delivery door)
•Cup station lens is not clean
Cleaning
As indicated in the Sanitation section, you should remove the cup s tation to clean
it. Pay particular attention to the dark colored infrared mug/cup sensor lens,
which is part of the cup station. If it is not thoroughly cleaned, the sensor will not
work properly.
CAUTION
Do not get liquid inside the sensor unit.
Cleaning the infrared mug/cup sensor unit itself is not usually necessary. If it
does require cleaning, just wipe it with a damp cloth.

Calibration
1.Remove the plastic cap in the rear of the sensing un it, exposing the potentiometer adjusting screw, as shown in figure B1.
2.Turn the screw clockwise to in crease sensitiv ity of cup detection, or counterclockwise to decrease sensitivity.
3.Calibrate the sensor:
CAUTION
Do not adjust sensitivity too far, or unreliable sensing could
result.
a. Using a piece of WHITE poster bo ard or h eavy cardb oard , make a 5" x
5 5/8" target.
NOTE
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS MATERIAL BE
WHITE.
b. Place the target in the cup station just beyond the cup deflectors (see fig-
ure B-2). The target should be standing vertically; not tilted forward or
backward.
c. With the target in place, turn the adjusting screw clockwise very slowly
until the indicator just turns ON.
d. Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise very slowly until the indica-
tor just turns OFF.
4.Replace the plas tic cap.
5.Insert a mug into the cup station in the vending position and check to see
that the red indicator light is ON.
This calibration will be adequate for most cups or mugs. In some cases, a
slightly more sensitive setting is needed if the cup or mug is a dark color.
Connect your portable data collection device (PDCD) to the harness hanging
inside the monetary door, and operate it per its instructions.
SELECT DATA TRA N SFER METHOD:
6.Press . The display shows: ENTER CODE. You must enter the fourdigit supervisor code within 6 seconds to gain access.
