General Characteristics

Sales of products

The board is predisposed for direct connection to a maximum of 8 trays with 9 spirals per tray.
The correct dispensing of the product is assured by the patented system which controls the rotation
of the spirals at 360° + X° -X° where X is programmable for each spiral.
The graphic display allows a simple and efficient use of the machine. The ample dimensions of the
display lend to a clear and detailed visualization of all texts with the possibility of contemporaneous
translations in a second language of your choice.
It is possible to personalize the operations on the display including visualization of the status
information, time and date, temperature and a maximum of 8 publicity Spots designed and
downloaded onto the machine by PC.

Accounts and registration

Each of the 72 possible products is equipped with a sales counter and a products remaining
counter. It is also possible to specify the valid days of each product to inhibit sales of expired

products.
The total sales counters allow the registration, even singularly, of each coin along with the direct
visualization in real currency.
The programming of the prices is also expressed in real currency with relative decimals and currency
symbols for an immediate understanding of the values of all costs.
The data-logger system allows the automatic registration of any machine operation. Up to more than
1700 records in text format allow the memorizing for each vend of the time and date, the number of
the selection, the remaining and actual takings, etc. A progressive reading system of these records
by PC allows the archiving on file, in unique mode, of the detailed information of each vend for the
whole life of the machine.

Clock functions

The clock/calendar of the logic board allows not only the eventual visualization of the current time
and date on the display and the registration of events using the data-logger, but permits the
management of turning on and off the refrigerator, the display cabinet and the display depending
on opportune programs. A maximum of 16 programs describe the operations of turning on and off by
correspondence masks which run from the value of the seconds to those annual.

Elevated programming and personalization

The RVM72A is the only electronic board where it is possible, by PC, to modify as required all the
texts in all the languages, the graphic fonts, the graphic icons, the Spots and the 3 default tables.
A computer software facilitates the reading, writing and archiving on file of all current working
parameters of the machine, in alternative to the manual programming with the keypad and display.
By PC it is also possible to update the software of the microprocessor directly onto the board.

Total compatibility of the board

The logic board RVM72A is mechanically and electrically compatible with the DRF35A board except
for the display which is substituted by a dimensionally bigger graphic display.

General Information on the logic board

Connection of the payment systems

A parallel coin mechanism can be connected to the 10 pin connector CN6 or to the 16 pin connector
CN5. These connectors supply, respectively, a power supply of 12V and 24V to the coin mechanism.
A serial coin mechanism with Executive protocol can be connected to connector CN8.
The parallel coin mechanism can be used contemporaneously with the serial coin mechanism.

Verifying and modifying of the working parameters

To enter the service menu press the “service key” indicated in the diagram for circa 1”.
To return to the normal state of vending of the machine press again this key or digit on the keypad
“Esc” (9) and confirm the selection with the “OK” (8) key.

Set up of default parameters

The board, for its functioning, avails of circa 800 different working parameters. Normally it is
necessary to modify only a few depending on specific needs. However, it is possible to automatically
re-install these parameters with the values contained in 3 distinct default tables.
To set-up one of the default tables you must turn the machine on whilst pushing down the “service
key” and the key “1” or “2” or “3” depending on the table.

Service menu

Use of the keypad

All of the service and programming functions of the working parameters are accessed through the
use of the keypad of the machine.
Keep the “Help” (3) key pressed down to visualize the current functions of the keys in that particular
menu or sub-menu:

The keys “1” and “2” allow the selection of one of the voices of the menu.
The “OK” (8) key confirms the choice of the menu, whilst the “Esc” (9) key is for exiting from the
menu.

Once you have entered into a specific sub-menu of visualizing and modifying of parameters the other
keys come into use:

Keys “1” and “2” allow the selection of a specific parameter.
Keys “4” and “5” modify the current value of the parameter. It is possible to quickly select and
modify the values keeping pressed down the relevant key. Different levels of speed will be
progressively and automatically recalled for a quick arrival to the requested value.
The “Def” (6) key recalls the default value of the only parameter to be modified, using the respective
value of the last used default table (of the 3 possibilities).

In each case, when the value has been modified with keys “4” and “5”, or the default value has been
recalled, you must definitively confirm the modification of the parameter with the ”OK” (8) key.
The attention for this confirmation is called by the “OK ?” text flashing on the display which indicates
that the actual value memorized in the parameter memory of the machine is still not the same as that
prepared. By pressing “Esc” (9) without confirming the parameter will not be modified.

The “Copy” (7) key allows the copying of the same value to the following parameters belonging
to the same group. For example, to set-up the same price for different products, modify the price of
product 11, position on the following product 12 and press the key “7”. Automatically, the same price
of product 11 will be copied and confirmed to product 12 and automatically the position shifts to
product 13 to continue this operation for all the following products.

An analogue procedure can be carried out to contemporaneously copy the same value to all
following parameters relative to an entire tray. For example, once the price for product 11 has
been modified and positioned on 12, press key “7” for at least 1”.
The copy function as described above will be automatically repeated for all of the products of the
current tray. At the end, the position will shift to the first product of the next tray.

“Load products” Menu

 Reload all
 Remaining products
 Reload quantity
 Expiry of products
 Expiry of reload

“Remaining products” has 72 counters relating to each possible product which decrease by 1 every
time that specific product has been dispensed.
“Expiry of products” has 72 counters relating to each possible product which decrease by 1 with
each passing day.
“Reload quantity” has 72 values which can be set-up for the quick reload of all values of the
counters type “Remaining products”.
“Expiry of reload” has 72 values which can be set-up for the quick reload of all values of the
counters type “Expiry of products”.
“Reload all” allows the rapid reload contemporaneously of the current values of the counters with
the reload values.
However, it is possible to modify manually and in any moment the current values of the counters to
adapt them to a particular actual situation without having to resort to the reload in bulk.
In particular, when the “Reload all” command is carried out, the time of reload is re-synchronized,
used as a reference to the passing days. For example, carrying out this command at 16:30:00 on a
certain day, 16:30:00 of the following day will be taken as one day passed and so on.
When an expiry of product reaches 0 days, the sale of this product is inhibited.
Setting to “Unlimited” the days of the “Expiry of reload” of a certain product disables the management
of the expiry for that product and the relative expiry product counter will also show the value of days
“Unlimited”.

“Sales counters” Menu

 Cancel counters
 Visualize counters

Total partial sales

“Visualize counters” has 72 partial counters (that can be zeroed) of the sales relative to each single
product which increase by 1 every time that specific product is dispensed. Also, at the end of this list
the visualization of a total sales counter of an absolute type (that can’t be zeroed) is available.
“Total partial sales” directly visualizes the sum of the actual values of all partial counters and so
represents a total sales counter of the partial type (which can be zeroed).

“Cancel counters” is a command that allows the zeroing of all partial sales counters.

“Takings counters” Menu

 Cancel counters
 Visualize counters

Total partial takings

“Visualize counters” is the combination of the partial counters (which can be zeroed) of the takings
relative to the 6 coin channels of the parallel coin mechanism, of the 4 channels of the parallel
banknote reader and the Executive serial payment system. Also, an ulterior partial counter totals the
remaining costs of the coin mechanism and banknote reader which have been annulled (where this
operation is qualified).
