Important Safeguards

When programming the Vision machine, always have this manual available for quick
and easy reference and always follow these basic safety precautions:

1. Ensure that the machine is situated on a strong horizontal surface,at a convenient

height and in a position where it is not likely to be knocked off.

2. The mains lead should never trail from the machine and should always be kept

away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

3. Allow the machine to cool before handling or moving.

4. Ensure that the mains electricity supply is isolated before removing any of the

protective panels or undertaking any major servicing.Working on live equipment
should only be undertaken when there is no practical alternative.

5.

When servicing the heater tank. The water can reach a temperature of
approximately 96º C. Water at this temperature can cause severe burns!

6. Never immerse the machine in water, or any other liquid.This machine must not

be installed in an area where a water jet may be used. Never use a water jet to
clean this machine.

7. In normal operating conditions the machine should not freeze-up. In the unlikely

event of the machine freezing, turn off the mains water supply, disconnect the
machine from the mains electricity supply and contact Crane Merchandising
Systems for assistance.

8. Ensure that you are conversant with the ‘Health and Safety at Work and Electricity

at Work Regulations 1989’.

This machine is for indoor use only and because it is a food machine,should be situated
in a clean, hygienic area.

Modes of Operation

Vision machines have three operating modes:

1.

Standby Mode - The machine is ready to dispense a vend and displays the time
and type of credit input required.This is followed by the vend cycle and a return
to the standby mode.

2.

Operators Program - Accessed by pressing the program entry button (blank)
twice - figure 1 and then entering the Operators code via the keypad.This enables
the operator to access sub-programs in order to change information on time,drink
and price periods. It is not possible to vend a drink from within the Operators
program.

3.

Engineers Program - Accessed by pressing the program entry button (blank)
twice - figure 1 and then entering the Engineers code via the keypad.The engineer
may then further access a number of sub-programs in order to alter the ingredient
dispense and machine parameters or use the machine test facilities.

displayed, press the access key to enter into that sub-program.To return the main
program, press the blank or cancel key.

6. Using the time/date sub-program as an example,the LCD will display the message:

- where “??:??” is the current time held in controller memory. If the time is correct,
pressing the up or down keys displays the day and date.

7. When a parameter is displayed which requires changing, press the access key.The
display will now show:

Note: The ‘right arrow’ sign (>) indicates that it is possible to update the display. It is

not possible to update the display when the equals (=) sign is displayed.

8. The time may now be entered as a four digit number with any leading zeros
included (see page 12-15 - ‘Time/Date Sub-Program’ for full description).

9. If any numerical data parameter is entered other than time, it may be changed in
one of two different ways:

(a) Pressing the ‘up’ or ‘down’ arrows increases or decreases the number on each

key press.

(b) Keying in the actual digits of the number required (9 & 12 button machines

only). Using this method, the number will be displayed in place of the current
parameter. If a number greater than 255 is entered, the display will erase the
most significant digit and display a number made up of the least two significant
digits; e.g. if the numbers 713 are entered,“7” will be displayed first, followed
by “71”, but 713 is greater than 255, so “13” will be displayed.

10. Once the correct number has been entered,press the access key to overwrite the
old parameter with the new number.To retain the old parameter press either the
‘blank’ or ‘cancel’ key.

11. Assuming a time of “15.35” was entered, the display will now show the message:

Summary

All programming operates on this same principle with only a few minor variations.
These variations are outlined as the separate sub-programs are described in the
following section.

The main points to remember when programming are:-

ACCESS: Takes the program down to the next level of operation or enters the

displayed data parameter.

CANCEL: Returns the program to its previous level if applicable or cancels the

displayed data parameter.

BLANK: Performs the same function as the cancel key except where outlined.

▲ : Used for increasing data or numbers.

▼ : Used for decreasing data or numbers.

Data parameters may only be entered when the “>” prompt is displayed.

“Weekdays” and “Weekends”. When the required day setting is displayed, press
the “Access” key to complete the price period data entry. The message on the
display will read:

8. There are a maximum of ten possible price periods available. To enter another
price period, use the up and down arrows to view the periods until an empty
period is displayed.The new period is entered in the same way as described above.

9. If the start time is entered as being a later time than the finish time, the period
will not be accepted by the machine. If periods overlap, the first overlapping
period in the list will be the one in force until it has finished. To delete a period,
continue as if that period were to be re-programmed, and when the display is
requesting the start time to be entered, press cancel.

To change the tariff period for 4 button machines, please refer to the “Time/Date Sub

-Program” sequence (page 12) for details of using the up and down arrows and button

1 on the keypad.

6.

Vend Counters Sub-Program

1. When the vend counters sub-program is entered, the first drink counter is
displayed:

2. The up and down arrows enable the counters for each drink to be viewed, but
they cannot be altered using the keypad.These counters can only be reset by using
the “Reset Counters” switch.

3. There is one vend counter for each drink,plus counters for jug vends, free vends,
total vends and total sales value.The total sales data is displayed in units of 1 penny.

8. Time / Date Sub-Program
This sub-program allows the time, date and day to be altered if necessary.The date is

programmed for leap-year roll-over and should not require adjustment. However, the
time has not been programmed with BST/GMT changeover.This enables the machine
to be used in countries other than the UK.

Note: The method of programming the date and time program for machines with 4

selection buttons is different to machines with 9 and 12 selection buttons.The
following examples describe the correct methods for programming both
machines.

Coin Set Sub-Program

1. Drink Sub-Programs

The drink sub-programs allow the ingredient and water quantities for each drink to
be adjusted to accommodate different ingredient types and taste requirements.
Proceed as follows:

1. On entry into the ingredient sub-programs, the first ingredient to be displayed is
the ingredient which constitutes the major part of the drink. In the case of tea,
this will be:

2. All ingredient quantities are displayed in twentieth of a second increments.
Therefore a quantity of 40 actually means that the ingredient is dispensed for forty
twentieth's, or two seconds thus simplifying the calculation of ingredient
quantities.The engineer does not need to consider the exact weight or volume
of ingredient and has an immediate idea of the approximate time taken to dispense
a sensible quantity.

3. The quantity may be altered in the same way as other parameters are
programmed. Depending on the drink type, there may be a number of different
ingredient values to be adjusted. For each ingredient value there is an associated
water value, again measured in twentieth's of a second.

4. The diagram (figure 3) illustrates the ingredients that may be involved in the make­up of a drink.The chocomilk sub-program is used as an example. Not all drinks
will involve this amount of ingredient, most will only contain a main ingredient and
water.

Figure 3

5. The maximum parameter allowed for any one ingredient quantity is 255 except
when programming jug vends.

2. Ingredient Coefficient Sub-Program
There is an ingredient coefficient value for each ingredient allocated to a canister in

the canister configuration sub program (Vision 300/400 only). The ingredient
coefficients are used to determine the weight of each ingredient used.The formula used
in the calculation is:-

Ingredient coefficient x ingredient quantity = hundredth's of a gramme of ingredient in drink

This formula enables an accurate count of the weight of each ingredient used to be
logged, using information found in both the Operators and Engineers weight counters.

Although the machines are pre-programmed with preset values for all the ingredient
coefficients, these values may vary with ingredients from different manufacturers and
may not be accurate for the particular ingredient being used.More accurate coefficients
may be calculated in the following way:

1. Set the ingredient quantity time to 100 in the drink sub program.

2. Using a suitable container, collect the dispensed ingredient for the drink type
at the dispense nozzle of the canister.

3. Accurately weigh the ingredient in grammes, taking into account the weight of
the container used.

4. Round the weight to the nearest whole number to give the ingredient
coefficient.As an example, if the weight of ingredient using a dispense time of
100 was found to be 57.84 grammes, the ingredient coefficient would be 58.

Note:The accuracy of the weight counters is entirely dependent upon the accuracy

of the measurement of ingredient used to determine the ingredient coefficient.
Crane Stentorfield can accept no responsibility for the accuracy of ingredient
coefficient values supplied by any other party.

3.

Output Test Sub-Program

This sub-program enables the engineer to individually test each output of the machine.

1. On entry into the sub-program the LCD will display the first output (Inlet Valve),
with its present state (off) beneath it.

2. Pressing the arrow keys allows the engineer to cycle through the outputs in turn,
displaying the name of each one. In order to test an output, press the “1” key to
switch it on, and the “0” key to switch it off. The caption at the bottom of the
LCD will show the current state of the output. If the output is left ‘ON’ for more
than three seconds the protection circuit will switch it ‘OFF’, even though the

Programming Manual

18

INLET VALVE
OFF

display will still indicate that it is ‘ON’.This prevents damage to the motors.

3. When a different output is selected, or the sub-program exited, the previous
output is automatically switched ‘OFF’.

Note:It is not possible to test the heater using the output test sub-program. Serious

damage may occur if there is insufficient water in the heater tank when the
heater is turned on.

4. Input Test Sub-Program

This sub-program enables the engineer to individually test each of the input lines.

1. The operation of the input sub-program is similar to the output test sub-program
except that the display shows the name of the input and the caption indicates its’
current state:

2. As the state of the input changes, so does the caption on the second line. There
is a delay of approximately three-quarters of a second before the display caption
changes to ensure that any rapid changes can be seen.

5.

Keypad Test Sub-Program

The keypad test sub-program enables the engineer to test each key on the keypad to
ensure that it is operating correctly.

1. Whenever a key is pressed, the name of that key will be displayed on the LCD.
Because the access key was pressed to enter the sub-program, on entry to this
sub-program the LCD will display:

2. For numerical keys, the number will be displayed, such as “1 key” or “2 key”.For
other keys, the name of the key will be displayed, such as “Up” or “Down”.

3. To exit from this sub-program into the engineer program, press the blank key.

6.

Initialise Sub-Program

The initialise sub-program enables the engineer to return all the parameters to their
factory settings.

1. Upon entry into the initialise sub-program, the display will show the message:

2. To initialise the machine, press access.The display will now show:

3. The LCD will flash this message accompanied by an intermittent beep.To return
to the Engineers program or standby mode, it is necessary to press the cancel
key. This ensures that should the initialise sub-program ever be inadvertently
activated, the engineer cannot overlook the fact that the machine has been
initialised.

7.

Cup Level Sub-Program

1. The cup level sub-program allows the amount of water used in each cup vend to
be altered on a percentage basis. This enables different size cups to be used
without having to change each drink ingredient quantity. Jug vends remain
unaffected.

2. The sub-program will display the percentage cup level which may be altered in
the same way as all other parameters. 100% cup level will dispense the exact
amount of water set in the drink ingredient sub-programs. A figure below 100%
will dispense less water, and a figure above 100% will dispense more.

8.

Management Sub-Program

The management sub-program informs the controller which hardware aspects of the
machine have been selected. For Vision machines this relates to the coin system fitted.

Access into the “Coin System” program displays the type of coin system selected. To
change the selection,press the access key followed by the ‘up’ or ‘down’ keys to display
the required selection. Enter the new selection by pressing the access key. If the
machine is not fitted with a coin system, the option “Free Vend Only” should be
selected.

9.

Key Configuration Sub-Program

The key configuration sub-program enables the positions of the drinks on the keypad
to be re-configured.

1. Upon entry into the sub-program, the display will show the first button followed

by the name of the drink allocated to that button:

2. Use the up and down arrows to view the drink application assigned to each
button.

3. In order to change the drink allocation for any button, press the enter key, then
using the up and down keys, scroll through each drink name in turn.

4. When the required drink name for the selected button is displayed, press the
enter key to save the selection.

Note: There is no limitation to the number of buttons that can be assigned with the

same drink choice.

10.

Coin Set Sub-Program

The coin set sub-program enables the coin set to be changed to suit the coin
mechanism (where fitted) connected to the machine. Although the actual coin set
used by the coin mechanism is totally transparent to the controller, this will ensure
that the displayed message in the standby mode correctly indicates which coins may
be entered.The possible coin sets are:

• 1p - 20p

• 1p - 50p

• 1p - £1

• 5p - 50p

• 5p - £1

These are selected in the same way as parameters in the “management sub-program”.

Note: This sub-program is not accessible if “Free Vend Only” or “Card System” is

selected in the management sub-program.

11.

Miscellaneous Settings Sub-Program

The miscellaneous settings sub-program allows various delays and timings to be set
which will affect all of the drinks in the machine. These settings may be viewed and
changed in the same manner as the parameters in the ingredient sub-programs.

1.

Water Start To Ingredient Start Delay

The water start to ingredient start delay defines the time between water starting
to be dispensed and the ingredient starting to be dispensed. If ingredient reaches
the mixing bowl before the water, it may stick to the sides of the bowl.This delay
ensures that ingredient is always dispensed into a bowl already containing water.

Programming Manual

21

BUTTON 1
= COFFEE

2. Water Stop To Whipper Stop Delay

The water stop to whipper stop delay defines the length of time that the whipper
will continue to run after the water valve has closed.This ensures that the whipper
operates whenever there is water in the mixing bowl.

3.

Flush Time

This setting is the period of time that a valve is opened during a flush cycle. It is
generally set slightly higher than the period set for a vend to ensure that the
mixing bowl is filled further than during a vend. Care should be taken to ensure
that the period set does not cause the bowl to overflow.

12.

Drink Disable Sub-Program

This sub-program allows drinks to be either enabled or disabled.The following example

Canister Configuration Sub-Program - Vision 300 & 400 Only

This sub-program allows the ingredient which is to be used in each canister to be
selected. Because Vision 400 machines may be fitted with up to four canisters, there
are four canisters to be allocated in the sub-program.The canisters are numbered one
to four with canister one being the right hand canister when viewing the machine from
the front with the door open.

All canister positions must be allocated even if a canister is not fitted to that particular
station. In this case the canister position should be set to “not used” in the sub-
program. If one of the canisters is allocated “Espresso Coffee”, the machine will use
Espresso Coffee to make Cappuccino,Espresso and Espressochoc drinks. If no Espresso
Coffee is allocated, these drink selections will be made with ordinary coffee.

After selecting an option, the machine must be initialised using the initialise sub­program. This will set the drink disable settings, keypad configuration settings and
canister configuration settings which allocate the required drink selections and
ingredients to the correct buttons and canisters respectively.

15.

Non-Resettable Counters Sub-Program

1. The vend counters record the number of drinks/jug vends dispensed and the
prices charged for them.

When the vend counters sub-program is entered, the first drink counter is
displayed:

2. Pressing the ‘up’ and ‘down’ arrows enables the counters for each drink to be
viewed, but they do not allow the counters to be altered.

3. There is one vend counter for each drink, plus counters for each jug vend, total
vends and total sales vends. Additionally, an “Engineer Entry” counter is
incremented each time the Engineers program is accessed.

4. These counters cannot be reset and will remain intact for the service life of the
controller board.A “Total Vend” counter keeps a record of the number of vends
dispensed and is incremented each time a drink is dispensed.

16.

Ingredient Counters Sub-Program

1. This sub-program works in exactly the same way as the vend counters sub­program with the LCD displaying the weights of individual ingredients used.
Weights are displayed in units of one kilogram.

2. There is one counter displayed for each ingredient allocated to a canister in the
canister configuration sub-program.

3. When accessed from within the Engineers program, the counters are non
resettable.This ensures that a cumulative record is kept throughout the service
life of the controller board.

17.

Engineer Code Entry Sub-Program (Default 21 - 1121234)

Entry into the engineer code entry sub-program allows the engineer code to be
changed.This code may be of any length up to seven digits. Enter a new code at the
prompt and when correct, press access.

Note: If a zero code is entered, the machine will remain in the Engineers program

continually, so the zero code will have to be overwritten. A code of zero is
also entered if the engineer attempts to alter the code and then exits the sub­program without entering any number.

18.

Temperature Sub-Program

The temperature sub-program allows the parameters controlling boiler temperature
and temperature display to be altered.There are four parameters which may be altered.

1. Maximum Temperature

This is the maximum temperature to which the water will be heated and
maintained at and must be set to a value greater than the minimum temperature.

2.

Minimum Temperature

This is the minimum water temperature at which a drink may be dispensed. If an
attempt is made to vend a drink with the temperature below this value when
minimum temperature is enabled, the following message will be displayed:

3.

Minimum Temperature Enable / Disable

This feature allows the engineer to enable or disable the vending of drinks below
the minimum temperature.

4.

Temperature Display

Allows the actual temperature to be displayed (free vend only).

19. Software Version Sub-Program
The software version sub-program displays the serial number of the software version

running on the machine and is for information only.

Function Switches - Vision 300/400

Vision 300 and 400 models are fitted with
4 switches mounted in a panel located next
to canister 1.

These switches (figure 5) are used for the
following functions.

1.

Flush Switch: When this switch is
pressed the machine will flush through
the complete water system.

The “sorry not in use self cleaning”
message is displayed, the blocker
enabled and the controller waits until
the water is at the correct
temperature set by the thermostat.

In order to guarantee the highest
standards of cleanliness, the boiler fill
valve is disabled ensuring that the
water used in the self-cleaning cycle is
delivered at the optimum temperature to kill any micro-organisms which may have
accumulated.

Each hot water valve is switched on in sequence for a pre-set flush time.While the
valves are on they are “rattled” to remove any limescale deposits and their
corresponding whippers are run.

Once the flush cycle is complete the controller refills the boiler to the correct
level. When the correct water temperature is reached the machine returns to
standby mode, ready to make a vend.

2.

Counters Switch: When this switch is pressed the first drink counter is
displayed. The up and down arrows on the keypad enable the counters for each
drink to be viewed but not reset.

There is one vend counter for each drink,plus counters for jug vends,free vends,
total vends and total sales value.The total sales data is displayed in units of 1 penny.

3.

Reset Counters Switch:This switch enables the operator to reset the vend and
weight counters to zero.

To reset the counters, enter the operators program and press the switch. The
machine will give an intermittent bleep and flash the message (shown on facing
page) on the display.

The operator must press the cancel key to clear the display and return to standby
mode.This ensures that if the reset counters switch is inadvertently activated, the
operator is aware that the counters have been reset.

4.

Electronics On/Off Switch:When pressed, this switch completely disables the
machines electrical functions allowing the operator to safely carry out machine
cleaning and filling etc.
