should be placed on the base of the division right above the spiral, with label turned to the window so that
it is recognizable by the customer. All products have to be easily placed in the spirals; do not introduce
bigger objects. Spirals can have different pitches and therefore you should choose the spiral suitable for
the product you want to vend or vice-versa choose the product according to the spirals you have.
4) After having loaded all drawers, make sure that they turn to position "STANBY". They must be pushed to
the inner side of the cabinet.Each spiral can be turned each time of 45°. Most of the products can be sold
without troubles when the spiral end is positioned at hour 6. For brik products adjust the end 90° in
advance.
NOTE: Products in bags or boxes must be correctly placed. The sealed edge of the bag can slip under the
spiral wire not allowing the fall of the bag. It is recommended to fold the edge forward and upward before
inserting the bag in the space of the spiral.
Products like cakes, biscuits, "handle with care" objects, etc., should be placed in the lower drawers so that
they will not be damaged falling.

8.2.2 TO SET MACHINE PARAMETERS

Command 53 Enabling the photoelectric cells:
This command should be set at 1 only if the photoelectric cell system is installed. Its function is to
enable=1/disable=0 this device.
Set the command at 1 (photocells enabled), to automatically access the menu which allows this function to be
disabled if necessary for the desired selections (delivery without photocell control). To disable the option
corresponding to one or more selections, simply key in the selection number and then set the value at zero.
Command 54 Collimation of photoelectric cells:

This command is used for verifying that the photoelectric cells are functioning correctly. The 6 values shown
on the display refer to the intensity of the signal received by the photodiodes which constitute the reception
part of the photoelectric cell system. The values must be between 50 and 230 ± 5%.
Values below the minimum value indicate that there is a problem with the alignment between the transmitters
and the receivers, or that one or more transmitters/receivers are not functioning correctly.
Values above the maximum value indicate the need to install the attenuating filter (included in the filter). This
filter is essential in the M and S models. Once the correctness of the values has been verified simply press
any button for several seconds to return to the main programming menu.
Command 55 Setting the operating parameters of the photoelectric cell barrier:

This command permits viewing and if necessary changing the 2 operating parameters of the photoelectric
cell barrier. To switch from one parameter to another simply press key B. One by one the following 2 values
will appear:
Message Default value Meaning
"Hyster.HL" 80 This parameter acts on the reading sensitivity of the system.
Values less than 80 make the reading of the system more
sensitive. Contact the manufacturer’s technical assistance service
before changing these values.
"Timeout.HL" 80 (= 8 seconds) This value is the maximum time for removing the product and it
starts when vending begins.
Command 56 System’s operating options ("FTC Options "):

Setting this command determines how the machine will react if the product is not delivered. The value can be
set at between 0 and 3. Default = 0.
The meaning of the setting is as follows:
0 = Possibility of another selection; in this case command 63 (single-multisale) must be set at 1 (if it is an
executive payment system the multisale must also be set in the payment system).***
1 = Automatic credit delivery; in this case command 63 must be set at 0 (if it is an executive payment system
the single sale must also be set in the payment system).***
2 = Further quarter turn: if the product is not delivered the spiral completes a further 1/4 turn and if the
product has still not been delivered then the machine reverts to one of the preceding two options depending E
on the single or multisale parameter that has been set. N
This option is not applicable to the ½ turn spirals which must consequently be disabled. In order to do this, set G
the value 2 on command 56 to automatically enter the menu which permits the option for the individual spirals L
to be disabled/enabled. To disable the option relevant to a spiral simply key in the number of the selection I
and set the value at 0. Inversely by setting a value of 1 the option is enabled. If the payment system uses the S
Executive protocol, the single-multisale must also be set on the payment system.***
H
3 = Delivering the same product following another selection: in this case use command 06 to assign the same
code number and price to the selections that contain the same product. Therefore if after a selection the
product is not delivered, the machine considers that the selection is empty and automatically searches for a
selection that has the same product code number and the same price and then deliveres the product from
this selection. When all the selections with the same product code number are empty then the machine
returns to one of the two preceding options depending on the setting of the single or multisale parameter.
To “reset” the selections when they are being reloaded simply open the main door of the machine and insert
the feed key so that “MACHINE OPERATING” is displayed. Press the test push button, “SELECTIONS OK”
appears on the screen, remove the key and close the door.
There can not be selections with the same code number but a different price. When the machine is turned on
it carries out a control and signals any programming errors by displaying TEST 18 and the selection
identifiers. If it is an executive payment system and there are more than 7 selections with the same code
number which are “reset” but not loaded (they remain physically empty), after the door is shut carry out a sale
cycle for any one of these empty selections.***
***At this point the machine offers the choice of whether or not to enable the empty option (1 enabled, 0
disabled). This option operates in the 0, 1 and 2 modes previously set; if enabled, when a product is not
delivered ("not read by the photocell") the selection is considered empty and therefore no longer accessible.
To "reset" the empty selections simply open the main door of the machine and insert the feed key so that “
MACHINE OPERATING ” appears on the display. Press the test push button, “SELECTIONS OK” appears
on the screen, remove the key and close the door.
Once the operating function has been selected the machine suggests the activation or non-activation of a
sound signal while waiting for the product to drop. Use any of the buttons on the keyboard except “B” to
select either the activation “BEEP-ON” or the deactivation “BEEP-OFF” of the sound signal, and once the
desired option is displayed, press “B” to memorise the option .
Command 58 Diagnostic level:

To set the following option ONLY, enter the "programming mode” and when the
message “command 00” appears on the display press the “test” button again for a
further 3 seconds, after which the buzzer will sound again for a few seconds, and
access to the second level of the menu is obtained. The message "Command 00" will
appear again. To quit the programming mode press the “A” key .
The command can be set at 0 or 1. If the command is set at 1, in the event the selected spiral does not
complete the whole rotation, that selection goes out of order. Whereas if the command is set at 0 - the
default value - it does not go out of order.
Command 59 Entering the code for sales counter display:

This command is used for storing a 6-character code composed from any combination of the “A” and “B”
keys. When the machine is in stand-by and this code is keyed in the value of the sales number counter which
cannot be reset (see Command 09) is displayed for approximately 6 seconds on the screen. Example:
1. Programming mode, display shows ......................................................................................... Command 00
2. Key in 59 + key “B”, display shows......................................................................................... Code 000000
3. Key in “B”, display shows ........................................................................................................ Code _00000
4. Key in the desired combination of the characters “A” and “B” .............................................. Code ABBAB_
5. When the sixth character is entered the code is stored and the display shows.....................------ OK -------
N.B. If key “A” is selected in point 3, the main menu of the programme is called up and the code remains
unaltered. If a 0 is selected in point 4, the code is completely zeroed and the relevant function impossible to
activate.
E Command 60 Memory erasure:

N Activation of this command cancels all the data programmed by the user and the
G new default parameters determined by the manufacturer are automatically set..
L This command will display the message "Code 0000". All data stored in the memory of the machine will be
I erased by typing in code 6203 and pressing the B button. This function must be used very carefully to avoid
S the accidental loss of all data. Electronically the machine is as new. The message "memory cleared"
H appears on the display. The procedure for erasing the memory is as follows:
1. Go into programming mode to display ................................................................................. _Command 00_
2. Key in 60 and press the B button to display ............................................................................. _Code 0000_
3. Key in 6203 and press the B button to display ..................................................................._memory cleared
To exit the command press the “test” push button once.
Command 61 Resets the security/access code:

Allows the access code used in the EVA_DTS protocol to be reset.
Command 62 Enables the discounts:

A number of discounts are possible by keying in the following values at this command:
0 = no discount
1 = discount per time band.
2 = discount for key/credit card purchases (only possible in the MDB mode).
3 = discount per time band and for key/credit card purchases (only in MDB mode).
N.B. In order for the discount to be applied, the values of the time bands required must be set on the daily timer 2.
If the cashless system allows different price tables to be applied, the choice of the table to be used at
the moment of the sale is made automatically by means of the communication protocol between the
machine and reader (only possible for MDB cashless systems that feature this option).
Command 63 Setting for single or multivend:

This command determines the vend mode of the machine. With the value set at 0 the machine is working in
single-vend mode, and when the machine is fitted with a suitable coin mechanism the overpaid credit will be
returned automatically as change. Using a simple validator any excess credit is cancelled at the end of each vend
and the amount added to the total value of overpaid cash. If the value is 1, the machine is working in multi-vend
mode. After a sale any excess credit will be displayed and can be retrieved by pressing the coin return push button
or used for subsequent purchases. When an executive coin mechanism is fitted, this function is programmed
through the coin mechanism.
Command 64 Sets the message display language:

This command controls the language in which the messages are displayed. Value 0 corresponds to Italian, value 1
to English, value 2 to French, value 3 to German, value 4 to Dutch, value 5 to Swedish, value 6 to Finnish, value 7
to Spanish 8 to Portuguese 9 to Danish 10 to Norwegian. To display the messages in English, proceed as follows:

2. Key in 64 and press the B button to display the present value of the parameter .................................... _N_
3. Set Value 1 and press the B button.
Command 65 Displays the optional messages:

This command is used to modify the messages displayed by the machine in stand-by (machine ready for
vending). By setting the command at 1, the machine displays the message “insert card”, which can be used
when the payment system is the credit card type.
Command 69 Chooses functioning mode of the coin mechanism:

This command chooses the type and the mode of functioning of the coin mechanism. The parameter can
have the following values:
0 System EXECUTIVE with prices controlled in the machine
1 System EXECUTIVE in mode PRICE HOLDING (i.e. prices programmed in the coin mechanism). In
this case the prices programmed at command 03 and those programmed in the coin mechanism
have to be the same.
3 System EXECUTIVE with prices controlled in the machine and data control of AUDIT coming from
the coin mechanism (to enable the data sending of AUDIT see handbook of the coin mechanism).
4 System BDV 001 (see paragraph using the coin mechanism BDV)
5 Payment system MDB (see paragraph using payment system MDB).
Every time this value is altered, the vending machine must be turned off for a few
seconds. By switching it on again the machine and the coin mechanism will
communicate correctly. E

If the command is set at 1, when the connection with the MBD payment system is interrupted the vending
machine goes out of order and the message appears on the display; if the command is set at 0 (zero), the
option is disabled. The default setting is 0.
Command 28 Select change giving tube content counter:

This command allows the user to select whether to use the counters corresponding to the content of the coin
mechanism change giving tube or use only the counters inside the machine. If the command is set at 1 at
each power-up the counters inside the machine which correspond to the content of the change giving tubes
are updated with the values transmitted by the coin mechanism. If, on the other hand, the command is set at
0 the values transmitted by the coin mechanism are ignored.
Command 29 Cashless credit cannot be displayed:

This command allows the user to prevent or enable display of credit from the MDB cashless device (key or
card reader). If the command is set at 1 the credit corresponding to the cashless device is not displayed,
whereas if the command is set at 0 the machine also displays the credit available on the cashless device.

Command 36 Condition exact amount (no coins available for change):

This command is for setting (for each change giving tube) the number of coins below which the machine can
be considered to be in a condition of ‘no coins available for change’. The set value must always take into
consideration the coin minimum level in the tubes (command 32), that is it must be higher than the latter
(example: if command 32 is set at 5, the command 36 values must have a setting of 6 as their minimum
value). The tubes that are not included in this condition must be set at "0".
When the contents of any one of the tubes included in the condition drops below the corresponding set value
the machine displays the warning that there are no coins available for change.
