Programming Manual 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.

Programming Manual 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: TIME = ??:?? - 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.

Programming Manual 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.
Programming Manual Operators Program The nine sub-programs within the Operators program are as follows:- Operations Sub-Program Drink Price Sub-Program Alternative Tariff 1 Sub-Program Alternative Tariff 2 Sub-Program Alt. Price Period Sub-Program Vend Counters Sub-Program Weight Counters Sub-Program Time/Date Sub-Program Operator Code Sub-Program Vision 100 Drink Price Sub-Program Alternative Tariff 1 Sub-Program...

Programming Manual Operations Sub-Program - Vision 100 Models This sub-program allows access to the following functions: (a) Service: When accessed, this function allows the operator to test vend each drink selection, for example after carrying out the cleaning procedure. (b) Self Clean: This function allows the operator to flush the entire mixing system.

Programming Manual 3. Tariff 2: Prices set in the tariff 2 price sub-program. 4. Tariff 0: Sets the machine into free vend. The machine is factory set so that no alternative prices are available (i.e. the normal tariff is permanently in force). To change the tariff period for Vision 300 and 400 machines, proceed as follows:- On entry into this sub-program the display will show the message: P1 = 00:00 - 00:00...

Programming Manual “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: PERIOD 10:30 - 15:45 TARIFF 2 EVERYDAY 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.

Programming Manual These counters can be reset by the “reset counters” switch. 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.

Programming Manual Press the access key to set the time and exit from the program. The date is entered in Day, Month, Year format. In this example it is assumed that a date of 25th April 2002 is to be entered. Enter the time/date sub-program.

Programming Manual Press button 1. The display will read 25:04:01. Using the up/down arrows, scroll through until the display shows: 25:04:02 Press access key to set the date and exit from the program. To set the time and date on machines with 9 and 12 selection buttons, proceed as follows: The time / date sub-program displays the time, date and day of the week.

Programming Manual Engineers Program (Default 21 - override 1121234) Each time the Engineers program is entered, an “Engineer Entry” counter is incremented.This acts as a security feature, ensuring that the Engineers code may not be used without leaving evidence that the program has been entered. The sub-programs which make up the Engineers program are as follows:- Drink Sub-Programs Ingredient Coefficient Sub-Programs...
Page 19
Programming Manual 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: On entry into the ingredient sub-programs, the first ingredient to be displayed is the ingredient which constitutes the major part of the drink.
Page 20
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.
Page 21
Programming Manual display will still indicate that it is ‘ON’.This prevents damage to the motors. 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.

Programming Manual Upon entry into the initialise sub-program, the display will show the message: USE ACCESS KEY FOR INITIALISATION To initialise the machine, press access.The display will now show: INITIALISED 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.

Programming Manual by the name of the drink allocated to that button: BUTTON 1 = COFFEE Use the up and down arrows to view the drink application assigned to each button. 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.

Programming Manual 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. Flush Time This setting is the period of time that a valve is opened during a flush cycle.

Programming Manual After selecting an option, the machine must be initialised using the initialise sub- program. 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.

Programming Manual 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 sub- program without entering any number.
Programming Manual 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.

Programming Manual 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. COUNTERS RESET 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.
Programming Manual Pre-Set Values The tables on the following pages illustrate the pre-set values for all of the parameters which may be changed in the Operators or Engineers programs.These are the values with which the machine leaves the factory. If the “Initialise” sub-program is activated, each one of these values will be restored into the memory of the controller.
