What **** I looking for when a vendo 576 is vending more than 1 soda at a time?

If a Vendo 576 is vending more than one soda at a time, check the column’s depth setting. The depth setting controls how many products are dispensed per cam sequence. If set to double, triple, or quadruple depth, the machine may dispense more than one item before reloading the bucket. Adjust the setting to single depth if only one soda should be vended per purchase.
This will minimize the potential hazards that are inherent in electrical and mechanical devices. Vendo has no control over the machine once it leaves the premises. It is the owner or lessor’s responsibility to maintain the vendor in a safe condition. See Section I of this manual for proper installation procedures and refer to the appropriate service manual for recommended maintenance procedures.
SECTION I: VENDOR INSTALLATION Vendors are large, bulky machines of significant size and weight. Improper handling can result in injury. When moving a vendor, carefully plan the route to be taken and the people and equipment required to accomplish the task safely. Remove all tape, shipping sealant, and Styrofoam from the vendor.

SECTION I: VENDOR INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) For Type 1 and Type 2 outlets, test for Grounding and Polarization as follows: With a test device (volt meter or test light), connect one probe to the receptacle’s neutral contact and the other to the live contact. The test device should show a reaction.
SECTION I: VENDOR INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) Door Support (Figure 2) The door support is to ensure that the outer door closes squarely to the cabinet. Raising the door can also ensure proper alignment of the door latch. FIGURE 2 Door Latch Alignment (Figure 3) After any door adjustment, the floating quicker lock assembly should align itself automatically.
SECTION II: ELECTRICAL HAZARDS GENERAL Vendo vending machines are provided with the appropriate power supply setting for your area. Some models are equipped with step-down transformers, as required. This enables the vending machine to operate on different main voltages. Refer to Section I. E. for information to determine the main power requirements.
SECTION II: ELECTRICAL HAZARDS (CONTINUED) Servicing with “Power Off” For maximum safety, unplug the service cord from the wall outlet before opening the vendor door. This will remove power from the equipment and avoid electrical and mechanical hazards. Service personnel should remain aware of possible hazards from hot components even though electrical power is off.

WARNING: THIS VENDING MACHINE INCLUDES MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT WHICH CAN BE HAZARDOUS IF IMPROPERLY HANDLED OR SERVICED. USE CAUTION AND CONSULT THE VENDO SAFETY MANUAL AND THE VENDO SERVICE MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION. WARNING WARNING RISK OF SHOCK RISK OF ENTRAPMENT...
SECTION IV: REFRIGERATION HAZARDS GENERAL Refrigeration systems involve both electrical power and mechanical action. These systems may present any of the potential dangers shown in the sections on electrical and mechanical hazards contained in this manual. See Sections II and III for further information.
If questions arise, contact the Technical Services Department of the Vendo office in your area. When servicing the vending machine, always reassemble all components to their original location and position. Maintain the correct routing for tubing, electrical wiring, etc.

SECTION VI: SUBSTITUTIONS AND MODIFICATIONS (CONTINUED) WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. IMPORTANT! The wires in the main leads are colored in accordance with the following code: 110v/120v 220v/240v Green Green and Yellow ......Earth White Blue...........

GAS ISLAND VENDOR INSTALLATION PROTOCOL Vendo Gas Island Vending Machines have been evaluated by UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc. ) for placement at service stations which the NFPA (National Fire ® Protection Association) considers a hazardous location. These vendors must be correctly installed and inspected per the following protocol before they are put into service.
MOUNTING TO PEDESTAL VENDOR PEDESTAL FLAT WASHER LOCK WASHER HEX BOLT 1/2"-13x1 1/2" FRONT AND REAR COVER IMPORTANT - INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Electrical equipment, such as vending machines, installed within a 20-ft. radius of a gasoline dispensing unit must meet safety specifications of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 - Article 514 - Gasoline Dispensing and Service Stations, NFPA 30A - Automobile and Marine Service Station Code, and the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

GENERAL INFORMATION This manual contains programming, operation, and complete parts and electrical wiring diagrams. The V-Max controller is a microprocessor which will permit pricing per selection from 0.00 to 99.99. This machine also has space-to-sales programming as well as energy savings modes.
If the power requirements are not properly met, contact a licensed electrician and have the necessary correction made. Should you require additional information, contact the Technical Services Department of the Vendo office in your area. 3/2002...

VEND MECHANISM PARTS DESCRIPTION The parts listed below are part of the vend motor mechanism (refer to Figure 10 on page G-9). One mechanism is required per column. The parts are interchangeable. Setting will differ between single, double, triple, and quadruple depth. VEND MOTOR ASSEMBLY: P/N 1115821 The motor is attached to the mech plate by three screws.
Page 31
GATE LINK: P/N 1120140 The rotation of the vend bucket moves the gate link. This opens the gate, allowing one layer of product to drop into the bucket. GAGE BAR: P/N 1111651 The gage bar holds the product(s) inside the bucket. It also regulates which product is vended first when double, triple or quadruple depth settings are used.
Page 32
VEND CYCLE Several operations take place during the vend cycle: When a selection is made, the cam and bucket rotate, product is dispensed and the bucket is then reloaded. The sequence of these operations change slightly when the column’ s depth setting is changed. With the single depth setting, one purchase is made and the bucket is reloaded.
Page 33
RELOADING SEQUENCE (See Figure 12) RS1. The gate link rests at a locked position in a cut out on the mech plate. This locked position prevents the gate from opening out of sequence. RS2. The gate link is guided by a slot in the mech plate and is actuated by a ridge on the bucket.

MAINTENANCE The following section is a basic guide for general maintenance and servicing of the vendor. This section is divided into three parts: (I) Preventative Maintenance, (II) Lubrication Guide, and (III) Care and Cleaning. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS: Whenever a vendor is visited on its site, the following service should be performed. Preventative maintenance will help prevent future problems with the vendor.
Page 122
III. CARE AND CLEANING DO NOT USE WATER JET FOR CLEANING. AVOID USING WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS NEAR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS GENERAL PROCEDURE (painted metal areas) Wash vendor with soap and water. The exterior may be waxed with any good automobile wax.
REFRIGERATION OPERATION The refrigeration operation section is divided into three areas: Basic Refrigeration Principle, Detailed Vending Machine Refrigeration Cycle, and Parts Description. BASIC REFRIGERATION PRINCIPLE What a refrigeration system really accomplishes is the transfer of heat. A refrigeration system removes the excess heat from a refrigerated area and then transfers it to a condenser where it is dissipated.
Page 124
The following is a detailed refrigeration cycle as it applies to the refrigeration system installed in Vendo equipment. (Refer to the flow chart in Figure 1.) As the air temperature in the cabinet rises, the electronic temperature sensor reports the air temperature to the electronic controller.
