USA Technologies VendingMiser VM170 Ez Installation Instructions

VendingMiser
VendingMiser ® is designed to operate as an intelligent power controller for cold product vending machines. Note that
VendingMiser may not be used on any vending machine which contains perishable products.

General Theory of Operation

Using a Passive Infrared (PIR) occupancy sensor, VendingMiser will automatically shut down the controlled vending
machine when the area around it has been vacant for 15 minutes. However, VendingMiser will periodically re-power
the machine automatically to ensure that the vended product stays cold. In addition, VendingMiser contains a current
sensor which determines if the vending machine's compressor is operating and will delay power-down of the vending
machine until the compressor has completed its cooling cycle.
To install the VendingMiser, follow these simple steps:

Prepare For Installation

1. Unplug the vending machine from the wall outlet. If it is necessary to move the machine, be careful as it can be
heavy. Note-Each vending machine should remain on the same outlet/circuit breaker at the end of installation.
2. Remove ALL items from top of the vending machine. Using a clean cloth, care-
fully wipe the area as shown where the VendingMiser will be attached. Ensure the
area is dry when cleaning is complete. The surface temperature of the back of the
vending machine should be above 65F to ensure the Velcro adhesive adheres prop-
erly to the machine.

Install The VendingMiser

3. The VendingMiser will be placed on top of rear of the vending ma-
chine as shown below for each model. Carefully remove the white
plastic material covering the adhesive backing on the Velcro. Be very
careful not to contact the exposed Velcro adhesive prematurely to
the machine back, as it is very difficult to remove. First place the
VendingMiser on top of the vending machine without the Velcro
adhesive touching the machine back, then slide the VendingMiser
forward so the adhesive touches the rear of the machine in your in-
tended placement location. Press firmly to ensure good contact.
