Technical Manual

2.3 Connecting the Electrical Supply

ELECTRICAL POWER NEEDED
Refer to the Machine serial number plate to determine the correct voltage and frequency.
In the US and Canada this is 120Vac, 60 Hz, 1P.
The serial number plate also specifies the ampere rating of the Machine.
The Machine must be plugged into a properly rated receptacle with its own circuit
protection (fuse or circuit breaker).
Equipment Nominal Power Requirements:
120V / 11 A = *1320W (1.320kw)
*Note: Watts = V x A
POWER SUPPLY CORD and GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
In accordance with the National Electrical Code and Underwriters Laboratories Inc.,
Domestic Vending Machines are equipped with a three-wire Power Supply Cord and
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI device is provided as part of the Power
Supply Cord and is either incorporated directly into the plug or mounted on the cord
adjacent to the plug.
The GFCI protects against current leakage caused by ground faults. The GFCI is not
designed to protect against over current or short circuits.
DO NOT use the TEST and RESET buttons on the GFCI as an ON/OFF switch.
The Vending Machine supply cord MUST be plugged directly into a properly grounded, 3
wire receptacle that is properly protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. If the receptacle
will not accept the power cord plug, it must be replaced with a properly grounded, 3
wire receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and Local Codes and
Ordinances. The work should be done by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT USE A 3 WIRE TO 2 WIRE ADAPTOR.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN ON THE PLUG OR IN ANY WAY BYPASS, MODIFY,
DEFEAT, OR DESTROY THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE VENDING MACHINE.
DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD
DO NOT REMOVE THE WARNING TAG ATTACHED TO THE POWER SUPPLY CORD.
The GFCI must be tested frequently and before each use in accordance with the
instructions provided on the GFCI device. IF THE GFCI DOES NOT PASS THE TEST, DO NOT
USE THE MACHINE. Unplug the supply cord from the receptacle and call the Crane
Merchandising Systems Technical Support Group for assistance at 1-803-266-5001. It is
recommended that the Machine be located so that the GFCI device will be accessible after
the Machine is installed. After installation, visually inspect the GFCI and power supply cord
to be sure it is not crushed, pinched, or stretched. Protect the power supply cord during
transportation and use. Periodically inspect the power supply cord for damage. If the cord
or plug is worn or damaged, it must be replaced with a power supply cord of the same
type, size and specification as originally provided with the Machine.
