  • Page 6: Cautions

    Power Requirements The wall receptacle used for your vendor must be properly polarized, grounded and of the correct voltage. Operating the QB4000 system from a source of low voltage will VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Each QB4000 system should have its own 15 Amp electrical circuit that is protected by a circuit breaker or fuse conforming to local power safety regulations.
  • Page 7 CAUTION! Different countries may have different power arrangements. Ensure that the machine is properly grounded before operating. CAUTION! If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized service agent or a similarly qualified person to avoid electrical hazards. ATTENTION! This dispensing machine is very heavy.
  • Page 8: Initial Setup

    Initial Setup Moving the Vending System Your QB4000 system should never be moved with product or coins loaded, it should be completely empty, and any moving parts must be secured. The system can be located as close as 2 inches to the back wall but requires 6 inches clearance on either side for the doors to open properly while you service the machine.
  • Page 9 Tool Kit Suggested tools for your tool kit are: Phillips screwdrivers Adjustable pliers Needle Nose pliers Socket Set including 5.5 mm, 7 mm and 10 mm Leg Levelers Leg Levelers have been provided in your parts pack as it is essential for proper operation to have a level vending machine.
  • Page 10 Theory of Operation for Snack & Entree Trays When a snack vends, power is sent to the motor (that drives the coil) and it turns until the motor hub is back to the internal “home switch” then it stops and the vend is considered to be complete.
  • Page 11 Products Make sure your products are appropriate for the column and coil you are placing them in. Do not force products that are too wide into a narrow tray or too tight coil as this will cause vend problems for your customers.
  • Page 12: Removing Snack Trays

    Removing Snack Trays It is sometimes necessary to replace a snack tray or you may find it easier to work on certain elements of a tray if it is removed from the vending system cabinet. Figure 5 – Tray Harnesses Tray 110 Harness Tray 120 Harness Tray 130 Harness...

    Figure 6 – Remove the tray Tray 130 Harness Lift tray free Adjusting Coils If you are required by a location to vend a product of a non-standard size, you may need to order a different coil and install it. Replacing a coil is easier with the tray removed, as described in the last section. To replace a coil: 1.
  • Page 14: Replacing Snack Motors

    If you are experiencing vending issues with certain products, you may need to adjust the coil rotation to better provide the momentum to push the snack off the tray and into the delivery area. To adjust the coil rotation: 1. Squeeze the two tabs on the back of the coil driver and pull the coil driver and coil toward the front of the tray to remove it.
  • Page 15: Loading Product Lanes

    Theory of Operation of Beverage Vending The beverage section uses two (2) Drop Sensors (vibration sensors) to detect the product drop. In normal operation, the auger will rotate counterclockwise to drop a product onto the delivery chute. Upon detection of the product drop by these sensors, the motor (driving the auger) will stop and the vend is considered complete.
  • Page 16 Unlike the snack section of the vending system, the products that will vend are not viewable by your customers when they are positioned in the vertical drop columns. To provide a live display, a product display shelf has been provided. Take care to use packaging that is in perfect condition and products that are still within their expiration date to present the best possible retail store front to your potential customers.

In sales mode, once a coupon is accepted, no further coupons will be accepted until a successful vend has been made. If no value is set, coupons will be shown as free vends.

  • Page 30 COMBO Combos are a group of 2-5 selections that can be sold together for one price. For example, a price of $7.50 the customer will be able to purchase a bagged snack (110), a snack from the third tray (131) and a drink (142) which will all vend when the Combo Selection is used. If the customer purchased these items separately it would cost them more. Combos are used to encourage higher vend amounts through discounted pricing. Up to five Combos may be set up. Combos are product specific so when you list the Combos for a machine you will want to list the specific products. We recommend that you show the savings with a Combo versus buying the selections individually via some sort of signage or electronic display.
