Press – # to save.
Press - * once. Display will read “DAY”.
Vending will now shut down every day.
You may want the machine to be on during the weekends.
To set the weekend on:
Press – 7 twice until it says Saturday OFF, (remember OFF means the shutdown times will not apply).
Press - # to save.
Press - * once. Display will read “DAY”.

Press - # to save.
Press - * until display shows “Interval 1”.
Now we need to set the times.
Press – 5 for the start time.
Press – 5 again to edit the start time. The start time is when the machine will START the
shutdown period and the vending will be inhibited.
Press - # to edit.
Enter the start time using the keypad, Remember it is military time enter 1000 for 10:00 or enter
1300 for 1:00 PM.
Press - # to save.
Press - * until display shows “Interval 1”.

period and the vending will resume.

1500 for 3:00 PM.
Press - # to save.
Press - * until display shows “Interval 1”.
Press – 9 until the display reads “Enable ON”. This is the most forgotten step. The timer must be
enabled for the shutdown to occur. At the end of the school year you can simply press 9 to turn
enable OFF and it will disable the timer but keep the settings for next year.
Press - # to save.
Press - * until display shows “Interval 1”.
Repeat this process for intervals 2-4 if needed. Remember they cannot overlap.
Press - * until you are back to your message and out of the service mode.
The vendor is now ready to shut down at the proper time and day. When the interval occurs, the
display will show “Vending Operation to Resume at “XX:XX” (the stop time set). If the set time
and day fall into the current time and day, the shutdown will occur on exiting the service mode
and the message will be shown.
