PROGRAMMING CHECKLIST

NOTICE: Do not enter the programming modes of this control

without
authorization and proper training.

The leading cause of vendor malfunction is a control board that is not

properly programmed. When installing a new board or when trying to trouble
shoot a vendor that is not operating as expected, follow these steps in the
order listed.
1. Space to Sales (SSS). Confirm each selection has the correct column(s)
assigned. Confirm each column is assigned to at least one selection.
As a starting point, assign columns to selections using the Quick Set
(SSSS) Mode and pressing the last selection button (Selection 9 or 10
depending on model).
2. Options (OPTS) & (OPT 2). Check the settings for each of the different
options. As a starting point, set all options to factory settings.
3. Price Setting (COST). Set each selection to desired price from .00 (Free
Vend) to $99.95
4. Timer Control (TCTL). If an optional timing device or key switch is
installed, check that the selections are set as desired. (Be sure the
optional timing device is operating properly.)
5. When exiting “Service Modes” (i.e. actuating the door switch) you must
wait 30 seconds before the vendor will accept coins or bills.
For detailed instructions, refer to the Service and Operation Manual or call the
Technical Services Department of The Vendo Company at 800-344-7216 or
559-439-1770.
