5.1.3. Lockout Input (UV Shut Down):
Is UV lamp working? The lockout input allows an external device to disable the controller, such as
an external water purity monitor, a flood switch, UV lamp, or any other device supervising the
controller operation. A contact closure on this input will allow the controller to operate normally
and an open will disable the controller. If this input is not used, place a jumper between Lockout
and Common.
The Lockout mode switch controls how this input will operate.
In the OFF position: If a lockout condition occurs while the controller is vending, it will first
complete the vending and then go to lockout. If a lockout condition occurs when the controller is
idle, it will lockout immediately. The controller will automatically reset and be ready to vend when
the lockout is no longer present.
In the ON Position: If a lockout condition occurs, it will stop any vending immediately and go to
lockout. The controller will NOT automatically reset and requires a manual reset from a
technician. This is normally the position when a UV Lamp, or Flood Switch controls lockout.
When the controller is in lockout, it will go "Sold Out" and will not accept any coins. The Status
Display will indicate "U" when in lockout.
For UV lamp monitoring, choose a UV lamp assembly with an internal circuit that monitors the
lamp and has an isolated relay output to indicate a failure. This relay output should be connected
to the Lockout Input, or in series with any other lockout device. Contact closure = UV good.
5.1.4. Vend Switch Input:
The Vend Switch Input is connected to a switch on the front of the machine. This switch is used
to start vending. This switch becomes enabled after money is placed in the machine, and the
selection has been made. If you want the machine to vend immediately upon making the
selection, and do not want to use the Vend Switch, then simply turn ON Option switch "Option 1".
For calibration purposes, connect the "Vend SW" output located at TB11-1 on the rear of the
board to the "Vend Sw" input located on the front of the board. The Selection switch will act as
the vend switch during calibration, and vending will begin upon making selection. This connection
can remain in place. The Vend Switch is required for the Bottle Rinse Cycle and Pause options.
5.1.4.1. Vend Switch With Pause Option:
When the Pause option is selected, the Vend switch also serves as a Pause-Continue switch.
With the Pause option enabled, pressing the Vend switch during vending will cause the vending to
stop for a period of one minute. If the Vend switch is again pressed during the Pause, vending will
continue. If one minute is exceeded, vending will terminate, and will not continue. The pause can
be used intermittently until the selected volume of water has vended.
5.1.5. Bottle Rinse Switch Input: (Leave open if not used)
The Bottle Rinse Switch input is connected to a switch on the front of the machine. This switch is
used to start a rinse cycle, if the rinse cycle option has been selected. This switch becomes
enabled after money is placed in the machine, and the selection has been made. The user has
the choice of proceeding with a bottle rinse prior to starting the vending of water, or ignoring the
rinse cycle and going straight to the vending. A Rinse Valve relay output is provided to operate a
separate Rinse valve, directing the water through a separate nozzle. If a separate rinse nozzle is
not used the rinse water will come from the same vend nozzle. This switch will become inactive
after the bottle rinse cycle has completed, and after a vend cycle.
The optional bottle rinse cycle works as follows. Upon activating the Bottle Rinse Switch, the
Rinse Valve Relay will turn on and the pump will start. The pump will operate for a period of time
and then stop.The amount of water dispensed during the rinse cycle is approx. 1/16th of the
volume of water being purchased. This amount is automatically determined by the controller.
