TRAY SETUP 
 

This section is used to establish the presence of and test the 
motors that are present in your machine as it is configured. It is 
also used to program the motors to operate per your preferences.

1. Test Motors 

Enter the selection number to be tested, or press 

* 

to see the 

following options for testing multiple motors.  

 
a. 

JOG TRAY 

– All motor positions on the selected 

tray will be tested. The display will show the number 
of the motor being jogged, or it will show a message 
that a motor is missing.  

b. 

JOG ALL 

– All motor positions in the vendor will be 

tested. Each motor will be turned only a very small 
amount, so that products loaded in the vendor will 
not be dispensed. The display will show the number 
of the motor being jogged, or it will show a message 
that a motor is missing. 

c. 

CHECK JAMMED 

– The control will attempt to run 

each motor that has caused a jammed motor error. 
The status of the motor will be displayed afterward.  

2. Link Motors 

The user can link selections to ensure even vending of dated 
products, or other “space-to-sales” functions. Linked selections 
are vended sequentially for better product rotation. Up to 40 
groups

can have motors linked together 

regardless of location or 

tray

. The linked selection with the lowest number is the master 

selection. All other linked selections are vended using the 
selection number and price of the master selection. Entering the 
selection number of any linked selection will default to the master 
selection number, and the control will vend the next linked 
selection in the sequence. If motors are linked- but not present (or 
jammed), the next available motor will run.  
 
From Tray Setup, select 

2-Link Motors

revert to its original value. All other linked selections in that group 
will remain unchanged.

number may be entered directly for faster access.  
 

# EXIT

Repeat for each linked selection.

refund).
