MASTER/SLAVE

The machine control system is pre-arranged for the con-
nection in a bank of vending machines using special kits.
This permits the use of a single payment system for more
machines.
In the event of installation in a bank of machines, it can be
configured a “Master”, i.e. having control over the second
machine, or as “Slave”, i.e. leaving the control to the other
machine.
To be able to use this function there must be a numeric
keypad within the bank of machines.
There is the option of installing a numeric keypad in the
machine for managing the slave machines without keypad
and display.
The master/slave function is not enabled by default.
To enable the function, it is necessary to define which
machine is master and which one is slave in the software
of the master machine and of the slave machine.
If an Executive payment system in “Price Holding” mode
is set in the master machine, the information must be set
also in the software of the slave machine.
The payment system of the slave machine must always be
defined as “validator”.
In the event of failed electrical connection, both machines
will display the message “failed communication”.

COMBINED SELECTIONS

A combined selection is intended as the association of two
selections, one from the Kikko and one from the Snakky,
to the same number (80 to 89) sold at a single price.
Since a numeric keypad is required for setting and control-
ling the combined selections, the relevant menu is in-
cluded only in the software of the Snakky.
Combined selections can be used either with the Snakky
as master and Kikko as slave (recommended configura-
tion) or vice versa. If one of the two selections is not
available, the combined selection is not dispensed. If the
immediate change option is not activated on the master
machine, it might be possible that the first selection fails. In
this case the entire amount is returned. If the second
selection fails, it will be possible to decide whether to keep
or return the entire amount by activating/deactivating the
“Virtual change return” option.

RESET SLAVE

This function is used for resetting the programming of a
slave to default values.

MONITOR

This function is used for scrolling through all the informa-
tion of a slave being connected.
When switching on the slave with the display showing this
function, the display will indicate in a sequence all informa-
tion on the slave regarding:

- software version

- type of slave (XX, 0XX, 9XX)

- presence of dispensing detection photocells

- number of trays and compartments

- presence of dispensing compartment lock device

- internal sensor temperature.

To exit the function it will be necessary to switch the master
machine off.

SELECTIONS

The selection menu is composed of various sub-menus
which allow setting of the different parameters.

WATER DOSE

The water dose (expressed in flow-meter pulses for es-
presso models and in cc for instant models) can be set for
each selection button and therefore each product as-
signed to such selection; the display indicates the name of
the product being selected.

WHIPPER CONTROL

The whipping time can be set for each selection button, for
each water dose that composes such selection.
The duration can be set in two different modes:

Absolute

i.e. independent from the solenoid valve opening time. The
whipping duration is set as tenths of a second for Instant
models and as volumetric counter pulses for Espresso
models.

Relative

i.e. based on the difference, plus or minus, from the
moment the solenoid valve closes.
The whipping duration is always expressed in tenths of a
second.

SOLENOID VALVE FLOW

It is possible to set the water flow rate of the single solenoid
valves expressed in cc/s (the default value setting in cc/s
is indicated in the selection dose table) to calculate the
amount of water to be dispensed.

SOUND SIGNAL DELAY

To allow the drink to flow completely from the mixer to the
cup it is possible, for each selection, to set a delay time after
the actual end of dispensing for the signal of “end of
dispensing” to the user.
