vendo 511 sold out on all the selection
vxl65703 replied to vxl65703's topic in Beverage and Food Vending
issued turned out to be a mix between a blown fuse and a bad control board Blown fuse was caused the light balast, so I unplugged the lights, replaced the fuse and control board.. So far so good.... Thanks for your help. -
What does that have to do with just giving them keys to use in the machines? If they turn the keys in every day then you know where the keys are. You don't think that's how we have all done it for the last millineum? So you're going to sit at home and wait for your assistant to call and ask to have a machine unlocked? Please explain more about your plan to further diagram how this will work for you.

I am looking into bringing on an assistant to help with restocking, I want to be able to control access.

I would be very careful about going too "tech" in areas where you need to keep it simple. As AZ is saying, you need total control over access into your equipment. This idea is almost like leaving a key in the coin return on every machine. Once someone sees how you enter your equipment and then starts to investigate further, it's not a stretch to believe that a hack will be out there to circumvent your locks. Let's all remember the KIS method Keep It Simple

Crane National 677 with "No Float" error
AZVendor replied to DFazzio's topic in Coffee Vending (OCS)
Sorry, but I mistook the probe for the float. First check that your float does move up and down and satisfies the high and low level switches and that they click. Use the drain hose to perform that test. The error could be due to a bad switch and those are easy to replace. If the float doesn't lift up to the high level then it's waterlogged and could create the error along with maybe overflow the tank. If the new switches don't solve this then your driver board is bad. The float harness connects to J84 on the board so make sure it's a good connection. -
Hot Beverage coin accepter program
Vendo Mike replied to Jetson40's topic in Beverage and Food Vending
There were several mfg options for this style coin acceptor. I would look more closely at the labels on the acceptor itself to learn the make/model and then search from there. -
I think i misunderstood the part you were recommending me to replace. When you said probe did you mean the temperature probe? I thought you meant the float as in the ball. That's why I was asking about taking the tank off.

AZVendor started following Remote-Wifi vending locks
-
I see no Pros to that lock, only Cons. What happens when they don't work? Drill them out. How would you even use them - what is the benefit to you? For not carrying keys around and unlocking from your phone? That would be just laziness. I would always want to know where my keys are and on my phone is not a secure answer. What would happen when you lose that phone or it's compromised?

What if for whatever reason your phone can't connect to the lock? Will there still be a traditional key lock to grant you access?

Crane National 677 with "No Float" error
AZVendor replied to DFazzio's topic in Coffee Vending (OCS)
You should be able to remove just the tank lid but if you have to do that then the tank needs to be cooled off and you'll need a tank lid seal too. -
For removing the top of the tank, am I going to need to remove the whole tank?

Rule of thumb for OCS supplies mark up?
AngryChris replied to Zachsea's topic in Coffee Vending (OCS)
I have found that people won't pay 100% markups. Since cheap coffee is pushing $28/case and namebrands are in the realm of $40/case, businesses just won't spend $50+ on cheap coffee or $80+ on max/folger because there are sources online to have it delivered much cheaper. It's unfortunate that it's like that nowadays but I think covid really drove delivery services up and now OCS is something you have to do as a package deal with vending to really make it worthwhile. I shoot for getting $5-$10 per case. Big companies around here have the driver drop off the coffee with their regular service cycles and the push is to do OCS, water, and other services in addition to regular vending. The margins are getting much thinner but they can make it work that way. -
I did regular snack/drinks at a couple laundromats but the owner did his own machines for everything else. One was in a low income area. It was pretty busy but kids always put trash into the machine jamming it. People would shake the machines regularly, there were a couple attempted breakins, etc.. They did okay but not good enough to deal with that.

Wittern 3500 switches outlet off everytime plugged in
AZVendor replied to Jeffery Cheng's topic in Beverage and Food Vending
At "your place," if you have it on a weak circuit breaker or an overloaded circuit or on a long extension cord or a small gauge cord then that would be why it trips. -
AZVendor started following Anyone know where to purchase a Wittern 3572 Combo Fan?
-
Okay, which fan? The condenser fan in the back of the cabinet or the evaporator fan inside the impossible-to-get-apart-without-destroying-it-because-it's-glued-together condensing unit? I think both fans are square body EPM fans since that's what they used from that generation on, so Mouser is a good source though you might find it at Grainger too.

Ballast, transformer, or an Evap fan? Did anyone try to convert it to direct wire LED?
