Spen Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Bought a soda+candy Crane National Vending machine, model 474. It has the main control board and everything, however I bought it used and the owner doesn't know the master password to change prices. How can I reset it? Thank you for any help, if you need more information, just ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 There's a manual on one of my threads I think u hold a sequence of numbers. These machines are great I like how easy they are however I have some that don't vend a column sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falls Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 http://www.cranems.com/Manuals/NV/1670024.pdf Although not listed I think this is a RC2 machine. The controls seem to be the same for all RC machines. I don't think you need a 'master' password although you may need one to access the supervisor mode. Factory default is 0000 (refer p4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks, I'll look and see if I can fix it! I know you don't need a masterpassword, howerver the old owner locked down everything and you need a password, that he forgot to unlock everything. I see in the .PDF you linked to: IMPORTANT! If you enter a new code, be sure to keep a written record of it. There is no other way to access the SUPERVISOR mode. Really? TKK: I didn't see in any of your topics how to reset the code!

Spen Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Well, playing around with different codes, I found the right code! However, it scares me, because I think my machine would be useless without a code, and that's just bad programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, all you would have to do is send the board back to the factory and have it reprogrammed to original factory settings. Even if it can't be flashed, worst case you would need to put a new control board in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venddoctor Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I believe this machine has the same board as the 147/148 and that there is a way to retrieve the lost code, I don't recall the exact procedure but it involves jumping 2 pins on display board then pressing a couple of keys on the programming keypad. Call National Vendors and they will tell you how it is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendors Tech Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Mission is right. We reprogram boards all the time, and it completely resets them. All you really need to do is clear the Dallas chip and replace the eprom, all for about $50 and you have a brand new program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello. I need a file with a memory copy for crane 147 or similar. The previous owner set up a password he does not know.The language version does not matter. Photo of the original layout M27c256b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
