darkinthepark Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 What would be the best way to turn off vending on a Merlin IV soda machine while leaving it plugged in so that it keeps the product cold. I would need to turn it off for a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Unplug the MDB harness to the bill acceptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkinthepark Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Thanks. I guess I should unplug the machine before unplugging the MDB harness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalCityVendingLLC Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Correct. Either unplug from the wall, or flip the power switch inside a machine before messing with MDB cords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Power switch? ?? You can pull the fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 What Chris said.... fuze should be inside top of the outer door, probably in a square holder. Will shut down power in the door but should leave the compressor and thermostat active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The fuse will power down the board to allow unplugging harnesses, but the refrigeration system gets its instructions from the board. Merlin IV is all electronically controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I stand corrected (well, I am actually sitting...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I didn't even think about it to be honest. I was really thinking.. "is there a power switch that I don't know about?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falls Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Is there a reason you aren't using the "timer controlled selections mode" in the programming? That should enable you to turn off one or more (all) selections for specific times of day, or days of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use the timer programming...but this was a temporary request to turn off vending for a couple days. i didn't want to have to bother with reprogramming the machine.
