Branflakes104 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 On a USI 3037 (CD- there is a power switch to turn the machine on and off on the lower left corner of the outer door. Is there a way to modify the machine for a similar or even the existing switch to leave the vending functions alone and just control the lights? I'm thinking there has to be a way to add a switch before the balast I just don't see the wires leading there. The machine is in my shop/mancave so obviously the lights are not needed on all the time so for now I just have the bulbs out of the machine. Even better is there a universal motion sensor for these machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 On a lot of the older USI's the power for the light comes directly of the control board; I have had problems because a bad bulb can backfeed errors into the board. That may not be your setup. There is a product called Vendingmiser that provides a motion sensor to reduce power consuption, but it is probably an expensive solution for your situation. If this is your personal setup maybe install a separate light fixture and switch that you can control without breaking the bank.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Incorrect. The wiring for a light bulb is always a separate circuit in the machine from any on the logic board. Lights are never controlled by the logic board unless there is a light-switching relay activated by the board. This is only in newer soda machines. In the CD machines there is a light ballast and all you need for control of the lights is to introduce a switch into one of the two 110v wires feeding into the ballast.
