Absolute Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I am trying upgrade a BevMax 2 to a 4 and the board seems to have more black connections spots than my machine does. (If that makes sense) I have a few white wires that have no place to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I don't believe that upgrade is possible. The Bev 2 was it's own animal. The Bev3 came out to redesign the weaknesses of the Bev2 and then the Bev4 came out to redesign the weaknesses of the Bev3. The Bev4 board will upgrade the Bev3 with many other part upgrades also needed. Bevmax, Bev 2 Bev 3/4 are different generations with incompatibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible as mine was upgraded from a 2 to a 4. I believe it required installing some new sensors and door switches but I had a company do it.

AZVendor Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) The Bev2 was the Coke machine with the bubble side on the right and the belt delivery system. Even with an upgrade to it I don't think the machine is worth it, especially if you can still steal from it which was the whole problem with that design.

I think the bevmax you're thinking of is the bevmax 5000. The bevmax 2, to my knowledge, was the first generation with the picker cup and it's known as a 5800, as is a bevmax 3 or 4. A bevmax 4 would have a model number 5800-4. The 2-4 all have picker cups but the cup changed over time as did door switches, sensors added, and different cabinet modifications but the 5800-2 is definitely not the coke version with the conveyor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Yes, you're right. There weren't too many of the 5000s out in the wild because they were Coke-only. I only worked on a handful of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My former employer had some and they were down regularly, often because someone just wanted to steal a coke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
