Refreshment Center Operators’ Guide

Section 6: Health Control

NOTE:

The following section applies only to the 780 Refreshment Center.

Refreshment Centers configured for Refrigerated Food operation (see "View Or Set Machine Configuration" on page 64), will have electronic health shutoff control software. Health Shutoff Control software is required by state and local health authorities and is a requisite for NAMA approval for perishable food vending.

Health Shutoff Control prevents the merchandiser from vending product that could be spoiled. It monitors the temperature within the cabinet, and will automatically go into an out- of-service mode should any of the following conditions occur:

The temperature of the refrigerated cabinet does not fall to 41° F (5° C) within 30 minutes after the door of the refrigerated cabinet is closed.

The temperature of the refrigerated cabinet does not fall to 41° F (5° C) within 30 minutes after a defrost.

The temperature of the cabinet rises above 41° F (5° C) for more than 15 minutes without the door of the refrigerated cabinet having been open, except within 30 minutes of a defrost.

For testing purposes, the temperature of the cabinet rises above 41° F (5° C) for at least one second with the refrigerated door open.

When the health shutoff control is triggered, the display will read,

configuration. When

the monetary door is opened, the message changes to

, and the

date, time, and maximum cabinet temperature reached are displayed. If the refrigerated cabinet door is opened and then closed, the health control timer will reset and the refrigeration system will have another 30 minutes to cool the cabinet below 41° F (5° C).

The out-of-service condition may occur during initial setup, as it will take time for the refrigeration system to cool the cabinet the first time. Therefore, National Vendors recommends leaving the refrigerated compartment empty until the cabinet temperature is low enough to satisfy the health shutoff control.

Health Control will not be operative for Refreshment Centers configured for Chilled vending (see "View Or Set Machine Configuration" on page 64). Perishable food must only be sold from a merchandiser configured for Refrigerated Food operation. Vending perishable
