12. PosiVend:™

PosiVend™ensures that a cup is always available in the cup station before any money is collected or product delivered. The sensing system is a beam of infra-red light across the cup station which is broken by the cup when it falls into posi-tion.

The PosiVend™ software monitors the cup station sensor during the time the cup ring is cycled and for three seconds afterward. If a cup is not detected, the soft-ware will first determine if a second cup ring with the same size cups exists and will then try to drop a cup from the second ring. If the second ring also fails to drop a cup or is not usable, the software will repeat the attempt from the first cup ring to attempt to clear any jams in the cup delivery area. Each ring will be tried up to two times. If a cup is still not detected by the infrared sensor then several things happen:

•Any ring that failed twice in a row is placed temporarily out-of-service for a length of time that is determined by the user,

•The customer’s credit is either restored for another vend attempt or is returned automatically,

•Three beeps are sounded and the message SELECT ANOTHER SIZE is flashed if another size cup ring is available, or the message INSERT MUG is flashed in the event that no other cups are available. The customer may always get his money back by pressing the coin return button.

INSERT MUG is the default message.

You may customize this message if desired.
