INTRODUCTION
Dixie-Narco’s FlexPak3000 Vender is the next "generation" of equipment that will revolutionize the industry
by providing a piece of equipment, in three models, that will serve your entire business. The FlexPak3000 will
provide full package flexibility with increased product capacity and exceptional space-to-sales. Each of the three
models utilize standardized parts, delivery platform, and a refrigeration system that is 100% CFC-free.
The FlexPak3000 also incorporates electronics to meet the growing need for accountability, multi-pricing,
programmability, and system diagnostics. Along with these functions, DEX/UCS - communications to a hand-
held computer is required for the bottling industry to provide the ability to measure each vending location for
product performance, vender performance, and accessing accounting data. The data obtained can be used to
maximize the efficiency of the truck routes for servicing venders. DEX communications provides the bottler
security for the integrity of the "cash in" versus the "product sold".

INSTALLATION AND SET-UP
Please read this manual in its entirety. Repair and maintenance of this vending machine must only be performed
by authorized and competent technical personnel. If you have any questions, please call your local bottler,
distributor, or Dixie-Narco for assistance.
Receiving Inspection
Upon receipt, inspect the FlexPak3000 for shipping damage. If there is any damage, have the driver note the
damage on the Bill of Lading and notify Dixie-Narco. Although I.C.C. regulations require that the consignee
originate shipping damage claims, Dixie-Narco will gladly help if you must file a claim.
Unpacking The Vender
Remove the stretch wrap and top covers from the vender. If flavor cards were shipped with the vender, they will
be in an envelope affixed to the back of a vender in the shipment or in the cash box.
NOTE: DO NOT STORE THE VENDER OUTDOORS WITH STRETCH WRAP ON. THIS
COULD CAUSE THE STRETCH WRAP TO BOND TO THE VENDER’S SURFACE,
WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE FINISH.
Remove the shipping boards from the bottom of the vender. The shipping boards are attached by the leveling
legs. Remove the shipping boards by unscrewing the leveling legs. This will avoid unnecessary damage to the
leveling legs or the base. A 1-1/2" "socket-type" wrench should be used on the bottom of the leveling legs. Be
sure to replace the legs after removing the shipping boards.
To open the vender, locate the door lock keys which are secured inside the coin return cup. After unlocking the
door, rotate the "T"-handle counter-clockwise until the door can be opened. Once inside, check the coin box on
the door for any additional parts, pricing labels, or information concerning factory equipped accessories. Check
the "T"-handle for proper alignment and locking functions. Check the lamps for proper installation.
WARNING: INSURE THAT POWER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE VENDER OR THAT THE
POWER INTERRUPT SWITCH (IF PROVIDED) IS NOT DEFEATED BEFORE
INSPECTING OR REPLACING THE LAMPS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY SUBJECT THE USER TO THE RISK OF INJURY OR
ELECTRICAL SHOCK WHICH CAN BE SERIOUS OR FATAL.
Electric Power Needed
Refer to the FlexPak3000 serial number plate to determine the proper voltage and frequency the machine
requires (domestically this requirement is 115 volt, 60 hertz). The vender will operate at +/- 10% of the specified
voltage for domestic models - this is between 103 volts and 127 volts. Single phase, alternating current is
required. The vender must be plugged in its own properly rated circuit with its own circuit protection
(fuse/circuit breaker).
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

6
Ground The Vender
The FlexPak3000 is equipped with a three wire power supply cord and MUST be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN OR IN ANY WAY BYPASS THE GROUNDING OF THE
FLEXPAK 3000. If the outlet will not accept the power cord plug, contact an electrician to install a proper
AC outlet.
WARNING: Failure to comply with these instructions may subject the user to the risk of
injury or electrical shock which can be serious or fatal.
Placing The Vender On Location
CAUTION: DO NOT TRANSPORT THE VENDER TO OR FROM THE LOCATION WHEN IT IS
LOADED WITH PRODUCT; DAMAGE TO THE VENDER MAY RESULT.
The vender must be located on a solid, flat, and level surface.
The vender must be positioned close enough to an electrical outlet that an extension cord is not required. If
securing the vender to the floor or wall is required, call the Dixie-Narco Factory Service Department for
suggestions.
Level The Vender
Level the vender. When the vender is level, the door can be opened to any position and it will not move by itself.
Open the door to several different positions before deciding that the vender is level. Make sure that all of the
leveling legs are in contact with the floor. If you cannot level the vender, select another location. Do not place
any objects under the machine.
DANGER: THE VENDER MUST BE PROPERLY LOCATED AND LEVELED TO MINIMIZE
THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH FROM TIPPING IN THE EVENT OF MISUSE OR
VANDALISM.
Space The Vender
Do not block the rear of the vender. Maintain a minimum of 10 cm (4 in) from the wall to insure adequate air
flow to the condenser and compressor. At the front of the vender, make sure that nothing obstructs the air
intake at the bottom of the main door. At the rear of the vender, make sure that nothing obstructs the air exhaust
at the bottom of the cabinet.
Installing Flavor Cards
The flavor cards are inserted in the selection buttons. On non-TBV machines, swing the coin changer mounting
plate away from the outer door exposing the back of the select buttons. The flavor cards are inserted in the back
of the selection buttons from either side or remove the flavor card carrier. Ensure the flavor cards are placed in
the select button flavor card carrier position that corresponds to the module in which the product is loaded.
Install the flavor card carrier back in position. In TBV machines, carefully remove the select button lens from the
select button. Insert the flavor card in the lens. Snap the lens back in position in the select button. Ensure the
flavor cards are placed in the select buttons that correspond to the module in which the product is loaded.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The hardware configuration for the FlexPak3000 consists of a cabinet control board, a door control board,
and a display board or a door/display board combination. The select panel consists of low voltage switches and
interfaces directly to the door control board.
The vend mechanism is 24V DC. The vend mechanism interfaces directly to the cabinet controller.
The main (primary) fuse is located either on the transformer mounting plate or on the cabinet control board.
The cabinet control board is the main controller. It supports up to twenty vend mechanisms. It senses product in
the delivery chute and controls the dispensing from modules. It also controls the door control board and the
collection of money and change payout.
The door control board reports the status of the door to the cabinet control board. It reports the status of the
door switch, select panel, service switch, DEX port, changer, and note acceptor. The door control board enables
and disables the changer and note acceptor. It also tests the display as commanded by the cabinet control board.
The vend sensor recognizes the product being delivered and reports directly to the cabinet control board.
The door switch is included to determine door accesses. A service switch, located on the door control board, is
used to access accounting data and programming features through the front select panel.
The DEX interface supports both an internal connection as well as an external connection. The interconnect is a
1/4" phono jack as specified and approved by the NAMA. The initial hand-held devices supported are Norand,
Mars MEQ, Fujitsu, and lap top PC’s. All electrical specifications, protocols, and baud rates are identified in the
specification.
A real time clock (RTC) with battery backed memory is provided so memory can be maintained during power
failures. The life expectancy of the battery is five years shelf and ten years operational. The real time clock is
displayed in military time (24 hour clock). It is used for time stamping door closures, power outages, limited
access, and selection discount pricing.
Early display boards consist of four, seven segment LED’s to provide alpha-numeric characters. Current boards
consist of four, fourteen segment LED’s to provide clearer alpha-numeric characters. Also, the exact change
indicator consists of an LED.
The intelligence of the cabinet (main) controller is a Motorola 68HC11 microprocessor. A minimum of 64K of
Eprom and 8K of ram (battery backed) is provided.

13
FLEXPAK 3000 AUDIT FEATURES
The FlexPak3000 provides two methods of accessing audit data. A limited amount of audit information is
available in the service menu. More extensive audit information is accessible electronically.
SERVICE MENU
Six types of audit data are available in the service menu: Historical Data (Hd) which includes total cash
collected, total vends and the total number of vends by each selection; Resettable Data (Rd) which includes total
cash collected since the last counter reset, total vends since last counter reset, and total number of vends by each
selection since the last counter reset.
The audit data is accessed by pressing the service switch. The display will show "Hd". Pressing select button 1
displays the total cash collected by the vender. Pressing select button 2 displays the total vends by the vender.
Pressing select button 3 displays the total number of vends by each selection. Each selection is automatically
scrolled across the display. Pressing select buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously will move to the next function. The
display will show "Rd". Pressing select button 1 displays the total cash collected since the last counter reset.
Pressing select button 2 displays the total vends since the last counter reset. Pressing select button 3 displays the
total number of vends by each selection since the last counter reset.
EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC COUNTERS
External electronic counters are used to show historical total vends, interval product counts that have occurred
for prices being used, and interval product count for each selection from outside the vender. To set or change
the four key code see "Ecnt" on page 19. To show the current data, hold the four keys programmed for five (5)
seconds. The display will show historical total vends. To view other data:
Press and hold select button 1: Show historical vends.
Press and hold select button 2: Show list of prices and interval product counts that have
occurred for those prices.
Press and hold select button 3: Show interval product count for each selection.
Press and hold select button 4 Resets interval data. "COUntErS rESEt" will scroll across
For five (5) seconds: the display.
Press any select button greater than four or two (2) minutes of inactivity will return vender to normal
operation.

14
ELECTRONIC ACCESS
A much more extensive amount of audit information is accessible electronically. It is retrieved with a portable
data collection device and typically loaded into a computer at a central location. The data can then be tracked
with a database, for preparing route stocking lists, tracking cash flow, doing inventory control, and other tasks.
Data collection devices are available from several sources, including Norand, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Telxon,
Verifone, and Mars. Dixie-Narco currently collects data with a PC program running on a portable notebook
computer.
The FlexPak3000 uses the DEX/UCS protocol as the method of exchanging data with the portable data
collection device. DEX/UCS was formally adopted as the standard method of collecting audit data for the
vending industry by the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) in April of 1991. DEX/UCS
has been used in related industries since 1989. It was developed by the Arthur D. Little Company and is
administered and maintained by the Uniform Code Council (UCC). The NAMA Vending Electronics
Standardization Committee developed and published a comprehensive set of data records relevant to the vending
industry. The FlexPak3000 reports the portion of these related to this specific machine design. The current
list of records and their usage by the FlexPak3000 follows.
DEX stands for Direct Exchange of data, which means there is a hard-wired connection between the two systems
exchanging data. This is done by inserting a 1/4 inch phone plug on the portable data collection device into a
jack mounted on the FlexPak3000 door controller. Inserting the plug automatically initiates the exchange of
data, which takes several seconds. No other machine functions are available while the exchange is taking place.
Most of the data records are reported in both an interval and historical format. The historical values represent a
total of the values since the machine shipped from the factory. The interval values are the data collected since
the last time it was collected electronically.
The following types of audit data are accessible electronically:
Machine Identity Information
Date and Time of Interrogation
Cash Sales Summary
Cash Input and Output Summary
Product Sales Information
Machine Configuration
Events: Door Openings Interrogations
Time of Day Discounts Programmable Access Limits
Sold-out Selection Information
In addition to retrieving audit data, every machine configuration parameter that can be programmed in the service
menu can be programmed electronically via the DEX port.
The following types of data can be configured electronically:
Machine Identity Limited Access Control Parameters
Price & Product Information Space-to-Sales
Date and Time Time of Day Discounts Control Parameters
*Escrow Mode
* Escrow mode cannot be transferred with the Norand device.
