OPERATION AND SERVICE
ELECTRONIC REQUIREMENTS
24 Volt AC
The power connection for the machine is on the circuit
board of the Coin Mechanism. The terminal block for
incoming power is located on the lower left corner of
the Circuit Board. You will have to lift up the
Cover/Instruction sheet to locate this terminal block,
which is black in color.
BE CERTAIN TO SUPPLY 24 VOLTS/AC
TRANSFORMER POWER REQUIREMENTS
The minimum power required for each vender is 1/2
amp (500mA). To run multiple venders on a transformer
first determine the total amperage required, taking into
account future additions. To determine the amperage
output of a 24 volt transformer that is given in VA, divide
the VA output by 24. For example, a 100 VA transformer
would provide 4.2 amps (100÷24) of 24 volts AC power.
This would be ample power for 8 venders.
INSTALLATION
The vender can be mounted on any vertical surface
without removing any part of the unit. Any standard
fastener not larger than 3/8" diameter such as wood
screws, expansion bolts, machine bolts or carriage
bolts can be used depending on the type of wall. The
vender weighs 45 lbs. empty.
The top two fasteners should be loosely installed in
the wall with the heads of the fasteners projecting out
approximately 1/4" from the wall. The keyhole shape
of the mounting holes will permit you to hang the
cabinet on the two fasteners. While in this unsecured
position, mark the bottom mounting holes on the wall
to accurately align the lower fasteners, if necessary
remove the cabinet. Install the bottom fasteners to
secure the cabinet.

COIN MECHANISM FEATURES
The vend count is displayed when the MODE button
is pressed once. The number displayed is the total
number of products sold since initial installation of
this vender. The counter is non-resettable so it can’t be
tampered with. You can now implement inventory
control on your vending products.
The vender will be factory set to vend at $2.00. To
change the vend price, press the MODE button 2 times,
the display will show a ‘P’ and the current price setting.
Now change the price with the UP or DOWN buttons
and press the MODE button once more to cycle back to
the ‘run’ mode.
Pricing is adjustable from .25¢ to $9.75.
COVER/INSTRUCTION SHEET
To access vend count:
Press MODE : Total cans vended since initial power up.

COIN ACCEPTORS
SLUGBUSTER – SINGLE COIN
This acceptor sends 1 credit pulse to the LED
display for every coin or token entered. The fac-
tory setting is $0.25 for every credit. This can be
changed if quarters are not accepted. For
instance, if a token with $0.50 value is only to be accepted,
then the base coin credit value (the ‘A’ value) must be changed
to 0.50. To change this value, press and hold the MODE button
until the LED display reads . Now use the UP or
DOWN buttons to change. Press the MODE button to return to
the run mode.
If dollar coins are only to be accepted, then follow the same
steps and change the ‘A’ value to 1.00. Remember to insert a
sample coin into the coil of the Slugbuster.
MA-800 – MULTI-COIN
This acceptor will take up to 6 different coins,
or tokens, and the value of any coin can be pro-
grammed in. Quarters are pre-programmed in
switch #6 and dollar coins in #5. Refer to the
enclosed MA-800 instruction manual for programming instruc-
tions if tokens or any other coins are to be accepted.
When programming in any new coins, it is recommended to
remove the acceptor from the coin mechanism frame and drop
the 6 sample coins in by hand. Optimal programming will be
obtained by dropping the coins in the acceptor by hand rather
than by running the sample coins down the metal coin chute.
To remove the MA-800 acceptor from the coin mechanism
frame, loosen the 2 mounting screws on the front face of the
coin mechanism, unplug the white ribbon cable, then lift up the
coin mechanism to detach it. Remove the 1 screw holding the
MA800 in place and pull it out to begin the programming.
Do not unplug the MA-800 from the circuit board when
programming, as it needs power to operate.
MICROCOIN QL – MULTI-COIN
This acceptor will take up to 12 different
coins, or tokens, and the value of any coin
can be programmed in. Quarters are pre-pro-
grammed in switch #10 and dollar coins are
in #11. Refer to the enclosed QL instruction manual for
programming instructions if tokens or any other coins are
to be accepted. Do not unplug the QL from the circuit
board when programming, as it needs power to operate.

LOADING
Load cans from the top of the column, always alternating
the cans with cap left, cap right, etc. This ensures that the
cans will move freely down the column. Do not drop the
cans down the column as the cap may separate from the
can partially and cause a jam when dispensing.
The LED display will continually flash &
when the empty switch activates, even though there will
be 1 can remaining. Coins will be returned if the vender
is sold out or if there is a power outage.
COIN MECHANISM REMOVAL
To remove the Coin Mechanism from the can column,
first unplug the wire harness that is on the right side of
the mechanism. Now loosen, but do not remove, the
2 mounting screws and lift the coin mechanism up to
remove it.
