DISABLE SWITCHES and DOOR TEST
1. Apply power to the SKYBOX.
2. Verify that the door lights work properly, they can be
turned on and off.
Possible causes malfunction:
· Cable between the door and cabinet missing, not
wired correctly, or not plugged in fully.
· Light switch mounted upside-down.
· Incorrect wiring, wires crossed from each starter.
· Wire not pushed into socket or contamination on
wire.
· Starter or lamp missing or not installed properly.
· 120VAC wiring error.
· 120VAC not working at test outlet.
3. Move all DISABLE switches down (turn OFF the
bins).
4. Hold the MAIN DOOR switch closed, leaving the door
open.
5. All 4 LED on the door should be ON. If not, fail.
Possible causes:
· The LED that is OFF might have the DISABLE
switch assembled upside down, along with a bad
LOW PRODUCT switch circuit.
· If all of the LED flash slowly, there is a bad
connection between the door and the MAIN PCB.
(Loss of communications between the MAIN and
FPP PCBs).
· If the LED are all OFF, there is a bad connection
between the door and the MAIN PCB (no power).
· If the LED are all OFF, there is a bad connection
between the bin set and the MAIN PCB (ribbon
cable unplugged or bad).
· If the LED are all OFF, there is no power to the
MAIN PCB: verify that the 12VAC transformer is
connected to 120VAC between the bin set and the
MAIN PCB (ribbon cable unplugged). There are 2
LED on the MAIN PCB. The top LED indicates
communications TO the FPP (located in the door);
the bottom LED indicates communications FROM
the FPP.
· MAIN DOOR switch circuit not wired correctly:
wrong connection at switch or connector not
plugged into the MAIN PCB. When the MAIN
DOOR switch is first held closed, the LED should
flicker off for a very brief time.
6. Push SELECT pushbutton 1. Only LED1 should turn
off while the pushbutton is pushed. If not, fail.
· If multiple LED turn OFF, there is a problem with
the door electronics.
· If all 4 LED fast flash only while the SELECT
pushbutton is pushed, the FLIPPER DOOR is
open (or other problem in FLIPPER door sensor)
· If the wrong LED turns OFF, there is a problem
with the door electronics.
· If no LED turn OFF, there is a problem with the
door electronics.
· MAIN DOOR switch circuit not wired correctly:
wrong connection at switch or connector not
plugged into the MAIN PCB. When the MAIN
DOOR switch is first held closed, the LED should
flicker off for a very brief time.
7. Push SELECT pushbutton 2. Only LED 2 should turn
off while the pushbutton is pushed. If not, fail.
· If multiple LED turn OFF, there is a problem with
the door electronics.
· If all 4 LED fast flash only while the SELECT
pushbutton is pushed, the FLIPPER DOOR is
open (or other problem in FLIPPER door sensor)
· If the wrong LED turns OFF, there is a problem
with the door electronics.
· If no LED turn OFF, there is a problem with the
door electronics.
· MAIN DOOR switch circuit not wired correctly:
wrong connection at switch or connector not
plugged into the MAIN PCB. When the MAIN
DOOR switch is first held closed, the LED should
flicker off for a very brief time.
8. Push SELECT pushbutton 3. Only LED3 should turn
off while the pushbutton is pushed. If not, fail.
· If multiple LED turn OFF, there is a problem with
the door electronics.
· If all 4 LED fast flash only while the SELECT
pushbutton is pushed, the FLIPPER DOOR is
open (or other problem in FLIPPER door sensor).
· If the wrong LED turns OFF, there is a problem
with the door electronics.
· If no LED turn OFF, there is a problem with the
door electronics.
· MAIN DOOR switch circuit not wired correctly:
wrong connection at switch or connector not
plugged into the MAIN PCB. When the MAIN
DOOR switch is first held closed, the LED should
flicker off for a very brief time.

!WARNING

What You Need to Know About
Safety Instructions
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in
this manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. Common
sense, caution and care must be exercised when
installing, maintaining or operating this appliance.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or
manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not
understand.
Recognize Safety Symbols, Words,
Labels
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration
products are still dangerous…even if they will sit for
“just a few days”. If you are discarding an old
SkyBox™ product, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.
•Remove the SkyBox™
personal beverage vendor
door (see page 13).
•Leave the storage bins in
place so that children may not
easily climb inside the unit.
DANGER
Electrical Grounding Instructions – This appliance
is equipped with a (3-prong) grounding plug for
your protection against shock hazard. It should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug. If the plug fails to fit into an
existing outlet, contact a qualified electrician to
update the outlet.
Your SkyBox™ personal beverage vendor should not,
under any circumstances, be operated when not
properly grounded.

Important Safety Instructions
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious
injury or death when using your refrigerated unit
and stand, follow these basic precautions,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To prevent injury, children should not climb, hang
or stand on any part of this refrigerated unit or
stand.
3. Use the refrigerated unit and stand only for their
intended purpose.
4. Observe all local codes and ordinances.
5. To prevent the possibility of hazard due to
electrical shock, never plug the refrigerated unit
in to a receptacle that has not been grounded
adequately and in accordance with the local and
national electrical codes. See warning and the
grounding instructions that follow.
6. Do not use a 2-prong adapter, extension cord or
power strip.
7. Disconnect the power cord to the refrigerated unit
before loading cans or bottles into it, cleaning,
servicing or replacing a light bulb. Disconnect
power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
8. The refrigerated unit power cord should be
immediately repaired or replaced if it becomes
frayed or damaged or if the plug will not fit
securely into the electrical outlet.
9. To prevent fire hazard, your refrigerated unit
should not be operated in the presence of
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
10. Keep your SkyBox™ personal beverage vendor in
good condition. Bumping or dropping the
personal beverage vendor and/or SkyBase™ stand
can damage them or cause them to malfunction
or leak. If damage occurs, contact a qualified
service technician for repair.
11. Always read and follow manufacturer’s installation
and operation instructions for items being stored
in refrigerated unit. Load cans or bottles into the
personal beverage vendor as described in this
guide.
12. Do not lift or move the personal beverage vendor
and/or SkyBase™ stand when it is loaded with
beverages or when the door is open.
13. The SkyBox™ personal beverage vendor is not
designed to dispense food items other than the
designated beverage containers outlined within
this guide.
14. Do not kick, pound, or push on the personal
beverage vendor and/or stand, as this may cause
the unit to tip or may damage the refrigeration
system.
15. The SkyBox™ personal beverage vendor is
designed to hold beverage containers within the
designated beverage shelf on top of the main
unit. Do not place additional items on top of the
unit.
16. Do not attempt to place fingers, hands or arms
through the beverage dispenser opening. If a
beverage jams in the SkyBox™ personal beverage
vendor, clear the jam using the instructions
provided on page 13 of this guide.
