electric machines generating strong disturbances might
cause malfunctioning of the vending machine electronic
control.
Install the vending machine in a protected environment
with temperatures varying between 10°C and 40°C. Make
sure that no tampering occurred during transportation,
checking that original packaging is intact and closed with
straps. Move the closed box near the installation area
(refer to "3 Handling and storage"), cut the straps and lift
the carton. Verify the state and the model of the vending
machine contained in the carton.
Check the contents of the accessory envelope attached to
the vending machine (refer to "6.2 List of accessory
equipment). Remove the vending machine from the

6-INSTALLATION

English
6.3 Electrical connection
The vending machine is pre-set for electrical operation with a
single-phase voltage whose value is stated in the
identification tag (Refer to "2.4 Vending machine
identification") (fig. 2).
Danger
The connection point of the electric outlet must be
located in a place that can be easily reached by the
user, so that he can easily disconnect the vending
machine from the power supply when required.
Before connecting, make sure that:
•The mains supply voltage of the outlet the vending machine
is connected to corresponds to the one indicated on the
tag.
•The electric installation of the place where the vending ma-
chine is going to be installed complies with the laws in
force, and has the characteristics enabling it to stand the
required maximum load indicated on the tag.
Check the electric installation's compliance with the safety
rules in force; in case of doubt, require an accurate electric
installation survey by qualified professional staff.
Danger
The use of adapters or patch cords is forbidden.
6.4 Fitting the PARALLEL 12 V d.c. coiner
Only 1 2 V d.c. parallel or mechanical coiners may be
used on this vending machine.
-Remove the token accepting device support (fig. 11).
-Drill a hole on the keypad panel (fig. 1 1).
-Insert the coiner and fix it by using the 4supplied screws
with nuts (fig. 1 2).
-Connect the flat cable to the coiner (fig. 12).

English
Danger
This operation should be carried out by the maintenance
technician.
The "Clock Module" device manages the following functions:
-the times when free dispensing is performed;
-Vending machine start up and shutdown times;
-the times when discounts or price rises should be
applied, and their amount;
-cleaning frequency
The following operations should be performed to insert the
module:
-disconnect the device from the power supply;
-open the vending machine door (ret. 29, fig. 1) and
remove the small door (ref. D, fig. 14);
-insert the module (ref. A, fig. 14) in the electronic board
connector.
Important
The module (ref. A, fig. 13j is inserted properly when the
reference mark is in the lower part (fig. 14).
-Re-fit the small door (ref. D, fig. 14).
-Re-close the door (ref. 29, fig. 1).
6.6 Insertion of the Nation key
Danger
This operation should be carried out by the maintenance
technician.
The "nation key" contains the following data:
-Language used by the display.
-Software settings connected with the country of
operation.
Important
The vending machine does NOT work without the "nation
key" inserted, it is therefore necessary to insert it.
After having inserted the "nation key", the machine will
refuse the introduction of keys for different countries.
10
To insert the nation key it's necessary to perform the
following operations:
-Disconnect the power supply.
-Open the vending machine internal access door (fig. 14).
-Insert the key (ref. B, fig. 14) in the electronic board
connector.
-Re-close the door.
6.7 Serial port connection
Danger
This operation should be carried out by the maintenance
technician.
A serial port (ref. C, fig. 14) is installed beside the "clock
module" connector.
Through the serial port the vending machine may be
connected to a Personal Computer or to the devices supplied
to the AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTRES in order to carry
out inspections and programming operations.
6.8 Affixing labels and stickers
Separate the accessory drink labels supplied with the
machine by following the broken line. Apply the adhesive
prices on the drink labels. Insert the tags in the special
housings (fig. 15-16) through the slots located in the internal
part of the door (ref. 29, fig. 1).
6.5 Insertion of the Clock module
