When the Machine is turned ON the refrigeration unit switches to standby mode for two minutes, further
working according to the algorithm of the set mode.
 Ifat the timeof turning ON ofthe Machine theevaporator’stemperature (sensor№3) is below the
minimum temperature setting, the regulator switches the Machine into DEFROSTING mode. When the
temperature for Sensor 3 reaches minimum or above minimum value the refrigeration unit is switched to
STANDBY mode.
1.4.5.2 Standby
In the Standby mode the refrigeration unit is in fact turned OFF, the evaporator’s fan works as per the
mode set by the user and the sensor readings are obtained.
If the temperature for sensor 1 exceeds the “Max Temperature” settings and the defrosting time is
over – the unit switches to COOLING mode.
1.4.5.3 Defrosting
In the defrosting mode the refrigeration unit is turned OFF, the evaporator’s fan works in accordance
with the user given temperature settings and the temperature sensor readings are noted.
The length of defrosting time depends on the time of defrosting, which is set in the menu item “De-
frosting time”. At the end of the set time interval the refrigeration unit switches to the Standby mode. The
length of Defrosting time also depends on the reading s of Sensor 3 – if the temperature of the evaporator
would be below the minimum temperature settings the unit switches to Defrosting mode, or remains in this
mode, until the evaporator’s temperature would not exceed the minimum temperature value.
1.4.5.4 Cooling mode
In the cooling mode the unit is turned ON, the evaporator fan works in accordance with the user settings
and the temperature sensor readings are noted.
The duration of refrigeration unit’s working cannot exceed 30 minutes. At the end of the given period the
unit turns OFF and after an additional period of two minutes the Regulator switches to STANDBY mode.
If during the working of the refrigeration unit the temperature of sensor 1 drops below the value set in
“Min. Temperature” setting – the refrigeration unit turns OFF and after two minutes switches to STAND-
BY mode.
If the temperature for sensor 3 goes below the value set in “Min. Evaporator Temperature” settings –
the refrigeration unit turns OFF and switches to ANTI ICING mode
1.4.5.5 Anti-icing mode
The Anti-icing mode helps avoid the icing (freezing) of the refrigeration unit. In the given mode the re-
frigeration unit is turned OFF and the temperature readings of the sensor 3 are noted.
When the “Max. Evaporator Temperature” is reached – the Regulator switches to STANDBY mode.
To avoid possible icing, please use the recommended values for temperature settings.

1.4.5.6 Evaporator fan
The operational mode of the evaporator fan can be changed by the operator by selecting required set-
tings in the maintenance menu (Menu item – “Fan regulation”):
• Always ON (Menu item “Always ON”)
• On only during cooling mode (Menu item 0 “Only during cooling”)
• The fan works during the cooling and defrosting modes (Menu item “Cooling and defrosting
modes”)
When the vending machine is turned ON the evaporator fan turns ON automatically, independent of its
settings. When the refrigeration unit switches to COOLING mode or DEFROSTING mode the fan works
according to the settings selected in the menu item.
1.4.6 Main Board (controller)
The operations of the units and devices of the Machine are controlled using the Regulator.
The vending machine can operate in two modes according to the algorithm of the built-in software –
control software (hereinafter called the “Firmware”):
• Vending mode (Main operational mode)
• Servicing mode (for specialists only)
The main mode, in which the Machine operates – vending mode. In this mode the vending machine
serves the customers (sale, storage and dispensing of products). The Machine switches to this mode right
after it is turned ON.
Servicing mode – this mode is meant for testing the Machine’s equipment, parameter settings for nodes
and devices, regulation of Machine’s parameters and price regulation. The Machine switches to the Ser-
vicing mode upon the pressing and holding for 2-3 seconds of the relevant button (see section 3.4.7).
