Figure 4.1.  Suggested Placement 

Consult local, state and federal codes and regulations before installation of the vending machine.  

To minimize installation time and to avoid service problems due to improper installation, follow the instructions outlined in this manual. 

Position the vending machine in its place of operation no further than six feet from the power outlet or receptacle and check that the door will open fully without interference. Leave at least four inches of space between the back of the machine and any wall or obstruction for proper air circulation. 

Level the vending machine, making sure all levelers are touching the floor. The vending machine must be level for proper operation. If it is properly leveled, it should not "rock" or "teeter" on any of the levelers. When the vending machine is level, the door can be opened to any position and not move by itself. Try the door half-closed, straight out and in a wide-open position before deciding that the machine is level. 

Remove all shipping brackets, tape and inner packing material from the vending machine. Operating the vending machine without removing the tape and packing material could result in damage to the vending machine.  

Grounding (Earthing) & Electrical 

Before connecting the equipment, the integrity of the main electrical supply must be checked for correct polarity, presence of ground (earth) and correct voltage. Repeat these checks every six months with the routine safety electrical testing of the equipment itself. To correct negative voltage, amperage, polarity, or ground (earth) checks, consult a licensed electrician.  

A noise suppresser has been installed in this machine to compensate for any mains signal noise that could interfere with the normal operation of the controller.
