Title: Vendo 81B New wiring for light and light switch
Post by: sodaman on November 02, 2009, 10:48:24 am
Does anyone have  step by step instructions for the rewiring of a Vendo 81B  light and light switch.  I need this for a guy and I don't have a 81 with the liner off right now.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!!

The guy just gave me this info about his machine:
It has the original wiring. switch was missing. have new switch with 2 blue and 2 black wires. supposedly the exact switch for this machine. I only see 3 wires in door, a black, a blue and a white - all coming from further down the door. the white appears to have been attached to the top of the flourescent fixture by a screw. appears to have been another wire attached there also. does this help and can you tell me how the wires are supposed to be attached? thanks

I can show you a basic florescent lamp schematic if that helps... the four-wire switch is used for a manually started door lamp, (push it in until the lamp-ends glow red, then release it to light the lamp) the diagram shows the door light that uses a "F" series starter ( F2, F25..etc.)

If you want to use a 4/wire manual-start switch, connect the blue wires in place of the starter unit, & replace the black wires where the on-off switch is in the diagram.
