Title: One and Done
Post by: 7-upslider on April 13, 2009, 06:46:42 pm
Hey guys,

Just got my Lacrosse 318-6 wired to the jones plug and to the coin mechanism.  My problem is that it will vend one can and won't reset itself unless you unplug it.  All the six flavors work, but the vending mechanism stays stuck allowing just one can out and then staying stuck until it's unplugged... Do i have something wired wrong to the jones plug? How do i get it to reset itself without unplugging it all the time.  Thanks

Jonny

some drop-chute machines have a delivery-switch located somewhere about the flapper/chute, which if it doesn't trigger the machine will still think it's in the middle of a vend-cycle & it will wait until that delivery switch tells it that it has delivered a can/bottle, then the coinmech will reset & accept another coin(s)

       I had a Vendo 80 with that problem last week. So best to just bypass that
switch?

Thanks Johnie.. How should I go about fixing that switch? Like moondawg suggested and by passing it? Will it still vend correctly.. I know you've given me the wiring for the jones connector already but you show hooking 6 wires up and I only have 5 to hook up? 1 black 1 white 1 gray 1 brown 1 pink/purple.... Right now the machine vends one can whether I put money in the coin mech or not.. But like I said just one can and it stays in the vend stage... I'm thoroughly confused.. Thanks agai. For the help...
