SETTING UP OF THE MasterfoodsUSA BRANDED VENDOR
To exit any mode of the VMC (Vending Machine Control Board):
Close the door.
No operation for 5 minutes.
Depress the mode switch, advances to next mode.
Initiate a transaction.
1. After removal of the packing material, check for any visual damage. Also checking the SIDE DECALS
and FRONT LEXAN for any separation, scratches and proper seating.
2. Check the plug, making sure that there are no breaks in the plug / wire.
3. Plug into wall socket. Does the display scroll the correct message (YES / NO) If yes, continue to #4, if
no, refer to the troubleshooting guide, which is attached.
4. Check the STS setting. Depress the mode button four (4) times. Depressing the mode switch once
from the Test Vend Mode also enters the Space to Sales Inquiry Mode.
Upon entry, the words "STS INQRY" will appear on the display.
Depressing a selection switch will cause the display to show that selection switch's column assignments,
e.g. "COLUMN A1". If more than one column is assigned to a selection switch, then the display will
rotate sequentially through all columns assigned to that column. When all columns have been displayed,
the display will show "STS INQRY". If no columns are assigned to a particular selection switch, then the
display will show "NO ASSIGN" for approximately two (2) seconds and two (2) audible beeps will sound.
The display will then show "STS INQRY". Refer to label affixed to the inside of the inner door for correct
STS configuration.
To change the STS programming follow the steps listed below:
Use the matrix below to document the STS before entering the programming of the machine

The Entry Code Mode is entered when the door is opened and the mode switch is depressed six (6)
times. Depressing the mode switch once from the MIS Display Mode if the entry code has not previously
been entered since the last door closure or service timeout also enters the Entry Code Mode.
Upon entry, the words "ENTRY CODE" will appear on the display. In order to enter the Space to Sales
Programming Mode or additional modes for the VMC, an entry code must be keyed in.
NOTE: If the correct entry code is not keyed in, the depression of the mode switch will
cause the VMC to enter the Operate Mode.
The entry code is entered by depressing selection switches #3, #1, #4 and #2 in sequence, followed by a
depression of the mode switch in order to proceed to the Space to Sales Programming Mode. Once the
correct entry code has been keyed in, it will not need to be keyed in again unless the door has been
closed or a five-minute service timeout has occurred. Depressing the mode switch once from the Entry
Code Mode if the entry code procedure was completed successfully enters the Space to Sales
Programming Mode.
The operator can specify a preset STS setting, or he can create a totally custom configuration. It is also
possible to specify a preset STS and then to modify it slightly. Note that at any time (while in the STS
mode), switches 11 & 12 can be used to restore the previous STS configuration.
The switch functions are given below:
Selection # Description Selection # Description
1 Moves to Previous Screen 2 Moves to the Next Screen
3 Decrements the Value 4 Increments the Value
5 Moves the Cursor Left 6 Moves the Cursor Right
7 Enables / Disables 8 Enables / Disables
9 Goes to Previous Module 10 Goes to Next Module (A to B)
11 Restore 12 Restore
The VMC’s Space to Sales is configured via 13 screens/lines. The 1st
screen/line is used to specify if a
“Custom” or “Preset” STS is used. For each selection (1 – 12), there is an additional screen/line used for
setting its STS. Using Selection Switches #3 and #4 accesses the screens/lines.
Once the desired screen/line is being displayed, selection switches #5 and #6 are used to move the cursor
to the desired position. Once the cursor is at the desired location, selection switches #7 and #8 are used to
change the setting.
Note that selection switches #9 and #10, also move the cursor (multiple positions per depression).
Switches #11 and #12 will restore the STS to the setting that existed before the mode was entered.
NOTE: If a machine enters the Space to Sales Programming Mode and
transitions through all of the columns without any selection switches being
depressed, the machine will have all of its columns unassigned and will be
out of order.
5. Check the label racks for product and that the compressor is cooling.
6. Check that POS and selection labels are installed correctly.
7. Set the pricing for the machine. Refer to the location's invoice for correct pricing. To
set prices refer to page 7.
8. Check the coin mechanism and bill validator for acceptance, testing each selection.

5
9. Document the total sales (AUDIT NUMBERS) by depressing the selection switches in the
following order: 4,1, 3, 2 the display will show T xxx, this is the total number of vends, which
is the starting number for the customer.
10. Affix bill validator label to the bill validator in the event that it is missing from the bill
validator. Should you need to order, use MEI part number: 250057025
11. In the event that the location requires an Armour Bezel, use MEI part number: 250061038
12. Refer to your MasterfoodsUSA HUB Operator Technical Manual, to order additional flavor
strips at no charge.
NOTE: Remember to document any failures that you may encounter, however
small it may appear.
Loading of Products
Check the machine configuration for bar and bag products before loading. All product modules should
have labels indicating exactly which products must be loaded. If any are missing, please contact Mars
Vending on 1-888-627-7863 and depress 1 for Customer Service.
Pull each product module out such that products can be loaded into the machine. Only one product
module must be loaded at a time. Refer to Figure 1.
1) Bar products, Figure 2, are loaded from one side of the product module only.
2) Bag products, Figure 3, must be loaded from each side of the product module, as the
module has 2 doors for full access during loading.
No gaps should be left between products. It is essential that ALL spaces be filled.
Ensure that the product module door is closed after loading.
Note: Bag product loading
1) Ensure that the seam is facing upwards when loaded.
2) Ensure that the product is evenly distributed in the bag.
Note: Bar product loading
1) Ensure that the seam is facing upwards when loaded.
2) Ensure that the product is evenly distributed in the bar.
3) Ensure that the modules are returned to their 'home' position after loading. This can be

Coin Changers - General Information
Acceptance of nickels, dimes and quarters with dollar coin accept/reject switch. The
changer is preset to accept both US dollar coins.
High or low quarter level. - The level of quarter storage in the coin tube is switch-
selectable.
Escrow - Dependent by the Vending Machine Controller (VMC) of the MasterfoodsUSA
Series 2000 Branded Confectionery Machine.
Fewest coin payout - Coins of the highest denomination are selected for change, by the
VMC of the MasterfoodsUSA Series 2000 Branded Confectionery Machine, enabling the
changer to pay out the coins.
Price setting - Dependent on the VMC of the MasterfoodsUSA Series 2000 Branded
Confectionery Machine.
Minimal moving parts for coin acceptance and separation - Valid coins enter the
changer through a solenoid-operated Accept Gate. If the coin tube for the accepted coin is
full, the coin goes directly to the cash box. If the coin tube is empty, a solenoid-operated
Separator Gate diverts the coin to the tube. Dollar coins, if accepted, are always directed to
the cash box.
Individual coin tube overflow - Electronic sensors monitor the full/empty status of the coin
tubes. Each tube is monitored individually to maximize coins available for change.
Easy cleaning and maintenance - No special tools are required for cleaning, or normal field
maintenance of the changers.

VN4510 - General
When coins are inserted into the Series 4000 changer, they pass two electronic sensors that
measure coin diameter, material and thickness. These measurements are sent to the
microprocessor where they are compared with predetermined coin acceptance parameters.
If the coin measurements are outside the parameters, the accept gate remains closed and the
coin is rejected. If the measurements are within the parameters, the coin is accepted. The
accept gate opens and the coin travels past the strobe sensor which signals the central
processor to transmit the credit to the Vending Machine Controller (VMC). At this point the coin
enters the separator. The separator will route the coin to the proper coin tube or the cashbox,
depending on the level of coins in that particular tube. Along with the credit, the changer
transmits other information to the VMC as well.
Once a vend has been completed, the VMC must calculate the change due back to the
customer and transmit that amount to the changer. The changer then pays back coins from the
change tubes, if required.
Keypad Operation
The keypad (Figure 5) is made up of four blue buttons (labelled A, B, C, and
D) and one yellow button (mode). The keypad has several functions and will
be discussed here.
Manual Dispense:
Blue buttons correspond to the letters on the top of the tubes.
Momentary press of button releases one coin.
Press and hold button will pay out coins continuously.
Press and hold button for 3+ seconds then release will latch the
dispenser; coins will continuously dispense until the tube is near empty
or another button is pressed.
Homing the Dispensers:
Press the Mode (yellow) button twice with the cassette fitted or not
fitted.
Without the cassette fitted, press A, B, C, or D
Figure 5: VN4510 Keypad

Shifted Functions (using the yellow Mode button)
NOTE: The shifted mode must be entered by pressing the yellow
Button for two seconds.
Observe that the red LED will begin to flash.
Once in the shifted mode, if no further button is pressed, the shifted mode will 'time-out'
in 15 seconds and the changer will return to the normal mode.
Any special function mode is exited automatically if no button is pressed or coin inserted
for 45 seconds. If this happens, any changes will be abandoned.
Float Up*
Press the mode button until the LED starts to flash, then press A. Insert tube coins
through the validator. Coins will be routed to the tubes but not reported to the vending
machine.
Full levels are:
5¢ = 70
10¢ = 102
25¢ = 70 (If dip switch 3 is 'on', 25¢ stops at the low sensor)
$1 = 54 (If dip switch 2 is 'on', $1 stops at the low sensor)
Press mode or A to exit float mode.
Coin Teach (Figure 6)
In the unlikely event that changer will need to
have the coin parameters re-taught, follow
these steps to quickly re-teach only the
coin(s) that need calibration.
Choose the coin you wish to re-calibrate and
follow button sequence from the table at right.
(Remember to hold the mode button for 2
seconds).
Insert 20 examples of required coin into the acceptor
(the coins will be rejected). NOTE: Be careful to insert the relevant coin.
The 21st coin will be accepted and the LED will stop flashing. Changer returns to
the normal mode. Repeat the process for other coins (if required).
Figure 6: Coin Teach Sequence

18
Coin Inhibit / Enable
This feature allows the user to inhibit (or re-enable) a particular coin.
Select the coin you wish to Inhibit / Enable from table (above). Use the same button
sequence for the desired coin (as you would to teach).
By pressing the coin return lever, you toggle the inhibit status.
For example, by pressing MODE, C, B you enter the 10¢ teach function. If the 10c coin is
currently enabled to accept, then pressing the return lever will inhibit the coin. Or.... If the 10¢
coin is currently inhibited, then pressing the return lever will enable the coin.
NOTE: There is NO visual feedback as to whether coin is enabled or inhibited.
Token Teach – VN4510
To teach the tokens into the free vend channels use the following
instructions.
Token #1
1) Press Mode (Yellow button for two seconds)
2) Press B button
3) Press A button
4) Drop 20 token samples (they reject and LED stops flashing for each
sample)
5) 21st token sample accepts and routes to cash box and changer returns
to normal operating mode.
Token #2
2) Press B button
3) Press B button
4) Drop 20 token samples (they reject and LED stops flashing for each
sample)
5) 21st token sample accepts and routes to cash box and changer returns
to normal operating mode.
To inhibit the token:
2) Press B button
3) Press A button (for Token #1) or B button (for Token #2)
4) Press reject lever down
The inhibit feature does not erase the window; it merely inhibits the window. To re-enable the
token, repeat the inhibit process.

Cleaning
Before cleaning, turn machine power off and unplug changer. The TRC-6512 should be cleaned
only with a warm water and mild detergent solution.
Caution
Remove power to the MBD Interface by removing the fuse.
Supplies power to the control board
Never immerse the changer in water.
Do not use solvents, steel wool, scouring pads, or metal brushes for
cleaning.
Do not spray the changer with any types of lubricant.
Since all coins roll down a common coin ramp, heavy use can result in dirt build up. To clean
the Acceptor and coin ramp:
Swing the Acceptor lid diagonally upward and to the right (Figure 12). Hold the lid firmly so
that it does not snap back down.
Wipe the exposed coin ramp and inner
surface of the lid with a damp cloth. For

Switch #10 performs the reset (the switch must be held for 2 seconds). The beeper will
sound once the reset has completed.
Note that errors are not auto cleared from the log (e.g. if an error associated with switch #4
has been posted, it will not automatically be removed when switch #4 is repaired).
ENTRY CODE/PASSWORD (MODE 7)
The Entry Code Mode is entered when the door is opened and the mode switch is
depressed six times. Upon entering the Entry Code Mode, the display will show "Entry
Code". In order to enter the STS Programming mode or the modes above (modes 8 – 14),
an entry code must be keyed in. If the correct entry code is not keyed in, then a depression
of the mode switch will cause the system to enter the Operate mode. The entry code is
entered by depressing selection switches #3, #1, #4, and #2, in sequence, followed by a
depression of the mode switch in order to proceed to the Space to Sales Programming
mode. Once the correct entry code has been keyed in, it will not need to be keyed in again
unless the door is has been closed or a five minute service time out has occurred.

45
SPACE TO SALES (STS) PROGRAMMING (MODE 8)
The STS programming mode is entered when the door is opened and the mode switch is
depressed seven times; or once from the Entry Code Mode. Upon entering the mode, the
display will show "STS Programming".
The operator can specify a preset STS setting, or he can create a totally custom
configuration. It is also possible to specify a preset STS and then to modify it slightly. Note
that at any time (while in the STS mode), switches 11 & 12 can be used to restore the
previous STS configuration.
1 Moves to Previous Screen 2 Moves to the Next Screen
7 Enables / Disables 8 Enables / Disables
9 Goes to Previous Module 10 Goes to Next Module (A to B)
The VMC’s Space to Sales is configured via 13 screens/lines. The 1st
screen/line is used
to specify if a “Custom” or “Preset” STS is used. For each selection (1 – 12), there is an
additional screen/line used for setting its STS. Using Selection Switches #3 and #4
accesses the screens/lines.
Once the desired screen/line is being displayed, selection switches #5 and #6 are used to
move the cursor to the desired position. Once the cursor is at the desired location,
selection switches #7 and #8 are used to change the setting.
Note that selection switches #9 and #10, also move the cursor (multiple positions per
depression). Switches #11 and #12 will restore the STS to the setting that existed before
the mode was entered.
SELECTING A PREPROGRAMMED STS SETTING
With the display showing “STS Programming” (via the mode switch), depressing selection
switch #4 will move control to the 1st
screen/line:
Preset STS Setting x (the cursor will be at the “x” location)
The “x” can be either a:
C Indicates that the STS configuration is presently custom
1-9 Indicates that the STS config. is one of the presets (1-9)
With this screen, the operator can specify if he wants a custom STS or one of the preset
STS configurations. Via switches #7 and #8, changing the “x” to 1 – 9, will select one of the
preset STS settings (see Appendix for the preset STS configurations). If the mode is exited
after the “x” is changed, then the STS configuration will correspond to the entered
numerical value.
If the operator changes the setting to a number and then proceeds to the next screen/line, it
is possible to modify one of the preset settings. If a person does modify a preset setting,
the 1st
line will show a “C” (since it is a custom setting – even if it a variation of a preset
setting).

46
CUSTOM SPACE TO SALES PROGRAMMING
With machine at the 1st
screen/line (Preset STS Setting “x”), depressing selection switch #4
will move the control to the 2nd
screen/line. Examples of the line are shown below:
DISPLAYS DEFINITION
SEL01 A……B…… Indicates that Selection 1 is not assigned to motors A1 – A6 or B1 – B6
SEL01 A..34..B1….. Indicates that Selection 1 is assigned to motors A3, A4, and B1.
SEL01 A……B123456 Indicates that Selection 1 is assigned to motors B1 – B6.
For the screens/lines associated with the individual selections (as shown above), when a
number appears (as opposed to a “.”), it indicates that the corresponding motor is assigned
to the selection. So when the display shows “B..34..” it indicates that motors B3 and B4 are
assigned to the displayed selection (motors B1, B2, B5, and B6 are not assigned to the
selection).
SELECTING THE DIFFERENT SCREENS
The operator can use selection switch #3 and #4 to access the other 12 screens (for
viewing and setting the STS for each of the 12 selections).
DISPLAYS DEFINITION
Preset STS Setting C 1st
screen
SEL01 A12….B…… 2nd
screen (sets the STS, Sel #1)
SEL02 A…..B1….. 3rd
SEL03 A……B..34.. 4th
….. …..
SEL12 A……B…… 13th
screen (STS, Sel #12)
VIEWING ALL OF THE MOTOR ASSIGNMENTS
Due to size of the display, only a portion of the information can be seen at a time (an
example of the complete information is shown below).
SELxx A......B..3...
The operator can use selection switch #5 and #6 to move the cursor one position at a time.
Switches #9 and #10 move the cursor to the next module (e.g. A to B, or C to D). When
the cursor reaches the end of the screen/line (e.g. it’s at the “6” for “A……B….56”), on the
next switch depression, the screen shifts the modules (see the following examples).
If the screen shows (cursor at the last position):
A......B12....
After Switch #6 is hit, six times (cursor to the right), the screen will show:
B12....C......
If the screen shows (cursor at 2nd
position):
C..34..D1.....
After Switch #5 is hit, six times (cursor to the left), the screen will show:
B12....C..34..
If the screen shows (cursor at the “3” position):
C..34..D1.....
After Switch #10 is hit (moves to the module on the left), the screen will show:
D1.....E....56

47
ASSIGNING A MOTOR TO A SELECTION
The operator can assign a motor to a selection by changing the appropriate “.” to a number
(1-6). A motor can be unassigned by changing the appropriate number (1-6) to a “.” (see
the following example):
Assuming that the screen shows the following setting and the operator wants
to assign motor C1 to the selection and unassign D1
C..34..D1.....
TO ENABLE:
The operator would 1st
change the “.” to a “1” (via switch #7 or #8)
C1.34..D1.....
The operator would then move the cursor to the D1 position (via switch #6)
C1.34..D1.....
TO DISABLE:
The operator would then change the “1” to a “.” (via switch #7 or #8)
C1.34..D......
DISPLAY PROGRAMMING (MODE 9)
The Display Programming Mode is entered when the door is opened and the mode switch
is depressed eight times, or twice from Entry Code Mode. Upon entering the mode, the
display will show "Display Programming".
Depressing a selection switch will cause the following:
Switch #1 selects between the standard English messages and the alternate
(programmable/loadable) messages. Note that the alternate messages are loaded
via DEX (see appendix D).
Switch #2 copies the English messages into the alternate message area. Note,
this switch must be pressed twice (within 3 seconds) for the action to occur. The
display will show “English to Alt”, in between the 2 switch depressions.
Switches 3 – 10 are used to change the alternate messages.
Switches #11 and #12 are used to control the information displayed to the user.
Switch #11 cycles through 5 different parameters, while switch #12 cycles through
the options associated with the parameters. The parameters and their options are
below:
