All of the speciicaions and requirements noted here and in the Mini POS Speciicaion and Requirements in Appendix A must be followed to avoid damage to the Mini POS and potenial safety concerns. © ValidFill, ValidFill, LLC LLC 2014 2010 © 03 Start-Up & Operaing Instrucions 3.1) Acivate the Mini POS The Mini POS will automaically turn on when plugged in. The unit will take approximately 45 seconds to boot. During this period the screen will remain dark. For the opional coniguraion of the unit the On/Of switch needs to be in the On posiion. Once operaional, the screen will be on and the program will be running. If unit does not start or needs to be reset you can do so via the reset buton. The reset buton is located directly below the connector for the power cord and is accessible via the small hole. Using a small tool or a paper clip, insert it into the hole and toggle the switch. 3.2) The Cashier Card Ater the iniial boot, the unit enters a locked screen mode. In order to unlock the screen the operator will need a cashier card for that speciic locaion. The unit can be set to operate without a cashier card, however it is not recommended. The unit will automaically lock itself ater a predetermined ime period that is decided by the customer. 04 2010 © ValidFill, LLC 2014 3.3) Unlocking the Program with Cashier Card To unlock the programmer place the Cashier Card on the top of the unit and touch the icon that looks like a lock on the screen. Once the screen is unlocked remove the cashier card and you may begin programming cups. Warning: If you fail to remove the cashier card you run the risk of reprogramming your cashier card. If this happens you will no longer be able to use the cashier card to unlock the staion. 3.4) Unlocking the Program with PIN number To unlock the programmer touch the icon that looks like a lock on the screen. A PIN pad will immediately appear on the screen allowing you to enter your predetermined 4 digit PIN code. Once the Staion is unlocked you can begin normal use. Once you’re inished you can lock the programmer either by touching the Lock Icon or the programmer will lock itself ater the predetermined amount of ime. © ValidFill, LLC 2014 2010 05 Programming Cups, Geing info, & Opional Features 4.0) Program Butons Each Mini POS has the capacity of 10 diferent butons per screen all capable of having a diferent ofer assigned to the buton. In addiion to these 10 butons you also have a Cup Info buton that can give you detailed informaion on any cup presented to the unit. 4.1) Place Cup on the Mini POS To Program a cup, place the cup on the top of the unit. Insure the cup is lush on the unit with nothing, including liquid, between the cup and the programmer. 06 © ValidFill, LLC 2010 2014 4.2) Choose the Ofer Each ofer will be clearly detailed on one of the available butons. Touch the buton 1 ime to program the cup. If you touch the buton more than once, you will most likely be programming addiional ills onto the cup. Once the cup has been successfully programmed you will see a Pop-up message that says, “The Cup has been Successfully Programmed.” If you receive an error message insure the cup has a tag that is properly installed and valid for the locaion. 4.3) Cup info In the botom let of the screen there is a permanently ixed buton that you can use to see the informaion that is programmed to the cup. Place the cup on top of the unit and touch the “View Cup Info” buton. © ValidFill, LLC 2014 07 4.4) Cup info Deined 08 • Company - The company that the cup is valid for. • Locaion - The locaion within the company that the cup is valid for. • Cup Size (in Ounces) - The cups size pertains to how many ounces of beverage can be poured into the cup not factoring ice. • Cup Type - This can either be a hot beverage cup or a cold beverage cup • Serial Number - A unique number programmed on every tag. The number allows us to track the cup through all stages of its use. • Promo Code - A unique code assigned to the cup program that was writen to the cup. This code will allow you to easily idenify the program in use and also allows ValidFill to track how many of a certain program has been used. • Sale Date - This date can be either the date the cup was programmed or the date the cup was irst presented to the machine. The reill period will begin based on this date. • Recharge Count - A total number of how many imes the cup has had addiional ills added to it. • Total Times Filled - A total number of how many imes the cup has been illed. • Fills Remaining - The number of ills the cup has remaining before it expires. • Last Fill Time - The imestamp of when the cup was last used. • Last Fill Locaion - The last locaion in which the cup was used. • Last Fill Machine - The last machine on which the cup was used. • Fills Today - A total number of how many imes the cup has been illed on the current date. • Max Fills Per Day - The number of imes the cup can be illed that day. © ValidFill, LLC 2014 4.5) Reseing a Cup In the event a cup is misprogrammed with either too many ills or perhaps the wrong program all together your programmr can come opionally equiped with a RESET buton. You can reset the ills by placing the cup on the programmer and touching the reset buton. Reseing the Cup removes all ills from the cup. To insure that you don’t reset a cup by mistake, a warning prompt will display to verify that you do want to reset the cup. Touch Yes to reset the Cup. There are a few things that you can not change by reseing the cup: • The Size of the Cup • The Company the Cup is Programmed for. • The Locaion where the Cup is Programmed to work. • The Serial Number. 2010 © ValidFill, LLC 2014 09 4.6) Changing Locaions All Cups are programmed with a speciic locaion. This locaion is the only locaion that is allowed to use the cup. For instance let’s say a cup is programmed for use at Resorts but it is not available for use at the joining Water Themed Park. We can allow the acivaion of that cup for the Water Park. To do this just touch the “ADD WATER PARK” or similarly named buton and the locaion will be changed to one that will allow the usage of the cup. This feature only adjusts the locaion informaion and does not modify or reset the cup in any other way. 4.7) Adding and Ediing Names Adding names to the cups allow for a personalized touch to the system. This opional feature will code the person’s name at the ime of programming or can add or edit a name at a later ime. To add or edit the name place the cup on the programmer and touch the designated buton which will launch the Keyboard. Type in the name, then touch the Enter Key to save the name to the cup. Use the same steps to edit a cup. 10 2010 © ValidFill, LLC 2014 4.8) 2 Screen Opional Coniguraion As menioned in secion 4.0, each screen has a 10 buton capacity. To increase the ofer potenial or for running muliple programs on the same unit, we have an opion coniguraion that will give the POS a second screen to host an addiional 10 butons. To access the second screen touch the arrow on the right of the screen to move to the second screen. Once you’re on the second screen, you can operate it in the same manner as the irst screen. When you are ready to return to the irst screen, touch the arrow on the let side of screen to go back to the irst screen. The lockout ime sill applies to the second screen and it will automaically lock ater a speciiced set amount of ime. 2010 © ValidFill, LLC 2014 11 The ValidFill System: How It Works 5.0) The RFID Speciic Components Deined In the ValidFill system there are three main radio frequency Ideniicaion (RFID) speciic components that make the system work: 5.1) RFID Tag An RFID tag (also known as a transponder) is programmed with informaion that uniquely ideniies itself. These tags are located on the botom or between the shell and the liner of the Whirley-DrinkWorks’ reillable mugs used with the ValidFill system. Each individual tag holds informaion that is unique to that tag such as size of the cup, company name, date the cup was purchased, where it was purchased, how many imes it has been used, how many reills remaining, and muliple other ields of data. 5.2) RFID Reader An RFID reader (also known as a transceiver) translates the informaion that is programmed onto the tag into a format the computer sotware can interpret and send out the proper commands. 5.3) RFID Antenna An RFID Antenna, located in the top of the POS MINI, transmits a small radio signal that has been generated by the RFID reader. 12 © ValidFill, LLC 2014 6.0) An Overview of How the Mini POS System Works On the botom of your RFID tagged reillable mug or disposable cup is an RFID tag that is uniquely ideniied by the informaion that is stored on that tag. When the buton on the Mini POS is touched, the antenna is turned on and produces a small radio signal. With the mug or cup siing squarely on the top of the unit, the radio signal acives the tag. If no tag is present when a buton is touched, the following text is displayed: “Place the cup on the staion, please try again.” With the tag present, the antenna reads the informaion stored on that tag and sends it to the Mini POS. The Mini POS processes this informaion and responds by doing one of the following: programming the cup, displaying an error message, or displaying the informaion stored on the cup’s RFID tag. © ValidFill, LLC 2014 13 7.0) Placing Tags on Disposable Cups In order to insure proper funcion of disposable cups it is imperaive that all tags be placed in the exact center of the cup. Any deviaion may cause your disposable cups to be misread or not read at all by the system. The following are examples of the correct way to center the tag and the incorrect way. 7.1) The correct way This example demonstrates the correct placement of the tag on the botom of the cup. The goal should be to center the white tag on the exact center of the cup. 7.2) The incorrect way This example demonstrates the incorrect placement of the tag on the botom of the cup. Noice the tag does not need to be far from center to be considered incorrect. 14 © ValidFill, LLC 2014 2010 ValidFill-Freestyle Mug Program Opions 8.0) Opions Detail The Following Table details the various mug program opions available. Within the table each program has a descripion which explains the way each type of program expires followed by examples, and the messaging you will see. NOTE: A company can run muliple programs to expand the potenial ofers. © ValidFill, LLC 2014 2010 15 Mini POS Troubleshooing Guide 9.1) Basic Troubleshooing Guide Should the unit stop operaing, check the power cord to make sure it is plugged into the UPS or power strip and securely plugged into the back of the POS MINI. If the opional UPS is used with your system, be sure that the UPS is turned on.
