Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial PURPOSE The sections that follow describes how to install the Vendwatch Telematics (VT) VendMine (VM) Connect T313 Telemetry Device in Vending Machines using general guidelines applicable to a universal principle of operation. Other documents would detail specic mounting location and cable routing for the various models available in the market from different manufacturers. Before proceeding with the installation verify that the VM IS NOT POWERED and Alternating Current (AC) or High Tension Voltage is not connected to the vending machine.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial UNPACKING THE UNIT Each container includes the T313 Telemetry Device, the telemetry antenna and the accessories kit. Clips to mount the enclosure and splice connectors to connect the door switch are found inside the kit amongst other items necessary to complete the professional appearance of the installation.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial MOUNTING THE DEVICE VM come in a variety of versions, models and their respective revisions. Two magnet-captive mounting clips, included in the kit, provide exibility of installation; the desired location is accomplished by inserting the clips right-to-left or left-to-right (see picture below), allowing the unit to be attached to any internal VM unused wall. The units is intended to be mounted with the LEDs facing the installer and the cables hanging to the oor. LEFT MOUNT RIGHT MOUNT
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial CONNECTING THE CABLES The next step after the the unit is secured in the VM chassis is to connect the cables to their respective interfaces. The T313 Telemetry device has 6 distinctive cables connecting the unit to the VM controller Direct EXchange (DEX) port, the Electronic Payment (EPay) System, the Multi Drop Bus (MDB) serving the legacy payment system, the Door Switch and Temperature Sensors and the antenna cable. DEX EPAY MDB DSS TCS ANT From left to right the function of the cables protruding from the T313 Telemetry Device are: DEX, EPay, MDB, Door Switch Sensors (DSS), Temperature Control Sensors (TCS) and the Antenna.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial MOUNTING THE ANTENNA The External Antenna will be mounted on top right side of the door and on the same side of the machine where the T303 Telemetry Device is installed. To do this, you will need to drill a 5/8 hole using the conical drill bit as shown. Once drilling is completed, remove the hex nut from the antenna and insert the cable into the hole from the outside, now tighten the nut from the inside of the machine. Connect the Antenna to the corresponding connector in the VM Connect Device.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial CONNECTING THE DEX CABLE The Telemetry T313 Device requests Sales, Health and Status of the VM by connecting to the Direct EXchange (DEX) connector. The VM Controller (VMC), the intelligence behind the VM functionality, provides a DEX interface connector, ¼” phone jack, in some models solder directly on the board and other models as a dongle. Find the DEX ¼” phone jack and connect the T313 Telemetry Device ¼” phone plug into it as illustrated below. The cable provides a spare ¼” phone jack to facilitate connecting additional devices on the DEX port.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial MOUNTING THE EPAY UNIT The Electronic Payment (EPay) unit should be mounted on the VM using, as a minimum, two of the mounting metal inserts in the back of the EPay unit. When necessary, an additional perforation of the chassis is required to accommodate proper routing of the EPay interface cable.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial CONNECTING THE EPAY UNIT Find the EPay cable on the T313 Telemetry Device and connect the cables together. Additional 1 meter extension cables can be purchased if the distance between the T313 and the EPay devices exceeds 1.5 meters. Upon powering up the unit the EPay unit will display “Reader Currently Disabled”, once initialized the legend changes to “Tap or Swipe Card t Vend”; during Dex reads, the legend would be “Processing Data Back Soon”.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial CONNECTING THE MDB The VMC provides power and controls the legacy payment system by allowing multiple devices to connect to the MDB bus. The installation would require to nd the last device on the MDB bus and connect the T313 Telemetry Device at the end. If the last device on the bus does not have a spare connector, the installation would require to disconnect the last device on the bus and connect the T313 Telemetry Device as second to last on the bus as illustrated below.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial CONNECTING THE DOOR SWITCH The cable used to connect the device to the VM door switch has 6 wires providing 3 separate functions; each using dedicated color wires based on VM instrumentation as follows: • NC Pair: RED/ORANGE • NO Pair: BROWN/BLACK • VT NO Switch Kit available for sale: GREEN/YELLOW The VM is equipped with a door switch connected to the VMC; typically, one of the poles is connected to what’s universally referred as common (return, ground or shield); the other pole is commonly referred as the “hot wire” and reects the state of the door. The door switch is determined to be in a “NORMAL” state when the plunger “IS NOT” retracted hence the term Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO).
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial CONNECTING THE DOOR SWITCH The switch is wired one of two ways, Poles are Normally Open (NO) or Poles are Normally Closed (NC). When the door is open and the switch plunger is fully extended, the “NO” POLE and the “COMMON” POLE ARE NOT making contact while the “NC” POLE and the “COMMON” POLE ARE making contact with each other.  To facilitate the integration of the VM door switch with the Telemetry device, a test tool universally known as a continuity tester would be used. The tool indicates when two points make contact when a led or a buzzer, instrumented in the tool, emanates light or sound as depicted below. OPEN CIRCUIT CLOSED CIRCUIT
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial FINDING THE COMMON POLE Connect the continuity test tool alligator clip to the shield of the Dex connector as shown Locate the switch, it must have two wired poles, however it may have a third pole that would not be wired. After locating the door switch, use the tip of the the continuity tester tool to make contact with one of the wired poles. If the light of the Continuity Tester Tool turns ON, press and release the Door Switch button, if the light is still ON no matter what state the Door Switch is in, then you have found the Common Pole. The Dex port and the Common Pole are both ground, so stay connected to the Dex port Switch in Normal state (Button Extended) YES YES Touching Wired Pole !YES YES Light/Sound ON !NO YES Switch Type !NO (Normally Open) NC (Normally Closed) Wire Pair Color to be used !Brown/Black Red/Orange
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial FINDING THE COMMON POLE Now make contact with the the other pole to validate the switch model and the poles connectivity. DOOR SWITCH LIGHT / SOUND POLE TYPE SWITCH TYPE Extended or Pressed YES Common Unknown Extended NO NO Normally Open Pressed YES NO Normally Open Extended YES NC Normally Closed Two distinctive connecting options, “NO” or “NC” are available based on the results of the continuity test.
Propiedad de Vendwatch Telematics - Condencial CONNECTING THE T313 TELEMETRY WITH A NORMALLY CLOSED (NC) DOOR SWITCH Following the results of the test above, cut the wire connected to the “NC” pole of switch. 1. Locate the RED Wire in the Door Switch Cable of the T313 Telemetry and splice it with the wire still connected to the switch using one of the UY2 connector. 2. Locate the ORANGE Wire in the Door Switch Cable of the T313 Telemetry and splice it with the other side of the previously cut wire using one of the UY2 connector. This wire is now connected to the VMC controller.
