Replace Coinco Mech changer on a Dixie-Narco 8 adaptable vend machine

Hi,
I'm new on this forum so first of all I would like to say Hi and thanks for posting so useful information.

I have a Dixie-Narco 8 Adaptable column vending machine with a CoinCO DEX 9300 Changer that I would like to replace enabling free vend for a given period of time using a microcontroller board.

Found somewhere that with some jumpers on Jones plug and a switch between pins 1 and 3 will do that work but not sure if this is safe to do as there will be 110V over there.

Also I would like to control the selection switches with the same board so the steps will be --> enabling vend --> simulate a selector panel selection with the microcontroller board --> get the cam.

Sorry if I'm not clear enough...

Thanks in advance.

Set vending machine to free vend

windsol,
Do you have a single-price or a multi-price Dixie-Narco Vending machine it makes a difference on how to set it up for free vend.
A multiprice machine will have a digital display on the front of the machine and a single-price will have only the red 'use exact change light'.
Get back to me and see what we can do,
daryl

Thanks for your reply Daryl.

Thanks for your reply Daryl. This is a single-price Dixie-Narco Vending machine.

Thanks again.

Answer to your question

Hi Daryl, did you have some time to think about this ?
It is a single price machine.

Regards.

Set Machine to Free Vend

windsol,
since this is a single-price machine the method described in the Youtube video you mentioned is really the only way to set a single-price machine to free vend (jumpers on the Jones plug). That Youtube video is not very clear, so we are working on getting up a pdf with diagrams and better instructions in the manuals section. This seems to be a common request (we have 3 others posts requesting info) so we are working on it.

It works

Thanks Daryl for your answer. I've just tested that connection on the machine and it really worked!
Basically I connected 1 to 7 and a momentary switch between 1 and 3.
It worked fine.
Thanks again!
