Candy MARS Series Vending Machines

When a motor fault occurs, the beeper will sound three times, and the testing process will halt. This indicates an issue such as over current or a motor failing to move.

This message indicates that during a motor test, the motor labeled A1 drew a higher level of current than expected. This can signal a problem with the motor itself or its load.

This message appears during a motor test. It means the motor designated as A1 failed because it used too little current, or the system could not detect the motor at all.

This error occurs when the motor designated A1 fails to leave its home or starting position during a test. It indicates the motor is not initiating movement as expected.

This message means that the motor test for A1 exceeded the allowed time limit. The motor did not reach its expected position within the specified duration.

This error means the machine's RAM (Random Access Memory) has become corrupted, likely because the backup battery has failed or is very low. This can affect data storage.

This message appears during the vend detect beam test. It indicates that the beam is either broken unexpectedly or not properly aligned, preventing accurate product detection.

During the Executive & IrDA Test Mode, this message indicates that the transmission of the test pattern failed in one or both directions. The beeper will also sound.

This error log entry indicates that the MDB bill acceptor has reported a problem. The specific issue should be detailed by the bill acceptor's own diagnostic system.

This error indicates that the bill acceptor has identified a fraudulent bill or a bill-related fraud attempt, such as a bill pull.

This message in the error log signifies that the MDB card reader has encountered a problem. Refer to the card reader's documentation for details on the specific error.

This error signifies that a fraudulent activity has been detected specifically at the product delivery chute. This could involve attempts to retrieve products without proper payment.

This message appears in the error log when an MDB-compatible coin mechanism has reported an internal error. The specific nature of the error is indicated by the coin mechanism itself.

The vending machine is rejecting all coins because the coin mechanism is not properly connected. This can happen if the plug is loose or has come out entirely.

The vending machine is rejecting coins because the controller is set up for a different type of coin mechanism than what is installed. This mismatch prevents proper operation.

This error log entry signifies a problem with the DEX (Data Exchange) communication port. This port is used for transmitting sales and inventory data.

This message indicates that the DEX/UCS loopback test has failed. This means the transmitted test pattern was not correctly received, suggesting a problem with the port or the loopback cable.

The vending machine is rejecting coins because the coin mechanism itself is faulty. This component is responsible for accepting and validating coins.

The vending machine rejects all coins because the main controller board has failed. This board manages all operations, including coin processing.

The vending machine rejects all coins due to a faulty wiring harness. This can disrupt communication between components like the coin mechanism and the controller.

This error is logged if the machine's door has been left open for more than 60 minutes. This is a safety and operational measure.

This error indicates that a potential fraud attempt has been detected. This alert might be triggered by the card reader or other security systems within the machine.

This error indicates a problem with the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) port. This port is used for wireless data transfer, often for configuration or diagnostics.

This error appears when a motor (xx, from A1 to E6) that is assigned through the STS system has been identified as faulty. The system cannot operate this selection.

This error indicates a mismatch between different software components of the machine, specifically between the microprocessor (uP) and the Flash memory. This can cause operational problems.

This error indicates that a specific selection switch (xx, from 01 to 12) is not functioning correctly. It might be stuck in a closed position for too long, or it may be defective.

The 'Inlet Sensor' has been activated. This could relate to product delivery or internal sensors.

The 'override' switch has been pressed. This indicates a specific bypass or control function is active.

The 'Tilt' switch has been activated. This usually indicates the machine has been moved or tilted.

The machine is in Switch Test mode but is not detecting any switch activations. The associated LEDs should be off.

A specific selection switch (indicated by XX) has been pressed. The LED for this switch and the Exact Change LED will turn red.

The machine is in Touch Test mode and is waiting for a touch chip to be inserted. This is for testing the touch interface.

The touch interface test has failed. The machine was unable to write to or verify the test pattern on the inserted chip.

The touch interface test has completed successfully. The machine verified that a test pattern was written to and read from the chip correctly.

This error indicates a problem with the touch screen or touch-sensitive controls. This could be due to a hardware issue or a software glitch.

The vending machine is rejecting all coins because the price for items has been set to zero. This often occurs if a column is unassigned or a motor is defective.
