Quality video My only difference is in loading the coin mech I scroll around in the diag menu to CD (coin dump) then feed the coins into the coin mech as if you are buying a drink, the coins the mech wants will go into the change tubes, the coins it rejects will pop out into the change bowl. I find this way the machine and coin mech have " shook hands" and are working as one, it also tests the coin mech.

@VendingMachineSupport2 жыл бұрын
@@asdasd-pi8pk You can use 20oz bottles in columns 1 through 9. Though, in columns 2 through 9 you will need to remove the rod and spring from the cradle. Then replace the 12oz can shim with a bottle shim. Adjust the back spacer to keep the bottles loosely pressed up again the sold out flap at the front of the column. I recommend about a 1/4" gab (an index finger's depth) between the rear bottle cap and the back spacer. Lastly, set the brown timing cam to either 2, 3, or 5. Which one is dependent upon the bottle size. This video explains how to adjust the timing cam. ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba2SacWGrc-bk3U.html ).

got any info on priming a DNCB 320/184-7? it's an older machine without the bill acceptor / external controller
@VendingMachineSupport2 жыл бұрын
The DNCB 320/184-7 model machine would be what I call a single price drink machine. The price is set on the coin changer itself versus a control board. These drink vending machines use a vend relay / solenoid to pass power to the vend motor. The easiest way to prime these types of machines, and really any drink machine for that matter. Is too simply vend each individual selection using hard currency until two or three drinks drop consecutively. This can be done with the door open so you can watch the motors cycle. An alternative priming method is to actuate the power cherry switch on each vend motor with a small insulated screwdriver. For reference this video ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba2SacWGrc-bk3U.html ) explains how to adjust a timing cam on a 501e. The power cherry switch looks much like the home switch in the video. The motor cover will need to be removed to expose the vend motors. Actuate the cherry switch and allow the motor to cycle to its next notch. Repeat until two to three drinks have vended. I will see if I have a functioning single price drink machine at my shop to make a quick video in the future. Until then Please take EXTREME CAUTION and at your OWN RISK. There is high voltage running through the power cherry switch that passes onto the vend motor. I hope this helps.

Had some difficulty toggling btwn the settings. I switched the coin mech and bill validator (following your video😁👍). 2 Quick questions: I filled the coin mech and the bill validator accepted cash but then it suddenly stopped accepting cash, what could be the cause? Is it possible to vend irregularly shaped bottles?
@VendingMachineSupport2 жыл бұрын
Well done on the change and validator swap. If your bill acceptor suddenly stopped taking dollar bills. You may have not added enough coins to the coin tubes. 12 coins in each tube is the minimum. If you have plenty of coins in the coin tubes. Try making 5 to 6 vends using just coins. This will allow the control board to record the total value of coins entering into the tubes. This may bring your bill acceptor back online. In regards to bottle shapes. The Dixie Narco E series machines only work well with cylindrical shaped bottles or cans.

Some require a small flat head screw driver and needle nose pliers. While other styles need the plastic and metal retainer springs to be removed along with the selection switch assembly. Something to remember. The major drink manufactures like Coke and Pepsi do not manufacture the actual drink vending machine itself. The vending machines are manufactured by companies like Dixie Narco, Royal Vendors, and Vendo. Which model do you have?

I live in a cold winter state. My compressor broke. Will the winter keep my drinks cold until I can get a compressor?
@VendingMachineSupport Жыл бұрын
@Show Runner This is a tricky question to answer. I will assume your machine will be located outside. The quick answer is that you will just need to monitor the internal temperature. The worry is not will it be cold enough but will it get to cold internally. The ideal temperature range for drinks is between 36F and 40F. Diet soda will start to freeze at 34F. Now, the evaporator fan that circulates the air inside the machine which runs all the time will put off heat. This sometimes is just enough to keep the drink from freezing. I have, in the past for my customers, wired in incandescent light bulbs that would sit in the bottom of the drink machine near the evaporator coil. The light bulb radiated enough heat to keep the drinks from freezing and, with a working compressor, keeps the drink at a consumable temperature.

Hello Alex, I need some insight for the following: We purchased a used 501e pop machine and placed it indoors in a recreation area. The fans seem to run all the time. We do hear the compressor kick on and off when cooling is required. Is there a configuration setting for indoor use versus outside operations? Our old DN (1984) version vending machine did not run the fans unless the compressor was called to cool the cold box.
@VendingMachineSupport Жыл бұрын
The EVAP fans on most Dixie Narco machined run 247. They are not tied to the compressor like the condenser fan is. New machines will now have the EVAP fans tied to a relay to turn them off when ever the door is open for energy conservation reasons. -sic Energy Star. Your older Dixie Narco has had one leg of the 110V power leading to the EVAP fan(s) tapped into one of the thermostat wires. When the thermostat is unsatisfied power is sent to the compressor and in turn powers the EVAP fans. If the fan(s) are loud there could be a problem with the motor(s) themselves. As in dried out bushings.

@VendingMachineSupport Жыл бұрын
You will need a minimum of 12 coins in each tube if you want to accept $1.00 bills if equipped with a bill acceptor. If all your drinks are set to .75 then you need to think of all the combinations of coins that can be equal or greater the .75. For example. If a customer was to insert two quarters and three dimes equaling .80. Then the machine will need to be able to pay the customer back a nickel in change. So rule of thumb is always load each tube with coins. 12 coins in each tube is the minimum. This video may help to understand more: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/asCfmM1l2d2lqmQ.html

Then press and hold selection button one until the display reads HOMING. This will attempt to turn motor number 2 back to a home position. The current state of the sold out switches can be tested by the control board. This can be found by going to SP and SC under the DIAG menu. SP will show any sold out switches that are empty or OPEN. SC will show any sold out switches that are full or CLOSED.

This strip acts as the actuator to the selection membrane. If you look closely one side of the rubber strip has nine small hard plastic tips. This is the side that faced the selection membrane. The larger rounded side faces the actual clear plastic button. On the back bottom center of each clear plastic button there is a small raised area. The larger rounded side of the gray rubber strip should make contact at this point of the button. Hopefully this helps.

@VendingMachineSupport2 жыл бұрын
The Dixie Narco 276CC was manufactured by Dixie Narco for Coke-a-Cola. This denoted by the CC in the model name. There will be a few other identifying numbers in the model name that denotes the type of control board it is using. For example. DNCB-276E-SII would indicated that would be a broken down like this. Dixie Narco (DN) Cold Beverage (CB) 276 (Can Drink Capacity - This number is not always exact) E (Series) SII (Control Board). What is the complete model number of your machine? The will help narrow down what setting are needed. A side note. Take a hard look at the 16.9oz water bottle you are wanting to vend. Does the bottle make a crinkling sound when squeezed? If so, there is going to be a good chance that bottle will end up getting jammed or double vended. The newer water bottles are produced with thinner walls. This leads to vending issues when stacking 24 or 48 bottles on top of each other.

@neddy707 Sorry to learn of your issues and I understand how frustrated you may be towards this process. A complete video guide on how to install shims, rods, and to setup a Dixie Narco 501e for different drinks sizes in general is in the works. Until then, from your description it appears there are a few issues at hand. First. Make sure the timing cams on the motors are set for the product size you are vending. Here is a quick video I made explaining how to adjust these: ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba2SacWGrc-bk3U.html ). In the way of shims. If the machine was previously set up for bottles then you will need 12oz can shims. Typically there is a diagram on the inside of the inner door that explains the shims required and what adjustments need to made. For selections 2 thru 9: x8 12oz can shims and x8 rods and springs will be needed. For selection 1: x8 plastic can shims will be needed. Here are a few links to complete 12oz can conversion kits for the 501E: (www.veii.com/SHIM-KIT-12-OZ-CAN-FOR-DIXIE) or (www.dsvendinginc.com/p-2041-d60907260004-dn-501e600e-conversion-kit-12-oz-can.aspx). Please note that I have no affiliation with either of the these two companies. How to install these shims is a topic to large place into this reply. I have an old video I made about 10 years ago where I strapped a GoPro on my head while I installed 12 oz can shims into a Dixie Narco 501E. I will upload this video this week and use it as a place holder until I am finished with the new version. I know this is a topic that is in need. Hang in there and don't give up on the machine. The good thing is once you setup one selection for the narrow columns. Just copy and paster those settings to the remaining columns. I hope this helps and best of luck.

Get a couple of the 6amp motor fuse as this will blow more frequently. Check to make sure you do not have a pinched or jammed product at the bottom of your columns. Please make sure to remove power before attempting to remove or replace the fuse.

Just got some fuses, and going to try it. I’ve also been doing some research and see that I’m going to have to get different shims and rods to convert this over to cans as well once I get it working?

@@vicnestico3137 That is correct. You will need x8 rods & springs along with x8 can shims for selections 2 through 9. The rods and springs will need to go into hole B in the cradle. The brown timing cam on motors 2 though 9 will need to be set to 1. ( Video on how to set the timing cam: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba2SacWGrc-bk3U.html )The rear spacer will need to be set to hole 13. For selection number 1 you will need a total of 8 plastic can shims. Four on each side. The red and gray timing cam will need to be set to 1. The rear spacer will also need too set to hole 13.

Are you able to put 8-9Oz drinks in the Dixie Narco 501e?
@VendingMachineSupport2 жыл бұрын
Yes but it requires a kit that is no longer available to my knowledge. If memory serves me correctly. The kit consisted of a few rod & springs with colored plastic lifters that slid over the rods. As well as a side shim and back spacer adaptor. It is more trouble than it is worth in my opinion. Stick with 12oz, 16oz Cans, 16.9oz, 20oz, and 24oz bottles to reduce the chances of jams and double vends.

Hey Alex how do I prevent a double vend. I keep having two drinks drop at once.

I need to know some more detail about what type of product you are attempting to vend. ie. Can or Bottle? Ounces? What column is it in?

@@VendingMachineSupport It happens with 12oz cans. I'll do a motor test and as it goes through rotation it will vend 1, then another and then it'll skip a rotation and on the next vend two cans come out. Also it's set on function one. And sometimes it'll do it with bottles 16.9 oz

@@evanarmstrong3465 The issue you described is indicative of a missing rod and spring placed in hole B. Make sure you also have the metal can shim installed and have set the brown timing cam to hole number 1. (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba2SacWGrc-bk3U.html)
