Coffee Dispenser Set Up and Operation
Set up and Operation Start Up following installation Assuming all installation requirements have been met and the Vcafé is connected to power, the water tank will begin to fill. The Service Interface will display “Filling” during this process. Power to the heaters will be turned on when the water reaches the Safe level probe in the tank. Filling will continue until the water level reaches the Refill probe. During the heating cycle, the Service Interface will display “Warming up”, the water temperature and the current software revision. The Brew light, located on the Dispense Control panel will be on. If after five minutes, the normal tank level has not been reached, the Service Interface will display “Fill Too Long” (water on?) and the dispenser controls will be blocked, that is all machine functions are discontinued until a reset is initiated. Blocked conditions and Reset will be covered later in this class. Full coverage of this can also be found in the manual on pages 28 & 29.

Set up and Operation Portion Dispense and Timing Product Dispense Switches Currently, the standard dispense panel is a PC-2 configuration. That is, two product dispense switches are available for each of the two products. Maximum dispense time for both selections is 128 seconds. At the factory set dispense rate of 1.82 ounces/second, the maximum timed portion dispense is roughly 1.8 gallons (assuming 25:1 dispense ratio.) Using the Service Interface, all dispense button selections will be programmed to the same characteristics. That is, following selection of Mom. time out, Hold time out or Push and hold on the service interface, all buttons will reflect that behavior.
