VendingMizer EZ Secondary with Cable VM171

Vending machines typically run 24 hours a day, whether anyone is likely to use the machine or not. By powering down the machine when it is not needed, energy consumption can be significantly reduced. The VendingMiser EZ uses a Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) to power down a refrigerated vending machine when no one has been within 25 feet of the machine for 15 minutes. Then it monitors the room s temperature and automatically re-powers the cooling system at one to three-hour intervals, dynamically adjusted based on the ambient temperature to ensure that the product stays cold.

To reduce wear and tear on the machine, VendingMiser EZ s microcontroller will never power down the machine while the compressor is running, eliminating compressor short-cycling. In addition, when the machine is powered up, the cooling cycle is allowed to finish before again powering down.

 

VendingMiser EZ is a simple external plug-and-play product, being able to be installed directly onto the vending machine with Velcro®. Included is one VendingMiser EZ preassembled for installation.

To control multiple machines (up to four), a VendingMiser EZ may be purchased without the PIR Sensor, but then use its 10 foot repeater cable to allow it to be controlled from the PIR sensor of the primary VendingMiser EZ.
