station that is broken by a cup as it falls into position from the cup drop unit, or by a customer
placing his own mug in the dispense area.
The SureVend™ software monitors the cup station sensor during the time that the cup ring is
operated. If a cup is not detected the software will then attempt to drop a cup a second and if
necessary, a third time if a cup has still not been dispensed the main screen will display “Product
Not Dispensed”
Customers can now get their money back by pressing the coin return button or removing their
card.
If this happens on three consecutive occasions the main screen will display the message “Please
Insert Mug”. The machine remains in service but will not vend a cup from the cup drop unit.
