Register the SmVend personal account and add your SmVend telemetry controllers.
Read the user manual for your SmVend telemetry controller model.
Connect your SmVend equipment to the pulse machines according to one of the schemes below:
After connecting the telemetry controller to the vending machine, it is necessary to connect a GSM antenna to amplify the GSM signal:
Install a SIM card in the designated slot.
Ensure that the SIM card is activated and has a working internet connection.
Alternatively, SmVend telemetry controllers can be connected to the internet via WiFi. The Smart controller also supports internet connection via an Ethernet cable.
Next, configure the telemetry controller through your SmVend personal account.
Go to the Machines
section.
Go to the page of a specific vending machine.
Please ensure that the controller is online. If the controller is offline, check the internet connectivity on the SIM card / WiFi / Ethernet cable. If the controller remains offline, the settings will not be transmitted to the controller.
Go to the Configuration
tab.
Configure the settings of the controller and click the Save
button. Settings that must be configured:
Price
The price of a single launch by the OUT 1 link.
❗️Default setting = €1
Input pulse price for input 1 (bills)
The price of one input pulse from a bill acceptor to the SmVend controller.
❗️Default setting = €1
Input pulse price for input 2 (coins)
The price of one input pulse from a coin acceptor to the SmVend controller.
❗Default setting = €0.1
Multiplier for output 1
The number of pulses transmitted from the SmVend controller to the machine board if the machine requires more than one pulse to start (OUT 1 link).
❗️Default setting = 1
Output pulse duration (active time), ms
The pulse duration is transmitted from the SmVend controller to the machine board. Most machines operate at a pulse duration of 100 ms (milliseconds).
❗️Default setting = 100
Output pulse pause (inactive time), ms
The time between two consecutive pulses transmitted from the SmVend controller to the machine board. Most machines operate with a pulse pause duration of 100 ms (milliseconds).
❗️Default setting = 100
After configuring settings, you need to ensure that settings are applied. To do this, go to the History
tab and check the task's status. If the Completed
column contains:
— settings are applied — settings have not been applied yet.
