COFFEtek Ltd S e c t i o n 1 Te c h n i c a l I n f o r m a t i o n INTRODUCTION 1. The Neo + is a coin-operated, microprocessor-controlled beverage machine that dispense a range of hot and cold drinks in response to touch screen selections.
COFFEtek Ltd CABINET FRONT The front of the cabinet door is constructed of one single sheet of smoked glass behind which are located a single board PC attached to a touch panel which will show drinks selections when pressed, progress of the vend and can also run standby videos or pictures/branding.
COFFEtek Ltd CABINET INTERIOR Access to the components and equipment in the rear section of the cabinet is obtained by removing the ingredient canisters and the relevant back panel. Cold water mains supply enters the cabinet through an aperture in the rear panel and connects to a twin chamber inlet valve for the hot water supply.
COFFEtek Ltd WATER SYSTEM The cold-water mains supply enters the machine via a double-solenoid operated inlet valve at the rear of the cabinet. This valve controls the flow of water to the unit’s hot water tank. If an optional cold drink system is fitted, a separate inlet valve is used to connect it to the mains water supply.

COFFEtek Ltd The functions available from the internal keypad are as follows: Advance Coffee Brewer. If a coffee brewer is fitted, a single depression of this key will cause the brewer unit to index to its next position in the cycle. The purpose of this function is to allow the brewer to be locked prior to a flush cycle so that cleaning agents can be added.
COFFEtek Ltd Cup Test Causes a cup to be dispensed by the cup drop mechanism. The cup carousel will not index, unless a selection is made, or a cup test performed. This reduces the possibility of damage; prevents damage to the carousel occurring because the cup stack has been pushed up from below causing a false out of cups signal to the control board.

COFFEtek Ltd Some configuration faults related to uninitialized boards do not allow the system to get even this far through start up, in which case it is necessary to insert the ENG LINK before switching the power on. In this case the machine will boot straight into the engineer’s program.

COFFEtek Ltd ADV MODE ENABLE Activates/Deactivates advanced mode. The remaining options in this menu are unavailable while advanced mode is inactive. SET LEARN MODE Configures the machine to 'learn' when the machine is used and set up advanced mode accordingly. This is achieved by counting the number of vends taken in each 15-minute period, and, if they exceed a given threshold figure, setting the override ON for that period.
COFFEtek Ltd This resets all advanced mode override periods to zero, effectively making advanced mode behave identically to the basic economy timed event. Note that it does not turn off advanced mode, neither does it cancel learning mode. ECONOMY DELAY This configures the time, in minutes, for which the machine should maintain full temperature following an override.
COFFEtek Ltd Programming- External 1. Machine Description The new Neo Touch machine has 2 graphic interfaces to interact with it.
