Do not move the Mini POS unless power has been disconnected. Do not open the Mini POS. There are no servicable parts inside. The Mini POS should always be stored in a cool dry place away from sources of liquid. Installation Instructions 1. Unpackage all components. 2. Place Mini POS on a level surface that is dry and clear of any obstruction. Prior to installation of the Mini POS insure that the location has a properly installed GFI outlet that has a power rating of 110V AC. 3.
Start-Up & Operating Instructions 3.1) Activate the Mini POS The Mini POS will automatically turn on when plugged in. The unit will take approximately 45 seconds to boot. During this period the screen will remain dark. For the optional configuration of the unit the On/Off switch needs to be in the On position. Once operational, the screen will be on and the program will be running. If unit does not start or needs to be reset you can do so via the reset button.
3.3) Unlocking the Program with Cashier Card To unlock the programmer place the Cashier Card on the top of the unit and touch the icon that looks like a lock on the screen. Once the screen is unlocked remove the cashier card and you may begin programming cups. Warning: If you fail to remove the cashier card you run the risk of reprogramming your cashier card. If this happens you will no longer be able to use the cashier card to unlock the station. 3.
Programming Cups, Getting info, & Optional Features 4.0) Program Buttons Each Mini POS has the capacity of 10 different buttons per screen all capable of having a different offer assigned to the button. In addition to these 10 buttons you also have a Cup Info button that can give you detailed information on any cup presented to the unit. 4.1) Place Cup on the Mini POS To Program a cup, place the cup on the top of the unit.
4.2) Choose the Offer Each offer will be clearly detailed on one of the available buttons. Touch the button 1 time to program the cup. If you touch the button more than once, you will most likely be programming additional fills onto the cup. Once the cup has been successfully programmed you will see a Pop-up message that says, “The Cup has been Successfully Programmed.” If you receive an error message insure the cup has a tag that is properly installed and valid for the location. 4.
4.4) Cup info Defined 08 • Company - The company that the cup is valid for. • Location - The location within the company that the cup is valid for. • Cup Size (in Ounces) - The cups size pertains to how many ounces of beverage can be poured into the cup not factoring ice. • Cup Type - This can either be a hot beverage cup or a cold beverage cup • Serial Number - A unique number programmed on every tag. The number allows us to track the cup through all stages of its use.
4.5) Resetting a Cup In the event a cup is misprogrammed with either too many fills or perhaps the wrong program all together your programmr can come optionally equiped with a RESET button. You can reset the fills by placing the cup on the programmer and touching the reset button. Resetting the Cup removes all fills from the cup. To insure that you don’t reset a cup by mistake, a warning prompt will display to verify that you do want to reset the cup. Touch Yes to reset the Cup.
4.6) Changing Locations All Cups are programmed with a specific location. This location is the only location that is allowed to use the cup. For instance let’s say a cup is programmed for use at Resorts but it is not available for use at the joining Water Themed Park. We can allow the activation of that cup for the Water Park. To do this just touch the “ADD WATER PARK” or similarly named button and the location will be changed to one that will allow the usage of the cup.
4.8) 2 Screen Optional Configuration As mentioned in section 4.0, each screen has a 10 button capacity. To increase the offer potential or for running multiple programs on the same unit, we have an option configuration that will give the POS a second screen to host an additional 10 buttons. To access the second screen touch the arrow on the right of the screen to move to the second screen. Once you’re on the second screen, you can operate it in the same manner as the first screen.
The ValidFill System: How It Works 5.0) The RFID Specific Components Defined In the ValidFill system there are three main radio frequency Identification (RFID) specific components that make the system work: 5.1) RFID Tag An RFID tag (also known as a transponder) is programmed with information that uniquely identifies itself. These tags are located on the bottom or between the shell and the liner of the Whirley-DrinkWorks’ refillable mugs used with the ValidFill system.
6.0) An Overview of How the Mini POS System Works On the bottom of your RFID tagged refillable mug or disposable cup is an RFID tag that is uniquely identified by the information that is stored on that tag. When the button on the Mini POS is touched, the antenna is turned on and produces a small radio signal. With the mug or cup sitting squarely on the top of the unit, the radio signal actives the tag.
7.0) Placing Tags on Disposable Cups In order to insure proper function of disposable cups it is imperative that all tags be placed in the exact center of the cup. Any deviation may cause your disposable cups to be misread or not read at all by the system. The following are examples of the correct way to center the tag and the incorrect way. 7.1) The correct way This example demonstrates the correct placement of the tag on the bottom of the cup.
ValidFill-Freestyle Mug Program Options 8.0) Options Detail The Following Table details the various mug program options available. Within the table each program has a description which explains the way each type of program expires followed by examples, and the messaging you will see. NOTE: A company can run multiple programs to expand the potential offers.
Mini POS Troubleshooting Guide 9.1) Basic Troubleshooting Guide Should the unit stop operating, check the power cord to make sure it is plugged into the UPS or power strip and securely plugged into the back of the POS MINI. If the optional UPS is used with your system, be sure that the UPS is turned on. Then proceed by confirming that all of the cables are plugged in to the correct places as illustrated in the POS MINI Cable & Lights Location Diagram in Appendix B.
9.2.3) The Mini POS will not program a cup. 1. Are you using a valid cup with an RFID tag on it? YES – Proceed to the next step. NO – Use a valid cup with an RFID tag on it and retry. If the problem persists, continue to the next step. 2. Is the Cup centered on the top of the Mini POS? YES – Proceed to the next step. NO – Insure you are centering the cup precisely so the tag can be properly interacted with. 3. Is the screen locked? YES – Retrieve a valid Cashier Card and unlock the screen.
