VendingMiser® (Secondary with Cable)

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 uses a passive infrared sensor (PIR) to power down a refrigerated vending machine when no one has been within 25' of the machine for 15 minutes. It continues to monitor the room’s temperature, automatically repowering the cooling system at 1 to 3 hour intervals, dynamically adjusting based on the ambient temperature to ensure the product stays cold. To reduce wear and tear on the machine, the 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 is a simple external plug-and-play product, able to be installed on the wall with hand tools. Included with the VendingMiser with Sensor is 1 VendingMiser, 1 wall mounting plate and 1 PIR sensor with mounting bracket. To control multiple machines (up to 4), a VendingMiser may be purchased without the PIR Sensor and controlled from the PIR sensor of the primary VendingMiser by the 10' repeater cable.
