Open the machine.
Turn off the power to the machine.
Determine the optimal installation position:
Place the VENCUBE as close as possible to the machine controls and payment systems.
Make sure that the controls are easily accessible.
Note the cable length.
Glue the base plate (holder) and screw it. (Image 1)

	If gluing is not possible, the assembly click holder must be screwed diagonally to the designated points in the machine with at least 2 screws¹⁾. The screw heads must be complete Sit flush and must not protrude. 1) Hardened countersunk self-drilling screw, ∅ 3.5 according to DIN 7504

Clip the VENCUBE into the base plate. (Image 2)
Remove the machine controls cover.

	The machine must be voltage-free!

Disconnect all existing payment systems (1, 2) from the machine control. (Image 3)
Connect the cables from the VENCUBE:
Connect the (MDB) master connection (3) from the VENCUBE to the vending machine control. (Image 4)
Connect the (MDB) slave port (4) to all existing payment systems (5). If necessary, use a Y-cable. (Image 5)
If possible, glue the antenna (6) behind a plastic cover. (Image 6)
Route the antenna cable.
Lay all cables professionally with cable ties.

	Never use the existing door switch of the machine, this can destroy the Vencube.

	Always connect the door switch as closer to plug 1 with the Vencube. Use connector "COM" and connector "NO" from the switch.

Vencube Commissioning

Turn on the machine.
If necessary, adjust the Vencube using the Ventool.
If necessary, configure the machine control and the payment systems.
You can find information on this in the wiki!
Wait until both LEDs turn green.
Close the door.
Test the machine by making a trial vend with change.
Open the door again.
Enter the data for VENSOFT (serial number, machine number).
Perform a cash withdrawal by pressing the “E” button on the Vencube until you hear a beep.
Close the door.
Commissioning is complete.

Place Vencube as close as possible to the vending machine control and payment systems.
Glue or screw the base plate into the machine. If the base plate is glued, please press it firmly into place without the Vencube.
Power down the machine and disconnect all existing payment systems from the vending machine control.
Connect the MDB master port from the VenCube to the vending machine control.
Connect the MDB slave port to all existing payment systems. Y-cables should be used for additional MDB slave connections.
Install door switch.

	Never use the existing door switch of the machine, this can destroy the Vencube.

	Always connect the door switch as closer to plug 1 with the Vencube. Use connector "COM" and connector "NO" from the switch. Please check that the switch operates properly just before the lock plate is flush with the machine.

Initial commissioning

	After the VMC is switched on for the first time with the Vencube connected, there is increased data exchange between the controller and the Vencube. As a result, the VMC cannot be operated for up to ten minutes, or only very slowly, and coin acceptance and payout can be disrupted at the same time. After the waiting time, the machine will work again without any problems.

VMC settings

VMC Auster HG 2540

	Note: These VMC all have MDB interfaces, the Vencube should therefore also be operated directly via MDB without adapter boards or cable harnesses and not via BDV master cable. Depending on which cashless payment system is connected to the Vencube, a BDV or MDB slave cable is to be used here. For coin changers and bill readers, always MDB is preferable.

	Note: Depending on the type of VMC and the software version of the VMC, not all setting options may be available, and the points that are not available can then be skipped. It may also be possible that the setting items have a German or English name, or that the texts are displayed somewhat differently.

Make the following settings in the patch menu and check them in the installation menu and make additional settings there if necessary.

The patch menu is reached via the service menu (M-8-E) by entering 99M 55M.
