servicing Royal equipment.
We recommend that persons servicing our equipment

maintain a similar commitment to safety. Only personnel
properly trained should have access to the interior of
the vender. This will minimize the potential dangers
that are inherent in electrical and mechanical devices.
Royal has no control over the vender once it leaves the
premises. It is the owner or lessor’s responsibility to

SAFETY REGULATIONS
· Read the safety segment before installation or
service.
· Test for proper grounding before installing to reduce
the risk of electrical shock and fire.
· Turn off or disconnect power cord from wall outlet
before servicing.
· Only fully trained service technicians should service
vender when vender has power.
· Remove any product before moving a vender.
· Use appropriate equipment when moving a vender.
· Always wear eye protection, and protect your hands,

Safety Segment
SECTION II: ELECTRICAL
HAZARDS
A. Servicing with Power Off
For maximum safety, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet before opening the vender door. This will
remove power from the equipment and avoid electrical
hazards. Service personnel should remain aware of
possible hazards from hot components although electrical
power is off.
B. Servicing with Power On
Some service situations may require access with power
on. Only fully qualified service technicians should
perform power-on servicing. Particular caution is required
in servicing assemblies that combine electrical power
and mechanical movement. Sudden movement (to escape
mechanical action) can result in contact with live circuits
and vice versa. It is therefore important to maintain
maximum clearances from both moving parts and live
circuits when servicing.
WARNINGS:
1. ONLY FULLY TRAINED PERSONNEL SHOULD
ACCOMPLISH “POWER-ON” SERVICING. SUCH
SERVICE BY UNQUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS CAN
BE DANGEROUS.
2. LIGHTING CIRCUITS CAN BE HAZARDOUS.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT VENDER FROM THE
WALL OUTLET BEFORE REPLACING A BULB OR
SERVICING THE VENDER IN THAT AREA.
3. NEVER USE A HOSE, PRESSURE WASHER

OR ANY CLEANING METHOD THAT COULD
WET ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. SEE
CLEANING SECTION OF MANUAL FOR
SUGGESTED CLEANING METHODS. IF WATER
CONTAMINATION OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
IS SUSPECTED, USE QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL
TESTING EQUIPMENT AND TEST METHODS

position codes). The following section outlines all the
control board’s pinouts by showing for each:
• The pinout position code as found on the control

board (example: P15);
• The name / purpose of the pinout (example: 24-volt
power connection);
• A paragraph describing in detail the pinout’s purpose
and its function; and
• A table describing the pin number, wire number, and
function of each position.
The word key refers to the small plastic insert plugged

into a position of the connector. The purpose of the key
is to prevent connecting the harnessing backwards or
upside-down. The “keyed position” is a blank position
within the pinout (no pin) in which a key is inserted.
Some pinouts may have several blank positions with a key
plugged into one or more of the positions. You can use
the key to determine which end of the pinout is pin 1.

Using the Vender’s Error Code System

The MERLIN IV vender has a built-in error code diagnostic system that will help you troubleshoot and solve problems.
This system is best used in conjunction with the Troubleshooting Section which follows this page. The error codes
shown below consist of two codes: a main error and a detailed error. These errors are not a replacement for your
knowledge of the vender or its operation. They will only point you in the general direction of the problem. Most vender
parts are independent of one another. Because of this, most problems can be confined to the item in question (such as
an LED display, coin changer, or select switch), the harnessing connecting it to the control board, and the control board
itself. Upon opening the vender’s main door, you will enter the Service Mode. The display will flash any vender error
codes, or “none” if no problems exist. Errors can be cleared from the “Eror” Mode within the Service Menu.
Note: It is recommended the error codes be cleared after correcting any problem(s) to prevent confusion and
unnecessary work in the future.

Troubleshooting
Use the following section to troubleshoot your MERLIN IV vender in the event you have a problem in one of the
following areas: power, acceptance (coin or bill), vending, or refrigeration. Although we have added what we felt are
the most encountered problems, your specific problem may not be here. If this is the case please, contact your local
