Switching and Replacing Coils
Switching and Replacing Coils
There are many different ways to configure the vending machine to suit a vast array of products. One of the easiest is adjusting the coil size for a slot to allow for products of different sizes. Each coil sold by Remarc Vending fits on each motor of the Duravend and OMNI series machines - they can even be mixed and matched between multiple machines purchased here! Below is a list of the coil sizes and the approximate size (in depth) of the products they are able to vend: (Note: Each product is different; additional configuration may be needed to vend items from certain slots even if their depth falls within the range of a coil.)
Additional coils can be purchased from Remarc Vending.

Number of Products per Coil | 5 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 15 | 22* |
Approximate Depth of Products | 2.25 - 2.75" | 1.75 - 2.25" | 1.25 - 1.75" | 1 - 1.25" | 0.75 - 1" | 0.5 - 0.75" | >0.5" |
*Note: 22 coils are not recommended for any machine with an elevator, as products that fit on this coil are so thin they do not properly trigger the machine's guaranteed vend sensor when they lay flat in the elevator after being vended.
Additional coils can be purchased from Remarc Vending.
Removal
To remove a coil, lightly push on the coil towards the back of the machine while twisting it until the black post on the back of the coil is visible in the gap of the coil clip as shown in this picture (there may be a small click as the post moves into position, this does not mean the coil, the clip, or the motor have broken).
Once properly aligned, pull the coil towards the front of the tray until the entire coil comes free of the coil clip. This will not take much force, so if the coil does not come out easily, try realigning the coil and the coil clip like the picture shown before trying again.

Installation
To install a coil onto a motor, position the coil so that a part of it wraps around the tab on the coil clip. Don't worry about lining the black post with the gap in the coil clip just yet.
Once that is done, the coil should look like this image.
Rotate the coil until the black post on the coil lines up with the gap in the coil clip as shown in this picture. Once the post is in the gap, rotate the coil in either direction until a click is heard.
A correctly installed coil can be pulled to rotate it without the coil popping out of the coil clip.
