USAT SnackMiser Master Unit, Model SM150

SnackMiser will power down a snack machine when it determines that no one is in the area around the machine. Like other Miser family members, SnackMiser utilizes a Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor to determine occupancy in the area around the vending machine. For a bank of machines, SnackMiser can utilize its unique embedded Sensor Repeater, which allows it to be controlled from the PIR sensor of any other Miser in the bank. This facilitates a quick and simple installation.

A snack machine’s lights and electronics typically draw nearly 100 Watts. This means a powered on snack machine is equivalent to leaving a 100 Watt light bulb on 24 hours a day, every day of the year - holidays included. Powering this snack machine down when not needed can result in real savings.

Additionally, keeping a snack machine’s electronics powered off, unless the machine is actually needed, lengthens the expected lifetime of the equipment and reduces its exposure to damaging power line spikes. Air conditioning load is also reduced, resulting in further savings. SnackMiser is proudly made in the USA.
