Introduction

365Lockers can be pickup locations when using 365Dining's OrderAhead feature. These lockers offer additional security and control as compared to existing options. With the use of these devices, pickup locations do not have to be assigned to arbitrary locations, and can remain in a secure and sanitary environment. 

These devices work with the 365Pay App and MyMarketAccount.net allowing operators to offer multiple Pickup Locations to a consumer before they browse the menu and order. Each locker system includes one master locker and can have up to five additional satellite lockers.

General Information 

Each locker system must have one and only one master control locker that can also function as a standalone locker. A locker system can have up to five additional satellite lockers connected to the master control locker for a maximum of six connected lockers.

  • MASTER (HOST) STANDALONE LOCKER MODEL NUMBER: 3641
  • SATELLITE LOCKER MODEL NUMBER: 3642

Each individual locker in the system MUST have its own receptible (power outlet) that has been properly tested (see instructions below). Locker power cables typically run about seven feet long. Using extension cords is not recommended.

The master control locker MUST have an ethernet CAT 5 outlet that has been provisioned by the network administrator and is ready to be used (see instructions below).

Lockers must be placed on a level and flat surface to function.

 

 

Before Setup 

Receive Locker(s) and Inspect 

You are asked to inspect each of your lockers for any damage before signing the delivery receipt, as the factory will not accept responsibility for any hidden damage.
Image1.PNG Image1a.PNG


To inspect your locker(s):

  1. Examine the exterior packaging for visible signs of damage.

  2. Unwrap or request that the packaging be removed from all sides to confirm that there is not any hidden damage.

  3. If any damage is visible, do not sign for the locker. Call the freight company, and request an inspection before the driver leaves.

Note: Do not allow the truck driver to rush you through the inspection of your equipment. The factory will not accept responsibility for any hidden damage.

  1. If no visible damage is evident and you are satisfied with the condition of the locker, you can sign the delivery acceptance form with the carrier.

 

Record Model and Serial Number of Master & Satellite Locker(s)

The model and serial numbers are needed to get quick service and parts information for your locker(s). It is important that you record each of your locker(s) model number and serial number.

IMPORTANT: The serial number on the back plate of the locker itself is NOT the same as the controller serial number. The back plate serial number is for the locker cabinet.

To find the model and serial number:

  1. The numbers can be found on the identification plate located on the backside of the cabinet of the locker.
    Image2.PNG
  2. PLEASE RECORD THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

 

Remove Shipping Skids from Locker(s)

Your locker(s) are shipped on wood skids that will need to be removed using a hammer and a large screwdriver or pry bar.

To remove shipping skids:

  1. Insert the wedge of the pry bar or screwdriver in the slot of the wood skid to split the skids. Apply pressure to front and back (tapping with a hammer). Pry the wood skid apart.

    Note:
    If your skids have a 2x4 across them, unscrew and remove them first.

  2. Repeat for each wood skid (both sides).

  3. The wood skids and steel shipping washers can then be discarded.

Setup Process

 

Confirm Power and Ethernet Connections

Your lockers each require a working power outlet and your master (host) locker also requires an ethernet connection to function.

To check power and ethernet connections:

  1. Locate the power outlet you will be plugging the locker into and confirm that the electrical supply has the correct polarity, presence of ground, and correct voltage

    IMPORTANT: If the receptacle is not properly grounded or polarized, contact a licensed electrician to correctly polarize and/or ground the receptacle to ensure safe operation.
    Image4.PNG
    Voltage 115 VAC 230 VAC
    Cycle 60 Hz 50 Hz
    Amperage 2.5 A (Max) 1.25 A (Max)

    IMPORTANT: For proper operations of any equipment using electronically controlled components, the equipment should be placed on an isolated or dedicated noise-free circuit.

  2. Confirm that the ethernet Cat5 outlet the master (host) locker will be connected to has been provisioned by your network administrator and is accessible.

    Note: You will also need to get the appropriate length of Cat5 cable to reach the outlet as it is not provided.
