Abstract

A vending machine door monitoring system 100 for an audit system is provided. This door monitoring system amay utilize the same door switch 120 utilized by the vending machine controller (VMC) 1 10 in order to detect the state of an access door for the vending machine. This door monitoring system 100 may have a separate power supply for applying a back-up voltage to a door circuit in the event that the VMC 1 10 fails to supply the voltage. The door monitoring system 100 may be further configured to detect a state of the door circuit regardless of the order in which the terminals from the door switch are coupled to the audit system 140.
