Beverage dispenser tray assembly

A beverage dispenser having a refrigerated compartment for holding at least first and second containers for holding syrup, each of the containers having at least first and second electrodes, the dispenser comprising:

• a first tray for supporting a first container, the first tray being electrically coupled to the first electrode of the first container;
• a second tray for supporting a second container, wherein the first and second portions are electrically insulated from each other, the second tray being electrically coupled to the first electrode of the second container;
• a first lead electrically coupled to the first tray;
• and
• a second lead electrically coupled to the second tray, wherein the first and second leads carry signals along conductive paths between the respective first and second electrodes that determine a level of syrup in the first and second containers.

A beverage dispenser having a refrigerated compartment for holding adjacent first, second, and third containers for holding syrup, each of the containers having at least first and second electrodes, the dispenser comprising:

• a frame;
• a first electrically conductive horizontal member mounted to the frame for supporting the first container and for contacting the first electrode of the first container;
• a second electrically conductive horizontal member mounted to the frame for supporting the second container and for contacting the first electrode of the second container;
• a third electrically conductive horizontal member mounted to the frame for supporting the third container and for contacting the first electrode of the third container;
• a first conductor electrically coupled to the first tray;
• a second conductor electrically coupled to the second tray;
• a third conductor electrically coupled to the second electrode of the first container;
• a fourth conductor electrically coupled to the second electrode of the second container;
• wherein the first and third conductors and the second and fourth conductors carry signals along first and second conductive paths between the respective first and second electrodes in the first and second containers to determine a level of syrup in the first and second containers.
