4.2 Servo-control board
A 10p flat cable connects the Active One control board to the Servo-board.
Power the Servo-board by the 3p socket J1, according to the following pattern:
230 Vac 24Vac 24Vdc 12Vdc

Pin 2: neutral neutral 0Vdc 0Vdc
Pin 1: GND GND
4.2.1 Connections to start the equipment by relay transmission of power supply:
Service line 1 (Pushbutton A): from power supply, connect one end of service line 1 straight to the relevant actuator (i.e.
electrical motor, solenoid, a.s.o.). Connect the other end to pin 1 (COM 1) of J2 connector.
If operation mode is “normally open”, take the switching wire to the 1 actuator from pin 2 (N.O. 1). These wires must
be able to sustain 10 Amps current draw.
If operation mode must be “normally closed”, take the switching wire to the actuator from pin 3 (N.C. 1).
If the actuator works by d.c., take care to connect properly positive and negative poles!
Service line 2 (Pushbutton B): from power supply, connect one end of service line 2 straight to the relevant actuator (i.e.
electrical motor, solenoid, a.s.o.). Connect the other end to pin 4 (COM 2) of J2 connector.
If operation mode is “normally open”, take the switching wire to the 2 actuator from pin 5 (N.O. 2). These wires must
be able to sustain 10 Amps current draw.
If operation mode must be “normally closed”, take the switching wire to the actuator from pin 6 (N.C. 2).
It is possible to disable coin acceptance in any of the following two ways:
a) Electronically - Pins 7/8 of green connector J2: provide any Vdc (+) or Vac (line value) to pin 7, and
respectively 0Vdc (-) or Neutral Vac to pin 8.
b) Mechanically - move to OFF the dip-switches located on the coin acceptor. Move them back to ON when
you want to resume coin acceptance.

Connections to start the equipment by one clean relay switch:
Service line 1(Pushbutton A): from pin 1 (COM 1) of the J2 connector, take a wire to the actuator of service line 1.
If operation mode is “normally open”, take the switching wire to the 1 actuator from pin 2 (N.O. 1).
If operation mode must be “normally closed”, take such wire from pin 3 (N.C. 1).
Service line 2 (Pushbutton B): from pin 4 (COM 1) of the J2 connector, take a wire to the actuator of service line 2.
If operation mode is “normally open”, take the switching wire to the 2 actuator from pin 5 (N.O. 2).
If operation mode must be “normally closed”, take such wire from pin 6 (N.C. 2).
It is possible to disable coin acceptance in any of the following two ways:
a) Electronically - Pins 7/8 of green connector J2: provide any Vdc (+) or Vac (line value) to pin 7, and
respectively 0Vdc (-) or Neutral Vac to pin 8.
b) Mechanically - move to OFF the dip-switches located on the coin acceptor. Move them back to ON when
you want to resume coin acceptance.
5. Operation
5.1 Getting started
Switch the machine on: the display will lit on and will show the following message:
The machine is ready to operate by the following default set values:
Line 1: price of service = 0,50 €
pulse length = 30 sec Line 2: price of service = 0,50 € pulse length = 30 sec
The Timebox B is able to simultaneously control two independent pay-for-time service lines, having different price and
time length. When introducing one coin, the corresponding credit will be displayed. If such amount is enough to
activate at least one of the two service lines, this one (or both of them) shall be proposed, and the relevant pushbutton
light will change from blue to green colour.
When pressing the button for service line A (or service line B), the display will briefly show paid amount and total time,
then the relevant relay will switch on, and remain on, for the set time. The display will show the progress of the count-
down, and the pushbutton will be blinking yellow until end of service time.
If it has been introduced a larger amount than the price for the service, the proportionally larger activation time shall be
displayed and activated.
