from 100 msec (pulse) up to several hours (time span). The programming software allows to set the time as fixed time
span against credit, or as time accumulator according to the additional coins introduced during operation.
The unit can be installed outdoor, provided it is located in a position conveniently sheltered from unfavourable weather
conditions.

4. Electrical connections
Electrical cables must not be powered during installation!
The TIMEBOX S is available for 4 different power supply values: 230Vac, 24Vac, 24Vdc, 12Vdc. When
placing your orders, please specify which presetting you need: the interface Servo-board shall be prepared
accordingly.
The interface Servo-board is used to produce 12Vdc power to the coin acceptor, and to provide as well the relay dry
contact when the coin acceptor sends out the credit signal.
A 10p flat cable connects the acceptor to the Servo-board.
This one is also connected to the Timebox chassis by a Ground terminal.
Power the Servo-board on the 3p socket J1, according to the following pattern:
230 Vac 24Vac 24Vdc 12Vdc
Pin 3: line 230Vac line24Vac +24Vdc +12Vdc
Pin 2: neutral neutral 0Vdc 0Vdc
Pin 1: GND GND
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 relay transmission of power supply:
Connect one end from power supply straight to the actuator i.e electrical motor, solenoid, a.s.o.). Connect the other one
to pin 1 (COM 1) of J2 connector.
If operation mode is “normally open”, take a wire to the 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 a wire to the actuator from pin 3 (N.C. 1).
Connections to start the equipment by one clean relay switch:
Take a wire to the actuator from pin 1 (COM 1) of the J2 connector.
If operation mode is “normally open”, take another wire to the actuator from pin 2 (N.O. 1).
If operation mode must be “normally closed”, take such wire from pin 3 (N.C. 1).

5. Operation
Drop coins in until the credit value demanded for starting service is obtained.
When totalizing the requested amount, the coin accepot will start a pulse signal that will generate current
passage between COM1 and N.O.1, while switching open between COM1 and N.C.1.
The pulse will last as long as the time programmed in the coin acceptor, corresponding to the service price
set. The relay contacts will remain activated as long as such pulse lasts.
