TEMPUS III
The Tempus III is an electronic payment collection
system that is in charge of selling either by time or by
impulses, and always for the exact change.
TEMPUS III LONG
TEMPUS III SHORT
TEMPUS III FOR INSETTING

The Tempus III controls the external devices that it governs through the activation and
deactivation of relays that will function depending on the configuration and programming of
the device. They may respond to both a series of internal signals (credit, clock periods...) as
well as external signals (consumption, activation, inputs...), and therefore its applications are
limitless.
The following are highlighted features of the TEMPUS III timer:
Great programming versatility, which makes it possible to have an infinite number of
Uses.
The admission of any kind of legal tender coin. It uses the AZKOYEN NN6 selector.
Accounting of the amount that the device has received.

5. Installation and adjustment of the Tempus III
5.1 Power supply
The packaging of the Tempus III includes a bag that
contains the elements shown to the right and which will be
necessary in order to install the device correctly.
As it was previously mentioned, the device requires a
power supply of 220 volts and 50 Hz.
Prepare pins for the phase and neutral cables of the line and
introduce them into openings 7 and 8 of the connector. Likewise,
put on the grounding terminal and use the nut and lock washer to
fasten it to the frame as shown in the diagrams.
It is beneficial to be able to cut the phase line with a
switch in order to be able to turn on and off the Tempus
without having to disconnect it from the electric system.
The ferrite included in the kit is
positioned and fastened to the
power supply cable.
Pins 5 and 6 are the outputs of the
Tempus, the load for which must
not exceed 6A.
In order to connect the Tempus III, prepare a cable bundle by starting with a 3-wire line (not
included), the dimensions of which will depend on the needs of each user.

Load
Optional
Switch
Optional
Button
One way to fasten it, as shown in
the figure, is by using rubber sleeves
and zip ties.
The optional switch that appears in the photograph
normally works closed, so that the Tempus can

5.2 Anchoring the Tempus III
There are various 4-mm holes on the frame of the Tempus that can be used to bolt it to the
support that is used in each case.
When anchoring the Tempus in its working position, pay special
attention to its inclination angles. The NN6 selector will not operate
correctly if the angle exceeds 3º on any of its axes.
Once the cable bundle is ready, it can be connected to the connector JP4 of the input-
output and power supply card.
If the positions of each hole are needed, see the "Weights and dimensions" section of this
manual.

6.Description of the Tempus III and replacement parts
6.1. NN6 Selector
The NN6 selector model is responsible for identifying the coins
introduced into the Tempus III. It has the capacity to admit 15 different
coin models.
The NN6 is responsible for controlling the
Tempus III, together with the control card + power
supply, and it depends on the Tempus for its
operating mode.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
In order for the selector to operate correctly, the
microswitches for selecting the operating mode
must be in the correct position and the connector that
communicates it with the control card + power
supply must be connected correctly:

Selector cable bundle
OPERATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPONENTS
The selector operation is based on measuring a series of parameters that are characteristic
of each coin and that allow the coin to be admitted or rejected. The coin diameter is
measured through two photo diodes and two phototransistors, and the electrical
conductivity and the magnetic permeability are determined using two coils with a ferrite
core (which are sensitive to magnetic variations).
Ferrite Photocells
After determining all of the parameters, they are then compared with the ones that were
previously programmed in the memory of the selector microprocessor during one of the
manufacturing phases. This programming is performed using sets of legal tender coins that
include all models existing in circulation. In this way, the selector will determine the validity or
the invalidity of the introduced coin and will direct it either to the coin bin or towards the coin
return box.
The main elements that make up the NN6 selector and that are essential for its operation
are described below:

TEMPUS III
PLATE AND ROCKER ARMS
PHOTOCELLS OF THE HOUSING AND HINGE
The mission of the inlet plate and rocker arm is to cushion the free fall of the coin, thereby
braking its entry. A coin is thus prevented from moving irregularly through and bouncing into
the selector, thereby providing uniform movement and rotation over the plastic brace located
next to the plate.
The lower rocker arm is positioned to stabilise the outlet speed of the coin from the selector,
braking it and allowing it exit correctly.
Inlet rocker arm
Outlet rocker arm
Plate
Plastic beam
Photocells
Two photo diodes are located on the hinge, and they are aligned perfectly with the two
phototransistors located on the housing. The photo diodes emit an infrared light beam that
the phototransistors receive. When a coin enters the selector, it passes through and cuts the
infrared light beams. According to the time that the coin takes to cut both light beams, the
selector is capable of determining the diameter of the coin in question.
FERRITES
The selector has two coils with facing ferrite cores. One is installed on the hinge and one on
the housing. These ferrites create a magnetic field and when a coin passes through, it
causes variations to the frequency, which allows the selector to measure the electric
conductivity and the magnetic permeability.

ANTI-RETURN SYSTEM
OBTURATOR ASSEMBLY
The function of the anti-return system is to prevent a coin from receding back from the
interior of the selector once it has been admitted. This system makes it impossible to commit
any fraud by using a wire connected to a coin.
This element is used for directing coins to the correct outlet. It is composed of a coil that is
activated when the coins are admitted, thereby un-blocking the outlet to the coin bin, and it
remains inactive when the coins are rejected so that they exit to the coin return box.
OUTLET PHOTOCELL
All valid coins that have exited on the correct path cut an infrared light beam between the
photo diode and the phototransistor located on the lower part of the selector in the outlet area
of the admitted coins. It is right at this moment when the selector determines the authenticity
of the coin.

INSTALLING THE NN6 SELECTOR IN THE TEMPUS III
The NN6 selector is fastened to the Tempus III using side pins that fit perfectly into the
holes of the metal housing, and in order to completely fasten the selector, a third pin is
anchored in the attachment tab (which is flexible in order to facilitate any subsequent
removal).

6.2. P.S. Card (Power Supply + Inputs/outputs)
The P.S. card is responsible for receiving and transmitting the data from the external
device to the selector and vice versa. It incorporates a power supply (transformer, rectifier,
stabiliser and filter) that is used to power the selector, the display card and the clock card
(an accessory used for applications in which a real time clock is necessary). It has various
connectors available for their corresponding wiring connections. The control relays of the
output device and the programming and accounting buttons are installed on it, as well as the
necessary fuse for protecting all elements of the Tempus III.
