3 Installation and maintenance
3.1 Mounting
The unit is provided for fixed wiring and assembly in rooms. For fixing the device there are three
drillings with a diameter of 6 mm at the back side. It must be taken care that the case is mounted
vertically, because otherwise the functioning of the coin selector may be reduced. The EMS 8x
should be mounted at a solid wall in order to avoid heavy vibrations.

3.2 Electrical installation
The installation of the EMS-8x is limited to the connection of the main power supply and the
switched outputs according to the connection survey:
CAUTION :
Arrange that the mounting is accomplished by an authorized electric company. The
electrical connection must be performed by an electrically skilled person
Electrically skilled and qualified personnel must be able to read and understand
electric circuit diagrams, to commission and maintain electrical systems, to wire
switch and control cabinets, to install controlling software, to ensure proper
functioning of electrical components and to identify possible hazards in the work
with electric and electronic systems.
Since this is a stationary device with a fixed main power supply, an RCBO must be
installed on the installation side
Requirements:
•main power supply is power-less
•RCBO is switched off
The following wire cross sections must be used for connection:
•Conductor cross section (1 wire): 2,5 mm²
•Conductor cross section stranded: 2,5 mm²
•Conductor cross section stranded
(in ferrule without plastic collar): 1,5 mm²
Stripping length: 8-9 mm

exert a slight pressure on the spring. Do not turn the screwdriver!
2. Insert the stripped wire through the round clamp opening into the opened spring
cage.
3. Remove the screwdriver.
4. Check the fixed position of the conductor by gently pulling the cable!
CAUTION:
Do not push the wire into the square clamp opening
Do not push the wire into the clamp before clamp is fully opened (refer to

Operation
After final programming a time sale can be effected with the EMS-8x. The following description
refers to factory default programming of the EMS-8x.
.1 Time selling
The EMS-8x has a 3-digit LED-Display, that shows the customer the current state of the device. A
survey you can find in the following figure.
Before starting the payment, the device must be free, i.e. the display must show ”0”. After insertion
of the first coin, the EMS-8x indicates the released time. As far as the minimum insertion is not
achieved, the time is indicated flashing. When the min. insertion is achieved by inserting a further
coin, the display does not flash any more and the device starts. If further coins are inserted, the
currently released time is indicated. If the maximum time is achieved, the coin selector will be
blocked and additional coins can not be inserted anymore.
While the time runs down, the decimal point will blink and the displayed time will decrease by one
every minute that expires. During the last minute the display changes and the remaining seconds
are displayed. After the time has run out completely the display shows „0“ and the output shuts
off.
.2 Door opener EMS-8x-TE
This feature is mainly provided for washing machines and dryers. As some washing machines or
dryers need power in order to open the door, the EMS-8x-TE owns a push button at the front, that
can be used for switching the output for a moment. The duration can be determined by parameter
P36 within the programming area. During this time the door of the device may be opened. This
procedure may be repeated as often as programmed at parameter P35. If the key was pressed too
often, the door opener will be blocked for a certain time. This time can be programmed with
parameter P3 . After the blocking time has run out the output can be switched again as described
before.
