Wyvern Timer 2000R Operating Instructions
The Wyvern 2000R Timer offers an extensive range of features to suit virtually all coin/card
timer applications. Advanced electronic control provides programmable options allowing up to
six different coins to be recognised, peak and off-peak timing cycles, smart card operation,
together with profit sharing facilities. Both switched outputs are voltage free; this means the
Wyvern 2000R can be used to switch a load operating from any voltage, not just mains
operated equipment. A full description of voltage free and load switching appears on pages 6
and 7.
Figure 1 shows the main operational features and this manual provides all information for
correct installation and programming.
Timer Operation
The Wyvern 2000R may be programmed to operate in one of four modes as described below.
The explanations all use UK coinage as examples but the principles apply for all currencies.
1. Fixed time
For fixed time operation the session cost or session time options are not programmed, so
the Wyvern 2000R operates using the times allocated to the coins (options 31 to 42, page
16). The timer turns ON as soon as the first coin is inserted and the time incremented with each
additional coin.
2. Session time
With session time sufficient coins must be inserted to meet a specified amount of time before
the timer turns ON. To activate session time options 08 to 09 are programmed (page 15), but
not session cost (options 04 to 05, page 20). The timer will only activate when coins equalling
the session time have been inserted. For example if the Wyvern 2000R were programmed with
a session time of 19 minutes the timer would only start when coins equal to 19 minutes are
inserted. The timer will flash the character ‘A’, and display the total time as each coin is added.
Upon insertion of the final coin, the display will show 19:00 and the timer will turn ON and start
counting down
3. Session cost
With session cost sufficient coins must be inserted to meet a specified price before the timer
turns ON. To activate session cost options 04 to 05 are programmed (page 20), but not session
time (options 08 to 09, page 15). The timer will only activate when coins equalling the session
cost have been inserted. For example if the Wyvern 2000R were programmed with a session
cost of £3.80, the timer would only start when coins to the value of £3.80 are inserted. The timer
will flash the character ‘A’, and display the total amount of money added. When the displayed
value reaches 380, meeting the £3.80 session cost, the timer will turn ON, and start counting
down.
4. Combined session cost and session time
With combined session cost and session time sufficient coins must be inserted to meet a
specified price before the timer turns ON for a specified time, even if this time is different from
the time allocated to the coins making up the session cost. To activate combined session cost
and time, options 04 to 05 (page 20) and options 08 to 09 (page 15), are programmed. The
addition of further coins is influenced by program code 30 (page 26). Once the initial cost is met,
if program code 30 is not set, further coins will add the time allocated for that coin (codes 31 to
42, page 16). If program code 30 is set to proportional session (3004) further coins to meet the
session cost must be inserted. For example If the Wyvern 2000R were programmed with a
session time of 5 minutes and a session cost of £3.80, the timer would turn ON after £3.80 has
been inserted and would run for 5 minutes. With program code 30 set to proportional session
coins totalling £3.80 must be inserted for an additional 5 minutes. However if program code 30
