1.0 SWITCH SETTINGS
To set a switch ON, depress the right side of the switch until it clicks into position
down. To turn a switch OFF, depress the left side until it clicks into position down.
1.1 COIN SETTING
Set the switches labelled COINS TO START such that they total the number of
coins required to start the timer. For example, to start the timer on 3 coins, set
switches 1 and 2 on. To start the timer on 6 coins, set switches 2 and 4 on. If all
the coin switches are off, the timer will require 16 coins to start.
1.2 TIME SETTING
Set the switches labelled SECONDS PER COIN such that they total the number of
seconds per coin that the timer is to operate for. For example, to configure the
timer for 30 seconds per coin, set switches 2, 4, 8, and 16 ON. To configure the
timer for 40 seconds per coin, set switches 8 and 32 ON. If all the time switches
are OFF, the timer will be set for 1 second per coin. The total time that the timer
will operate for, once started, is equal to the seconds per coin multiplied by the
coins to start. Coins deposited while the timer is operating will result in additional
time being added to the total time (each pulse will add the value of the seconds
per coin to the time left). The maximum time that may be accumulated is 9 hours,
6 minutes, and 7 seconds (timers with serial numbers previous to 5380 have a
maximum accumulated time of 68 minutes and 15 seconds).
1.3 3-SECOND START DELAY
When the switch labelled 3secStartDelayis set ON, the timer will wait for 3
seconds after the required number of coins have been deposited before starting. If
this switch is OFF, the timer will start immediately when the required number of
coins have been deposited.
1.4 1-COIN RESTART
When the switch labelled 1CoinRestart is set ON, the timer can be restarted with a single coin by depositing a coin at any time
within the 20 second time period after time has expired. Once the 20 second time period has finished, the full number of coins to
start the timer is required. The timer will flash a light if attached to the 1COIN RESTART terminal during the 20 second time period
to indicate that the timer can be restarted with a single coin. If this switch is OFF, the full number of coins to start the timer will be
required once time has expired.
1.5 LAST MINUTE ALERT
The switch labelled LMA/1minCont and LMA/5secPulse determines how a horn or light attached to the LAST MINUTE ALERT
terminal functions. When set to LMA/5secPulse, the timer pulses the LAST MINUTE ALERT terminal for 5 seconds when there is 1
minute of time remaining (this setting is typically chosen when a horn is connected to the LAST MINUTE ALERT terminal). When
set to LMA/1minCont, the timer turns the LAST MINUTE ALERT terminal on continuously for the last minute of time (this setting is
typically chosen when a light is connected to the LAST MINUTE ALERT terminal).
2.0 INDICATOR LIGHTS
The green POWER light on the timer shows that power is being supplied to the timer. The red LOAD light indicates that the timer
has been started and that the output to the load is currently being timed.
3.0 RESET
The reset button resets the timer and cancels any existing time. Use a pen or similar object to press the recessed reset button.
4.0 COIN VERIFICATION
A horn connected to the LAST MINUTE ALERT terminal will also provide coin verification. When a coin is accepted, the timer will
beep the horn to acknowledge that a coin has been accepted. For electronic coin acceptors that give multiple pulses for a single
coin, the horn will beep for each pulse received.
5.0 POWER-UP/RESET STATUS
When power is applied to the timer or the timer is reset by pressing the reset button, the timer indicates that it is operating correctly
by sounding the Last Minute Alert horn and flashing the 1 Coin Restart light for 1 second (provided that either a horn or a light are
installed).
