Hi-Performance Wash Systems Car Wash Equipment and Parts Supplier to the Rocky Mountain Region

INTRODUCTION 

Thank you for purchasing the TIMEMASTER TM-5J. This product has been designed and manufactured to provide years of trouble-free service. The TIMEMASTER 
housing is water resistant but should not be exposed to direct high-pressure spray. TIMEMASTER is not sensitive to normal heat range conditions and is protected 
against electromagnetic interference. 

While the TIMEMASTER is an extremely rugged device and was designed for adequate protection of its components during normal usage, it is recommended that the 
timer be enclosed in a sturdy housing (i.e. coin box or add-on box) to protect it from physical abuse. 

Handle the TIMEMASTER as you would an expensive VCR or computer. While the unit has been designed for operation in a rugged environment, rough handling or 
accidental abuse could cause damage. 

OVERVIEW 

This manual describes the following operations: 

Mechanical Installation  
Electrical Installation  
Timer Features and Programming  
Remote Control Operation 

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY 

Hi-Performance Wash Systems, Inc. warrants the TIMEMASTER car wash timer and remote controller against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one 
(1) year from the date of purchase. This warranty covers normal commercial use and does not cover damage that occurs in shipment or failure that results from alteration, 
accident, misuse, abuse, or improper installation. Hi-Performance Wash Systems will, at their option, repair or replace warranted timers. Repairs of any type may be 
obtained by sending the timer to Hi-Performance Wash Systems, Inc. 

GENERAL OPERATION 

The TIMEMASTER will time and control the functions associated with the operation of a single self-service car wash bay. The TIMEMASTER can also be used to time any 
electrically powered device through the use of a power relay. 

The customer will see the blue-green florescent display of the TIMEMASTER, which will be showing the minimum amount needed to start the car wash. 

As coins are deposited, the display will show the balance due in $.25 increments. Once the minimum amount to start is deposited, the display will show the total amount of 
time purchased. Additional coins may be deposited at any time to increase the total time. 

When the minimum amount to start has been deposited and more that three (3) seconds elapse without the customer depositing additional coins, the timer will begin its 
countdown showing minutes and seconds remaining. When one (1) minute remains in the timed cycle, the timer's horn output will activate for the programmed period and 
the display will flash its reminder message as it counts down the final minute. 

If the CHANGEOVER TIME harness has been wired and the timer programmed, the timer will stop timing for the programmed CHANGEOVER TIME period when that 
selection is made. CHANGEOVER TIME can be connected to up to four (4) wash selections. 

If the BONUS TIME program has been modified, customers will receive additional time for each coin they deposit after the minimum price to start has been deposited. 

If the GRACE TIME program has been activated, customers may deposit one coin to restart the timer after the time has elapsed.
