1. INTRODUCTION
The Timesafe meter has been designed using modern technology to give an extremely reliable unit. The modular
construction allows for easy servicing when required. The meter is simple to install and requires no maintenance other
than regular emptying of the cash box. The operating characteristics as defined by BS-EN60730 are type 1B. The
meters comply to the latest EMC and Low Voltage directives, meeting EN60730-1:92, EN50082-1:92, EN55014:93,
and EN60555-2:87.
2. INSTALLATION
The ADM Timesafe meter is designed as an independently surface mounted
control, and can be corner mounted either left or right. It should not be installed
in locations where the ambient temperature exceeds 40ºC.
Lay the meter on its back and unlock and remove the cash box.
See Figure 1. Using a No. 1, nine inch pozidrive screwdriver remove the
recessed screw and remove the front panel by pulling towards base as far as
possible, lifting bottom edge slightly outwards and then lifting panel upwards.
IMPORTANT.
It is essential that panel recess is clear of case lip before at-
tempting to lift panel out. Rotate front panel and withdraw nine way
connector from printed circuit board thus separating front panel from the
meter case. Set programming switches (as shown in Section 3) and place
panel in a safe place.
iii. Position the case on the wall and mark the top centre fixing position. Plug
the wall and fit with No. 8 or 10 screw of not less than 22mm. Hang case
on screw and tighten, use a spirit level to ensure the case is perfectly level.
If the case is not level the coin mechanism may malfunction.
iv. Mark the bottom two screw positions, remove case and plug the holes.
Remove the cable knockouts as required and fix to the wall.
v. Using a fused double pole switch for the mains input, wire the unit as
shown in Figure 2.
IMPORTANT.
Use cable of crossectional area not less
than 1.0sq. mm and fuse at 5A. The use of 20mm conduit is recommended
(use male thread adaptor with lock-ring e.g. Ega type EMA 1ZM).
Alternatively fit a 20mm nylon compression cable gland to provide strain relief.
NOTE.
To avoid irreparable damage to the unit if loads greater than 4.5A are connected to the ADM Meter a
non-resettable 5A fuse is fitted. If this fuse is blown it should be replaced by a competent technician or returned to the
factory for replacement.
