41. Coin meter

Manual

Alternative 2: Timed coin meter (Available only on the Swedish market)

When the coin slot with coin or token is pushed in, the slot actuates a catch which advances a wheel.

This actuates a microswitch which provides power (phase) to the automatic unit of the machine. It is now possible to start the machine.

The paid time has run out. The wheel is turned so that the microswitch cuts the phase to the automatic unit and timer motor. The washing programme is broken and the machine is emptied of its water.

If several coins or tokens are inserted simultaneously the coin meter provides power to the automatic unit for the total time that has been paid for, regardless of whether the machine is running or not. The time counting stops if the main switch is switched OFF and restart when the main switch is switched ON.

Time connected coin meters allow for the rapid advance by means of the start button. This may be required if a part of the programme cycle is to be ommitted.

Altering the running time of the coin meter – timed coin meter

Turn the time dial manually until the V-track filts in a cog on the black wheel.

Carefully lift off the time dial from the shaft with a small screwdriver.

Install the new time dial on the shaft.
