1.1. What is a Tempus III

1.2. Where can you use a Tempus III

A Tempus III is an electronic apparatus that sells time and impulses. The practical applications of a Tempus III are the on/off control of different apparatus such as: control of televisions and carwashes in time sale mode and photocopiers in impulse sale mode.

The Tempus III controls the external mechanisms that it regulates by activating and deactivating relays, which will operate in one way or another depending on the configuration and programming of the apparatus. These can respond both to internal signals (credits, clock period, etc.) and to external signals (consumption, activation, input, etc.) so it has countless applications.

The Tempus III timers have the following features:

Great programming versatility, providing infinite uses.

Admission of any type of coins of legal tender. Use the selector AZKOYEN NN6.

Display showing the time, number of services or credits available.

Accounting of the amount in pesetas that the apparatus has received (without resetting)

Consumption detector (adjustable) in output making it possible to stop the time when there is no charge.

There are many and varied applications for the Tempus III timers. Below we point out the most representative:

Tempus III to control the lighting of tennis courts and sports centres.


Tempus III to control photocopiers.

Tempus III to control televisions.

Tempus III to control children's amusement arcades.

Tempus III to control carwashes and vacuum-cleaning systems

Tempus III to control computers in Cybercafés..


2. Physical and technical characteristics

TEMPUS III - 11 -

As described above the selector admits all coins of legal tender and has the capacity to validate up to 15 different types. It can be used for coins of any country after this has been factory-programmed. The dimensions of the possible coins admitted by the selector must be between the margins specified in the following table:

2.2.4. Operating conditions

To achieve optimum operation of the apparatus a series of basic requirements must be satisfied with respect to where the Tempus III is installed and how it is fitted. These are the following:

Inclination margin: 3º in all the axes.

Temperature margin: Operation: +5 to + 55ºC.Storage: -25 to +70ºC

Humidity margin: Maximum 95% (Relative humidity without condensation).

OYK ENZA

2.2.5. Component operation and description

The selector operates by measuring a series of typical parameters of each coin, which will determine whether it is admitted or rejected. The diameter of the coin is measured by means of two photodiodes and two phototransistors and the electrical conductivity and magnetic field permeability are determined using two coils with ferrite cores (which are very sensitive to magnetic variations).

Ferrite core Photocells

Once all the parameters have been obtained, these are compared with the ones that have been programmed earlier in the selector microprocessor memory during one of the manufacturing phases. This programming is carried out using a set of coins of legal tender that include all the existing models in circulation. Thus the selector will determine the validity or nullity of the coin inserted and will direct it towards the coin bin or towards the return box.

The main elements that comprise the NN6 selector and which are essential for its operation are described below:


2.2.5.1. Terminal strip and rockers

2.2.5.2. Photocells of the housing and the hinge

The aim of the terminal strip and the input rocker is to dampen the free fall of the coin, slowing down its entry, thus preventing it from entering the selector in an irregular fashion, bouncing, and achieving a suitable uniform and rotation movement on the plastic bar situated next to the terminal strip.

The lower rocker is fitted to stabilise the coin speed coming out of the selector, slowing it down and getting it to come out in the most adequate fashion.

TEMPUS III - 13 -

Input rocker

Outlet rocker

Terminal strip

Plastic bar

Photocells

Two photodiodes are located in the hinge, which are perfectly aligned with the two phototransistors placed in the housing. The photodiodes emit an infrared light beam, which the phototransistors receive. When the coin enters the selector it crosses and cuts the infrared light beam. Depending on how long it takes for the coin to cut both light beams, the selector is able to determine the diameter of the coin in question.

OYK ENZA

2.2.5.3. Ferrite cores

2.2.5.4. Anti-return system

2.2.5.5. Obturator unit

The selector has two face-to-face coils with ferrite core. One is installed in the hinge and the other in the housing. These ferrite cores create a magnetic field, which, when crossed by a coin, causes variations in the frequency, permitting the selector to measure the electrical conductivity and magnetic field permeability.

The function of the anti-return system is to prevent the coin from re-entering the selector once it has been admitted. This system prevents frauds produced by attaching a thread to the coin.

This element is used to direct the coins to the right outlet. It is comprised of a coil, which is activated when the coins are admitted, freeing the outlet towards the coin bin and which remains inactive when it rejects them so that they come out towards the recovery box.

2.2.5.6. Outlet photocell

.

The valid coins that have come out correctly, cut the infrared light beam established between the photodiode and the phototransistor located on the lower part of the selector, in the outlet area for admitted coins. This is exactly when the selector determines the authenticity of the coin.

2.2.6. Placing the selector NN6 in Tempus III

The NN6 selector is secured to the Tempus III through its side pivots. Two of these pivots fit perfectly into the holes of the metal housing, and in order to totally secure the selector, a third pivot is anchored in the retainer (flexible to facilitate later removal).

Anchorage of the selector


2.2.7. Cleaning and maintenance of the NN6 selector

The only maintenance that the NN6 selector requires depends on how soiled the coins are, as this can obstruct its optical elements.

If the coins have to be inserted several times before being accepted this is an unmistakable sign that the selector has accumulated dirt on its photodiodes or phototransistors and has to be cleaned.

The cleaning must be done with 96º ethyl alcohol. Products containing benzene hydrocarbons must not be used, as they would produce a rapid degradation of the plastic, which in turn would cause irreparable damage to the selector.

Before cleaning, the two parts of the selector, housing and hinge, must be separated it. Then, using a brush (fine vegetable fibre bristles, never metal ones) impregnated in alcohol, clean the areas where the photodiodes and phototransistors are located, in order to completely clean the holes where these are located.

After the cleaning process, in order for the selector to operate correctly, it must be left to dry at room temperature for twelve hours (a household dryer can also be used for 10 minutes).


2.3. Control card + power supplyThe control card + power supply is responsible for receiving and transmitting data

from the external device to the selector and vice-versa. It includes the power supply (transformer, rectifier, stabiliser and filter), which is used to supply the selector, the display card and clock card (an accessory used for applications where a clock in real time is required). It has several connectors for its relative connection. The control relays of the outlet device and the accounting and programming control pushbuttons are installed in it, as well as the fuses necessary to protect all the elements of the Tempus III.

2.3.2. Output relays

The Cont. and Test pushbuttons are used to view the accounting on the display and to access the apparatus programming. They can be used to select the functions within the programming menu and to enter them to modify them or validate them.

The K1 relay is used to control the charge as with its contacts it connects and disconnects the supply voltage to the connector pins (to the charge) and it is able to control up to 6A. A consumption sensor has been installed on this relay, which enables a pause to be made in the time discount when it detects that there is no consumption in the outlet. It has a 6A protection fuse.

2.3.4. JP1 Connector

The consumption sensor is used to stop the time discount when the system detects that the charge is not in operation. It operates with the charge connected to the K1 relay and it can be adjusted by means of a potentiometer.

In order for the consumption sensor to operate it must be enabled by programming.

If, once the consumption sensor has been enabled, the charge apparatus does not work correctly; it will have to be adjusted. To do this, it must be taken into account that the luminous indicator (Led diode) of the control card + power supply must stay off when the charge is not activated and must light up when this is connected. If it does not do so, the consumption sensor must be adjusted with potent iometer R16 (us ing a f i ne f l a t screwdriver) until the luminous indicator behaves as described.

The display card is connected to the 4-way connector JP2 with the timer display bundle. If the apparatus requires the clock card in order to operate, the latter must be coupled to JP2 so the timer display bundle of the display card must be connected to the clock card (to the only connector that this card has). See accessory section.

JP3 is used in special applications where an outside input of the device controlled (charge) must be used. It is also used to access different programming menus.


2.3.7. JP4 ConnectorThe main input (pins 7 and 8) and the charge output (pins 5 and 6) must be

connected to connector, JP4. The outlet for a possible input from the charge apparatus and the contacts of relay K2 (for special uses) is also located.

When K1 relay is activated pin 5 connects to pin 7 so the power outlet for the outside apparatus (charge) must be taken from pins 5 and 6 of connector JP4.

There is no potential in pins 1 and 2 and when K2 relay is activated, it short-circuits these pins.

The circuit of each relay contains a 6A protection fuse in series.

The display card has a connector used to join it to the control card + power supply by means of the t imer display bundle.

The display card is secured inside the metal housing of the Tempus III with two screws and to correctly view the displays, the display glass is fitted into the cabinet.

There are two models of display card, the only difference being that one has protection against water and humidity. So, there is a tropicalised one and a non-tropicalised one depending on the model and application.

2.6. Coin bin

2.7. Locking system

The Tempus III has two different types of coin bins, the long coin bin subunit used for models with long cabinet and which has the capacity to house up to 600 100-peseta coins, and the coin bin subunit used for models with short cabinet and which can store 200 100-peseta coins at the most.

Long coin bin Short coin bin

Reference: ZT42910341-0 Reference: ZT42911630-0

The locking system is based on a STS 625.008 lock, which, when turned, moves a washer that is fixed to two rods, one of which moves upwards and the other downwards fitting into their relative places. Thus the door is perfectly anchored to the cabinet making the Tempus III extremely secure against possible attempts of theft.

3. Programming: Accounting and operating modes

The different operating modes of the Tempus III are studied in detail in this chapter, as well as the programming and practical applications depending on the operating mode configured. The way to access the accounting of the apparatus is explained.

3.1. AccountingThe accounting of the Tempus III is viewed quickly and simply by activating the

CONT pushbutton, located on the control card + power supply. Once depressed, the display will show the amount taken divided by one hundred:

Accounting on display = Takings 100

So, in order to know how much has been taken, the figure shown on the display must be multiplied by 100. The amount obtained will be the total accounting of the apparatus. For example:

Message on the display = 1873Amount taken = 187.300 pesetas (with a margin of error of +95 ptas. - 0 ptas.)-

3.2. Applications of the different operating modes

The following table gives some of the most common applications of the Tempus III linking them with the different operating modes so that, depending on your specific application, you can select the most suitable configuration and programming according to your needs:


3.3. Timer operating mode A

3.3.1. Description and general characteristics

The timer operating mode A comprises the sale of a time

period of between 1 minute and 100 hours (99 hours and 59 minutes).

This operating mode of the Tempus III is used for applications where the services require times of several minutes or even hours. Therefore, the Tempus III must be programmed with the value of the price/hour of the service and it will be responsible for supplying the time corresponding to the credit inserted, providing this is the same as or greater than the minimum coin insertion (which is a programmable amount).

When the credit reaches the minimum coin insertion value programmed, the timer activates relays K1 and K2 simultaneously and they stay activated until the time granted has been totally discounted.

The main characteristics, which indicate the functionality of this working mode, are:

Unitary inhibition of all the coins, programmable by the user.

Direct viewing of the accounting.

Programming the luminous intensity of the display.

Possibility of programming two different price tariffs, which can be changed depending on the time or through an outside input. Display of the time remaining, making the discount every minute with the last minute blinking on and off.

Possibility of erasing the accumulated time.

Programming time for tests without this affecting the accounting.

Possibility of detaining the time discount if the outside apparatus is not operating (except in 24 and 48 hour modes).

Programming the minimum credit insertion required for the first time period granted.

In order for the Tempus III to work in this operating mode it has to be configured. This is done with the four microswitches of selector NN6, which must be in the following positions for timer mode A


3.3.2.3.Operation confirmation of the charge:

The Tempus III also has two activation confirmation possibilities for the outside apparatus:

3.3.2.4. Direct activation of the relays:

For those applications where it may be useful, the Tempus III has a direct relay activation input through connector JP3, which will become effective when the two terminals of JP3 are short-c i rcui ted and there is no accumulated time. If this input is activated (short-circuited) when the Tempus III is offering a service (it has accumulated time), the time discount will stop.

3.3.2.5. Tariff changes and use of tariff 2:

Tariff 2 can have many uses depending on the application of the Tempus III. The most normal use is to change the tariff depending on the time (carrying out two different timetables or creating the usual "happy hour"). To do this there is an accessory called clock card, which provides the Tempus III with the real time and permits the user to program a time interval each day, which can be used either to offer a free daily service or to use the second tariff (for further information about the clock card see accessories section).

The tariff change can also be carried out by using an outside input, which will short-circuit pins 2 and 3 of connector JP5 of the control card + power supply

When tariff 1 is changed to tariff 2, or the other way round, and the apparatus is carrying out a service, this service will be affected by more or less time depending on the sales prices of tariffs 1 and 2.

3.3.2.6. Operation in 24 and 48 hour mode:

The Tempus III has two special operating modes, which consist of 24 or 48 hour sale.

The 24 or 48 hour operating mode can be programmed by the user, so that when the credit inserted it is sufficient to activate either of the two modes, the Tempus III will grant 24 or 48 hours' operation (depending on the credit) with uninterrupted time discount regardless of whether the outside apparatus is operating or not. With only two exceptions:

If the JP3 input is activated. (Stoppage of outside discount).

If it is on free clock period. (Stoppage due to free service).

The margin of time between when the coin is inserted and when the time discount starts is 15 seconds. Thus the credit necessary to grant 24 or 48 hours can be reached, without the time discount starting during the coin insertion interval.

If the 24 or 48 hours are granted and more credit is inserted, the time granted under normal tariff will be discounted after the period of 24 or 48 hours.

3.3.2.7. Maximum time that can be supplied:

When the apparatus shows the maximum time: 99.59 hours, on the display, it will not take any more coins, and these will be rejected by the selector and sent to the recovery box.

3.3.2.8. Minimum coin insertion:

A minimum credit insertion can be programmed on the Tempus III for the first period

of time granted, so that until that credit is reached, the display will show 00.00 and will not activate the output relays.


3.3.3. Programming

The general programming menu in timer mode A is comprised of 17 functions, three of which have direct access through the TEST button, these being the ones that configure the so-called personal menu.

The operation mode within the programming is very simple as can be seen from the following indications:

Advance from one functionto another by depressing the TEST button

Press the CONT buttonto access the desiredfunction and modify it

All the functions that comprise the general programming menu are described below. The first three functions, with direct access, are the ones that make up the personal menu. The rest are hidden functions of the general menu. The way to access and go from one menu to another is also explained:

Personal menu:

Used by the collectors, it is comprised only of the three functions from the general menu, which can be accessed directly. These functions are the basic ones to be able to carry out operating tests and do not affect important parameters such as times and prices of the services.

Access by depressing TEST until the message appears on the display with maximum luminous intensity. When this pushbutton is released the first function of the personal menu will blink on and off:

Time erasure

This function enables the time that the Tempus III contains to be erased at any time and is mainly used to erase the time used for tests. By depressing the CONT button the display changes to / and this option can be rejected by depressing CONT again. By depressing TEST, the order indicated on the display at that time is executed.

Function 1


A free time service can be programmed with this function without it affecting the accounting. The number of minutes desired for the free period must be programmed In

xxxx. Once validated, the display will show it in hours.minutes format. The free service will start the discount as soon as the programming menu is exited.

To program the free service depress CONT and the display will show: / which indicates that it is ready to program the hundreds and thousands

that increase by successively depressing the CONT button or by keeping it depressed for fast forward. When TEST is depressed the display changes to / and the units and tens are programmed in the same way as above.

The maximum time that can be programmed in this function will be:

The equivalent, in tariff 1, of the maximum coin insertion without 24 hour grant (price of 24 hours minus 5 pts.).

With this function a longer period of time than that programmed in function can be programmed, if the 24-hour function has been prepared. The time charged

in the timer will not affect the accounting and on being time in 24-hour Mode it will continue discounting although the outside apparatus is disconnected. The programming range is between 0 and 9999 minutes and the programming method, similar to the previous function, is as follows:

When CONT is depressed, the display will show: / w h i c h indicates that it is ready to program the hundreds and thousands that are increased by successively depressing the CONT button, or by keeping it depressed if fast forward is desired. When TEST is depressed the display changes to / and starts to program the units and tens in the same way as the above. If TEST is depressed again, the amount programmed is validated and the function is exited.

The hidden functions of the general programming menu can be accessed and displayed by short-circuiting the two pins of connector JP3 and then depressing TEST. If TEST is depressed without short-circuiting these pins, the programming is exited going onto the work status.

This is used to program the price for a 48 hour service. It is programmed in exactly the same way as the 24-hour price, the only consideration to be taken into account being that the 48-hour price can never be less than the 24-hour price. If a lower price is programmed for the 48-hour service than for the 24-hour one, the menu will return to function 5 and will program the 24-hour price again.

This selects the element that the Tempus III will use to confirm the activation of the outside apparatus. This option is very useful to stop the time discount in the event that it detects that the charge is not operating.

If / is programmed, an outside input (pins 3 and 4 of connector JP4) is used, and if, by depressing CONT / is programmed, the timer will use the adjustable consumption sensor of the control card + power supply.

The luminous intensity or brightness of the display is adjusted so that it is appropriate for the work surroundings. There are five different levels of luminous intensity and they can be changed by depressing CONT. The programmed intensity will only be active in working status as both during accounting reading and programming the maximum luminous intensity is used.

The functions described below will only appear on the general menu when the clock card is connected. If this card is not connected when validating function 12 Tempus III will exit the programming menu.

This is used to enable the clock card, if / is validated, the Tempus III will not heed the clock card data and if TEST is depressed it will exit the programming menu. If, on the contrary CONT is depressed and / i s programmed, when this option is validated depressing TEST the TEMPUS III will take into account the real time and the functions related to the clock card may be accessed. These functions are described below.

3.4. Timer operating mode B


The timer operating mode B comprises the sale of a time

period of between 1 second and 9999 seconds.

This operating mode of the Tempus III is used for applications which require greater precision and where the services are measured in seconds. Therefore, the Tempus III must be programmed with the values and time of the service and it will be responsible for supplying the time corresponding to the credit inserted, providing this is the same as or greater than the price of a service. When the credit reaches this value, the timer activates relay K1 and it will stay activated until the time granted has been exhausted.

3.4.2.3 Operation confirmation of the charge:

The Tempus III also has the possibility to confirm activation of the outside apparatus, which is done through an outside input by pins 3 and 4 of connector JP4 (if the outside apparatus is activated, pins 3 and 4 of JP4 must be short-circuited).

3.4.2.4 Direct activation of relay K1:

For those applications where it may be useful, the Tempus III has a direct activation input for relay K1 through connector JP3, which will become effective when the two terminals of JP3 are short-circuited and there is no accumulated time. If this input is activated (short-circuited) when the Tempus II is offering a service (it has accumulated time), the time discount will stop.

3.4.2.5 Tariff changes and use of tariff 2:

Tariff 2 can have many uses depending on the application of the Tempus III. The most normal use is to change the tariff depending on the time (carrying out two different timetables or creating the usual "happy hour"). To do this there is an accessory called clock card, which provides the Tempus III with the real time and permits the user to program a time interval each day, which can be used either to offer a free daily service or to use the second tariff (for further information about the clock card see accessories section).

The tariff change can also be carried out by using an outside input, which will short-circuit pins 2 and 3 of connector JP5 of the control card + power supply

When tariff 1 is changed to tariff 2, or the other way round, and the apparatus carrying out a service, this service will be affected by more or less time depending on the sales prices of tariffs 1 and 2.

3.4.2.6 Maximum time that can be supplied:

3.5. Starter mode operation

Starter mode operation consists in the sale of a power supply time, which is used to activate the automatism of the charge apparatus.


This operating mode of the Tempus III is used for applications where the services only require a supply impulse (220 Vac.) used to start up the automatism of the machine it controls. Therefore, the value of the price/service must be programmed and this will be responsible for supplying the power during the necessary time (programmable between 1 and 9999 seconds) to activate the charge apparatus.

When the credit reaches the programmed service price value, relays K1 and K2 are activated simultaneously and remain in this status until the time granted has been exhausted.

3.6. Photocopier control operating mode A


The operation in photocopier control mode A consists in the sale of impulses, which activate the setting up of the charge. The impulse will end when confirmation is obtained of the end of the last service by means of outside input.

This operating mode of the Tempus III is used for applications where on/off impulses of an indefinite time are required until the conclusion of a specific service. Therefore the Tempus III requires information about the conclusion of the service, so that it can discount it from the accumulated value that appears on the display and, if it is the last, stop the setting up of the charge. The service price value will have to be programmed in the Tempus III and will be responsible for supplying the impulses depending on the credit inserted, ending when confirmation is obtained of the execution of the last service.

When the credit reaches the programmed service price value, the Tempus III activates relays K1 and K2 simultaneously and remains so until the number of services granted have been totally discounted.

The main characteristics, which indicate the functionality of this working mode are:

3.7. Photocopier control operating mode B


The operation in photocopier control mode B consists in the sale of impulses, which activate the setting up of the charge. The impulse will end when confirmation is obtained of the end of each service by means of outside input.

This operating mode of the Tempus III is used for applications where on/off impulses of an indefinite time are required until the conclusion of a specific service. Therefore the Tempus III requires information about the conclusion of the service, so that it can discount it from the accumulated value that appears on the display and stop the setting up of the charge whilst this signal lasts. The service price value will have to be programmed in the Tempus III and it will be responsible for supplying the impulses depending on the credit inserted, ending when confirmation is obtained of the execution of the last service.

When the credit reaches the programmed service price value, the Tempus III activates relays K1 and K2 simultaneously and remains so until it receives the end of service signal, which will deactivate them for 100 milliseconds, activating them again if it has credit remaining.

3-4 Service end sensor input. The charge apparatus must informof the end of each service by short-circuiting these pins.On stand-by they will remain open

5-6 Not used (Output of relay K1 of 220 Vac with 6 A protection fuse when the Tempus III has services).

7-8 Supply voltage of the Tempus III (220 VAc.).

In order for the Tempus III to work in this operating mode It has to be configured. This is done with the four microswitches of selector NN6, which must be in the following positions for photocopier control mode B:


3.7.2.3 Tariff change and discount input

The Tempus III has an outside input used to change the tariff through pins 2 and 3 of connector Jp5:

As two different tariffs are used, there are also end of service inputs depending on the tariff used:

PINS 2 AND 3 OF JP5 APPLICABLE TARIFF

OPEN TARIFF 1

CLOSED TARIFF 2

APPLICABLE TARIFF DISCOUNT INPUT



If the tariff is changed before the accumulated services have ended the Tempus III will grant the equivalent to the operative tariff.

The conditions, which the end of service output signal of the apparatus, connected to the Tempus III, must satisfy are the following:

The output signal must be stable and last for at least 30 milliseconds.

There must be at least 100 milliseconds' separation between output signals.

3.7.3. Programming

:

The general programming menu for photocopier control mode A is comprised of four functions, which are directly accessed through the TEST button.


All the functions that comprise the general programming menu are described below. To access them activate TEST pushbutton unti l the display shows the message with maximum luminous intensity. When this pushbutton is released the first function of the menu will blink on and off:

Service erasure

This function enables the number of services that the Tempus III contains to be erased at any time and is mainly used to erase the services used for tests. By depressing the CONT button the display changes to / and this option can be rejected by depressing CONT again. By depressing TEST, the order indicated on the display at that time is executed.

Function 1

Advance from one function to another by depressing the TEST button




Function 2

Xxxx


To program the service value depress CONT, then the display will show:/ which indicates that it is ready to program the hundreds and thousands,

which can be increased by successively depressing the CONT button or by keeping it depressed for fast forward. By depressing TEST the display changes to

/ and goes on to program the units and tens in the same way as the above.


Xx00.

00.00


Function 3

Xxxx

This function is used to be able to program the value of a second service price. To program it proceed in a similar fashion to that indicated in the previous function for tariff 1.

Coin inhibition

Function 4

This function is used to be able to inhibit the types of coins desired. Selector NN-6 will reject them.

By depressing CONT the value of the coin programmed in the selector and its status will blink on and off the display: 5 / or . ON means that that coin will be admitted and OFF means that it is inhibited and, therefore, will be rejected. To change the status of the coin and admit it or inhibit it depress CONT. To advance and validate depress TEST.

When programming the acceptance or rejection of the 500-peseta coin and it is validated by depressing TEST, the TEMPUS III will exit the programming to go on to the working status.

4. Accessories4.1. Clock card

Clock card


This is an accessory that can be attached to the Tempus III and that is used for specific applications where a clock in real time is required, as for example in places where promotions are carried out depending on the time (happy-hour). It can also be used to give a free service per day or to apply the second tariff at a certain time.

Furthermore, the Tempus III uses the clock card to discount the time without interruption when working in 24 or 48-hour mode although the apparatus is disconnected during some periods of time.

To enable the clock card in a time period the Tempus III programming must be accessed, proceeding as described in the programming sections of the different operating modes.

The clock card must be connected with the Tempus III switched off.

The clock card must be connected to connector JP2 of the control card + power supply. To do this the display bundle must be disconnected installing the clock card in its place and connecting this bundle to it, as shown in the following diagram:
