dixmor led6 and ginsan sensortron

[jlouis23603]

Hi guys,

Looking for some advice. I purchased a led6 timer for my bay. I have a ginsan sensortron 57475 gs-41 coin acceptor. My issue is it does not recognize coin input. I have it wired the following way:

The sensortron has a yellow, blue and gray(possibly black but faded) wire harness

Gray is wired to orange (hot) on timer harness
yellow it wired to ground on harness
blue is wired to orange/black on harness(I think between now and the drive home I cant quite remember.

I saw another post in regards to the LED7 and having to reverse the order of the wiring. Is the same for the led6? If it makes any difference I am replacing a timemaster tm5j that finally bit the dust. I have power to the timer just not registering coins so I have a feeling it has to do with the current wiring.....please dont tell me I need a new coin acceptor

Thanks!

You need a new coin acceptor. That unit is around 30 years old. It's been that long since we used that wiring color code. The black is hot, the yellow is common, and the blue is the coin output. It's most likely dead.

Thank you Dan for the insight. Do you mind if I ask why it would work with the old timemaster and not the led6? I took a working timemaster and it worked just fine. Just realized I forgot to post that in the original post

When something is that old I never even ask the "Why?", I just replace it and move on. 30 year old electronics and wiring become very brittle and fail when you try to mess with them.

I agree with you. I was trying to avoid spending more money due to an unexpected expense with the carwash. I guess the got to spend money to make money comes into play. Thank you for your guidance
