IDX AT411 Bay Times help needed

[Reed5003]

I have a bay that is not working and have a question about the timer, It is a IDX 110/24 volt timer, I am using it with 24 volt transformer. The wiring configuration is 24 volt from transformer coming in on #2 (hot) & #3 (common), jumper wire from #2 to #5 (output power). #6 is output load, is it correct that this only sends power to the rotary switch when the timer is on. I am getting a 24 volt reading on the timer when the timer is off, test leads are on #3 & #6, I thought #6 output load should only send 24 volts out when the timer is running, am I missing something, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you checking power to ground or power to common? It's not unusual to read some voltage to ground, but you should show zero or close to it from terminal 3 and terminal 6.

Does the red light on the timer light up when proper coins are deposited?

I am going #3 common to #6, I am getting a strong 24-27 volts when the timer is off or running, red light comes on when coins are deposited.

If you bridge between #5 and 6 does the bay run?

just purchased a brand new timer, hooked my 24 volt transformer to #2 & #3, jumper from #2-#5. I still get a reading on my meter of 27 volts on #3 to #5 & #3 to #6 with the timer not running. I thought #6 load is only suppose to have voltage when the timer is running. Someone please help, thank you.

Texas is pretty big. I'm in the Austin area. I was going to offer to take a look at it.

Too far for me to just stop by. Can you take and post some pictures of your equipment and the wiring? There might be a phasing issue that's causing you to read voltage where you shouldn't. It's not hard to diagnose and correct, and I can talk you through it. You also might try and swap the bad timer with another bay.
