IDX Timer Coin Count Problems

[bigleo48]

I have five Big Time BT802B timers in my vacs. All work fine except the coin count function which is about three times more on the optimistic side. This has started in the last few months. Anybody have any idea why?

The coin mechs may have a signal duration longer than what the timer is looking for. The duration of the signal may be adjustable if you are using electronic coin mechs.

soapy...good idea and yes the pulse duration is adjustable...but I wonder why it started all of a sudden.

Soapy,

Slowing the down the coin pulses from the coin mechs did the trick!

Thks!

what kind of acceptors do you use? I was having problems with timemaster timers where the electonic count did not match the mechanical counter solved problem by using earth ground on 24 volt ac
