Timer wiring

[Daveee123]

Hello folks , I'm trying to wire my new paraplate timer to my sensortron coin accepter and don't see where to put the little black and the yellow wire. I will try to get a picture on here. I have a air/vac . Each side has its own timer and coin acceptor. I had put a new KR 403 timer but it stopped accepting coins. I put the sensortron coin acceptor on the other side and it worked so I figured its the timer. I'm tired to buying new stuff and it not working. I have had issues with my sensortron brand new coin acceptors rejecting a lot of coins in bays also. So I bought what looks like a nice timer the blue paraplate timer but maybe I cant use it I don't know. The directions say to put the red wires with green stripe on coin switch terminals ( interchangeable ) but I don't know where to put black and yellow wires. I'm hooking it up on a table and gonna try make coin acc take a coin and it wont but I'm not sure if my sensortron coin acc are good even tho they are like brand new.

Timer

I found this old timer and it works with tester and I timed it and it all seems to work . Can I use this one , I have a real limited amount of space , I had an old air vac with a mechanical coin accepter and I thought I was doing a good thing totally changing the inside parts with coin return and all. Now I'm not so sure. I read some past threads about timers and adding a 24 volt transformer to make my new paraplate timer work but I don't have the room in this jumble mess I have inside my air vac.
I will add more pics later today........will this old timer work? Thx. Dave

The Black wire is 24 volt Hot and the Yellow wire is 24 volt Common. Here’s some helpful information. http://ginsan.com/techspecs/tg-283 - Sensorton with Cleaning Instructions.pdf
I’m not a big fan of the Sensortron coin acceptor. I like the Slugbuster 1 coin acceptor for single coin applications https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-1216-slugbuster-i-old-style-quarters-only.aspx

Put the transformer and the timer up under the dome of the vacuum and then run the wires down to the coin acceptor in the coin box.

I found a fix for the Sensortron coin rejection issue. I have the same problem with new ones. To fix, I bend the coin reject lever out about .010-.015. This changes the timing of the arm ever so slightly. I've tried adjusting the sensitivity screw with no affect.

Your Paraplate timer is 24 or 110 volts. This is probably the reason you are having an issue? Your coin acceptor is 24v.... input voltage should be 24v. So:
coin acceptor: yellow, black (tb1)
coin acceptor: red/green (tb2 coin switch)
horn: (tb2 5 volt accessory)
