SpeedChecker Sign – Eco Friendly Speed Checker with Solar Energy Panel

August 18, 2010 No comments

Recently a new product called the Speedchecker has been designed, the device is capable of accurately reading the speed of on coming and receding traffic and the displaying, in one of three modes, either the speed limit, the speed of the vehicle or the excess speed the vehicle is doing.

It can be used on private property and by local councils to help reduce speeds in a new way, with out the difficultly of getting a speed camera. It is a small unit and so can be located almost anywhere and as it is either battery or solar panel operated does not required a complicated electrical setup or power lines run to street.

The main projected use is on private roads either on university campuses, schools or business parks, it provides a safe legal method of warning drivers about their current speed or as a very obvious reminder about the speed limit, which is easy to overlook if someone is new to the site. it can just as easily be used on major roads into towns and villages to notify people to slow down.

Speed Checker

The on board battery will last three days, extreme usage may cause this to differ, on one charge and if you decided to go for the eco-friendly solar panel version the Speedchecker should run indefinitely with no additional energy costs. The Speedchecker will also log the usage of the road so you can measure the usage and the amount of speeding that goes on a simple USB connection on the rear allows access. The super bright LEDs are visible in all weather and are extremely reliable.

Shower Timer Coin Boxes – Coin Operated Campsite Access Control

August 18, 2010 3 comments

One of our more up and coming products is the Shower Timer Coin Box, it is a small box designed to add a charge to sower function.

It allows campsite owners to leave showers unattended while preventing abuse of systems with people showering for an unreasonable amount of time or leaving the showers on, all versions turn off automatically after a certain amount of time and are completely safe with an all-weather coating.

The Shower Timer box works in the same way as a standard SP100 (now available in Antique Silver) to work an electric power shower, in fact any Power Shower up to 30Amps may be used. The installation is as simple as the boxes workings, wire live, neutral and earth into the coin operated box and then live, neutral and ground out to the Shower unit, the customer puts money in the box which powers the shower for an adjustable amount of time. Certain models of power shower can run off a low voltage model meaning the coin box can be inside a wet area, usually the Coin box needs to be out side in a dry area.

Coin Operated Shower Timer Box

If you want to have a coin operated traditional shower then the coin box can operate a solenoid valve (similar to a two way central heating valve), this can easily be operated on a low voltage meaning the coin box can be put in the wet area. When coins are put in the Shower Timer hot water is allowed to flow and the customer can shower.

New Box Colours – SP100 and ESP007 – Laundry Control Coin Box

August 17, 2010 No comments

We have added a new box colour to our range, all products which come in a small box (SP100 and ESP007 series) can now be ordered in Antique Silver.

Although the Stone look fits the usual environment of a laundrette we realized a lot of our products were beings used in other circumstances where Stone would not have blended in well, which is why we have expanded the range to include Antique Silver.

The New Antique Silver Coin Boxs

The antique silver gives an alternate choice compared to the classic Stone colour. The two boxes are identically styled so they both have the same high specifications, long lasting weather resistant coatings and both boxes come with a choice of an added security bar shown above.

Stone Coin Box

Our expanding range of coin box colours means that now the ESP007 machine will not look out of place in any room

Removal of IC chips – Coin Mechanism – How SP100 Meter Works

August 17, 2010 No comments
Occasionally boards can not be reprogrammed on site to the customers needs, in these instances it is often necessary to reprogram and replace a component known as the IC chip, this can be a little bit complicated so we here are some instructions,specifically for the SP100 Coin Meter but still fairly general, on IC removal.

These instructions only contain simple, other methods exist however they require specialist tools which is avaible  should be used.

Using a flat-headed screwdriver gently ease up one end of the chip by a small amount, to do this slide the screw driver in by a small amount the rock it from side to side.

Gently repeat on the opposite end of the IC chip with out raising the end of the IC chip too much as this will push the first end back in.

Grasp the chip at both ends and pull firmly upward, if the chip does not come out easily repeat the earlier steps and try again. Be sure to pull the chip straight up with only gentle rocking to ease it out, the pins bend easily and are delicate.

When replacing the chip firstly make sure it is the correct way around, both the chip and the socket have semi circle cuts out which need to be aligned. Then place the chip onto it’s socket and firmly push down. If the pins are not aligned with the socket and are two wide then place the chip side-on a flat surface and then slowly “roll” the chip to bend half the pins at once.

All chips have a semi circular cut out to denote the top, visible in the above picture on the left, this lines up with the semi-circle cut out on the socket and the makings on the board.

Showing the orientation of the IC socket on the SP100, the semi-circle cut out is visible on the left again.

These instructions and others are avaible in .pdf and paper form, please contact us if you would like a copy.

Reprogramming a Coin Mechanism – How Token Operated Equipments Work

August 17, 2010 No comments

• Read the bold text first to familiarise your self with the device.

• All steps require the device be powered.

• To programme tokens 10 examples of each coin is needed.

A view of the MicrocoinSP with the Main light (M), Channnel lights (1, 2, 3), the button and the channel values are marked.

Channel lights (left)

This light show which channel is active by combinations of their value, for example channel 5 is lights 2 and 3.

Channel values (right)

This box displays the original settings for the mechanism and may change between individual devices. It also shows the value assigned to each channel.

1. Disabling old coins

• To start the reprogramming, firstly disable all not used coins/tokens, this is done by pressing the buttons twice which turns the main light red and feeding in the unwanted coin, returning the light to solid green. Repeat for each unwanted coin or token (for UK coins £2, £1, 50p, 20p 10p and 1p).

2. Re-enabling coins

• Press the button once and the main light will flash green, put the coin you want to work again through and the light will change to solid green.

3. Programming for tokens

• Press the button 5 times in quick succession, the main light should now be flashing amber.

—-If you are programming multiple coins/tokens you will need to set the channel, do this by pressing the button, each token needs a new different channel (combination of channel lights).—-

• Insert all ten coins and the light should turn to flashing green.

• Press the button to select the channel of the value you want the token to be.

• For example on the above coin mechanism for a token equal to £1 press the button until 5 (2 and 3 are lit) is displayed.

• Place a coin of the value equal to the token through and then press the button again.

Testing

• Place one token through to test and verify.

These instructions and others are available in .pdf and paper form, please contact us if you would like a copy.
