- 2 - 1. Features The Tempus III controls the external devices that it governs through the activation and deactivation of relays that will function depending on the configuration and programming of the device. They may respond to both a series of internal signals (credit, clock periods...) as well as external signals (consumption, activation, inputs...), and therefore its applications are...
TEMPUS III - 3 - 2. Using the Tempus III There are many and various applications for the Tempus III timers. Some of the most common uses are listed below: Tempus III for controlling televisions. Controlling the lighting for courts at sports facilities.

50 Milliamperes by the primary 4.2 Maximum operating inclination Once the Tempus III has been positioned and installed in its working position, the maximum inclination on any of its axes must not exceed +/- 3%. If this inclination is exceeded, the system may have operating anomalies such as the failure to admit coins.
4.4 Coins with which the Tempus III can operate It can work with the legal tender coins of any country, subject to prior factory programming. Up to a total of 15 different kinds of coins can be validated.
As it was previously mentioned, the device requires a power supply of 220 volts and 50 Hz. In order to connect the Tempus III, prepare a cable bundle by starting with a 3-wire line (not included), the dimensions of which will depend on the needs of each user.

Page 17
TEMPUS III - 13 - PLATE AND ROCKER ARMS The mission of the inlet plate and rocker arm is to cushion the free fall of the coin, thereby braking its entry. A coin is thus prevented from moving irregularly through and bouncing into the selector, thereby providing uniform movement and rotation over the plastic brace located next to the plate.
Page 18
MEDIOS DE PAGO Technical Manual - 14 - ANTI-RETURN SYSTEM The function of the anti-return system is to prevent a coin from receding back from the interior of the selector once it has been admitted. This system makes it impossible to commit any fraud by using a wire connected to a coin.
