2 Wyvern Timer 2000R Operating Instructions

The Wyvern 2000R Timer offers an extensive range of features to suit virtually all coin/card
timer applications. Advanced electronic control provides programmable options allowing up to
six different coins to be recognised, peak and off-peak timing cycles, smart card operation,
together with profit sharing facilities. Both switched outputs are voltage free; this means the
Wyvern 2000R can be used to switch a load operating from any voltage, not just mains
operated equipment. A full description of voltage free and load switching appears on pages 6
and 7.

Figure 1 shows the main operational features and this manual provides all information for
correct installation and programming.

Timer Operation

The Wyvern 2000R may be programmed to operate in one of four modes as described below.
The explanations all use UK coinage as examples but the principles apply for all currencies.

1. Fixed time

For fixed time operation the session cost or session time options are not programmed, so
the Wyvern 2000R operates using the times allocated to the coins (options 31 to 42, page

16). The timer turns ON as soon as the first coin is inserted and the time incremented with each
additional coin.

2. Session time

With session time sufficient coins must be inserted to meet a specified amount of time before
the timer turns ON. To activate session time options 08 to 09 are programmed (page 15), but
not session cost (options 04 to 05, page 20). The timer will only activate when coins equalling
the session time have been inserted. For example if the Wyvern 2000R were programmed with
a session time of 19 minutes the timer would only start when coins equal to 19 minutes are
inserted. The timer will flash the character ‘A’, and display the total time as each coin is added.
Upon insertion of the final coin, the display will show 19:00 and the timer will turn ON and start
counting down

3. Session cost

With session cost sufficient coins must be inserted to meet a specified price before the timer
turns ON. To activate session cost options 04 to 05 are programmed (page 20), but not session
time (options 08 to 09, page 15). The timer will only activate when coins equalling the session
cost have been inserted. For example if the Wyvern 2000R were programmed with a session
cost of £3.80, the timer would only start when coins to the value of £3.80 are inserted. The timer
will flash the character ‘A’, and display the total amount of money added. When the displayed
value reaches 380, meeting the £3.80 session cost, the timer will turn ON, and start counting
down.

4. Combined session cost and session time

With combined session cost and session time sufficient coins must be inserted to meet a
specified price before the timer turns ON for a specified time, even if this time is different from
the time allocated to the coins making up the session cost. To activate combined session cost
and time, options 04 to 05 (page 20) and options 08 to 09 (page 15), are programmed. The
addition of further coins is influenced by program code 30 (page 26). Once the initial cost is met,
if program code 30 is not set, further coins will add the time allocated for that coin (codes 31 to
42, page 16). If program code 30 is set to proportional session (3004) further coins to meet the
session cost must be inserted. For example If the Wyvern 2000R were programmed with a
session time of 5 minutes and a session cost of £3.80, the timer would turn ON after £3.80 has
been inserted and would run for 5 minutes. With program code 30 set to proportional session
coins totalling £3.80 must be inserted for an additional 5 minutes. However if program code 30

Wyvern Timer 2000R Operating Instructions

is not set further coins inserted ignore the combination and the timer is incremented by the time
allocated to that coin.

Note: Lockout time must not be set to a value less than the session time for modes 2, 3 or 4

Using the previous examples the table below shows the status of the display and state of the
timer outputs as coins are inserted from coin 1 through to coin 6. The table assumes that coin 2
is inserted after coin 1 and so on.

Values and times are for peak sessions only.

Mechanical Installation

The Wyvern 2000R Timer should be mounted on a smooth vertical wall away from corners, so
its front door can be opened fully to allow easy access to the coin box and internal components.
The timer is 275mm high by 204mm wide and has a depth of 90mm, so allow at least 210mm
clearance from any corner wall. Take care to mount the case level in both the vertical and
horizontal axes, failure to do so may prevent the coin mechanism from operating correctly.

Choose an area where an ambient temperature of 40°C is not exceeded, away from any
source of moisture, dust or direct heat.

Note. If during the installation it is necessary to remove the ribbon cable connecting the two
circuit boards, you must re-program the real time clock once the boards are re-connected.

Power consumption of the timer is approximately 10W (at 230V AC). Loads of up to 1kVA (3A
resistive) can be switched directly by the timer. This is typically five 100W incandescent or two
100W fluorescent lamps. Adding the 7kVA option increases the capacity up to a maximum of
7kVA (30A resistive), which is typically one 7kW shower or 12 fluorescent lamps.

When used as a voltage free switch, the timer can be used with external switching contactors to
control high current loads. See pages 6 and 7 in the Electrical Installation section for a
description of voltage free switching.

4 Wyvern Timer 2000R Operating Instructions

1. Lay the timer on its back and open the
case using the key supplied. Remove the
cash box and using a small flat bladed
screwdriver remove the 3mm screw (M3 x 6)
holding the safety cover in place,
as shown in Figure 2. Once the screw has
been removed the cover may be lifted and
unhooked from the main case to fully expose
the back of the case and the main circuit
board.

Figure 2 – Removing Circuit Board Cover

2. The timer has three fixing holes arranged in a triangular formation, pre-drilled in its back
cover. Position the case on the wall and mark the position of the uppermost single fixing
hole (the one in-line with the cable knockouts). Remove the timer and plug the wall and fit
with No. 8 or 10 screws of not less than 22mm. Hang the timer case on this screw and
tighten, use a spirit level to check the case is level both vertically and horizontally. Mark the
bottom two screw positions, remove case and plug the wall.

3. Remove the required cable knockouts, and fix to the wall.

If the case is not level the coin mechanism may not work.

Electrical Installation

The timer will require a fused double pole switch for the mains input. Wire the unit as shown
in Figure 7 using appropriately rated and approved cable conforming to the relevant regional
standards. Minimum wire sizes for European usage are given on page 8.

With the configuration of Figure 7 the total load current (the combination of main output and
secondary output) is 3.15A, limited by the size of the main circuit board’s track width. If required
to switch a total load current greater than 3.15A, the circuit board track limitations can be
overcome by externally wiring the relays to switch 3.15A each, giving a total switching
capacity of 6.3A. See Figure 8 for the circuit arrangement.

Note: each relay is fuse protected and cannot switch more than 3.15A. If replacing a blown fuse
ensure the replacement is a type T HBC with 250V breaking capacity.

It is essential that the safety earth is connected to a known good earth at the same bonding
point as the main earth for the load being switched by the Wyvern 2000R. Poor earthing or bad
routing of connecting cables could create electrical noise leading to erratic operation of the
Wyvern 2000R. See following page for good wiring practice.

Good Wiring Practice to Reduce Susceptibility to Electrical Noise

The Wyvern 2000R has been designed to reduce the amount of electrical noise seen by the
control circuits, however bad grounding or inappropriate wiring techniques can create noise
problems that overwhelm the control system. A symptom of electrical noise is randomness, both
in the occurrence of the problem and in what the Wyvern 2000R does in its failure.

The built in noise protection of the Wyvern 2000R is dependent on a good ground connection
which usually short-circuits any electrical noise to earth. Without a good, correctly installed
ground connection the noise protection is essentially defeated.

Bad Grounding Technique

Wyvern
2000R

At installation the best
approach is to establish a
central grounding point for the
load and the Wyvern 2000R.
The illustration opposite shows
bad grounding technique. By
connecting the grounds
together and then routed
through a single wire to the
grounding point, any noise
generated by the load is
superimposed on the ground
of the Wyvern 2000R.

Proper grounding technique
dictates using separate
ground wires from the timer
and the load to a central
grounding point as shown
opposite

Ground
point

Very little noise voltage is
present because of low
impedance to ground at the
connection point

The separate wire for the Wyvern 2000R
protects it from sharing the noisy ground
wire from the load.

Wyvern
2000R

Good Grounding Technique

The separation of power cables is another practice that helps increase noise immunity in
the installed system. If any of the input or output wires connecting the Wyvern 2000R to the
load are bundled closely together with the power wiring of the load then noise currents can
be transformer coupled to the Wyvern 2000R. Always keep wiring from the timer away from
motors, solenoids, inductors and similar devices; if necessary use shielded cable with only
one end of the shield connected to ground.

Following good wiring practices as detailed above will enhance the noise protection already
built into the Wyvern 2000R.

Voltage Free Contacts

The timer controls the operation of
external equipment by a relay, which
turns power ON and OFF. As
supplied, the timer’s relay contacts are
said to be ‘voltage free’, which means
they have no connections made to
them, as shown in Figure 3.

To be able to use the relay contact to switch equipment ON and OFF, it needs to be wired as
shown in Figure 4. This shows a light bulb being powered from the mains, but any source of
power could be used, so long as it is wired via the timer’s main output relay contact.

Figure 3 - Voltage Free Relay Contacts

Figure 4 - Relay Contacts Wired to Control a Lamp

Wyvern Timer 2000R Operating Instructions

On the timer's main circuit board connectors
CN5 & CN6 already have a source of mains
power connected to pin1. This is supplied
via a circuit board track from the mains live
input on CN3. Therefore, the mains ‘L’ (live)
wire can be taken from pin 1 of CN5. The ‘N’
(neutral) wire can be connected to pins 1, 2
or 3 of CN3 where a direct connection to the
mains neutral input can be made. These
connections are shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 - CN3 and CN5 Final Wiring

Use of Voltage Free Contacts in the Wyvern 2000R Timer

Using voltage free contacts, the Wyvern 2000R Timer can be used to control
equipment operating from a range of voltages, not just mains powered devices. For
example, the timer could control +24V DC supplies just as easily as AC mains supplies.
Supplying the timer with voltage free contacts does involve a slight overhead in installation
wiring, but gains a greater versatility in the ways it may be used.

The relay contacts are
voltage free - they have
not been pre-wired to
supply a particular
voltage when the
contacts are closed.
This means you can use
the contacts to turn-ON a
supply of your choice.

For example, Figure 6
shows how a 24V DC
supply can be controlled
via the main output. This
can switch up to 3.15A,
which is adequate for
most external contactors.

Figure 6 – Voltage Free Contacts & External Buzzer Wiring

Wiring Connections

Cable and fuse size:

With 24V, VF (volt-free)
and 1kVA loads use cable
of cross-sectional area not
less than 1.0sq. mm

(1mm2) and externally fuse
at 5A.
With 7kVA rated models
use cable of not less than

6.0sq. mm (6mm2) and
externally fuse as
appropriate up to a
maximum of 30A.
The use of 20mm conduit is
recommended (use male
thread adaptor with lock­ring, for example Ega type
EMA 1ZM). Alternatively fit
a 20mm nylon compression
cable gland to provide
strain relief.

The high current
connections shown in
Figure 8 are required only if
the total current of both
outputs exceeds 3.15A.
Refer to page 3 of the
electrical installation section
for further details.

WARNING

THE TIMER CASE MUST BE SECURELY CONNECTED TO A KNOWN EARTH

Refer to page 5

Wyvern Timer 2000R Operating Instructions

Optional 7kVA Output

Timers fitted with the
optional 7kVA output
have the main output
relay mounted off-board.
This is wired as shown in
Figure 9.

The 7kVA circuit can be
used to switch currents
of up to 30A (resistive
load), and will require a
suitable fuse to be fitted
on the mains input side
to protect whatever load
is connected.

Figure 9 – 7kVA Option Wiring

External Buzzer Connections

You can wire an external buzzer, or relay, to the timer using connector CN7. Use a 12V
piezo-electric buzzer or a relay with 12V dc coil with the positive (+) side wired to the left-hand­side (pin 1) of connector CN7. The buzzer or relay is driven from an open collector transistor
mounted on the main circuit board and is wired as shown in Figure 6. In both cases maximum
current consumption must not exceed 100mA.

External Input Connections

Where the timer is to be controlled remotely, using externally connected push-button
switches; the connections available on CN2 can be used. These inputs are optically isolated
and require a low current +12V DC supply to operate correctly. Where the external buttons are
only mounted a few metres away from the timer, they can be supplied directly from the timer
itself. But if mounted tens of metres away, they will require an externally generated +12V DC
supply to operate reliably. The two possible circuit arrangements are shown in Figure 10,
which also illustrates the wiring of the HOLD switch, used when it is required to turn the timing
function on and off remotely.

When controlled from a remote location, pressing the start push-button will start the timer
regardless of any pretime/start delay that may have been set. Pressing the stop push-button
will immediately stop the timer. The secondary output may or may not turn off when the external
stop push-button is pressed depending on the setting of special option program code 01 (see
page 18). If a single ON/OFF HOLD switch is used in place of the start push-button and
program code 28 ‘set remote hold’ is selected (see page 24), the timer can be turned ON or
OFF from a remote location. With the switch ON the timer behaves normally, but stops timing
when the switch is turned OFF, only to restart when the switch is turned ON again.

 All external inputs will only be recognised if program code 23 is set ON (see page 24).

Figure 10 - External Inputs For Local and Remote Wiring

Programming The Wyvern 2000R

To control the operation of the timer, for example to let it know when to charge at peak rate,
or how much time to allow for each coin inserted, it needs to be programmed. This consists
of entering two digit numbers or options into various empty memory locations, identified by
program code numbers (00 to 63). You step forwards or backwards through the program
code number to where you wish to make a change, alter the settings, and then return the timer
to normal operation. If you don’t wish to use all the timer’s facilities those code numbers can be
ignored and left blank.

For example, if you wished to set the timer to wait 2 minutes before switching ON whatever
was being controlled (start delay time), you would select the general programming mode,
choose program code 00 and alter the two digit contents to 02. This will program the pre­time as 2 minutes. The display is as shown in Figure 11. For a complete programming
example see page 13.

Figure 11 – Programming Start Delay Time

Wyvern Timer 2000R Operating Instructions

Selecting programming modes

Before changing the two digit values held in each program code number setting, it is necessary
to place the timer into programming mode. Place the programming template (shown in Figure

12), over the timer front panel logo (covering the name Wyvern 2000). The template shows the
positions of three hidden programming buttons. Note: these buttons cannot be used until the
programming switch is turned ON.

Together with the front panel four digit
display, these three buttons allow program
code numbers to be selected to customise
the timer.

Three menus are possible:

1. Setup programming. Selected using the
DOWN button.

2. Special options. Selected using the PROG
button. See page 27

3. Interrogation mode, total coin count or
hours used. Selected using the UP button.

Note: If the wrong button is pressed, return
the programming switch to its normal
position, wait for ‘Stor’ to be displayed then

Figure 12 – Programming Template

return to the programming mode once more.

The programming switch is mounted on a
circuit board held inside the front opening part
of the timer case. Open the timer case door to
its full extent and look to the right hand side of
the coin mechanism (attached to the back of
the door), where a circuit board as shown in
Figure 13 will be visible. The programming
switch is marked LKSW1, this needs to be slid
gently upwards to put the timer into its
programming mode.

LKSW1 must be left in the programming mode
position until all programming has been
completed, when it can be slid down into its
normal operating position. Returning LKSW1
to its normal down position will automatically
store all the programming information
previously entered.

Figure 13– Position of LKSW1

12 Wyvern Timer 2000R Operating Instructions

To alter program settings follow the procedure described below:

Note: The UP and DOWN keys do not zoom (automatically increment when held down) and
once at ‘9’ the display remains at ‘9’ until altered.

1. Apply power to the timer and the Wyvern 2000R should power up, finally displaying the time
(in 24-hour format) on its 4-digit display. Using the key supplied open the front cover and set
the programming switch to the ON position. Keep the switch in this position until all
programming is complete, and then return it to the normal OFF position (at step 9).

2. Close the front cover and lock in place.

3. With the programming template in position, a choice of programming mode can be made
using the UP, DOWN or PROG buttons. Note: pressing the DOWN button will give you access
to all the general programming options, while selection of the UP button gives access to the
interrogation options. Pressing the PROG button gives access to special options menu and is
described on page 27.

Pressing DOWN will flash the message ‘Prog’ on the display and will select program code
00, which is the first general programming memory location. General program locations 00
to 63 on the coin reject timer can be programmed in this mode.

Pressing UP will flash the message ‘Tot’ on the display and will select program code 00,
which is the first total money memory location. Interrogation locations 00 to 05 can be
selected in this mode (see page 28).

4. To start programming, choose the program mode by pressing the DOWN key.

At this point the first two digits of the display are indicating the program code (00) and the
second two digits are indicating the value stored at this location.

5. To change the contents of program locations, choose the program code you wish to alter
by pressing the UP or DOWN keys. This will increment or decrement the first two digits of
the display until you reach the required number.

6. At the chosen program code setting, press the PROG key, and the third digit (first digit of the
stored value) will start to flash. Using the UP and DOWN keys select the required number and
press the PROG button to accept it.

7. The last display digit will start to flash, indicating it is now ready for programming to the
required number in a similar way to the first. Press PROG button to complete the selection.

8. To program further options repeat from step 5 onwards.

9. Once programming is complete, open the timer case (with power still applied) and return
the programming switch to its normal ‘run’ mode (slide the switch DOWN). The display will
briefly indicate the word ‘Stor’ (for store the settings) and will once more return to its clock
display mode, ready for timing operations.
