Document Title: WashPay Card Terminal Retrofit Installation Instructions
2.1 Connecting to a Dixmor Timer
1. Remove power from the card terminal by moving the Power Switch to the right position.
2. Remove power from the meter box. This may require throwing the breaker in the equipment
room.
3. Set the JP1 Jumper to the 1-2 position.
4. Set the JP2 Jumper to the 2-3 position.
5. Locate the Brown wire on the Dixmor Timer cable harness.
6. Trace the wire in order to find the coin acceptor output wire. The colors of the wire on the coin
acceptor harness will vary depending on the manufacturer and model being used.
7. Run a wire from the coin acceptor output to the Coin Input 1 on the Power Distributin Board
in the card terminal. Coin Input 1 is pin 2 on the 6-Pin Terminal Strip.
8. Pull a CAT5E cable from the patch panel in the office/equipment room to the Card Terminal,
using a ¾” to 1” metal conduit. The CAT5 cable should not exceed 300 feet in length.
9. Assemble the Tool-less RJ-45 connector onto the end of the CAT5 cable. Make sure to use
the “B” pin-out configuration and that it matches the pin-out configuration of the other end of
the CAT5 cable that is plugged into the patch panel.
10. Plug the existing RJ-45 plug inside the Card Terminal into the Tool-less RJ-45 connector.
11. Apply power to the Card Terminal and meter box and test.
2.2 Connecting to an IDX Timer
Background:
Typically an IDX timer will have a coin input circuit that is referenced to +5VDC. This can be confirmed by
connecting a multi-meter between the coin input wire and ground. You should measure somewhere
around 5VDC. When a coin is deposited in the coin acceptor, the coin input of the IDX timer will be pulled
down to ground (0 VDC) for a short period of time. The coin acceptor will then release the coin input and
it will return to 5VDC.
In order to connect the card terminal in parallel with the IDX timer, we must set it up so its coin input
is also referenced to 5VDC. JP1 and JP2, inside the card terminal, are used to set the reference
voltage to one of four voltages. To set the reference voltage to 5VDC, move jumpers JP1 and JP2
to the 1-2 position.
After setting the reference voltage to 5VDC, you only need to connect the coin input from the IDX
timer to the Coin Pulse In shown in the above drawing.
Procedure:
1. Remove power from the card terminal by moving the Power Switch to the right position.
2. Remove power from the meter box. This may require throwing the breaker in the equipment
room.
3. Set the JP1 Jumper to the 1-2 position.
4. Set the JP2 Jumper to the 2-3 position.
