HRV Timer Settings

    Vernon Manufacturing

       Automatic Water Salesman

Our Automatic Water Salesman will accept 250 inputs ($62.50).  This can be 25¢ coins or bills up to $20.


The HRV timer contains 2 sets of switches in one unit of 10 switches.  To move the correct switches to the ON or OFF position, use a pointed object such as a retracted ballpoint pen.  DO NOT USE A PENCIL.  The switches turn “ON” to the right.  Remember:  1 quarter = 1 input.  $1.00 = 4 inputs.  $20.00 = 80 inputs.


TIMER SETTINGS:  AMOUNT TO BE SOLD


The top 7 switches (Time per Coin) determine the length of time the water will run for EACH COIN inserted.  One second is minimum adjustment and accuracy.  Determine the length of time you want the valve to be open.  Turn ON the switches that equal that amount of time.  All other switches OFF.  


At 50 psi, a 2” water line will flow approximately 2 gallons per second.  This will vary with valve size, length of run, friction loss, etc.  All examples are based on these parameters.  Remember, smaller valves and/or lower pressure require more time.  Larger valves and/or higher pressure require less time.    


          Example 1:  Water rate of $1.00 per 1000 gallons.  1000 ÷ 4 quarters = 250 gallons for 25¢.  Start  

                             with switches 64; 32; 16; 8; 4; 2 ON (126 seconds).  All other switches OFF.


          Example 2:  Water rate of $5.00 per 1000 gallons.  1000 ÷ 20 quarters = 50 gallons for 25¢.  Start

                             with switches 16; 8; 2 ON (26 seconds).  All other switches OFF.  


          Example 3:  Water rate of $10.00 per 1000 gallons.  1000 ÷ 40 quarters = 25 gallons for 25¢.  Start

                             with switches 8; 4; and 1 ON (13 seconds).  All other switches OFF.  


TIMER SETTINGS:  MINIMUM SALE


The bottom 3 switches (Coins to Start) determine how many (inputs) must be counted before the machine starts.  Normally this is 1.  If a minimum sale is desired, up to 7 inputs ($1.75) can be programmed.  Adding the switches together determines the amount.  At least one switch MUST be turned on.

     

          Example 1: 50¢ minimum.  Turn ON switch 2 (2 coins).  1 and 4 - OFF.  


          Example 2:  75¢ minimum.  Turn ON switches 1 and 2 (3 coins).  Switch 4 - OFF.

     

These settings can be readjusted at any time as your water rates go up or you wish to change the minimum sale.  Over the years, we have found the average cost of water to be anywhere from $3.00 to $15.00 per 1000 gallons.  Your city's water pressure and selling rates will determine the amount of time needed.  Please call if you need help.
