COIN-OPERATED TIMER FOR WASHING MACHINE AND DRYER – TANDEM MODEL (UP TO 3500W EACH)
(Compatible with all domestic machines, new and old, up to 3500W each)
General Description
The TANDEM coin-operated timer is the most reliable solution for managing washing machines and dryers in B&Bs, holiday homes, residences, shared laundry rooms, and rental properties. It transforms the laundry area into a controlled and pay-per-use service: users purchase operating time with coins while you maintain full control over machine usage, energy consumption, and wear.
Example: with €4, the user can activate 2 hours of washing or drying. Both price and time settings are fully programmable and can be adjusted at any time.
Tandem System – Independent Dual Control
The TANDEM version includes two independent electronic coin timers, ideal for controlling separately:
– one washing machine (e.g., 2400W)

Both machines can run simultaneously and completely independently.
