Coin Operated Timer for Washing Machine or Dryer with Selector (operates one device at a time)

Electronic coin-operated timer with selector for washing machine and dryer

Ideal solution for B&Bs, residences and shared laundry areas

To ensure orderly and responsible use of your appliances, this coin-operated unit allows you to activate only one machine at a time using a mechanical selector and coin payment.

How it works

1. The customer selects the machine (washing machine or dryer) using the 2-position mechanical selector.
2. They insert the required amount into the multi-coin acceptor (e.g. €2).
3. The selected machine is activated for the preset time (e.g. €2 = 1 hour).
4. Once the time expires, the customer may select the other machine and repeat the process.

The system ensures alternated and controlled operation, preventing overloads and optimising energy consumption.
