Switching capacity of coin machines

Note on the switching capacity of coin machines!

A switching capacity of 16A AC1 is specified for the coin-operated machines. This is the specified nominal load with a purely resistive load.


When used on infrared cabins, horse solariums, sunbeds, fluorescent tubes, motors (AC-3), LED lamps, etc., a contactor must be used. Please clarify this with your installer or electrician in advance.

The specification 16 A AC-1 refers to ohmic consumers. These are loads that have approximately the same resistance value when cold and when hot. So the current is always the same. This is not a problem for the relay contacts. Lightbulbs, halogen lamps, LED lamps or energy-saving lamps can generate an inrush current of up to 50 times the rated current. This higher switch-on current (or the switch-off current in the case of inductive loads such as ballasts or motors) leads to an arc between the contacts and this can weld the contacts. The coin-operated machine is then defective!

With washing machines and dryers with an electric door opener, one has the problem that the door cannot be opened after the time has elapsed. You would have to throw extra money to put power back on the device. With the "TE" option you have a button on the coin machine. After pressing this button, electricity for opening the door is made available for a period of e.g. approx. 10 seconds.

If the coin devices for the showers are installed directly in the wet cells, safety extra-low voltage is often required. This means that the coin devices do not work with the normal mains voltage of 230 volts, but with 12 volts or 24 volts of low voltage. Then the solenoid valves must be designed for the same voltage. A transformer that provides you with the extra-low voltage is then required for operation. We would be happy to make you a complete offer. Please ask.
