It mimics old time Central Office Coin Control.

It was created to animate the functions of your payphone.

It was never intended to be used commercially!

___

Warning!

This device generates and stores high voltage!

Never work on the inside of a payphone plugged into it.

Never plug an unterminated chassis harness into it. 

Its output voltage is over 160VDC.

The high voltage could appear at the end of an 

unterminated chassis cable.

 You don't want to put your hands on it!

Don't let its small size or the fact that there's only

5 Volts DC powering it fool you.

Its high voltage is not a joke.

It could be lethal!

_____

Introduction

The Puck will allow your legacy payphone to operate 

like it did when it was in service.

___

The Puck mounts on the payphone's tray.

Except for the 5V plug power supply

 the payphone is self-contained.

Two additions must be made to your payphone

for it to work with the Puck.

The first is a jumper installed on the payphone's chassis.

The second is a Dial Control Cable between the payphone's bottom and top.

These additions are easy to do and well documented.

Your ability to solder is required.

___ 

It is impervious to moisture and the dreaded

Green Goo 

that leaks out of the relays of your 31A Chassis.

___

Obviously, this Puck will only control the payphone it's mounted in.

If you own multiple prepay payphones and want to add coin control 

to all of them simultaniously you might consider my 

Payphone Controller listed in a separate auction.

For multiple payphones it's more cost effective.

____

What's in the box?

1- The Puck

2- Power Supply

3- Power Cable

4- Chassis Harness

5- Dial Cable

6- Phone Line Cable

Plus all the necessary hardware.

___

Western Electric Payphones.

In the past all legacy Western Electric Single Slot Payphones 

were controlled by the Phone Company Central Office.

Since Central Office Control no longer exists, changes must be

made to your payphone for it to work with the Puck.

These changes are:

1- Adding a control cable to the Touch Tone Dial.

2- Adding a jumper on the payphone's printed circuit board.

These changes are well documented and not difficult to do.

___

The Dial Tone First Function

WITHOUT AN INITIAL DEPOSIT.

The Puck allows the dial to function for the time necessary

to Touch Tone three digits for assistance without an initial deposit.

After that preset time, the dial is disabled.

___

WITH AN INITIAL DEPOSIT.

After the initial deposit is satisfied you can make calls

like you normally would.

____

Answer Supervision

The Puck responds to 'Dialed Number Answer Supervision'.

'Dialed Number Answer Supervision' is the polarity of your phone line's

Tip and Ring voltage reversing when your called number answers.

The module detects the change in polarity and tells the payphone

 to switch from coin return to coin collect.

___

For the Puck to work 100% you will have to have

 an ATA that responds to Supervision and a Voip account

or

An Xlink Blue Tooth Gateway paired to a Cell Phone.

___

The Puck will not work 100% on a Pots line.

All initial deposits will be returned. 

The ability of the Puck to work on a Pots phone line

was not included to keep it as cost effective as possible.

_____

Getting Started

Your payphone must be complete and capable of making 

and receiving calls like a standard desk phone. 

The assemblies in your payphone must be Western Electric

or the equivalent.

TSG/ Elcotel chassis and Mars Coin Scanners are fine.

After market Touch Tone Dials are NOT recommended.

 ____

If your payphone is a model 1C it should include;

A 70A, 70B or 70C Touch Tone dial.

A type 31A Chassis wired for Dial Tone First service.

A type 20A Coin Chute.

A type 1A Totalizer set for DTF.

____ 

If your payphone is a model 1D it should include;

A 70A, 70B or 70C Touch Tone Dial.

A type 32A, 32B, 32C or a TSG/ Elcotel 4032C Chassis.

A type 20A Coin Chute.

A 47A Coin Scanner*.

*Mars Coin Scanners also work well.

___

The Puck fits neatly on the tray of the payphone.

The Chassis Harness interfaces your payphone to the Puck.

The Dial Cable enables and disables the function of the TT dial.

Below is a Module installed in a 1D2. 

_____

 The Dial Control Cable

 A Dial Control Cable must be added between the Puck 

and the screw terminals of the dial assembly.

The Dial Control Cable allows you to Touch Tone three digits 

for assistance without an initial deposit.

After the allotted time the dial is disabled.

___

Below is an example of an installed Dial Cable.

The Blue/Red wire is original. 

It supplies voltage to the dial.

____

The Chassis

For your payphone to work with the Puck 

you will have to add a jumper to your payphone's chassis.

___

  Your payphone could have any one of five different chassis.

Pictures of the five chassis with the jumpers

installed are shown below.

___

 31A Chassis 

_____

 32A Chassis

___

 32C Chassis Version 1

___

 32C Chassis Version 2

___

 4032C Chassis

 Installation of the jumpers in each chassis is well documented.

 Obviously, an ability to solder is required.

___

Installing The Chassis Harness 

 The Chassis Harness connects the Puck to the 

 Tip, Ring and Ground screws and the ringer

of the payphone's chassis.

___

Connecting the Chassis Harness.
