The red box generates three sets of tones to simulate currency. ALL redbox
|
|
tones are a combination (DTMF) of 1700 + 2200. A nickel is a 60 ms tone. A
|
|
dime is 2 60 ms tones, separated by a 60 ms pause. Finally, the quarter is a
|
|
COMBINATION of 5 35 ms tones, each one separated by a 35 ms pause.
|
|
|
|
Each time the pushbutton is pressed, it triggers half of IC1,
|
|
configured as a monostable multivibrator to energize the rest of the circuit
|
|
for a length of time determined by the setting of the coin selector switch.
|
|
This in turn starts the other half of IC1, configured as an astable
|
|
multivibrator, pulsing on and off at regular intervals at a rate determined
|
|
by the 50k pot between pins 12 and 13. The output of the astable thus
|
|
alternately powers of IC2, configured as a square wave oscillator, providing
|
|
the required 1700hz and 2200hz to the op amp which acts as a buffer to drive
|
|
the speaker.
|
|
|
|
For alignment, a frequency counter and triggered sweep oscilloscope are
|
|
extremely handy (but not absolutely necessary.)
|
|
|
|
Install a temporary jumper from +9v supply to pin 14 of IC2 and
|
|
temporarily disconnect the 0.01uF capacitors from pins 5 and 9 of IC2. Power
|
|
up the circuit. Measuring the output from pin 5 of IC2 with the frequency
|
|
counter, adjust the 20k pot between pins 1 and 6 for an output of 1700hz.
|
|
Now adjust the 20k pot between pins 8 and 13 for an output of 2200hz from pin
|
|
9 of IC2. Remove the temporary jumper and re-attach the capacitors to pins 5
|
|
and 9. (Note: if no frequency counter is available, the outputs can be
|
|
adjusted by ear one at a time by zero-beating the output tone with a computer
|
|
generated tone of known precision.)
|
|
|
|
Next, temporarily disconnect the wire between pins 5 and 10 of IC1. Set
|
|
coin selector switch in the "N" (nickel) position. With the oscilloscope
|
|
measuring the output from pin 9 of IC1, adjust the 50k pot between pins 12
|
|
and 13 of IC1 for output pulses of 60 millisecond duration. Reconnect the
|
|
wire between pins 5 and 10. (Note: If no scope is available, adjust the
|
|
pulse rate by ear using computer generated tones for comparison.)
|
|
|
|
The remaining adjustments are made by ear.
|
|
|
|
Leave the selector switch in the "N" position. Adjust the 50k pot
|
|
labelled "Dime" for a quick double beep each time the pushbutton is pressed.
|
|
|
|
Finally, set the selector to "Quarter". Adjust the 50k pot labelled
|
|
"Quarter" until exactly 5 very quick beeps are heard for each button press.
|
|
Don't worry if the quarter beeps sound shorter and faster than the nickel and
|
|
dime ones. They should be.
|
|
|
|
If all went well to this point, your red box should be completely aligned
|
|
and functional. A final test should now be conducted from a payphone using
|
|
the DATL (dial access test line) coin test. Dial 09591230 and follow the
|
|
computer instructions using the red box at the proper prompts. The computer
|
|
should correctly identify all coins "simulated" and flag any anomalies. With
|
|
a little discretion, your red box should bring you many years of use.
|
|
Remember, there's no such thing as spare change.!
