claudiagg · 11-29-2007, 05:47 PM

Hi, i bought a tanning bed 1 month ago and the girl that sold it to me told be that i need a timer to make it works. nothing special just a basic kitchen timer to connect it to the bed
so i went to walmart to buy a timer, but when i open the timer and look inside, there was nothing to connect wires on..
so my question is what king of timer do i have to buy to make it works, the wires are kind of speakers wires..

thx alot

If the 2 wires are only contactor coil voltage, that first 30 min timer should work.

sounds to me like you need a tech to go over the unit, where are you located? or go to tanningbedrepair.com

It looks like a Merrittan or Body Bronze stand. Is that what it is? Anyway, get a service guy.

touch these wires together and see if the bed comes on when you plug it in?

they should be coil voltage for the relay
that old unit has no digital timer circuitry

where are you located
and is that an old ultrasun?
