Re: Welcome to the Timer Forum

Hi,
My salon is having complications with the T-Max manager Pro timer lately. We use Helios's most recent edition. I get an error message in Helios saying something along the sorts of "Timer is not communicating properly, please make sure the connected." This causes the times on the Helios to not update and doesnt restricts Helios from reflecting the status of the beds. Is anyone familiar with this problem and know what I can do to avoid this issue? It seems to always come at the worst time during our busiest hours, and restarting the computer so that this error goes away is a real hassle.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Chris

Re: Welcome to the Timer Forum

I have an 8 bed salon with older beds. They are 1996 sundash R32b. The timer used to be controlled by the computer for years but I bought a new computer and since then we have had to start the beds manually...which can be dangerous for us because customers can set their own minutes and so on. We have a compusun intellitan protocol interface.All the beds are wired up correctly but I just can't figure out why it's not communicating right? Is there some software or something I neeed to install on the computer to get it working? I am desperate at this point. Any help will be great thanks

Re: Welcome to the Timer Forum

Can you put the controls in the public hands....I am in Texas and thought you had to have them set up on front desk timers....

Re: Welcome to the Timer Forum

We have Tmax timers in 2 of 3 of our salons, and plan on putting them in the 4 (still under construction). We want to go wireless, but the technology is still relatively new . . . right? Any major problems? We want to go wireless in the existing salons so we don't have to rewire and tear up the salon, but if say bed one goes down, do all the others that are linked in behind it go down as well? How exactly does that work?

Re: Welcome to the Timer Forum

Well, I can tell right off the bat that I am WAY outta my league here. I bought a tanning bed that came with an Intellitan timing unit and I am have a really hard time getting it to work properly. Since when I unplug the bed and jick around with the box I can finally get it to come on, I'm fairly certain that the problem is with the operator, not the equipment. Is there anyone out there familiar with Intellitan timers? I am using the bed in my business, but it is not my primary business and usually just my friends get to tan on my used tanning bed. It's an old Wolfe bed (1993) but has new bulbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Welcome to the Timer Forum

Kevin- Do the timers all basically work the same or are they totally different? Mine is, I believe a single unit timer. It is a 20 minute timer by Intellitan. It has 4 buttons:Start/Stop - Up- Down- Reset in a white box. IT retails for over $250. Is there any way to get an operation manual for this thing? I've paid my own electrician for 3 hours so far and we get it to work, but it takes time and a bunch of button pushing and by the time we get the Zero reading for the time to be set, we have forgotten how we did it!! Help.
