Special Considerations for Entrance Operation 1
Entrance Operation “ON” status MUST be programmed for wash to operate. This is true even if none of the
Packages utilize it. The ON conditions of Entrance Operation 1 determines when the Package is shifted from Loader
to the Wash. If not configured, the vehicles Package will never be loaded into the wash.
Note: If Enter features utilized (Entrance Operations 1 – 3), Entrance Operation 1 must be the
first feature encountered by the vehicle.
Light Operation
Enter Slow (DRIVE FORWARD) Lamp
This lamp will turn on when a Package is entered into the Loader (POS has sent the package selection). It will
remain on until the vehicle pulls on to the treadle position. Once on the treadle position the Entrance Slow lamp
will turn off and the Entrance Stop (WAIT) lamp will turn on.
Enter Stop (WAIT) Lamp
This lamp will turn on if the wash cycle is in progress, if the vehicle just finished wash cycle and is being evaluated
for leaving the bay (vehicle exchange active), or if the machine is Homing the Carriage.
Exit Stop Lamp
This lamp will turn on when the vehicle is in the treadle position and the wash cycle is active.
Exit Drive Forward Lamp
This lamp will be latched on as soon as the vehicle enters the bay (Wash Package shifted from Loader to Wash).
It will remain latched on until the vehicle is in treadle position. It will come on again when the vehicle is being
evaluated for leaving the bay (Vehicle Exchange active).
Exit Back Up Lamp
This lamp will turn on if vehicle pulls forward of treadle position during cycle.
Point of Sales Operation
Input Operation
The system is equipped with four inputs that a POS may utilize to select a wash package (insert package into
Loader). These inputs can be used in direct or binary mode. Most commercial POS systems unitize the direct
mode. In direct mode, each of the four inputs inserts a different package into the Loader. Each of the inputs can
be toggled to run one of two Packages. The Packages for the direct inputs are: (Input X13 is Package 1 or 5),
(Input X14 is Package 2 or 6), (Input X15 is package 3 or 7) and (Input X16 is Package 4 or 8). If the system is in
binary mode, each input is given a value. When one or multiple inputs come on at the same time, the sum of the
value associated with each input is added up and the total is the Package number inserted into the Loader.
Output Operation
The system is equipped with an output that signals the POS in one of two different methods. These methods are:
(Wash In Use) and (Wash Done). If Wash In Use is selected, the output will typically turn on when the vehicle
enters the bay (Wash Package shifted from Loader to wash), and then turns off when that vehicle is no longer
being evaluated for leaving the bay (Vehicle Exchange active). If the Wash Done is selected, the Output will be on
most of the time, it will turn off for two seconds as soon as the wash cycle is done.
