Anybody using these? How do you clean 'em if they get clogged?

Tom, If this is the east bay it is probably due to the higher mounting of the entire machine. I have one site that I service that was installed about 6" higher than spec and we had to modify the side sonar mount in order to get the sonar closer to the floor which placed it into the middle of...

They can be repaired exactly the same as the black sonars. Either use the connector repair kit from Belanger (Part No. 105844 SONAR SS CONNECTOR KIT $39.08) or you can replace the micro connector on the sonar case with a cord grip and use wire nuts filled with dielectric grease to splice the...

Get yourself a chain breaker, WW Grainger has them and remove as many links as possible while still leaving the clevis bolt threads in the clevis. The pulley near the cylinder should move freely but it is common for these to become jammed from dirt and debris. Remove and clean, lube and reassemble.

Are you using the reclaim output for anything? If not, you can use this output to operate the second pumping station. You will need to add an "Off Delay" circuit to this because the reclaim signal is dropped before the High Pressure pass is completed in order to purge the reclaim water out of...

What size/model Sta-Rite are you guys replacing the Laserwash Procons with?

That price is a little stiff too, here is the current price for the front/back sonar. The side sonar is the same price. 1ELECT-SN935 - SONAR-FRNT/BCK AFT 12/01 - $412.34

The sonar connection gets corroded and that causes the sonar failure. Usually the sonar is fine just the connection is bad. On the older sonars this connection was aluminum. Belanger has a kit to replace the aluminum connection plug with a stainless steel plug Part No.105844 - SONAR SS CONNECTOR...

Like the previous answer I agree that you need to be sure break away faults are from actual contact with a vehicle or are they happening intermittently throughout the wash cycle. If the faults are unexplained by contact then yes, check the adjustment of the whisker switch although that can be...

"In your Deluxe Door Control cabinet there is a "Wash Close CR3" Relay located to the >left< of the terminal strip." Oops, CR3 is to the right of the terminal strip.....

In your Deluxe Door Control cabinet there is a "Wash Close CR3" Relay located to the left of the terminal strip. CR3 has two sets of contacts connected so that they can be wired using the terminals on the bottom. Pick either the left two or the 3rd and 4th and connect X34 (Wash Closed Input) in...

Another common cause for this is a bent side spray arch SOMETIMES interfering with the eyes during start-up test. Multiple arch hits resulting in sheer pin breakage can also slightly bend the arch towards the eyes. Eventually enough small bends accumulate into eye blockage. Remove side spray...
