    Lexair issue

    It sounds like the seal around the puck is leaking. Cut off the water and air. You may need to drain the high pressure tank. Remove the aluminum cap and inside you will find the puck. Blow it out of the cap through the air inlet hole. On the puck you should see a black seal. Replace it with a...

    LaserWash 4000 Arch rotate fail ONLY during low pressure passes

    You might want to try moving the X17 Prox a little closer to the cam. It would best explain why this is only happening on low pressure functions and at the rear. While you are at it make sure the connections are in good shape and there's no green corrosion visible on the Prox Cable.

    Laserwash G5 intermittent arm rotation fail

    The Arch Encoder is connected to the 17N01 card in slot 1 of the Bridge Box. The PDQ part number is 07150002. The G5S uses just the encoder to know the position of the Arch. You have to tell it where the zero position is which is stored on the 17N01 card. Using the zero point as a reference it...

    Washworld High Velosity trolley and bridge Motor running abnormal at Slow speed

    Hi GMV. You are probably going to get lucky with the Output Card, but Speed Controllers are easy to change (take lots of pictures of wiring before you start). If your worried though you can call your Wash World distributor and have them change the Speed Controller.

    Flow meters on low pressure functions??

    2Biz I love your attention to detail. I have never seen flow meters used to allow an operator to see how much change they are making as they adjust the needle valves. This is a wonderful way to make that easy.

    Where do these lines go from the serenoid valves

    The cut lines appear to be the lines out to the bays. They typically would send air or product out to each Bay through some sort of a trough (Usually found in an attic or on the roof. At a point before they drop down into the bay they typically have a tee where the product and air are mixed...

    Stacking Paid Washes at Pay Station

    Since I'm not familiar with how Touch4Wash communicates with the ACW's Controller, I can't really help. I know the Crypto Pay has a small board that attaches to the Controller to tell it that a card was accepted that should allow the Controller to stack the wash. The Touch4Wash would need to do...

    Stacking Paid Washes at Pay Station

    You can turn the stacking off on an ACW. Using the four buttons on the controller mounted to the door you can access the menu and disable stacking. Does it only happen to customers using the Crypto Pay Reader?

    New touchless automatic Chinese wash

    I checked the specs on this machine and it was definitely not designed for the US Market. It appears to have been designed for the European Market. It requires 380 VAC 3 phase which is not supplied by any US Electrical company. There will either have to be 3 step up transformers to take 208 to...
