    LW4000 measure woes

    got the cable installed today. Only connected wire to 24CX30 from the terminal block in J4 all the way to the 24CX30 terminal on the virtual treadle controller in JO. This hookup duplicates the original wiring setup. I'll try it for a few days and report back. All seemed to work fine during...

    LW4000 measure woes

    I pulled up the book this morning. There are 3 wires on the x30 circuit. 24+ 24c, and 24cx30. I assume I'm only concerned about 24c and 24cx30 correct? 24+ is power for all the circuits. I can run 24cx30 all the way from the prox switch cable junction in J4 back to the I/O card terminal 30...

    LW4000 measure woes

    No, don't have that. We replaced the right limit switch this morning. Washed a few cars then it turned short to wash passenger side and hit a pickup tailgate. Very random. Should the cable be pulled all the way to the input card X30? Or just to the wiring block in the right side of JO??

    LW4000 measure woes

    I have a LW4000 with VT and it measures correctly when it creeps left toward the front bumper, but when it crosses the rear of the vehicle it sometimes goes wide to the right limit, sometimes measures short and hits the car as it comes down the right side creating an impact switch alarm. We...

    swipe first then select item with cryptopay on ACW

    I've been researching all I can about Cryptopay and want to retrofit my ACW on a LW4000. The Installation video shows testing with the customer selecting the one of four options first, then swiping the card. What if he swipes first, then selects item? I can't find any reference to that...

    R/O excessive reject water

    Got her fixed. Replaced the membrane and also replaced the carbon in the carbon tank. I'm getting 1.1gpm at 150 psi which is where it should be. My last membrane replacement was May 2009. Thanks for the help. David

    R/O excessive reject water

    40psi on the inlet line. I can screw the regulator in and get up to 200psi+ on the gauge, but the product flow meter only will climb as high as .3gpm. I'm getting so much reject water that it is overflowing my reclaim tanks, but my product quality is in the 90 to 95% range. Seems like the...

    R/O excessive reject water

    I have a Syncro 1500 R/O production unit. It should produce 1.1 gal/min. It has dropped to .3gpm and the regulator has no effect on raising the production, and I am getting excessive reject water. The output meter shows 90-95% range which is one notch below the best. Has my membrane blown a...

    attempted lock drilling

    Thanks I.B. I will have to get my son to call Surevend Monday to order a new lock before we get it open, otherwise we won't be able to close it. The Medeco lock is integrated into the T-handle.

    attempted lock drilling

    My son called me today and said someone attempted to drill the lock on our Surevend machine with a Medeco lock in a twist handle. He cannot get the lock open now. Can someone PM me a way to get the lock open? Don't post it here for obvious reasons. I'm on vacation and he is watching things...

    slop in the trolley gear, laser 4000

    I see everything spin about 1/4" all the way to the swivel. That seems like a lot of play to me and shouldn't be there.

    slop in the trolley gear, laser 4000

    All sounds kind of familiar. What would be causing the loose feeling or slop? Is there a key inside there? Because of the looseness it misses X16 sometimes when the arch goes to "home", giving me an arch index failure.

    slop in the trolley gear, laser 4000

    I can grab my arch and wiggle it back and forth (arch rotate index axes). This indicates a worn key or gear box (I think). It's been so long since I replaced one, I don't remember how it comes apart. The 1" pipe is attached to the straight swivel, then passes through the arch index cam, then...

    want to add a large font display for my autotec

    Okay, excuse my laziness. I should have searched a bit, and I haven't been on the forum for almost a year. My son runs the wash now. I'm all over the country in my RV. I just read "Scout's" post on page 2 for Hamilton upgrade and the advice was that Dixmoor has a display. I'll give Randy a...

    want to add a large font display for my autotec

    I have an older autotec linked to a POS4000 in a C-store wash. It serves me well, but the display on the Autotec LED is too small and hard to read in sunlight. Is there an after market large display that could be paralleled to flash the same text from the Hamilton that customers could actually...

    Problems with LaserMinder on L4000

    I had this problem before, but I cannot remember how we fixed it. It had nothing to do with the Lasermind on my unit, I do remember that. It seems like it was something to do with the treadle mat and the back up switch not working right. I have an A5000 controller with floor switches. One...

    Plumbing 55 gallon drums in series

    I've got 15 drums on my roof to store spot free. It gravity feeds to the main tank in the equipment room with a 3/4" float valve from the hardware store. When the sun finally breaks one down, I replace it. They are laying on their sides on a wood cradle positioned over the top of my bay...

    1099's we've got to get this repealed

    I just called my House Rep and lobbied my opinion for him to vote for HR4 which is supposed to go to the floor for a vote this week. He is a democrat and voted for the healthcare bill, but I hope he will kill this stupid provision. David
