    Can anyone give me a average percent breakdown per income source?

    After I figure out how to change it, you can go with: Vacs 8%, auto 45%, and self serve 47%.

    If You Weren't in the Car Wash Business...

    I've seen some movies where there appears to be some pretty good perks for being a pizza delivery man, a pool boy, and a plumber. I think I could do all 3 if I didn't have car washes to worry about.

    Ww2.0 hitting the end

    Your issue with the gantry lifting is likely because your wheels are not the same diameter or you have bad bearings. ...Or possibly your machine is bent from some prior incident. It shouldn't lift itself if it's in good repair with matching gearboxes and motors. . Also ramping the vfd...

    D and s iq 2.0 vs oasis xp

    The iq sizes cars length wise. I think the confusion here is the ds5000 which does not size cars, but that machine isn't what was inquired about.

    Ww2.0 hitting the end

    You probably lost a bearing if it locked up enough to turn the shaft in the bearing. The only right fix is a machine shop repair (and new bearings), or new wheel (and new bearings). A machine shop could turn it down flat and cap it, depending on how worn down it is.

    Trash cans are gone

    Say what?? Where would this be? I know our country appears to be going that way, but I didnt know such lunacy existed already!? If I lived in that place I would take the effort to deliver all the trash to the city hall... It is public trash and a public service after all in that case.

    Required tool of the trade for sure. If it stops being funny, its time to sell! (Randy)

    WW2.0: Alarm 100

    The eyes on each side of the gantry. Its not the counting prox.

    foam brush solenoid

    I'm sorry to point this out, but it looks like you have a leak just past the backflow preventer... Just don't want you to get more water in that beer. I like the panduit along the top!

    Hamilton DTI not accepting Credit Card/Value Card

    The red stop button doesn't cause the pl card error.

    Hamilton DTI not accepting Credit Card/Value Card

    Pretty sure it just means you had a bad swipe of a preloaded card. One way a card reader can fail is it will generate fake data and think you are swiping a card constantly. The button will give you a button input error instead. Like MEP said, try swapping your card reader.

    D&S 5000 out of sync.

    I think you must have switched the wiring on the limits too then. Otherwise the machine would have faceplanted on the springs and not moved until you switched something. Funny, shows just how simple a 5000 is. You can have 3 things backward and the machine still works!

    D&S 5000 out of sync.

    I think it would have caused you enough confusion when you installed the replacement gantry that you would remember having to switch stuff around to get it working. If you compare the input on the plc for photo eyes to the actual physical location on the gantry (front photo eye to see if its...

    D&S 5000 out of sync.

    If something is set up backward, the gantry would jam at the end of the rail because of the limit sensors not stopping the machine from continuing. If the machine is moving positions, its that you are missing counts (as mentioned several times already). In manual mode, if you cover the EXIT...

    D&S 5000 out of sync.

    The switch to change from auto mode to manual mode has a 3rd position (down). When you have the machine where its supposed to be 'home' (by the car's front door), push that switch all the way down. That should home the machine to that position. The machine will also adjust according to when it...

    D&S 5000 out of sync.

    Your homing issue is due to a count prox issue. Hopefully its not due to bearing slop/wear. The counting prox is also what dictates when to start moving slow, and when to turn on the power blasters, so its likely tied to all of your issues. Make sure the distance is staying the same when the...

    Ideas?? Dema Injector Issue

    At a high enough flow, the injector has to work (if its plumbed in right). By work, I mean create vacuum - it just a matter of the fluid dynamics and the shape of the part. So, either there isn't suction because there isn't enough flow (a myriad of possibilities), or the injector ball/spring...

    Ideas?? Dema Injector Issue

    Belanger units usually have ball valves under the solenoids. Have you tried turning off every one except the one with the injector? Does it appear to be putting out a full spray of water in the bay?
