    No Soap

    Several hundred bays here... Orange = 24 hot Green = 24 common

    No Soap

    HA! Virtually every customer of mine has the “glazed eye” condition. My service calls would likely be halved if there were corrective lenses or medication.

    Nayax to LED7 count up

    That's the story. Might have something to do with the CryptoPay/Dixmor relationship? (Rumor and innuendo mode OFF) Too bad, because I like the LED6 display better.

    No Soap

    Turn on a non-soaping bay. Place the tip of a pocket screwdriver on top of that bay's soap solenoid. If it feels magnetized the electrical circuit is functioning properly. If it doesn't, you have an open circuit...most likely the 24v commons for those 4 bays have become disconnected.

    Nayax to LED7 count up

    Correct info Keno. Prior to the "redesign", Dixmor LED6 was the easiest way to install Nayax... Nayax Pulse wire 1 to LED6 Pin 8 (White/Black wire). Boom, Done! On the Dixmor LED7... Pulse wire 1 to LED7 Pin 9 (White/Black). Same Boom, Done! No interface Opto-coupler relay required.

    Nayax to LED7 count up

    That's correct...in theory. Old Guy Side Note: Decades ago, those newfangled digital display coinbox timers used a board-mounted battery to maintain the programmed settings memory. If the timer's battery was dead and the car wash experienced a power outage...well, timer settings reprogramming...

    Nayax to LED7 count up

    Here's a possible anti-confusion solution: The HiLetgo 5-volt module features double throw relay contacts. Power the LED6 (Orange wire) thru the relay’s N/C contact. When Nayax activates, the relay switches to the N/O contact and power is removed from the LED6. When credit card is stopped or...

    Nayax to LED7 count up

    You can by-pass any coin box timer and just let the Nayax provide the power to run the bay. It will display count-up time and money spent. See my informative post here. :LOL:

    Super wash controler identification

    Yeah, it's appears to be similar to Pro Equipment's Navigator Touch Screen. Especially if there's an Omron PLC in the cabinet.

    People washing at home more

    It snowed 10-12” over the weekend with temperatures dropping into the low teens. Monday, the clouds broke, the sun appeared, the streets cleared with sub 30F temp. (We’re closer to the sun here… donchaknow?) The queues were 3-5 cars deep at most of the coin-ops. “You should start taking...

    Trouble calling IDX

    I don't have a problem calling them...because I quit trying. I did a ton of business with them over the past decades. Times have changed.

    Spot Free Hookup

    Noob, I'm not comfortable giving electrical advise to self-proclaimed electrical idiots. LOL! After re-reading your thread starting inquiry, disregard all my excessive instructions. Your existing or newly purchased float switch will work. Just cut the electrical plug off and connect it's 2...

    Air logic question

    Air Logic features Dema solenoid manifolds with incorporated metering valve. The air manifolds don't have metering valves. It's possible that Bay's 1 & 2 have debris blocking the outlets of the metering valve manifold. Try fully opening the metering screws on the "Product" manifold. If that...

    Spot Free Hookup

    I’ve never been comfortable powering RO machines with 120v in the SFR water tank. Additionally, the 100 gal SFR tanks I use are only about 36” high so there’s not enough swing room for the float to open/close the circuit. And, when the tank is filling the waves/sloshing frequently causes the...

    Best concrete fasteners

    IF the anchor goes into solid concrete or brick (no voids), I'd suggest these Nail In anchors with appropriate flat washers. Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware sell them, too.

    New Display for Laurel 3 Column

    My experience is with single column electronic vendors. The new board's display is completely hidden behind the old door. I'd expect the 3-column vendor to have the same issue. No offense Waxman but...that 20-year-old vendor has served you well. Fix it right with a new door and decal. You're...

    Foam Brush Hoses

    I use blue 1/4" high pressure hose with 3/8” crimp on ends. Install a 3/8” brass Street Elbow on the handle inlet and add your favorite 3/8” swivel on each end of the hose. They’ll last many years.

    PreSoak streaking

    Coach, 4WD Hi is the only high pH touchless IBA presoak I offer. Greg Pack's experience and advice is dead on...no need for me to repeat.
