    Hamilton Goldline with Crypto Pay Locking Up

    you are confusing two different scenarios. the "purchase is complete" message is related to the cryptopay and hamilton interfacing. according to hamiltons post earlier, they have identified and offered a fix for this. the second scenario you mention is loading a wash from the carwash...

    Hamilton Goldline with Crypto Pay Locking Up

    when i was working on this problem, it was not a stacking issue. switching from active to passive didnt do anything. i have also manually pulsed the goldline escrow signal from the wash controller, with no results. the only way to clear our "purchase is complete" message was to cycle power...

    Hamilton XE problems

    if you get it serviced, have them turn the validator shutdown times to 0. otherwise the 6.9 error will stop validtor from accepting money for 5 minutes. it thinks it trying to get cheated.

    Hamilton Goldline with Crypto Pay Locking Up

    Is this a new style goldline? (the one that has to have the handheld programmer to program all settings). If it is, then yes Cryptopay and the Goldline don't work quite right all the time. they lock up and have to be reset. I sold two new goldline autocashiers last year. we ordered them...

    new worldpay fee?

    the average cost of processing credit cards just increased about half a percent last month at each of our washes. cryptopay with worldpay at all locations. it is a "processor per item fee -authorizations" at $.0900 each. this is a new fee.

    Cameras and security systems

    with the wyze, you can set delays that wont send you an alarm until a set time criteria is met. so if I can tie into the inhibit on the validator and have it alert me if the signal is on for more than 15 minutes straight, maybe hoping it would not have too many false alerts.

    Cameras and security systems

    on the wyze camera system we have taken their door contact switch apart and soldered a couple wires to it. then we hook them to relays which will notify us of some equipment malfunctions. a couple of examples: our goldline autocahiers have an out of service relay built in them. we hook our...

    CryptoPay/ACW4 is spontaneously loading washes

    is it only one wash selection that keeps getting loaded? if it is only one, then pull that Hamilton relay out and tape off that selection. if you continue to get that same wash loaded, the problem is not Hamilton or cryptopay, it would be the wiring to the pumpstand or an issue in the...

    Ssa-9001c program

    if I'm not mistaken, specialty and aok are alike. I have a used aok in storage or maybe you could find an aok panel and make it work.

    ACW4 Changed all prices to $63.75 on its own.

    I had this issue a few weeks ago where we lost all settings whenever the attendant powered down when he was trying to reset credit card issues. I searched the archives here on the forum and found the info on changing the bram and memory module. Just wanted to thank randy and others for the...

    Best Merchant account rates

    same location 2 iba average under 4% with Hamilton and tsys. Self serve bays average over 8% with cryptopay and world pay. I have the dial up Hamilton. Been thinking about cryptopay for the autos, but it doesn't pencil out. Now I'm thinking dan system. I can get either system for about the...

    Best way to inject chemical in pressure fed pump

    you can also size the rinse tank as small as possible, as long as the fill valve and water pressure can keep up. Ive seen some setups with a rinse tank about the size of a gallon jug (for one pump). This allows the hot water to get to the gun faster.

    Best way to inject chemical in pressure fed pump

    getnbusy agreed the best setup in a carwash is as you described with tanks. keep in mind, what you described involves buying 3 tanks, a float valve, 2 hydrominders, checkvalves, ball valves, solenoids. Also, the hot water tank cools off in between uses, so throw in a tank heater element...

    Best way to inject chemical in pressure fed pump

    What is your preferred way to introduce high pressure soap and wax into a self serve pump that is fed with city water pressure? Windtrax uses a spraying systems zero pressure valve, other use a flojet pump, others use a dema 203. Is it better to do it on the inlet or the outlet side?

    LW4000 stops when cold

    don't pay attention to manual mode operation. I would check with washworld/ pdq and ask what oil they put in. Some mfgs take out the original oil (as specified on gearbox) and put in oil that meets their specific needs. As I stated earlier, I have had this exact same scenario play out before.

    LW4000 stops when cold

    I had a new install where this exact same thing was happening. turns out the mfg's supplier had the wrong oil in the gearboxes.
