Slugbuster/ACW IV issue
- Thread starter Rudy
- Start date
We were washing so many cars, that I replaced both the slugbuster and the Hamilton controller. So far no problems. I also have a WashGear system installed. Sometimes it would also give a $12 credit erroneously....which makes me feel that it's a Hamilton issue....not a SlugBuster or WashGear issue. Am I on the right track?
While I'm at it.....if it IS indeed a controller issue....can, and how would this be repaired? It sounds like it would be something on a component level...i.e. a bad IC. Could the problem even be located????

I think the first place I?d look is at the Washgear system. It?s connected to the ACW via the Token side of the ACW-4. But on the other hand if you replaced both the Controller and the Slugbuster and have not had a problem then the problem could be in one of those components. The controller and the Slugbuster are both repairable. Call Hamilton customer service and get RA# and send it in. The Slugbuster you can send into Parker Mfg.

I had a similar issue with my WG equipped ACW-5. It would run up a $20 credit any time a card was used. I talked to Jennifer and she suspected the ACW controller wasn't inhibiting. I bought a wash with cash and tried to add extra money when it shouldn't accept it and sure enough, it did. Sent the controller in for repair, no problem since.
