1 Overview of Remote Code POS4000

The POS4000 is a car wash access controller that provides both a merchandising tool and cash security. The system consists of a main console, which is typically located near the cashier, and the Wash Select II (WSII) entry system that is typically located at the entrance of the car wash.

The Remote Code POS4000 is used when an electronic connection to the Wash Select II is not feasible. The Remote Code POS4000 generates a 6 or 7 digit code that also contains wash data in it. This code is then entered into the WSII. The WSII extracts and validates the data, then stores the code in a database and authorizes the wash. Remote codes can be sold by the cashier at the console or through the external POS (e.g., gas pumps). The operations are the same as that of regular codes.

The Wash Select II may be configured to interface to a POS4000 in order to be activated by codes sold at one or multiple POS4000 units. This is how a Wash Select II/POS is configured to operate. Any Wash Select II may also be upgraded in the field to interface to a POS4000 either by direct wires or via encrypted codes from a Remote Code POS4000. The Wash Select II can support having BOTH a direct (wired) POS4000 link AND Remote Code POS4000s enabled on the unit. When both types of POS4000 links are enabled, we highly suggest that different code lengths are assigned to the linked POS4000 and to the Remote Code POS4000 to limit the chance of duplicate codes being generated. A code will first attempt to be verified by the Remote Code POS4000, then it will be sent to the linked POS4000 for verification.

1.1Requirements and Limitations

•The minimum version for the POS4000 is v8.25, and v5.53 for the WSII.

•Code Length: 6 or 7 digits. Some external POS systems that require a 5-digit code will not work with the Remote Code POS4000 (i.e., Verifone Ruby).

Note: Unitec highly recommends using 7 digit codes if possible to reduce the chances of jackpotting codes.

•Maximum number POS4000 consoles:

o 6 digit code – 3 Masters plus their remote consoles

o7 digit code – 4 Masters plus their remote consoles

•External POS connection to POS4000: Allowed only on Master console

•Maximum number of WSII Units: 1 Primary and its’ secondary units

•Maximum code sales per day: 190

•Maximum code age: 60 days

•Capacity of used code history: 90 days after sales date or 12000 codes – whichever comes first

1.1.1Remote Code Changes That Affect Configuration

When the remote code is set to enable, the following set up functions are disabled (“Feature Not Available” when accessed):

Document Number:	POS4010	1

•Fleet related functions (Account Info button)

•Void code (Void Code button)

•Code management functions (Memory button)

•Check code (Check Code button)

•Reprint Receipt

•Code Length (Maximum Code Length)

•Code Age (Enter # of Days Good)

•Cash Upgrades

•Ext POS Multi-use code setup

•Number of Bays under Set # Bays/Consoles

•Optioning - disabled only when using 6 digits codes

1.1.2Remote Code Changes That Affect Reporting

On the System Configuration Report:

•Multi-use codes will not be there with Remote Code enabled

•Remote Code parameters will be there with Remote Code enabled Audit Counts

These items are still displayed when Remote Code is enabled:

•Code Usage and Wash Activation Summary

•Ext Pos Multi-Use Code Summary

•Vehicles Washed Summary

•Wash Time Info

•WSII Fleet Usage Info

•WSII Fleet Sales Info

•CIN Code Failures

•Codes Void

•Coin Box Summary

•Coin Box Pricing

1.2Enable and Setup Remote Code

Note: A remote POS4000 running the “Ext POS at remote POS” software option cannot be used as a remote unit with a Master POS using Remote Code.

1.2.1 Setting Up the Primary/Master POS4000

To enable the Remote Code function at the Primary/Master POS4000 console: System Setup -> Remote Code: 1=enable, 0=no

The following parameters MUST be set in order for Remote Code to function properly:

Document Number:	POS4010	2
Document Title:	Remote Code POS4000 Installation and Operations Manual

P O S 4 0 0 0

•POS4000 ID: 1-4

o Master POS consoles must set to 1

Note: If you are using 6-digit codes, you may only use 3 Master consoles. o Secondary Consoles must be set to Units 2-4.

o Remote consoles POS IDs must match the corresponding master console.

•Code Age: number of days a code is good after purchase. 1 to 60 days, default 14

•Daily Limit: maximum number of codes can be issued per day: 10 to190, default 100. Note: When the Daily Limit is reached, the code issued will be 0, which is invalid.

•Security Code: used to encrypt the wash code, up to 7 digits. Using simple numbers like “1234567” or “3333333” is discouraged.

•Verify the time and date settings on the POS4000 and WSII involved to make sure they match. The Remote Code function will not work properly if they are not synchronized.

NOTE: You MUST complete all of the above settings until they print or the settings will not be saved!

After completing the items, the settings are printed out. Keep this printout as the same settings need to be programmed into the WSII and any remote POS4000 units.

1.2.2 Setting Up the Secondary/Slave POS4000s

If there are any remote units, the Remote Code feature needs to be enabled too. System Setup -> Remote Code: 1=enable, 0=no

In the remote unit, only Code Age setting needs to be entered, the rest are not present. The settings are not printed.

•Code Age: number of days a code is good after purchase. 1 to 60 days, default 14

Once the Remote Code is enabled, the connection to the WSII is automatically disabled. If the system time is changed on the POS4000, the sequence ID counter function of Remote Codes will be reset and result in duplicate codes.

Note: The Multi-unit Settings must be re-programmed manually if the Remote Code feature is disabled.

1.3 Sierra Server Integration

The Portal, Sentinel, and WashPay system may be configured to interface with a Remote Code POS4000 via the Sierra Management Application. Login to the Sierra Management Application and go to Setup>Site>Select Standard for Server Mode>Click Server Parameters>Click Enable under Remote Codes. Enter the following parameters so that they are an exact match to Remote Code POS4000 configuration settings. Enter the Code Length, Terminal ID, Code Expiration, Daily Limit, and Security Code, then assign the washes in the correct order listed in the POS4000. Click Save.

1.4 Wash Select II POS System

The Wash Select II may be configured to interface to a POS4000 in order to be activated by Codes sold at one or multiple POS4000 units. This is how a Wash Select II/POS is configured to operate. Any Wash Select II may also be upgraded in the field to interface to a POS4000 either by direct wires or via RF (Radio Frequency) interface.

For Remote Code functions, make sure washes and options programmed in the WSII are same as ones programmed in the POS4000 or the code will be declined. For example, a code sold with an option will not be accepted in a WSII with optioning disabled. Also verify the date settings on the WSII and the POS4000 involved to make sure they are accurate because the Remote Code function depends on them.

Upgrading a Wash Select II to interface to a Remote Code POS4000 requires the following:

•Version 5.50 or greater software installed into the Wash Select II

•POS4000 with Version 8.24 or greater installed.

•Wash Select II 485 communications module. This plugs into the top left corner of the Wash Select II CPU board.

•RF transceivers (Optional if your cable connection between the POS4000 and Wash Select II is not feasible)

The Wash Select II is mostly configured at the Wash Select II entry system. Most of the entry system settings in the POS4000 are not used by the Wash Select II. You must configure the Wash Select II to accept the Wash names and Prices of the POS4000.

Here is a list of functions and features that must always be programmed at the Wash Select II entry system:

•Credit system

•Speech recordings and settings

•Receipt Header

•Wash Interface (Remote Code, Relay Stacking, Relay Latching, Out of Service etc.)

•Customer Interface (Upgrades, forced selection, Customer stacking etc…)

•Paging functions

•Cash and Token settings.

•System time, Printer config, Site ID, and Service Phone #

•VIP Wash Coupons™

•Passcodes & Passcards

Note: You must program the names and prices directly into the Wash Select II and they must match the POS4000 names and prices in order for Remote Codes to function properly.

1.4.1 Enable and Setup Remote Code

Before starting using remote code, make sure these requirements are met: on the WSII:

•Expansion memory installed

•Credit Mode is NOT set to credit mode 3

1.Using the toggle switch at the top of the CPU board, place the Wash Select II in setup mode by moving the switch toward the back of the Wash Select II case. (The CPU board is located on the inside right wall of the Wash Select II case.)

2.Using the (3) key to scroll forward and the (1) key to scroll back, scroll through the main menu until the "Wash Interface" option is displayed. Press the (*) key to enter.

3.Use the (3) key to scroll until the "Remote Code" option is displayed. Press the (*) key to enter.

4.“Use Remote Code?” will be displayed. Press (1) for yes and (3) for no. Press (*) to enter.

Once enabled, go to Parameter Setup and enter the following information:

•IDs of POS Where Codes Sold: enter the ID of the POS4000(s) where the code is sold. Up to 4 POS4000 IDs are supported. Default = 1

•Code Expiration: number of days a code is good after purchase from1 to 60 days. Default=14

•Daily Code limit: maximum number of codes can be issued per day from 10 to190. Default = 100

•Security Code: used to decrypt the wash code and is up to 7 digits. Using default value or simple numbers like “1234567” or “3333333” is discouraged.

Note:

After completing the items, the settings are printed out. Keep printout as the same settings are entered into the POS4000(s).

For any Secondary Units connected to the Primary unit and using remote code, enable Remote Code on that unit too. However, no parameters need to be programmed on those units.

1.4.2 Remote Code Utilities

To access the Remote Code utilities, go to the Wash Interface menu.

•Print Used Codes: Get a printout of the redemption of the codes sold on a particular day. Enter the date when the code issue date in the MMDD format (leading 0 required), then press ‘*’. Codes redeemed in any secondary units connected are included too.

•Clear Used Codes: To clear the code redemption history.

1.4.3Changes to Code Entry on Wash Select II

When Remote Code is enabled, these features apply to all codes entered in the WSII keypad:

•DO NOT use 6 or 7 digit codes for fleet accounts when using Remote Code. The Code Length may conflict with codes sold at the Remote Code POS4000.

•Zeros in code no longer serve as the Enter key, it can appear in any position for any code.

Document Number:	POS4010	5

P O S 4 0 0 0

•Fleet Account codes which have less than 5 digits will require the * key to enter the code. Although the code still requires the 0 at the end during setup, the 0 no longer acts like the Enter key – you must press *. If you enter a fleet code less than 5 digits and do not press *, the screen eventually resets back to Please Enter Your Code – the code is not accepted.

•For codes longer than 5 digits, a 3 second pause will cause the code to be entered automatically

1.4.4Accounting Report Changes

When Remote Code is enabled the following data is omitted from the Site Summary section of the WSII Accounting Report:

POS4000 SALES replaced with POS4000 CODE SALES POS4000 REFUND replaced with POS4000 CODE USAGE

A new section has been added to the Accounting report – the REMOTE CODE REDEMPTION section, which includes the source of codes, sorted by the ID of the POS where codes are sold, as well as wash types, prices and number of redemptions. The number of codes rejected is shown at the bottom. Here is an example:

POS 1:
Express $ 6.00 :			42
Super	$ 7.00 :		23
Deluxe	$ 8.00 :		15
Works	$ 9.00 :		18
TOTAL		:	98
POS 2:
Express $ 6.00 :			25
Super	$ 7.00	:	23
Deluxe	$ 8.00	:	17
Works	$ 9.00	:	25
TOTAL		:	90
Rejected			: 3

A note on Accounting Reports at Multi Bay sites: The Primary WS2 Accounting report contains the Remote Code Redemption Section which accounts for all bays. All codes redeemed and rejected are reported on the Primary – This section should not appear on a Secondary WSII report at all. The Activation Details, however, are reported at each unit under the Activation Summary.

2 Installation

These instructions should be used as a guideline. If the wash manufacturer you purchased the system from provides more detailed wire and installation instructions then please use that information instead.

2.1 Pre-Installation Requirements

If your system comes with separate entry system installation instructions then follow Note: them for the entry system and use the following references to POS4000 Console

installation only.

	Warning:	Never run the communications lines in the same conduit as wires used in powering the
		entry system or the carwash.

•Dedicated duplex (120 Volts/60 Hz, 3 amps, grounded) receptacle at location of main console. One is required for the console and one for the printer. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be readily acceptable. Ground hole of receptacle must be properly connected to Earth Ground.

•POS4000 main console, printer and wall transformer

•POS4000 interface board with keypad

•POS4000 main console/interface cable (3 conductor, 22 gauge with shield)

2.2 Wiring

Figure 1. POS4000 Connections

The wall transformer plugs into a 3-prong earth grounded wall outlet, the connector at the end of the cord attaches to the mating connector on the back of the main console. This cord connects the power and Earth Ground connection to the Console.

You may have POS consoles set up as Primary and Remote (hard wired together), or you may have totally separate/independent POS consoles (not wired together) issue codes to be validated at the WSIIs. In this case, you must ensure the units have different POS IDs.
