1 Overview

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 entry system can be part of a simple “Code Only” entrance stand or feature cash acceptance as a “Coin Box”.
The main console allows cashiers and managers to generate customer access codes, g enerate management reports and configure access control. These various functions are selected by using the keys on the main console.
The customer interface electronics include:
Relays used to control customer guidance lights and activate the car wash
A keypad used by customers to enter access codes
Optional coin and bill acceptor inputs (to allow customers to upgrade at the car wash
entrance)
Optional change making capabilities
An optional alphanumeric display used to prompt the customer
The configurations for the Customer Interface electronics vary by wash manufacturer. The POS4000 provides functionality and commands to support a wide variety of the Carwash professional’s needs. You may find that many of the functions and commands in the POS4000 will not apply to your particular installation.
Fleet accounts are used to provide a pre-defined number of washes to a customer. This feature is useful in selling carwashes to organizations (i.e. police or fire departments), providing carwashes to employees and giving discounts for purchasing multiple washes. Once a fleet account has been established, the number of washes that it is valid for can be modified without changing the other account information. All fleet account accounting is maintained by individual account.
A unique carwash grouping feature allows the operator to merchandise individual carwash functions as well as merchandising carwash packages with special pricing. A carwash group is user definable and sold using a single key on the cashier keypad. For example, a WORKS carwash could be merchandised to include a deluxe wash with all options. This package would have a separate 3 tier pricing structure and separate accountability. Group functionality is not supported by all entry system configurations, and is typically most usable in systems that don’t allow cash acceptance at the customer entrance stand.
A very flexible carwash message structure is provided that enables one to provide the customer with a variety of information. Custom header and footer messages can each be up to 10 lines long and are printed on the top and bottom of every ticket.
In addition to the header and footer messages, five different postscript messages, each 5 lines long, can be defined and assigned to specific carwash features at specific price levels. This allows different messages to be printed on full priced and discounted tickets. This flexibility allows you to advertise discounts to customers paying full price, allows full priced tickets to be saved as coupons toward future purchases, allows you to thank customers who earned a discount for purchasing the goods and services that enabled them to earn the discount, etc.
The operation of the system is somewhat dependent on the options present and configuration of the unit. This information can be obtained by using the system configuration report command (see Section
Document Number: POS4007 1 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Installation and Operations Manual
4.1). However, general operations are very similar for all systems.
POS4000

1.1 Keypad Layout

Figure 1. POS4000 Keypad
During various commands, you will be prompted to enter alphanumeric responses. To do this, you must use the alternate characters printed on the right hand side of the keys. These alterna te key values automatically become active when the console requires alphanumeric data entry. Note that each alternate key has two characters printed on the t op and b otto m right han d side of the key. When the console requests alphanumeric data, the bottom characters will initially be active. You can switch back and forth between the top and bottom values by using the [SHIFT] key.
Several special keys simplify alphanumeric data entry:
[SHIFT] is used to toggle between the top and bottom selection on the alternated keypad during alphanumeric data entry.
[BACKSPACE] is used to erase the previous character.
[CLEAR] has several uses depending upon what information the POS4000 is expecting.
During alphanumeric text entry (i.e. header message), it is used to erase the entire line of data entered and to start the line over. During feature selection, it clears all current features. During numeric entry (e.g. passwords), it clears the number and allows you to re-enter it.
Document Number: POS4007 2 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
[SPACE] is used to add a blank space in the text.
[ENTER] is used to end the current line of text.
[CENTER] will center the text entered. Press once during the text entry of the line to
center.
[RED] is used to print the text in red. Press once during the text entry of the line to print the entire line in red.
[RED] is an upper function, therefore it may be necessary to press [SHIFT] prior to pressing this key.
[BOLD] is used to print the text in Bold (double high and double wide). Press it once during the text entry of the line to print in bold. When a line of text is printed in bold, only half the number of characters of text can be used in that line.
[BOLD] is an upper function, therefore it may be necessary to press [SHIFT] prior to pressing this key
POS4000
Note:
Pressing both [RED] and [BOLD] during text entry will print that line in bold red.

1.2 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.
Upgrading a Wash Select II to interface to a POS4000 require s the following:
Version 1.20 or greater software installed into the Wash Select II
POS4000 with Version 7.20 or greater installed.
Wash Select II 485 communications module. This plugs into the top left corner of
the Wash Select II CPU board.
Cable to connect POS4000 to the Wash Select II 485 communications module
RF transceivers (Optional if your cable connection between the POS4000 and
Wash Select II is not feasible)
The Wash Select II may be configured to convey accounting information to the POS4000 or to withhold that financial information. If you are in a revenue share agreement, you may want to withhold the information. If not, you should convey the accounting information to allow the POS4000 to see the money that is being entered into the Wash Select II entr y system.
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 may, however, configure the Wash Select II to accept the Wash names and Prices of the POS4000. If enabled, the Names and Prices at the WSII are automatically updated to the price at the POS after a power cycle at the WSII or after loss of communications for over 20 seconds (Software versions
7.4 for POS and 3.01 for WSII).
Document Number: POS4007 3 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual

2.4 Installing/Upgrading the EPROM Chip

Depending upon the version of software that is currently in the console, this procedure may delete ALL configuration information, including all codes, fleet accounts, and accounting information. All setup configurations will be reset to factory defaults. To properly facilitate reprogramming this information, you should print the following reports BEFORE proceeding:
Warning:
Perform the following steps to change the POS4000 console soft ware (EPROM):
1. Disconnect all cables to the console
2. Remove the plastic housing. To do this you must remove 2 screws from the rear
and 2 screws from the bottom of the unit.
3. The upper chassis must be partially removed. Remove the middle and front
screws along the side of the metal chassis. Loosen the rear two screws on each side of the chassis. This will allow the top piece to open up revealing the main circuit board.
4. Find the EPROM chip, as indicated below:
System configuration

6.
Carefully install the new EPROM into the socket. Make sure that the Dimple on the chip is facing the same direction as it was before (refer to previous drawing). Also, make sure that pins can be properly inserted into the sockets without bending. Component legs can be bent to fit sockets as follows:
Lay the chip on its side with the pins facing away from you.
Gently rock the chip away from you to bend the pins.
Lay chip on its other side and rock it away from you.
Repeat the above steps, alternating sides of the chip until the pins line up in
the socket without forcing the legs to fit.
7. Reconnect the power and printer connections and turn on the unit. As the system powers up the message “!!SOFTWARE UPGRADE!!” will appear momentarily.
8. After the unit is powered up, you MUST then press the RESET BUTTON to reset the system.

3 Testing

The following information is for technical service personnel; Unitec does not recommend end users repair their own equipment. However the following information may be useful in helping the end user to get his or her system up and running without requiring a service call from the local equipment distributor.

3.1 Console Testing

During the installation and normal operations of the POS4000, there may be times when the system doesn't operate as expected. For example, power to the system interface card may be off. In order to expedite the checkout of the system, several service routines are provided. To access a service routine, press the [CMD] key followed by the [SERVICE] key. The console will request password level 4. Password 4 is always 62747. It cannot be chan ged and is inten ded for service personnel to use for installation and testing purposes. This is the only command that password 4 provides access to. For a specific discussion of this command, see Section

3.2 Interface Board Testing

The POS4000 interface board has a test mode of operation. To activat e this t est mode you must change the dip switches on the interface board as follows:
4.6.
Table 7. Interface Board DIP Switch Setting fo r Test Mode
DIP Switch Setting
4 OFF 5 ON
Make sure you return the DIP switches to normal operation mode when testing is complete. For the normal operations, set the switches as follows:
Table 8. Interface Board DIP Switch Setting fo r Normal Operations
DIP Switch Setting
4 OFF 5 OFF
While the interface board is in the test mode, the customer b uzzer will beep approximately every 5 seconds. Once in the test mode, you select the specific test desired by typing the following codes at the customer keypad:

3.2.1 Relay Test

To check a specific relay on the interface board, you should close that relay by entering the appropriate code at the customer keypad (while the board is in t est mode). T hat relay will remain on until another selection is made or until the board is put back into the normal mode of operation. While the relay is on check continuity between the common and output connector pins of the specific relay as follows:
Table 10. Relay Continuity Check fo r Common and Outpu t Connector s

3.2.2 Input Test

To check any of the inputs on the interface board, enter the appropriate code at the customer keypad. Then apply the appropriate voltage (120VAC or 24AC/DC) to the input being tested. While the appropriate voltage is on the specific inpu t bein g teste d, the cu stom er buzzer will b eep rapidly, while the voltage is off the customer buzzer beeps very slowly. If the optional customer display is connected, the status of the input is displayed.
An LED on the interface board should light while voltage is present. The location of the
Note:
specific LEDs is shown in the "POS4000 Interface Board Wiring Diagram" in the back of this manual.

Wash In-Use D1 D2 Coin Credit Pulse D3 D4 Bill Credit Pulse D5 D6 Audit 1 D7 D8 Audit 2 D9 D8 Audit 3 D10 D8 Audit 4 D11 D8 Audit 5 D12 D8

3.2.3 Keypad Test

To test the customer keypad, leave the interface board in the normal operations mode. As a first test, press each key one at a time and make sure the customer buzzer beeps when each key is pressed. Clear those entries by pressing the * key (some older units have a P key), then enter the two test sequences at the customer keypad: 123450 and 67890. After each entry, go to the POS4000 main console and read the customer code displayed on the bottom right of the console display. The displayed value should match the number that was entered at the interface board.
If one or two keys do not beep when pressed at the car wash entrance, it is likely a keypad failure. The keypad can be checked by making the following continuity checks: First, disconnect the KEYPAD PLUG from the interface board and check for continuity between the connector pins specified when a particular key is depressed.
Document Number: POS4007 18 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
POS4000

If any of these continuity checks fail, the keypad should be replaced. If one row or column of customer keys fails, make keypad continuity check as described above
first. If this passes, reconnect the keypad and check the wire connections between interface board and keypad. Make sure there are no broken wires and make sure all connectors are correctly mated. If the keypad test is OK and the wire connections are good, replace the interface board.

4 Management Control (Command Reference)

The management keys are used to access the various commands available. The management keys are typically white and are located on the top half of the console keypad. They are used for alpha-numeric entries as indicated by the large numeric characters located on the upper right half of the keys and letters located on the lower right half of the keys. They are also used to select commands as indicated by the text on the center of the ke ys.
Two methods are available to select a primary command. The first method allows you to scroll through the primary menu list (by pressing the [MENU UP] or [MENU DOWN] key) and then select the command of interest by pressing the [ENTER] key. The second method allows you to directly access a particular primary menu command by simply pressing the [CMD] key followed by the desired command function key (as identified by the text on the management keys). For example, to print the wash counts report you either press the [MENU UP] and/or [MENU DOWN] keys until the "Print Audit Counts" menu item appears on the disp lay and then pr ess the [ENTER] key to select that command or you can simply press the [CMD] key followed by the [PRINT REPORT] key. Both methods will activate that primary command.
Many of the console primary commands require a password. Those that do will prompt for a specific password (password 1, password 2, ...) immediately after you select that command. To continue with the command, type the appropriate password (using the numbers printed on the management keys) followed by the [ENTER] key.
Many of the primary commands have a secondary command menu list. Once the primary command has been selected and the appropriate password entered, you scroll through the secondary menu list (using the [MENU UP] and/or [MENU DOWN] keys) and select the secondary command of interest by pressing the [ENTER] key.
After a secondary command is executed, the primary command remains selected. This allows several commands to be executed without having to re-enter the password. For example, all of the passwords can be changed once the "Set Passwords" command has been activated. To exit from a secondary menu and return the console to normal operation, scroll until "Press ENTER to QUIT" appears and then press the [ENTER] key.
The password structure is intended to provide various levels of acce ss to th e conf iguration of the POS4000 and the information that it maintains.
As you make numeric or character entries, the number/character is displayed. If a mistake is made during numeric entry, it can be corrected prior to depressing the
Note:
[ENTER] key by pressing the [CLEAR] key and reentering the number. While entering alpha-numeric data (i.e. entering header message), the [CMD] key can be used as a backspace key.
Document Number: POS4007 21 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual

4.1 System Configuration

The System Configuration command allows you to configure many aspects of the console operation to your specification. To select this command press the [CMD] key followed by the [SYS SETUP] key. You will be prompted to enter password 3. After entering the correct password, you can scroll through the secondary menu list that follows:
Set System Time

o Set POS Offset o Set EXT. POS Type o Set POS Max Washes o Set Send Code Age o Reverse order
Multiple Unit MENU ->
o Set Unit Number o Controller/Remote o Set # Bays/Consoles o Prog Remote Consoles
To execute one of the secondary commands, scroll through the secondary menu until the command of interest is displayed, and then press the [ENTER] key. The final three entries in the secondary menu each allow access to a sub-menu. In addition to the choices shown for each sub-menu, there is also an item that allows you to "Return to SETUP MENU".

4.1.1 Set System Time and Date

To set the system date and time scroll through the System Configuration main menu until "Set System Time" appears. Once selected, the console will prompt for the date and time in the format MMDDYYHHMM (month, day, year, hour, minute). Two digits must be used for each entry (i.e.. 3 = 03) and all entries must be completed. Time is entered in military format (i.e.. 4:30PM is entered in the HHMM slot as 1630). After you enter the date and time, the console will prompt for the day of the week where Sunday = 1, Monday = 2 ... Saturday = 7.
As of Version 7.00, the POS4000 is Year 2000 compliant. All printed dates are in 4-digit format. However, whenever entering a date into the POS4000, 2-digit format is used. The 2-digit year conversion is as follows: 00-89 = 2000-2089, 90-99 = 1990-1999. The POS4000 will calculate the correct Date, Day of Week and Leap years until 2089.
As an example, Thursday May 6, 1999 4:37PM is entered as 0506991637 for MMDDYYHHMM and 5 for the day of the week. If an invalid date/time is entered, the console will display "Time Entry Error" and you will have to start over.
Example to set time to Thursday 04:37PM on 05/06/99:
[CMD] [SYSTEM SETUP] [3] (password 3) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Set System Time" is displayed [ENTER] [0][5][0][6][9][9][1][6][3][7]
[ENTER]
[5] (Monday) [ENTER]

4.1.2 Configuring a Group

If "Groups" are available on the cashier keys, this command can be used to configure the groups. A group is a car wash package that includes exactly one of the car wash programs and any combination of options. For example, a "Works" group might include the deluxe wash program and all options available on the car wash. This "group" or package would then be available using a single key on the cashier keypad and would have its own pricing structure and accounting information. As with all car wash functions, the group washes can be renamed to match your nomenclature (see Section
To configure a group scroll through the configuration secondary menu until "Configur e a Group" is displayed and then press the [ENTER] key. You will then be prompted for the group number (i.e.. 1 through 5 if five groups are available). Enter the n umber of the group to be configured using the numbers printed on the management keypad followed by the [ENTER] key (do not use th e actu al group key from the cashier keypad).
You will then be prompted to issue the wash type of this group. Issue the desired wash using the cashier keys as in a normal car wash transaction. For example, press the [Program 1] key, [Option 1] key, [Option 2] key and then the [ENTER] key. Once the car wash type is entered, a group ticket will be printed to confirm your selection. If an invalid set of features is entered, the console will display "INVALID SELECTION" and wait for a valid set of features to be issued.

4.1.3 Set Code Age Warning

This command allows you to change the code age warning message printed on customer tickets. Unitec recommends that this be left at the factory default setting of ‘0’ which will cause no code age warning to be printed on the ticket. The code age value may also be used by the Convenience Store POS System and Pump for printing code age warnings on customer receipts. Because the code age warning printed at the store POS and pump is controlled by the store POS system, Customers should contact their POS supplier or distributor for guidance in configuring the POS system for this message.
Should the Operator choose to provide a code age warning message on receipts, the procedure is as follows:
Scroll through the configuration secondary menu until "Set Code Age Warning" is displayed and press the [ENTER] key.
Once selected, you will be prompted to Enter # of Days Good. The default value should be 0 (no message will be printed on customer tickets). Enter the value for number of days to use in the code age warning message. If 1 is entered, the message will be "Code is Good One Time Today Only". If a number between 1 and 30 is entered, the message will be "Good Once During Next # Days".
Note that with a multiple-console configuration, when code age is changed on the master console, it is immediately downloaded to the remote consoles.
Carwash codes are NOT automatically removed from memory when this time expires
Important:
Document Number: POS4007 25 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
and they will still be usable. If you wish to enforce the code age warning, you must use the Memory Information/Clear Old Codes command
POS4000

4.1.4 Set Code Length

This command allows you to change the maximum number of digits used in codes. Larger customer codes reduce the probability of a jackpotting of the system by guessing random numbers. For example, if the valid codes database is filled with 5,000 carwash codes and the code length is set to 6 (maximum code is 999990) a 10% probability of jackpotting exists, or 10 random codes would have to be tried on average to jackpot the system. With the same 5,000 valid codes but a maximum code length of 7 (maximum code is 9999990) a 1% probability of jackpotting exists, or 100 random codes would have to be trie d on averag e to jackpot the system. Note that with a multiple-console configuration, when code length is changed on the master console, it is immediately downloaded to the remote consoles.
To select this command scroll through the System Configuration secondary menu until "Set Code Length" is displayed and press the [ENTER] key. Once selected, the console prompts you to enter the maximum code length as 5, 6, or 7. Press 5, 6 or 7 as desired followed by the [ENTER] key.
Example to set code length to 6 digits:
[CMD] [SYSTEM SETUP] [3] (password 3) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Set Code Length" is displayed [ENTER] [6] [ENTER]
Note:
Important:
The code length includes the digit 0, which i s always the last digit in a code.
Setting the code length to 5 digits will result in reducing the number of valid codes stored in memory from 5000 to 3000. This is necessary since there is a limited number of 5 digit codes. If there are already more than 3000 co des i n mem o ry, you mu st delete enough old codes to reduce the number in memory to fewer than 3000 or delete all valid codes.

4.1.5 Disable Cashier Keys

This command allows you to disable specific cashier keys. If a key is disabled, it cannot be sold as part of a customer transaction. All cashier keys for features that are not available on the particular carwash installation should be disabled. This prevents a cashier from selling features that are not available and is critical if you have the automatic buy up feature that allows customers to upgrade or pay cash for a wash at the carwash entrance.
To select this command, scroll through the system configuration secondary menu until "Disable Cashier Key" is display and press the [ENTER] key. Once selected you will be prompted Press Cashier Keys to Disable, Then ENTER. Press all cashier keys that should be disabled and then press the [ENTER] key. To enable all cashier keys, press only the [ENTER] key.
Document Number: POS4007 26 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
POS4000
For example, if you have a console with 4 programs, 4 options and 4 groups and you don't use group 4 and the carwash doesn't have program 4 or options 3 and 4, you disable the unused keys as follows:
[CMD] [SYSTEM SETUP] [3] (password 3) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Disable Cashier Key" is displayed [ENTER] [Prog 4] (disable program 4) [Opt 3] (disable option 3) [Opt 4] (disable option 4) [Group 4] (disable group 4) [ENTER]
Example to re-enable all cashier keys:
[CMD] [SYSTEM SETUP] [3] (password 3) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Disable Cashier Key" is displayed [ENTER] [ENTER] (no cashier keys pressed)
Note:
Note:
Cashier keys that have been disabled MUST be re-e nabled using t he above steps.
All programs and options not available on your particular carwash and all group packages not programmed and used by you must be disabled if the buy up option is enabled.

4.1.6 Set Serial Baud Rate

This command allows you to change the serial baud rate of the cash register port on the console. This rate only needs to be changed if you are connecting to an External Point of sale de vice.
To select this command scroll through the configuration secondary menu until "Set Serial Baud" is displayed and then press the [ENTER] key. You will then be prompted to enter the new baud rate. Only standard baud rates are allowed: 1200, and 2400, 4800,9600, and 19200. If you enter one of these rates, it will be saved. If you enter any other rate, an error message is displayed and the baud rate is not changed.
Example for setting the baud rate to 9600:
[CMD] [SYSTEM SETUP] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Set Baud Rate" appears [ENTER] [9][6][0][0] [ENTER]
Document Number: POS4007 27 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
Note:
Note:
POS4000
The new Baud Rate will not take effect until a power reset of the console occurs. To do this, simply turn the ON/OFF switch in t he OFF positi on f or a mom ent and th en ret urn it to the ON position.
The factory default baud rate is dependent on what type of EXT POS interface is configured on default. Serial Baud default for POS1 & POS2 is 19200, serial baud for POS 0 (No EXT POS interface) and POS3 is 2400.

4.1.7 Set Languages

This command allows you to change the language used on the main console display and/or the customer language (used on tickets and optional customer display at entrance of wash). To select this command scroll through the system configuration main menu until "Set Language" appears and then press [ENTER].
Once selected you are prompted to enter the desired console language. Press [0][ENTER] for English or [1][ENTER] for French. Next, you are prompted to select the customer language in a similar manner.
Example to set console language as English and the custo mer language a s German:
[CMD] [SYSTEM SETUP] [3] (password 3) [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Set Languages" appears [ENTER] [0] for English [ENTER] [2] for German [ENTER]

4.1.8 Set Program Relays

This command is only available on systems configured for a specific manufacturer. If a section titled "OUTPUT Logic Block" does not appear on your SYSTEM CONFIGURATION report then this option is not available on your system.
This command allows the output relays on the customer interface board to be configured for Logic and Block values that correspond to each carwash program. To select this command, scr oll through the system configuration secondary menu until "Set Program Relays" is display and press the [ENTER] key.
Once this item is selected, you will be prompted to Enter Program Number. Use the numbers printed on the management keys to select the number of the program you wish to configure (do not use the cashier keys) and then press [ENTER]. Next you will be prompted to Enter Logic & Block. Again, use the management keys to enter the appropriate value. If you enter and invalid logic or block value, the console will display the message "Invalid Logic/Block" and the command will be terminated.
Example to configure Program 1 to have a logic & block value of 32:

4.1.10.3 Set POS MAX WASHES
Note:
Note:
If the external POS type is set to 1 or 2, the current EXT POS settings will print out with a mapping of the Carwash type given vs. the carwash type re quested.
This feature is for use with POS 1 and 2 only.
This function is used to modify the commands received by an external point of sale device such as pump equipment. These commands are configured to ask for more wash types than are available. You should only change this value when instructed to do so from an application note or a Unitec service technician. The default value is 0 (disabled). This value only limits the number of wash types that can be requested by an External POS device, not the number of wash types that can be sold via the console or entry system (cash or buy ups).
Example to set the POS MAX WASHES to 3 (max of 3 washes allowed):
[CMD] [SYSTEM SETUP] [3] (password 3) [MENU UP/DOWN] until "External POS MENU->" appears [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Set POS MAX WASHES" appears [ENTER] [3][ENTER] to select maximum of 3 wash types to be given
4.1.10.4 Set Send Code Age

4.1.10.5 Reverse Order
Note:
Note:
The default setting is 0, which is normal protocol.
This feature is for use with POS 1 and 2 only.
Enabling the Reverse Order function will allow the order of carwashes configured in the External POS device to be reversed. This function is often used when the External POS has the prices configured in descending order (wash 1 on EXTPOS is most expensive). Since the wash prices for an entry system that uses cash must be in ascending order at the POS4000, this function allows the re-mapping of the washes requested at the registers and pumps. This function must be configured w/ POS MAX WASHES to determine how to reverse the order.
Example: Carwash is configured w/ 3 washes: Wash 1 (program 1): Basic $4.00 Wash 2 (program 2): Deluxe $5.00 Wash 3 (program 3): Supreme $6.00 Register is configured to the opposite: Wash 1 : Supreme $6.00 Wash 2 : Deluxe $5.00 Wash 3 : Basic $4.00
To make the system function properly you must configure POS MAX washes (See Section
4.1.10) to a value of 3 (3 washes). Set Reverse order to 1 (enabled). After changing these values the current EXT POS settings will print out with a mapping of the
Carwash type given vs. the carwash type requested. This will show the relationship of the mapping.
If you use groups, you must also set the POS OFFSET (Se Section 6.2.10.1). This function only works with POS 1 & POS 2.
Example to set Reverse order to Enabled: [CMD] to select command mode [2-System Setup] to select "System Setup" menu [3] Enter your password 3 [ENTER] [Menu up] Until you see: "Ext. POS MENU->" [Menu up] Until you see “Reverse order” [Enter] Select function

4.1.10.6 Set Default Discount Levels
POS4000
Note:
This feature is for use with POS 1, 2 and 3.
Setting the default discount levels of the EXTPOS washes will make it so that when the EXTPOS wash is requesting a code, the accounting will assign a specific discount level to the purchase. This will happen even though the EXT POS device does not tell the POS4000 the discount level at which the wash was sold. This feature can only be accomplished C-store register systems that can do the following:
Allow washes to be sold at pump or register only Allow the configuration of 6 or more discrete wash types (depending on the discount levels you
need to implement the register may have to accommodate up to 12 wash ty pes) Whenever this function is accessed, a report will print out to show the mapping of the washes.
Example:
EXT POS will be set up for 12 washes. Carwash has 4 real washes. EXT POS washes are defined as:
Wash 1-4: Discounted washes 1-4 sold at pumps and in C-store Wash 5-8: Full price washes 1-4 sold in C-store only Wash 9-12: Free (rewash) washes 1-4 sold in C-store only
Example configuration process: Set prices in POS4000 for washes 1-4 (don’t forget Discount levels) Enable reverse ordering if required Set POS MAX Washes value to 4

4.1.14 Relay Latching

This command is used to set the relay latching to Momentary Outputs (default), or Latched outputs. When relay latching is disabled (momentary outputs), the relays will pulse on for 1 second then all turn off once the customer enters a code or the appropriate amount of cash. The relays will then pulse on again if the customer upgrades the wa sh.
When the relay latching is enabled, the program relays will come on when the customer activates the wash by entering a code or cash. The relays will then stay on until a wash-in-use signal is inputted to the system, at which time the outputs will all turn off.

4.1.15 Relay Stacking

This command is used to enable relay stacking (default), disable relay stacking, or set to no customer stacking.
When relay stacking is enabled, the program relays will not activate while the wash-in-use signal is activated. The relays will wait until the wash-in-use signal is of f to activate t he relays.
This effectively allows the customers to enter their code or cash while the wash is in use. Once the wash is no longer in use, the appropriate wash is activated and the customer will be prompted to enter the wash.
If relay stacking is disabled, the only difference is that the program relays will be activated immediately upon a valid code entry or when the appropriate amount of ca sh is entered.
If No Cust Stacking is set, the customer will not be allowed to enter a code or cash into the entry system while the wash is in use. If a voice module is available in the entry system, Message 1 should be changed to “Please wait for the wash to complete before entering your code or adding cash.”

4.2 Multi-Use Codes

The multi-use codes feature, also known as "bundled wash" and similar to a fleet account, is use d to sell a number of uses of a particular wash at a preset price. The customer gets a single code for these uses. The price, the number of uses, the type of wash in the package, and the feature number representing this package are preset in a "template". Once a feature (wash) number is assigned to the package, the sale of a multi-use code is similar to that of a regular code, just ringing up the feature number for the package defined in the template.
No programming or setup is needed at the WSII, assuming its connection to the POS4000 is working, for it to accept the multi-use code. When a multi use code is entered, the display will show the number of uses left for the code briefly. If the print receipt option is enabled in the template, a receipt will be printed.

4.2.1 Requirements and Limitations

The minimum version for the POS4000 is v8.20, and v5.02 for the WSII.
The POS4000 must have high fleet feature and the WSII must NOT have enhanced fleet
feature. These features are built into the EPROMs and are not programmable, so make sure to install the right firmware.
The multi-use code is only supported at the master POS4000 if there are remote POS4000s.
The number of codes can be sold is limited by the free fleet account spaces. The multi­use code share the account space with other fleet accounts in the POS4000, where the fleet account capacity is 1000 with high fleet feature.

4.2.2 Template Programming On the POS4000

Perform the command to access the Multi-Use Code Setup:
[CMD] [SYSTEM SETUP] [3] (password 3) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "External POS" is displayed
[ENTER]
[MENU UP/DOWN] until "Set Multi-Use Code" is displayed [ENTER]
If it shows "Menu option not available", check the EPROMs in the POS4000 and the WSII to make sure they have the correct features (see above), then check the communication between the POS4000 and the WSII. Fix the problem and try again.
Then follow these steps:

After these steps, the template is saved and printed.

4.2.3 Selling a Multi-use Code on the External POS

Ring up a wash with the feature number programmed in the template to start the sale. The code issued can be used as many times as the number of uses progr ammed in the template.

4.3 Fleet Account Management

This command allows you to establish and maintain fleet accounts. A fleet account allows you to establish a customer code that can be used multiple times by a fleet account customer. Each time a fleet account is used, accounting information is stored and an account usage receipt is optionally printed at the main console printer.
To select the fleet account command press the [CMD] key followed by the [ACCNT INFO] key. The console will prompt you to enter password 2. Once the correct password is entered, you will see the secondary menu.
The standard secondary menu consists of the following commands:
Print All Accounts
Add an Account
Delete an Account
Print 1 Account
Reset # of Washes
With POS4000 Software Version 7.9 or above and WSII Software Version 4.20 or above (for combined WSII/POS4000 systems with the Enhanced Fleet Option only), Fleet Account information is stored in the WSII. With this software, you have the ability to manage all Fleet Accounts at the POS4000 the same way you would at the WSII, including managing VIP Wash Cards.
When you open the Account Info at the POS4000, you will see t he following seco ndary menu:
Add Account
Edit Account
Add to an Account
Delete Account
Document Number: POS4007 41 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
POS4000
Print Account
Print All Accounts
Print Trans History
Delete All Empty
Erase All Accounts
To execute one of the secondary commands, scroll through the secondary menu until the command of interest is displayed, and then press the [ENTER] key.
The procedures for using these commands are identical to the procedures used at the WSII. Refer to the WSII POS Operations ManualFleet Accounts and Coupons” section for more information on these commands.

4.3.1 Print Current Information of All Accounts

To print information on all existing accounts, scroll through the fleet acco unt secondary menu un til "Print All Accounts" is displayed then press the [ENTER] key. The following information will be printed for all current fleet accounts:
Account code
Account name
Date and time account was opened
Maximum number of washes
Number of uses to date
Receipt printed or NOT printed
Wash type
Unit price of wash
Example:
[CMD] [ACCOUNT INFO] [2] (password 2) [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Print All Accounts" appears [ENTER]

4.3.2 Add an Account

To add an account, scroll through the fleet account secondary menu until "Add an Account" is displayed and then press the [ENTER] key.
You will be prompted first for the Account Name. The account name can be up to 20 characters long and is entered using the alphanumeric charac ters on the keys followed by the [ENT ER] key.
You are then prompted for the Account Code. This code will be given to the customer and used to activate the car wash. Account codes cannot be longer than 9 digits, must end in a 0 and must NOT contain a 0 anywhere else in the code. If a car wash code or fleet account with this number
Document Number: POS4007 42 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
POS4000
already exists, you will be prompted to "Try Again". If this happens, simply type in a different code and press [ENTER] again.
Next you will be prompted for the Maximum number Washes. This is the total number of times this code can be used. For example, if you type 100 followed by the [ENTER] key, the code will be good for 100 washes.
Next you will be prompted to input the Price Per Wash. This price is the amount that the customer will owe for each use of the code. If the customer is paying for the washes at the time the account is established, the price would be set at 0. The price is entered in cents. For e xample, a $2.50 wash would be entered as '250' followed by the [ENTER] key.
Next, the console will display Print when Used? This item controls whether or not a receipt will be printed each time the account code is used. If you want a receipt to be printed when the account code is used press [1] then [ENTER], if you do not want a receipt printed when the account code is used press [0] then [ENTER].
Finally, you will be prompted to Issue Wash Type. This defines the features for which the fleet account code will be valid. At this point, issue a car wash as you would during a normal car wash purchase using the cashier keys. Note that you cannot use a car wash "group" in an account. Once all the carwash features are selected, press the [ENTER] key. If an invalid set of features has been selected, the console will display the message "INVALID SELECTION". At this point, you should re-enter a valid set of features. Once a valid selection is made, the account information will be printed concluding the transaction. This receipt is for the account customer's use.
The car wash pricing information entered when establishing an account is only recorded with the account information. This pricing will be printed each time account information is printed but it is not used in any of the shift report cash totals. Cash accounting for the accounts must be performed by reviewing account receipts or printing information for 1 or all accou nts.
It is recommended that account codes be at least 6 digits to minimize the possibility of someone "jackpotting" an account.

4.3.3 Delete an Account

To delete a specific fleet account, scroll through the fleet account secondary menu until "Delete an Account" is displayed and then press the [ENTER] key. You will then be prompted for a fleet account code. If a valid fleet account code is entered, the current account information will be printed and then the account will be deleted.
Example to delete account 1234560:

4.3.4 Print Information on a Specific Account

To print account information on a single account scroll through the fleet accounts secondary menu until "Print 1 Account" is displayed then press the [ENTER] key. Once this is selected, you will be prompted for a fleet account code. If a valid fleet account code is entered, the information for that account will be printed.
Example to print information for account code 1234560:
[CMD] [ACCOUNT INFO] [2] (password 2) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Print 1 Account" is displayed [ENTER] [1][2][3][4][5][6] (account code 123456) [ENTER]

4.3.5 Reset Number of Washes for an Existing Account

The maximum number of washes available for an account can be reset by scrolling through the fleet account secondary menu until "Reset # Washes" is displayed and then pressing the [ENTER] key. Once selected, the console will prompt for the fleet account code. If a valid fleet account code is entered, the console will first print the status of that fleet account. The console will then prompt for the New # of Washes. When entered, the previous maximum number of uses will be reset to the new # of washes, the number of uses to date will be cleared and the updated account information will be printed.
This function clears the previous number of remaining uses of an account. As such,
Note:
Example to change number of washes to 30 for account 1234560:
you must account for the unused value of this account when you reset the number of uses.
[CMD] [ACCOUNT INFO] [2] (password 2) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Reset # of Washes" is displayed

POS4000

4.3.6 Delete Empty Accounts

This new feature added in Version 6.64 is used to delete the fleet accounts in memory that have used up their available washes. This can be used to clear out some of the fleet account memory when filled up. The fleet accounts deleted will print up as if you selectively deleted each account as with the Delete and Account command.
Example to delete empty accounts:
[CMD] [ACCNOUNT INFO] [2] (password 2) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Delete Empty accounts" is displayed [ENTER] [1] (Yes to delete empty accounts) [ENTER]

Note:
VEHICLES WASHED SUMMARY- Summarizes the sub-totals from the detailed usage counts
WASH TIME INFO M:SS - This section indicates the number of times the car wash was "in-use" for specific time amounts. For example, a count of 50 in the 1:00-2:30 duration indicates that 50 washes were used that lasted between 1 minute and 2 minutes 30 seconds. This information is derived from the wash in-use signal; therefore numbers may not be equal to the Vehicles Washed Summary if washes are activated by bypassing the interface board.
AUDIT INFORMATION - (typically not used) This section contains information about the auxiliary counters that are located on the customer interface board. These counters can be used to count a variety of external events such as coins or tokens inserted at the entry system. The specific use of the counters is dependent on the particular insta llation.
POWER OFF INFO. H:MM - This count indicates the number of times the main console has been powered off for several specific time amounts. For example, a count of 10 in the 1:00-6:00 duration indicates that the main console has been turned off 10 times for 1 to 6 hours each time. This count can be used to determine if someone is trying to defeat the security of the system by turning the power off.
POS4000
The counts for a particular item are, in general, printed only if the count for at least one of the levels is non-zero. This "auto-condensing" feature makes the reports easier to read since extraneous data is not printed.
COMMAND USAGE COUNTS - This section indicates the number of times each type of command has been used.
PASSWORD FAILURES - This section documents the number of times each password has been entered incorrectly. This can be used to flag possible tampering with the main console.
CODE ENTRY ERRORS - This count indicates the number of times an invalid code was entered at the car wash entrance. This information can help raise suspicions that somebody has been attempting to "jackpot" the system.
RAINCHECKS -This count indicates the number of times a rain check has been issued.
CODES VOID -This count indicates the number of customer codes that have been voided
at the main console.
REGISTER SUMMARY - details the following items:
o Register Sales: total value of all codes generated
Note:
o Tax on Sales: total value of tax collected o Sales Refunds: total value of codes that have been voided
The register sales counts do not in clude any entry system sale s or fleet account sales.
o Tax Refunds: total value of taxes from voided codes o Net Register = 1 + 2 - 3 - 4
Document Number: POS4007 46 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
ENTRY SYSTEM SUMMARY (if BUYUP option present) details the following items:
o Cash Deposited: total value of cash deposited o Cash Dispensed: total value of cash dispensed o Net Cash: cash deposited minus cash dispensed
Note:
o Overpayments: Overpayments occur when a customer enters the wash after
depositing some cash, but not enough to purchase the next feature. If overpayments have been refunded by the cashier, the amount refunded must be used to adjust the net register amount. This figure is already included in the Cash D eposited figure.
POS4000
The cash totals are a running sum of each cash tran saction. Therefore, if the pri cing structure is changed during the accounti ng cycle, a computatio n of the total cash v alue of transactions indicated on the account report made usi ng the counters and cu rrent prices will not necessarily agree wit h the total cash sales value.
For example: assume the account report is cleared, o ne program 1 wash i s issued at $1 and then the price is changed to $2 and anot her program 1 i s issued at $2. T he accounting report would indicate that two program 1 washe s were issued and th at the current price of program 1 is $2 while the cash total would be $3 (the correct amo unt).
Overpayment refunds are not processed by the mai n console an d therefore NO
Note:
o Quarters: number of quarters that customers have entered o Bills: number of bills that customers have entered o Token Coins: number of token coins that customers have entered o VIP Coupons: number of VIP coupon notes that customers have entered o Credit Wash: number of washes purchased that involved Credit, Debit, or RFID
COUNTS CLEARED - Number of times counts have been cleared
o Last Cleared: Time/date that counts were last cleared
adjustment is made for entry syst em overpayments refunded. When an overpayment ticket is generated and a refund is given, the ticket should be signed by the cu stomer and cashier and used to reconcile the register.

POS4000
To simplify the message setup, it is recommended that the "change entire message" function be selected when several lines of a message are being changed. This will minimize the number of times the command has to be ex ecuted.

4.8.2 Change Postscript 1-5

Up to 5 postscript messages can be defined. Each postscript message can be up to 5 lines long with each line containing up to 40 regular sized black or red characters (20 if bold characters are used). To change a Postscript message, scroll through the Set Messages secondary menu until the desired "Change Postscript #" message appears, th en press the [ENTER] key.
Postscript messages are only printed when a ticket is issued with a wash function that has a postscript message number assigned to it. For example, if a ticket is issued with full price option 1 and postscript message 2 has been assigned to the full price option 1 feature, postscript message 2 will be printed at the end of the ticke t.
The current assignment of postscript messages is included on the Message Configuration Report. If a ticket contains more than 1 feature with the same postscript message assigned to it, the postscript message will only be printed once. If a ticket contains more than 1 feature with different postscript messages assigned to them, they will be printed in ascending order (1 - 5) regardless of the order of the wash functions they are associated with. If a ticket contains postscript messages and a footer message, the postscript messages will be printed first .
The process for changing a Postscript message is identical to that used to change the Header message.

4.14 Setup a Feature

This command allows you to change the label (or name) of the features associated with each of the cashier keys. These names are printed on tickets when codes are generated, accounting reports, pricing reports and the system configuration report.
This command is also used to assign a postscript message to a feature at a specific price level. For example, option 1 could be programmed to print a different postscript message when issued at full price than when issued at discount 1 or discount 2. This allows you to have special messages with certain discount levels.
To select the setup command, press the [CMD] key followed by the cashier key you want to setup. Once the correct password is entered, you can scroll through the secondary menu that follows:
Change Wash Name
Set Reg. Postscript
Set Dis 1 Postscript
Set Dis 1 Postscript
Set Postscript All $
To execute one of the secondary commands, scroll through the secondary menu until the command of interest is displayed, and then press the [ENTER] key.

4.14.1 Change Feature Name

To change the name (or label) of a feature, scroll through the Setup secondary menu until "Change Wash Name" is displayed. Then press the [ENTER] key.
At this point, the top line of the display will prompt you to Enter Label Name and the second line will display the current name of the feature. By using the alphanumeric characters on the keys, you should type in the new name of the feature.
Warning:
Document Number: POS4007 68 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
If you press [ENTER] when the current name is displayed, you will change the label to be BLANK.
Example to change the name of feature 1 (typically "PROGRAM 1") to "ECONO-WASH":
[CMD] [FEATURE 1] (cashier key) [1] (password 1) [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Change Wash Name" appears [ENTER] [E][C][O][N][O][-][W][A][S][H] (to type [-] you must press [SHIFT] then [R] then
[ENTER]
POS4000
[SHIFT] again to return to the lower characters)
Note:
The [BOLD], [CENTER] and [RED] keys have no effect on wash names.

4.14.2 Assign a Postscript Message to a Feature

The following secondary menu commands allow you to assign a postscript message to a specific price level or to all price levels of a feature:
Set Reg. Postscript (Assign to Regular price only)
Set Dis 1 Postscript (Assign to Discount 1 only)
Set Dis 2 Postscript (Assign to Discount 2 only)
Set Postscript All $ (Assign to all price levels)
Here are some examples of why you might want to assign different postscript messages to different price levels. If you give a free wash with a gas fill up, you could print a special message indicating that this wash is free only with a fill up. Full priced washes could have a postscript message that indicates that the receipt can be used as a coupon for a discount on other merchandise or on a higher priced wash. Full priced washes could have a postscript message that indicates that a discount is available if gas, merchandise or other services are purchased.
If a ticket contains more than 1 feature with the same postscript message assigned to it, the postscript message will only be printed once. If a ticket contains more than 1 feature with differ ent postscript messages assigned to them, they will be printed in ascending order (1-5) regardless of the order the wash functions were selected.
Before assigning postscript message numbers to particular wash functions, it is recommended that you define the postscript message text first (see Sections Configuration report (see Section
4.1). Having a listing of the postscript message text when you
4.8.2). Then print a System
assign postscript message numbers to the wash functions can reduce se lection errors.
Example to assign postscript message 3 to Opt 2 at all price levels:
[CMD] [Opt 2] (cashier key) [1] (password 1) [ENTER] [MENU UP/DOWN] until "Set Postscript All $" is displayed [ENTER] [3] (select postscript message 3)

5 Cashier Operations

The "cashier" keys are the 12 keys (usually yellow) on the bo ttom half of th e keyboard. The main console has been designed so that the majority of cashier operation s will be performed using the cashier keys. Each cashier key corresponds to a single feature. A feature may be a wash program, option or group. The number of each type of feature present and their location on the keypad depends upon the software installed in the POS4000 and cannot be changed by the user.
Note:
During cashier operations, the text on the right han d side of the key s is not used.

5.1 Issuing A Customer Tick et

The cashier keys allow you to select various types of wash programs, options or groups. Any of these wash programs, options or groups can be provided a t full, discount 1, or discount 2 prices. The number of programs and options available is dependent on the specific carwash equipment.
To issue one full price customer code, simply press the wash program key and desired option keys followed by the [ENTER] key.
As cashier keys are pressed, the cumulative price of the features will appear on the top right of the display, an abbreviation of the features will appear on the top left of the display. The wash programs are identified on the display as P1, P2 ..., the options are identified on the display as O1, O2..., and groups are identified as G1, G2 ...
An item is discounted by pressing the Discount 1 or Discount 2 key before the feature to be discounted. The selection is finalized by pressing the [ENTER] key. At this point, the customer's receipt will be printed with:
Header message Customer selections and cost of each item Discount amounts (in red)
pressing the key of
Current day and time Customer instructions Unique customer access code Code age warning Specific postscript customer messag es Footer Message
Discounted features will be printed as a full price item first followed by the amount of discount in red to emphasize to the customer that a discount has been given.
In the event of an erroneous selection, the current features can be canceled by pressing the [CLEAR] key. If an attempt is made to print a ticket for which no wash program and no group selection were made (options only), an invalid wash selection message will be displayed. If a particular feature has been selected with different di scounts, the last selection will be honored.

Example: Discount 2-P2 & discount 2-O1 & discount 2-O2
[DISC 2][Prog 2] [DISC 2][Opt 1] [DISC 2][opt 2] [ENTER]
POS4000

5.2 Issuing Multiple Customer Tick ets

Multiple identical carwash tickets (each with a unique access code) can be generated using a limited number of keypad entries. To generate these tickets, simply enter the number of tickets (10 or less) to be printed using the numbers on the management keys (upper keys on keypad), and then continue to issue the carwash ticket desired. When the carwash ticket is issued, multiple tickets will be printed. For example, to get 5 customer tickets with identical feature selections, first depress the 5 key on the management keypad (do not press the enter key at this time). Then proceed through the normal carwash ticket gener ation procedure.
Example: Print 5 full price P1 & O1 tickets
[5] (Number of tickets to print) [Prog 1] (Features of each ticket) [Opt 1] [ENTER]

5.3 Issuing A Rain check R eceipt

Rain checks can be printed by simply pressing the rain check key. The rain check ticket will include the header message, date and time of issue. These tickets must be traded for a carwash code at a later time.
Example:
[Rain Check]
Rain checks should be given to a customer when it is anticipated that the carwash will not be operating for an extended period. If codes are used as rain checks for a n extended period, these codes may eventually be deleted from the valid codes memory to make room for new codes.

5.4 Checking a Customer Code

The status of a customer code can be verified with the [CHECK CODE] command. To access this command, press the [CMD] key followed by the [CHECK CODE] key. The console will prompt you to enter the code to be checked. Type the code to check followed by the [ENTER] key. The console will print the status of the code as either valid, used, previo usly cancele d or not in memory.
Document Number: POS4007 71 Document Title: POS4000/V2 WSII Operations Manual
If the code is valid, the date/time it was issued and the features associated with it are printed. If the code has been used, the date/time it was redeemed is printed. If the code was previously canceled (using the void code command), the date/time that it was canceled is printed. If the code is not found in memory, the date and time of the oldest valid and used codes currently held in memory will be printed.
Note that fleet account codes will not be validated by this function for the security of those accounts.
Note that with a multiple-console configuration that codes can be checked at either the master console or the console the code was generated from (console connected to the Extpo s).
Possible conditions if code not found:
Issue date on ticket older than oldest valid code: Ticket may or may not have been used (can not determine). If ticket is older than code age warning on ticket, note that to the customer.
Issue date on ticket younger than oldest valid code but older than oldest used code:
Ticket was used but has since rolled out of the used code database
Example to check code 123450:
[CMD] [CHECK CODE] [1][2][3][4][5] (0 is optional) [ENTER]
POS4000

5.5 V oiding a Customer Code

Carwash codes can be voided prior to use. Once a code has been voided, it will not activate the carwash. To void a code, press the [CMD] key followed by the [VOID CODE] key. The console will prompt for password 1, followed by the code number to be voided. If the code is valid, several things will occur:
The code is removed from the valid code memory.
A void code ticket will be printed. The cashier should sign this ticket and save it with the
original ticket for use in the shift closeout aud it.
The number of codes voided is listed on the Accounting Report in the Codes Void section.
The dollar value of the ticket will be added to the void ticket account (this account is printed in the audit report as Sales Refunds in the Register Summary section).
If the code is not valid, a message will be printed indicating this.
In a multiple-console configuration, codes can be voided at eithe r the m aster console or at the console the code was generated from (console connected to the Extpos).
[CMD] [VOID CODE] (Unit prompts for password 1)

6 Customer Access

A customer receives a car wash by entering his unique access code at the customer interface located at the entrance of the car wash. The customer interface includes a metal numeric keypad, coin and bill acceptor interfaces (coin/bill activation and change making is optional) and customer display.
To receive a wash, the customer enters his unique car wash code on the numeric keypad. The "0" that is the last character of every code is used as an enter key. When the code is completely entered and it is determined that the code is not an account number, that code is shown on the main console display in the lower right corner. If the code is valid, the wash type is simultaneously issued and shown on the lower line of the main console display. The issued wash types are identified on the display as P1, P2..., G1, G2... and O1, O2... for program 1, program 2 ..., group 1, group 2 ..., option 1, option 2 ... r espectively.
If the code is invalid, a buzzer will sound at the main console and at the customer interface. The number of invalid codes (since the last valid code) will be shown on the lower line of the main console display. The number of sequential invalid codes can be used to alert the cashier of tampering at the entrance console. Additionally, the "re-enter cod e" relay will b e turne d on brief ly to control a customer guidance light.
If the car wash is in-use when a valid code is entered, a "Code Accepted/Please Wait" relay is activated at the interface. This relay remains on until the wash is available.

6.1 Cash Upgrades (Buy ups) at the Carwash Entrance

Important:
As an optional feature, the POS4000 can be configured to allow customers to purchase a wash or upgrade from a valid code by depositing cash at the entrance of the wash. This capability requires a quarter acceptor and/or a bill acceptor be installed at the customer interface and requires the buy up mode to be enabled. The current buy up mode is included in the System Configuration Report.
If a customer deposits more money than is required, the extra money is escrowed for additional purchases by that customer until they enter the wash. If escrowed money remains when the customer enters the wash, an overpayment statement is printed at the main console. This statement includes:
Note:
Customer code or cash only notice
POS4000 features that are not available on your particular carwash equipment should be disabled in order for the entry system upg rades to be sold correctly.
Buy up mode is not configurable for Hamilton Autotec systems.
