WASHPAY

1 Introduction

The WashPay Site Management System is a highly configurable management system for multi-bay self-serve and automatic wash-bay (with Wash Select II interface) carwashes. The WashPay system consists of the following components:
Sierra Site Controller (for both self server and Wash Select II): The Sierra site controller works as a network server and collects data and generates reports from the card terminals, coin machines and wash bays. The Sierra site controller is remotely accessible by PC for configuration and reporting. The reporting function gives the site owner specific information about the day-to-day income and activities of the carwash. System events are also monitored and recorded using the system software.
WashPay Card Terminal: The card terminal allows the wash to accept major credit cards in the self-serve bays. Multiple purchases by a customer may be combined in to one transaction, minimizing credit card transaction fees to the site owner. Customers may also purchase house accounts using VIP Wash Pass cards. The Card Terminal stores transaction data locally and sends all transaction data to the Site Server.
Receipt Printer (optional): The receipt printer provides the customer with a credit card receipt for services rendered.
If you have a Wash Select II with WashPay integration, you will only have the Sierra Site Controller installed.

1.1 System Management

The Sierra Management Application is used for programming the system operating parameters, viewing and printing reports, and managing house accounts and car wash promotions. The Sierra Site Controller Installation Manual provides guidelines for connecting a PC t o the local site networ k.
To access the management application, type the following into t he address bar:
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9810/web (where XXX equals your site IP address).
When a connection to the Sierra server is established, the log-in page should appear (as shown below). At initial startup, you will use the administrative (ADMIN) user account (user ID 00, password
00). (Note: The factory default passwords for all User Accounts should be changed to secure access to sensitive functions. Instructions for changing passwords is provided in the Sierra Management Application Programming Manual).
Figure 1. Login Screen

WASHPAY
Upon successful log-in, the Summary page of the management application will appear. This page displays a list of devices present on the local network with a count of washes provided and associated revenue for the current day. Car counts and revenu e resu lts from previous day s can be viewed by selecting the desired date in the calendar. The current day data can be updated by selecting the Refresh button. The management functions are shown acr oss the top of the page. A s each function is selected, a secondary menu of related options will appear on the left hand side of the page.

2 Sierra Site Controller Setup

The Set-up functions are used to program the Sierra site controller’s operational settings and for managing system users. Sierra programming should be performed during installation by your Unitec distributor, but there are some settings that an equipment owner may wish to change, periodically. This section of the manual describes the programmable features that are available. For specific details on using these features, see the Sierra Management Application Programming Manual on the manufacturer’s website:

2.1 General Site Information

Site information should be set during installation and would not typically need to be changed. The programmable features under site information include the site name and ID (as shown on reports and notifications), credit card account set-up, and pre-authorization or hot file configuration.

2.2 Product Programming

A self-serve wash would only need one product to be setup. The product settings will need to be set up by the installing distributor, but the equipment owner may need to access these settings to change prices.
www.StartwithUnitec.com.

2.3 Card Terminal Programming

The card terminal’s configuration is programmed by creating a ‘device profile’ and then downloading the profile to the card terminals. Whenever a change is made to the device profile, the associated card terminals will need to be downloaded with the revised profile to implement the changes. The device profile configuration file includes a series of set-up pages, which are described in the following sections.

2.3.1 General Information

The Edit Profile Information page is used to program some general operational settings of the WashPay system including:
Initial Price
Initial Swipe Amount
Additional Swipe Amount
Credit Drive Off Limit

2.3.2 Product Dispensing

The product dispensing page is used to assign the timer operational mode, and set the turn on delay and grace times. The self-serve product must be set-up through the Products page before it can be assigned to a device profile. This feature will typically not be changed after installation.
4Document Number: WP1010 4 Document Title: WashPay Owners Manual
WASHPAY

2.3.3 Equipment Interface

The Equipment Interface Set-up page is used to configure the interface between the card terminal and existing coin box and the pulses per coin or bill. These settings should only be changed by your distributor.

2.3.4 User Interface Set-up

The User Interface set-up page is used to change messages displayed to customers and adju st ‘time­warning times for certain timer modes. This page is also used to customize the text on the screens, that an operator may wish to adjust including the welcome message, thank you message, and stop button message.

2.4 Receipt Printer Setup

The receipt printer setup only requires a paynode name and header and footer text. The site operator may change the receipt message text at any time.

2.5 Download Devices

Once the self-serve and receipt printer profiles have been configured, the device profile must be downloaded. You may choose to download each device individually or download all devices at once. The devices will reboot and come up in operational mode.

2.6 User Management

Unique User IDs and passwords should be set up for employees, service personnel or others that may need access to the WashPay system. The User Set-up pages are used to create new user accounts and to edit or delete an existing account. User privileges that can be assigned are arranged in groups as follows:
User Management – Allows the user to set-up and manage other user a ccounts.
Device Set Up – Allows access to the device (profile) programming f unctions.
Accounts and Promotions – Allows the user to set up and manage promotional programs
and house accounts.
Reports – Allows the user to access the WashPay’s accounting reports
Utilities – Allows the user to access system utilities including data logging and database
back-up functions.

3 Daily Operations

3.1 House Accounts

The accounts module is a product option that allows house a ccounts to be set up and managed in the Sierra server application. Four account types are available: prepaid, subscription, and fleet accounts. Accounts can be configured for redemption by a magnetic stripe card, numeric code or RFID tag. The Accounts module also includes reports for tracking account status and usage. Management functions will appear on the left side of the Accounts management page.

3.1.1 Prepaid Accounts

Prepaid accounts function as a gift card and can be configured with either a monetary value or a number of prepaid washes (e.g. 5 wash pass). Revenue received from the sales and recharges of prepaid accounts is shown in the Other Revenue section of the Site Revenue Report. Account uses (or redemptions) are reported under the Prepaid column in the Net Sales section of the Revenue Report.
The recommended method for issuing a prepaid account is to first create an Account Program through the Programs option in the Accounts menu. Example programs would be a $50 gift card or 5 Express Wash pass. Once a program is established, individual accounts can be issued through the Accounts option in the Accounts menu. Configuration options for prepa id accounts include:
Schedule – restricts the account for u sage on certain days or during certa in hours
Expiration – set an expiration date for the account
Frequency limit – set a frequency limit for account usage (e.g., once per day, 3 times per
week, etc…)
You may reload the account without reentering all information, and the customer may also reload his account at the C-Start. If the balance of the account is insufficient for the purchase, the customer will be asked if they’d like to recharge the account. If they choose to do so, they’ll be prompted to add payment and the account will be recharged for the amount that’s defined in the account p rogram. For instance, if the account program is configured to provide (5) $10 washes for $40, the customer will be charged $40 for the reload and 5 washes will be added to their account. One of those will be applied to the current sale so the remai ning balance wil l be 4 washes. Please note that this feature will also apply to ‘multi-wash’ codes.

3.1.2 Subscription Accounts

Subscription accounts are designed to support an ‘unlimited’ wash application. These accounts are product-based accounts and are valid for a specific wash package. It should be noted, however, that customers using a subscription account are able to add money to upgrade to a better wash if Upgrades are enabled. As Sierra does not include a recurring billing application for subscription account payment, the sale of a subscription account is not reported as revenue. Likewise, redemptions against these accounts are not reported as revenue. Redemptions are included in the
Transaction Count in the summary section of the revenue report but are excluded from the Paid Transactions count.
Document Number: WP1010 Document Title: WashPay Owners Manual
WASHPAY
As with prepaid accounts, subscription accounts should be set up by first creating a subscription account program (e.g. Gold, Silver, Bronze pass) than issuing individual accounts from the desired program. Subscription accounts can also be configured to operate on a schedule and have expiration dates and frequency limits.

3.1.3 Fleet Accounts

Fleet accounts are intended as a ‘house credit’ application where a business will be billed for usage. Typical customers for fleet accounts include local law enforcement agencies and private businesses with a number of vehicles in their fleet. Fleet accounts are set up directly from the Accounts menu option and not from the Programs menu. Once a fleet account is set up for a business, cards, codes or RFID tags may be activated and assigned to individual users (or vehicles).
Fleet accounts can be set up to restrict a user to a single product or to allow them to select any available product. The feature also allows the car wash Operator to assign a discount (as a dollar value or percentage) to the account. This discount will be applied in the Account Transaction report, which serves as the fleet customer’s statement (for billing).
The fleet account set-up page also has a check box, which is used to identify the account as a ‘maintenance’ account. Maintenance accounts are intended to be used for car wash site employees, service providers and others that may need to use the wash but are not paying customers. The use of maintenance accounts is not accounted for in revenue calculations but these uses are counted in the accounting and house account reports for tracking.

3.1.4 Account Programs

The account programs option is used to set-up standard products for pre-paid, Site Lynx pre-paid, and subscription accounts (e.g. $50 gift card, 5 wash pass etc). Once the program is set-up the ‘Accounts’ option can be used to issue or edit an individual a ccount.

4 Component Operation and Maintenance

This section of the manual describes the normal operating procedures and basic troubleshooting and repair techniques for each of the system components. The following procedures are designed to provide you with the hardware troubleshooting and service information you need in order to provide your customers with the highest quality service possible.
When troubleshooting any issue, verify that the power supply is providing power to the affected component.
Note:
Only trained technicians should perform maintenance or repair procedures.

4.1 Pay Node

A pay node is located in each Card Terminal and Receipt Printer. It consists of an LCD screen, a circuit board, wiring, and a metal enclosure.

4.1.1 Running a Self Test

Use the Self Test card (that was supplied with the WashPay System) to run a test on the Card Terminal Pay Node. Swipe the card once to enter the Self Test mode and swipe the car d again t o exit Self Test. The Card Terminal will exit Self Test and restar t. The following da ta will be listed:
STOP key – This test checks three outputs on the pay node:
o Bay Power – The second press will energize the Power Relay for 5 seconds. o Coin Power – the third press will energize the Coin Acceptor Power Relay. o The next press will repeat the cycle.
Note: When running this test, the Coin Acceptor Power Relay will be de-energized when the Bay Power test is active. The Coin and Bill Acceptors will be disabled, if they are powered through this relay. To re-enable the Coin and Bill Acceptors, either exit and re-enter the Self Test, or press the STOP button until the Coin Power test is active.
Input 1 – The number of pulses generated by the device connected to the Coin 1 input will be displayed along with the pulse width of the last pulse. The pulse width displayed will be the pulse width that the pay node sees. It will be different from the actual pulse width generated by the acceptor because of the time delay associated with the input circuitry of the pay node. Note: The pulse count is a two-digit cumulative counter. After reaching 99, the next pulse will reset the counter back to 00.
Input 2 – The number of pulses generated by the device connected to the Coin 2 input will be displayed along with the pulse width of the last pulse. The pulse width displayed will be the pulse width that the pay node sees. It will be different from the actual pulse width generated by the acceptor because of the time delay associated with the input circuitry of the pay node.
Document Number: WP1010 Document Title: WashPay Owners Manual
WASHPAY
Note: The pulse count is a two-digit cumulative counter. After reaching 99, the next pulse will reset the counter back to 00.
Track 1 – When a card other than the Self Test card is swiped, this test will display GOOD if the Track 1 data was read correctly and BAD if it was not.
Track 2 - When a card other than the Self Test card is swiped, this test will display GOOD if the Track 2 data was read correctly and BAD if it was not.

4.1.2 Display Status

Use the Display Status card to display valuable debug information on the paynode’s LCD screen. Th e information will be shown for 30 seconds before the paynode re turns to normal operatio n.

4.1.3 Reset Capture Memory

A Reset Capture Memory swipe card was supplied with the WashPay system. Swiping this card in the Card Terminal will erase all transaction data that has been stored locally in t he Card Terminal.

4.2 Card Reader

The card reader is installed on the front of the Card Terminal and requires the following maintenance.

4.2.1 Cleaning the Card Reader

The internal card reader sensing devices accumulate dirt over time. As this happens, the credit card reader acceptance rate will begin to decline.
It is best to clean your card reader using card reader cleaning cards. These cleaner cards may be purchased directly from your distributor or from the manufacturer of the cleaner cards. The cleaner cards are Unitec stock #MS2031 and can also be purchased from Clean Team by calling 1-800-888-
8830.

4.2.2 Troubleshooting the Card Reader

The magnetic card reader typically reads both tracks 1 and 2. In nearly all card formats, the important data is on track 2. Major credit cards encode the customer’s name on track 1. In the eve nt that track 1 is not read for a credit card, the transaction should still go through but the WashPay will not capture the customer’s name. Use the Paynode Self Test card to see if tracks 1 and 2 on a credit card are reading properly.
