WASH SELECT II
1 System Overview
1.1 Introduction to the Wash Select II with WashP ay Integration
The Wash Select II is a self-serve unattended automatic car wash entry system designed
specifically for the self-serve car wash market. The Wash Select II accepts various forms of
payment, interacts with customers at the car wash entrance, an d arms the car wash.
With WashPay integration, the Wash Select II functionality expands to easily access remote
reporting via the Internet, unlimited fleet accounts, and increased marketing and promotions
functionality.
1.2 Wash Select II Function Changes with WashPay Integration
When the Wash Select II interfaces with the WashPay server, a few functions are moved
from setup and operation in the Wash Select II to the WashPay server. The Wash Select II
will display the message “Settings are in the WashPay Server.” For further information on
how to program these functions, please see the Sierra Software Management Application Programming Manual at
www.StartwithUnitec.com. Those functions are:
• Price and names of washes and options (added services)
• Fleet account management
• Text message setup (greeting, receipt header, second line messages, and option
prompt)
• Token value setup
• System time and date
• Alarm duration
• VIP wash coupon setup
• Specials scheduling
• Fundraiser setup
• Free wash scheduling
A few functions will be disabled and will display the message “this function/setting is not
available when connecting to WashPay server”. Those functions are:
Code entry for fleet accounts will require pressing the (*) key, unless the code is 5 digits or
longer. In this case, the code will automatically be accepted after 4 seconds. In cases where
the Wash Select II is connected to a POS4000, codes will be verified by the POS4000 first,
then the WashPay server.
1.3 Setup and Operate Modes
The Wash Select II functions in two different modes: Setup and Operate. It can be placed in
either mode by using the toggle switch at the top of the CPU board which is located on the
inside right wall of the Wash Select II case. While in “Setup” mod e, the Wash Select II can be
programmed and reports can be viewed using the main display screen or printed using the
optional thermal receipt printer. When in “Operate” mode, the Wash Select II allows the
customer to purchase four different wash packages using several different methods of
payment.
Figure 1. Setup/Operate Toggle Switch Location
1.4 Customer Interface
The Wash Select II offers many features that allow effective customer interaction, such as
large-character daylight readable displays and oversized butto ns. As customers approach the
entry system unit, they can be greeted with a customized, pre-recorded message
same time, instructions on the main display guide the customer through the ir choices.
The customer can either select their wash package first, and then insert payment, or insert
payment and then select their wash package. Whichever way they choose, the unit will
prompt them for either payment or wash package selection. When the customer has paid and

Pre-recorded voice messages are included with the purchase of the Speech option package.
selected their wash package, they are prompted to begin the wash by either driving forward,
or by pressing the start button and following the wash bay instruction s.
Within these basic parameters, there are many options available for you to program to
customize your individual customer’s wash experience.
1.5 Wash Select II Features
The Wash Select II car wash entry system provides the features you need in order to most
fully profit from your car wash.
1.5.1 Standard Features
The Wash Select II standard features provide the full range of services required by an
advanced wash entry system:
• MARS Bill Validator, which allows acceptance of $1, $2, $5, $10 bi lls.
• 2500 coin capacity change hopper for dispensing U.S. quar ters
• Acceptance of U.S. quarters via the Slug-buster II® single-coin acceptor
• One large-character daylight readable main instructional display
• Four large-character daylight readable wash selection displays
• Provides up to four wash packages
• Eight programmable wash arming relays
• Fault and warning output relays
• Pass-codes for easy entry to menus without unlocking the unit
• Padlock holes for added security in top and bottom of Wash Select II Case
1.5.2 Optional Features
In addition to standard features, the functionality of the Wash Select II can be expanded with
the purchase of additional optional features:
• Credit – This option allows your unit to accept all major credit cards. It includes
credit option software, a card reader with interface cable, and a credit transaction
modem with power supply and interface cable. In addition, your site will require a
dedicated phone line on site, and a Merchant account. With the purchase of this
option package, you also receive the Remote Reporting and Paging options as
well.
• Multi-Coin Acceptance – Featuring an IDX coin acceptor, the Multiple Coin
Acceptance option gives your WS II the ability to accept U.S. quarters, $1 US
coins, $1 and $2 Canadian coins (loonies and toonies), and as many as four
different bimetal tokens through a single coin slot. Detailed information for
programming, operation and maintenance of this option can be found in Section
• Multi-use Codes - The multi-use codes feature, also known as "bundled wash"
and similar to a fleet account, is used 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. (POS4000 console is required - no programming or setup
is needed at the WSII.)
• Speech Option – This option allows the Wash Select II to give voice prompts to
the customer. This option includes a speech circuit board and a speaker. The
Speech option may be shipped with your unit, or purchased as an upgrade for an
existing unit. This option features several different voice prompts including a
greeting message (which requires the proximity option), a message asking the
customer to make a wash selection, and a message asking the cu stomer to in sert
money or codes. Detailed information for programming, operation and
maintenance of this option can be found in Section
4.6 of this manual.
• Proximity Sensor – This option works with the Speech option to sense when
customer vehicles approach the unit. When it senses a vehicle, the unit plays the
customer greeting.
• VIP Wash Pass Cards – With this option you can use magnetically encoded
cards for fleet sales. To use this option, your unit must also be equipped a
magnetic card reader. VIP Wash Pass Cards are intended for prepaid fleet sales,
and allow you to program a specific amount of washes or a set dollar amount for
each account. If the account uses or dollar value becomes low, more washes can
easily be added.
• VIP Wash Coupons –VIP Wash Coupons can be used as a great advertising
tool. There are six different VIP Wash Coupons available, and you can have up to
three concurrently valid at any one time. VIP Wash Coupons are printed in
magnetic ink to inhibit fraud. Each coupon can be customized with your site name
and location on the back in red ink. These coupons can be used to offe r discounts
or even free washes to your customers. Programming information can be found in
Section
2.12 of this manual.
• Card Reader – This option is required to enable the acceptance of VIP Wash
Pass cards and Pass cards with the Enhanced Fleet option, and also to accept
credit cards with the Credit option.
• Thermal Receipt Printer – This option provides the ability to print reports, cash
and credit receipts, and customer over payment vouchers. The Thermal Receipt Printer” option is a 27 character high-speed thermal printer. The Wash Select II
can detect printer problems and alert the operator via the warning relay output, a
page, alarm status on the configuration report, or upon login for remote reporting.
• Remote Reporting – With WashPay integration, remote reporting is available via
the Internet.
• GiveX – This option allows the Wash Select II to accept the proprietary GiveX gift
card across multiple car wash sites using a dialup network. The Credit option is
also required to accept GiveX cards.
• Multi-Unit Fleet – The Wash Select II multi-unit fleet upgrade feature enables the
sharing of fleet accounts generated at a Master unit for use at any bay in your
system, including the Master. This option does not require, and is not compatible
with the POS4000 option.
• POS4000 – This separate unit produced by Unitec provides the ability to sell and
share codes from a C-Store.
• External Fleet – This option allows the use of third-party cashless card systems,
such as eWash, ExpressKey, and WashCard.
• Security Alarm – This option adds an alarm to the WSII that monitors the door
for unauthorized entry, and a shock sensor for detecting attempted vandalizism.
When triggered, a siren will sound from 1-60 minutes (to configure, see Section
2.9.1), a message will display and print on the POS4000 controller in the store (if
equipped),and a page will be sent (if configured for p aging).
• Barrier Gate – With the purchase of this option, the Wash Select II can be
integrated with a gated system to control the flow of cars into either attended or
unattended tunnel washes. Sites with multiple lanes will require the installation of
the gate controller as well. For more information, see the Unitec Gate Controller for Multi-Lane Applications Install Guide.
The Wash Select II configuration menus provide the ability to customize your unit to interface
with your site-specific options, wash equipment, and marketing plans. The following sections
provide configuration procedures for each of the available menu functions.

2.5 Wash Interface Menu
Most car wash manufacturers support the Wash Select II default settings. However, if
anything must be changed in order to interface with your car wash, it may be done within the
Wash Interface menu.
2.5.1 Enable Relay Stacking
Relay stacking is the ability for the Wash Select II to hold all arming signals while the wash is
in use. Most car wash systems will work with (or prefer to work with) Relay Stacking enabled.
Some systems that have bay entry signs require the Relay Stacking to be disabled.
ENABLED – No arming signals will be sent to the was h if the wash is “In Use” (See Wash
Handshaking). If a purchase is “In Use” and another wash is purchased, the Wash Select II
will hold the new wash until the previous wash ha s completed its cycle.
www.startwithunitec.com.
DISABLED – The Wash Select II will send any wash arming signal immediately, even if there
is a wash in progress.
To configure “Relay Stacking”, follow the steps below.
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. (This should be the first option displayed.)
3. Scroll through this menu until the “Relay Stacking” option is displayed, and then
press the (*) key to enter.
4. Press the (1) key for “YES” (enabled) or the (3) key for “NO” (disabled).
Default setting = Yes/Enabled
2.5.2 Enable Relay Latching
“Relay Latching” describes the type of relay output for the wash arming signals. Most car
washes prefer the signals to be set as “Pulsed/No”.
Yes/Latched – Relays are turned on when the arming signal is sent to the car wash. These
relays stay on until the customer purchases an upgrade (provided upgrades are enabled) or
the wash becomes “In Use”.
No/Pulsed – Relays are turned on for a two second pulse when the arming signal is sent to
the car wash. These relays will not be re-activated unless an upgrade is purchased (provided
upgrades are enabled).
Use the steps below to assist you when enabling this feature.
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Wash Interface (*) Relay Latch ing (*)

Default Setting = No/Pulsed
2.5.3 Configure the Wash Relay Pattern
The “Wash Relay” pattern allows you to decide which relays will be turned on for each wash
package. The industry standard is that one relay should be turned on for each wash package.
The Wash Select II provides eight wash relays, which allows the relay pattern to be reconfigured if you wish to change a wash to another output relay. This is helpful if a relay were
to fail. Switching the wash to another output relay avoids having to replace parts. The wash
relays may be used in any combination for each wash.
The following steps will help you set the wash relay pattern.
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Wash Interface (*) Relay Pattern (*)
2. Enter the wash number of the relay pattern you would like to program, and then

2.5.4 Enable Automatic Out-Of-Service Detection
If the car wash goes down, the Wash Select II can be informed to let customers know that the
wash is down. The Wash Select II supports the detection of an Out-of-Service condition on
the Wash-in-Use input. This method is supported by many, but not a ll, car wash systems.
If the Automatic Out-Of-Service detection is enabled, and the car wash goes down, the
wash’s Wash-in-Use signal should do the following:
• Turn off for at least one second.
• Turn on for one second. (+/- 1/8 second tolerance)
• Turn off for one second. (+/- 1/8 second tolerance)
• Turn on for the duration of the out-of-service condition.
• Turn off when the car wash is back in service.
If the Wash Select II goes Out of Service while it contains credit in escrow, a voucher will
be printed for the customer.
To enable the “Automatic Out-Of-Service detection, follow the steps below.
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Wash Interface (*) Aut o OOS Detect (*)
2. Press the (1) key for “YES” or the (3) key for “NO”.

2.5.5 Wash Handshaking
The Wash Select II supports two types of “Wash-In-Use” hand shaking.
• Wash-In-Use: The car wash activates the wash-in-use signal for the entire time
the car wash is in use. (Voltage present)
• Cycle complete: The “Wash-In-Use” is normally on (voltage present). When it is
given a “wash is completed” signal (no voltage present), the car wash will
deactivate the “Wash-In-Use” signal for about two seconds and it will be
reactivated. When using the “Cycle Complete” mode, “Upgrades” will be disabled
and “Forced Selection” will be enabled. If your car wash supports the “Wash-InUse” method, you should not use the “Cycle Complete”.
The Wash Select II supports a 24V – 120V AC or DC “Wash-In-Use signal. No internal
changes need be made for eithe r voltage.

2.5.6 Wash Fault
If your car wash manufacturer does not support the Wash-in-Use signal, you can use the
wash fault input to let the Wash Select II know when a downtime occurs. When enabled, you
may set this feature to detect either an on or off fault signal. Enabling the “Fault Input” signal
allows the wash to send a signal to the coin box if it is malfunctioning or not in service,
causing the coin box to go out-of-service. Once the coin box has gone out of service, it will
display the standard Out of Service message.
If the Wash Select II goes Out of Service while it contains credit in escrow, a voucher will be
printed for the customer.
To enable this feature, follow the steps below.
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Wash Interface (*) W ash Fault (*)
2. Press the (1) button for “YES” or the (3) button for “ NO”.
3. The following prompt comes up. You must select whether the Wash Select II should
fault when a high (on) signal is detected or a low (off) signal. "On " is the default.
i. 1=FAULT WHEN ON
ii. 3=FAULT WHEN OFF
4. Next you are prompted to enter how long (in seconds) the Wash Select II should
delay after it sees the signal before it goes out of service. It can be anywhere from 1
to 300 seconds, inclusive.
Default: 10 seconds
2.5.7 OOS Timer
If your car wash is using “Cycle Complete” handshaking, a feature of the Wash Select II is
that it can go out of service if the wash-in-use signal remains off for too long. “Too long” is
defined by the OOS timer, which has a default of 60 seconds. Your wash may require a
different amount of time. If so, follow the steps below to co nfigure.
This feature may require hardware changes. If after it has been enabled, you find it
does not work, refer to the Wash Select II Installations Manual for wiring instructions.
between 1 – 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Note:
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Wash Interface (*) O OS Timer (*)
2. You will be prompted to enter the Delay before OOS. This may be set anywhere
Default: 60 seconds
2.5.8 Tunnel Wash Settings
The WSII can be installed at tunnel washes with or without barrier gates and with or without
live attendants. Each detail of your wash can be set using the Tunnel Mode, Barrier Gate,
and Receipt Bar Code configurations in the Wash Interface menu.
2.5.8.1 Tunnel Mode
When the Tunnel Mode is set to “Attended,” each customer will receive a receipt to give to
the attendant, who will then arm the appropriate wash. When the Tunnel Mode is set to
“Unattended,” customers will not automatically receive a receipt.
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Wash Interface (*) Tu nnel Mode (*)
2. Press the (1) button for “Unattended Tunnel Mode” or the (2) button for “Attended
Tunnel Mode” or (0) button to disable tunnel mode (rollover washes only), and
then press the (*) key.
2.5.8.2 Barrier Gate
You must have a Barrier Gate Interface Box in order to use the Barrier Gat e feature.
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Wash Interface (*) Ba rrier Gate (*)
2. Press the (3) button to disable the Barrier Gate option, or the (1) button to enable
the option.
2.5.9 Combo Mode
Combo mode is used when your car wash is equipped to wash vehicles using both the
“friction” and “touchfree” methods (the names are configurable; see the next section), and
you want to give your customers the ability to select between the two depending on the wash
bought. For instance, the purchase of your most expensive wash type treats customers to
both wash methods (i.e. a combo), while the lesser wash types give a choice between f riction
and touch free. A selectable wash works by sending a different relay pattern to the wash
depending on the wash method selected. Follow the steps below to set the combo mode
option for each wash type. After setting the combo mode, you will want to also check and
perhaps reconfigure the relay patterns for each wash. See the Combo Mode Addendum
(Unitec Document WS21020) for further information.
