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.

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.

2. Use the diagram of alternate keypad functions in Figure 2 to assist you in
programming the name of your friction wash method.
3. Again using Figure 2, program the name of your touchfree wash method.
2.5.11 Optioning
The Optioning feature allows you to add options to a wash package. It appears after a wash
selection is made during the normal purchase process. If enabled, any time a wash package
is selected, an option screen will display. Wash upgrades ar e not permitted when Option ing is
enabled. No wash is armed on code entry until after an option selection is made or declined
and payment is added.
The Optioning feature is highly configurable and a separate menu is provided with all the
associated commands. This menu is located under the existing Wash Interface menu. In
addition, a new command under the Credit Menu called “Split Tender” (See Section 2.3.19)

2.5.12 Remote Code POS4000 Support
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. In cases where it is not feasible to wire the
POS4000 and WSII to each other, the Remote Code option may be used. This option allows
an encrypted wash code to be sold from the POS4000, then, once this code is entered into
the WSII, it is decrypted and the wash is fired.
For Remote Code functions, make sure washes and options programmed in the WashPay
server are same as ones programmed in the POS4000 or the code will be declined. For
example, a code sold with an option will not be accepted in a WSII with optioning disabled.
Also verify the date settings on the WSII and the POS4000 involved to make sure they are
accurate because the Remote Code function depends on them.
2.5.12.1 Enable and Setup Remote Code
Before starting using remote code, make sure these requirements are met: on the WSII:
• Expansion memory installed
• POS LINK is not set to POS4000 Link
To enable the Remote Code function in the WSII:
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Wash Interface (*) Re mote Code (*)
2. “Use Remote Code?” will be displayed. Press (1) for yes and (3) for no. Press (*)
to enter.
Once enabled, go to Parameter Setup and enter the following information:
• IDs of POS Where Codes Sold: enter the ID of the POS4000(s) where the code is sold.
Up to 4 POS4000 IDs are supported. Default = 1
• Code Expiration: number of days a code is good after purchase from1 to 60 days.
Default=14
• Daily Code limit: maximum number of codes can be issued per day from 10 to190.
Default = 100
• Security Code: used to decrypt the wash code and is up to 7 digits. Using default value
or simple numbers like “1234567” or “3333333” is discouraged.
Note: After completing the items, the settings are printed out. Keep printout as the same
settings are entered into the POS4000(s).
Remote codes are accepted in multi-WSII with POS link. When a code is entered at a
secondary unit, it will be checked with the POS4000 first then the remote code, while at the
Primary it will be checked for remote code first.
2.5.12.2 Remote Code Utilities
To access the Remote Code utilities, go to the Wash In terface menu.
• Print Used Codes: Get a printout of the redemption of the codes sold on a
particular day. Enter the date when the code issue date in the MMDD format
(leading 0 required), then press ‘*’. Codes redeemed in any secondary units
connected are included too.
• Clear Used Codes: To clear the code redemption history.
2.5.12.3 Changes to Code Entry on Wash Select II
When Remote Code is enabled, these features apply to all codes entered in the WSII
keypad:
• DO NOT use 6 or 7 digit codes for fleet accounts when using Remote Code. The
Code Length may conflict with codes sold at the Remote Code POS4000.
• Zeros in code no longer serve as the Enter key, it can appear in any position for
any code.
• Fleet Account codes which have 5 digits or less will require the code to end in 0 in
order for the code to be accepted.
• For codes longer than 5 digits, a 3 second pause will cause the code to be
entered automatically.
2.6 Customer Interface Menu
The “Customer Interface Menu” contains functions that affect the operation of the coin box
with the customer.
This feature allows you to enable or disable the ability for the Wash Select II to interact with a
customer in front of it while the wash is in use.
ENABLED – When this feature is enabled, it allows the Wash Select II to interact with a
customer at the coin box while another customer is using the wash. The Wash Select II will
greet the customer, allow the purchase of a wash and if the previous customer has not
completed their wash, they will be instructed to please wait unt il the wash is no longer in u se.
DISABLED – The Wash Select II will not allow any interaction at the coin box while the wash
is in use.
The steps below will help you to enable this feature.

2.6.2 Forced Selection
The “Forced Selection” feature will force a wash selection by the customer for all cash and
token purchases. This setting will not affect Cr edit or Flee t transaction.
Note:
ENABLED – With this feature enabled, the customer must make a wash selection before a
wash is activated. If a customer adds cash or tokens wit hout se lecting, the W ash Select II will
instruct them to make a selection. At this point, all wash displays for which the customer has
deposited enough money/tokens to purchase will begin to flash and the current credited
amount will be displayed.
DISABLED – If this feature is disabled, once a customer deposits enough cash/token s to pay
for the least expensive wash that wash will be armed. For example: A customer adds $1 bills
one at a time until there is a credit of $4, the $4 wash would automatically be armed.
However, if the customer adds enough cash/tokens to pay for a more expensive wash, that
wash will be armed. The customer cannot make another selection or receive change.
Follow the steps below to enable “Forced Selection”.
1. Place the WSII in Setup mode. Scroll to: Cust. Interface (*) Forc ed Selection (*)
2. Press the (1) button for “YES” (Enabled) or the (3) button for “NO” (Disabled) .

2.6.4 Enabling and Setting Automatic Selection Timer
This setting is disabled by default, but if enabled it will allow the Wash Select II to make a
wash selection if the customer has not done so within a specified time. This helps
compensate for a customer that deposits cash, but drives into the wash without making a
wash selection. For example: The auto select timer has been set to 30 seconds. Your wash
prices are set at $4, $5, $6 and $7. The customer deposits a $5 bill, and then drives into the
wash without making a wash selection. After 30 seconds, the Wash Select II will
automatically arm the $5 wash.
Here are the steps to enable this feature.

2.11.1 Using PassCodes/Cards
Using PassCode/cards to help manage fleet accounts is a powerful and time saving feature . If
you want to quickly manage fleet accounts or you wish to offer promotional fleet accounts,
you can program a PassCode or PassCard to help you manage it. But using PassCard and
PassCodes for Fleet accounts are not their only use. Here ar e some ideas:
PROMOTIONAL VIP WASH PASS™ ACCOUNTS PROGRAMMED ON THE
SPOT.
Set up a Fleet profile for the promotion that you wish to make, such as six of your best
washes for the price of five (good stocking stuffer for Xmas). Then set up a PassCard for the
“Add per Profile” function. Then keep a stack of un-programmed VIP Wash Pass ™ cards with
the “Add per profile” PassCard on the top. When you are ready to sell the promotion, swipe
the PassCard at the Wash Select II and, then, swipe the un-programmed card. The VIP card
is now activated. If you have a receipt printer, the account information will be printed for the
customer.
QUICK PROGRAMMING OF VIP WASH PASS™ FLEET ACCOUNTS
Set up a PassCard for the “Add Account” function. Then keep a stack of un-programmed VI P
Wash Pass™ cards with the “Add Account” PassCard on the top. When you are ready to sell
the account swipe the PassCard at the Wash Select II and then configure the new account
swiping the un-programmed card during the process. If you have a receipt printer, the
account information will be printed for the customer.
QUICK ACCOUNTING PRINT OUT OR VIEWING
You can use one of the four accounting report functions to allow yourself or an
attendant/trustee to print/view an accounting report every time the money is removed from
the Wash Select II. This way you do not have to teach the attendant/trustee how to operate
the unit. This is useful also if you want to have a trustee remove cash from the unit and print a
report while you are on vacation.
REFUND CREDIT
You can give your attendant/trustee a PassCard that allows them to refund a credit
transaction. Remember, for financial security, you cannot refund a transaction unless the
customer has actually purchased a wash on their credit card. The actual sale of the card and
the return credit will be logged in the credit transact ion history for futur e reference.
2.11.2 Add Code/Card
This function allows you to add a new code or card. All code numbers must end with a zero. If

VIP Wash Coupons are a form of paper token for use in marketing your wash. You may
distribute them just like tokens. Like cash, they are used by inserting them into the bill
validator. VIP Wash Coupons must be purchased according to the manufacturer of your bill
validator. You cannot use one manufacturer’s coupons on another manufacturer’s bill
validator.
2.12.1 CoinCo Bill Validator
Six different types of VIP Wash Coupons (A-F) are available for into the Wash Select II with
the CoinCo bill validator, but only three can be programmed at one time. Change will not be
given when a coupon is used. A customer using a VIP Wash Coupon may cancel the
transaction only if no other form of tender has been entered, but even then, the entered
coupon will be lost.
Each bill validator is programmed to accept VIP Wash Coupons styles A, B, and C by default
before it leaves Unitec. Coupon styles D, E, and F can be custom programmed for new units
by Unitec prior to shipping, or they can be programmed after installation by purchasing a
coupon programmer. If the bill validator will not accept VIP Wash Coupons, it must be
reprogrammed to recognize the coupons.
The value of each coupon must be programmed in the WashPay server. If a coupon has not
been programmed into the WashPay server, the bill validator will reject the coupon.
You can program the coupon value to be either a discount (e.g. the coupon gives the
programmed discount to selected washes) or to be worth an entire wash (e.g. the coupon
automatically credits the programmed wash).
For information on how to program coupons into the WashPay server. For further
instructions, please see the Sierra Management Application Programming Manual at
www.startwithunitec.com .
2.12.2 Mars (MEI) Bill Validator
Up to 10 different types of VIP Wash Coupons may be programmed into the Wash Select II
with the Mars (MEI) bill validator. Unitec sells 6 different styles of coupons, for your
convenience. Change will not be given when a coupon is used. A customer using a VIP
Wash Coupon may cancel the transaction only if no other form of tender has been entered,
but even then, the entered coupon will be lost.
The value of each coupon must be programmed in the WashPay server. If a coupon has not
been enabled in the WashPay server, the bill validator will not accept the coupon.
You can program the coupon value to be either a discount (e.g. the coupon gives the
programmed discount to selected washes) or to be worth an entire wash (e.g. the coupon
automatically credits the programmed wash).
This feature allows you to configure the Wash Select II to accept and credit predetermined
washes or dollar amounts, or to reject specific coupons entered into the bill validator. Each
coupon will be labeled M1-M6 and has a specific ID Code that must be programmed into the
Wash Select. The Serial Number is printed on each of the coupons, but you must refer to the
following table for the respective ID Codes.
The POS4000 Link menu allows the Wash Select II to be configured to interface with a
POS4000. In addition, it provides the activation of the Multi-Unit Fleet opt ion.
Once the Wash Select II is properly configured, codes can be sold at one or more POS4000
units to be used at the Wash Select II. Configuring of these settings is also necessary for
units that are equipped for authorization through the POS network. In this case, set the
interface mode to ‘1’. If you have multiple Wash Select II units, you will also need to set the
bay address for each Wash Select II.
The following instructions show how to set up the Wash Select II unit to interface to the
POS4000.
1. If not already installed, with the power disconnected, install the Wash Select II
communications module onto the top left hand corner of the CPU board. The
board is installed with LED’s on the b ottom.
2. Restore power to the Wash Select II and place the unit in setup mode. If you have
more than one bay, set the units up one at a time, with all un-configured units
turned off.
3. Wire the POS4000 cable connections as per the following connections:

2. Remove the sample coin currently in the sample holder from the side of the
retainer slot.
3. Slide the retainer toward the sensing coil until it is firmly seated. (The sample
must be centered in the sensing coil and seated in the “V” groove to function
properly.)
4. Once the retainer is back in place, tighten the screw or nut .
4.4.2 Adjusting the Selectivity to the Coins
There should be no reason to change the selectivity of your new unit since it was shipped
from the factory with a tested, pre-set coin already installed. However, if you find it necessary
to replace the coin samples with a different type of coin, the selectivity of the unit must be
readjusted. Before this can be done, a standard acceptance test should be performed. The
test is performed by dropping several valid coins into the Slug-Buster II, including common
slugs, and verifying that the proper coins are credited and that the slugs are rejected. If the
acceptor does not recognize all of the coins, or does not reject the invalid coins, the following
procedure should be implemented.
The coin acceptor must be powered to make a valid adjustment to the sensitivity. You

1.125” in diameter.
The current configuration of the Wash Select II only allows one coin to be dispensed at a
time. Therefore, if you would like to dispense the dollar coin, it will be necessary to make
changes to the coin hopper.
4.5.1 Programming the IDX Acceptor
Note:
The unit comes equipped to accept both U.S. quarters and dollar coins, and will dispense
quarters by default. The unit will also accept site-specific tokens. This section will guide you
through the programming of each of the site-specific coins that will be accepted and give
details on erasing this program, if a programming error ever oc curs.
In order to complete the programming you must have six of each of the tokens and coins you
wish to accept. It is very important that you follow these directions exactly. The IDX acceptor
will average the variances in these different sample coins during programming, and calculate
a more accurate reference model. Using less than six different coins will invalidate the
average variance generated by this process.
Please refer to the block diagrams shown in
acceptor.
When inserting coins into the IDX, you must be sure to close the cover completely.
You must answer the following questions before proceeding with the programming of the IDX
coin acceptor.
• Do you want to accept tokens?
• How many different tokens will your site have?
• How much will each token be worth?
• Can the Wash Select II programmed token-value be divided evenly into each of
these values? (This helps to determine the number of pulses the IDX will need to
output for each token.)
• Will the Wash Select II dispense quarters or dollar coins?
• How many tokens will be allowed per customer per purchase?
In order to program the IDX to dispense the dollar coin, several physical changes must be
made to the IDX acceptor and wire harness. These changes can be made using the table
below to help you determine which rotary-switch position corresponds to a particular coin
output. The dispensed/diverted coin must always be assigned to output number six, requiring
pins four and five to be switched at the green Phoenix-connector at the end of the IDX wireharness to dispense the dollar coin.
Table 11. IDX Program Configuration
Coins—Quarter Coins—Dollars IDX Rotary Switch Number of Output
Once the configuration has been decided, the number for the switch positions, pulses, and
wire-harness pin-outs will need to be substituted for the given numbers in the instructions in
Section
4.5.2 below. The number of pulses is programmed by depressing the push-button
the desired number of times prior to insertion o f the sample /programming co ins (see
above).
4.5.2 Programming the IDX to Accept Site-Specific Tokens
When programming site-specific tokens, it is important that you take into consideration the
following items:
• Tokens with a diameter of .984” are commonly used at nationwide arcade/pizza
stores. The IDX coin acceptor will accept these tokens if your site-specif ic token is
the same size.
• Compare your token size with any local arcade tokens prior to programming the
IDX coin acceptor to accept your site token.
Before you begin programming, be sure that you have six of each token you plan to program.
You are responsible for supplying your own bi-metal tokens. Tokens are not availab le through
Unitec.
The IDX acceptor can be programmed to accept four different tokens. Each token will need to
be sampled and assigned a number of pulses. This means that each token will need to be
worth some multiple of the Wash Select II programmed token value (from the cash & tokens
menu); the programmed token value is internally multiplied by the number of pulses sent by
the IDX.
(Example: If you have assigned a token value of $.50 under the “Cash & Tokens” menu, and
you have four different tokens, each token must be worth a multiple of $.50. or as follows
token 1 = $.50, token 2 = $1.00 token 3 = $1.50 and token 4 = $2.00. As you can see each
token in this example represents numbers that can be divided by $.50.) The Wash Select II
does not keep a separate accounting of each different token your site may have; it just keeps
a running total equal to the total dollar value entered. This total will be reflected on the Wash
Select II accounting report.
To program the IDX to accept a single token, follow the instructions below. If more tokens are
required, refer to
Table 11 to get the switch locations for that particular token, and then
depress the push-button the number of times that is equal to the number of pulses to be
output for that token.
1. Locate the rotary-switch and set it to position 1, 2 , 3, or 4.
2. Press the button immediately to the left of the rotary-switch one or more times
depending on the number of pulses you want that token to send.
3. Drop six sample tokens through the coin slot one at a time, and verify that the red
light (LED) blinks several times after the last token has been entered.
4. Reset the rotary-switch to “0”, and then replace the front cover.
Now assume your token value is set for $1.00. To program the IDX acceptor to accept two
different tokens, token number 1 for $1.00 and token number 2 for $2.00, follow the steps
below.
1. Set the rotary-switch to position “1”.
2. Press the button directly to the left one time.
3. Drop six sample tokens into the coin slot one at a time, and verify that the light
(LED) blinks several times after the last token is entered.
4. Now set the rotary-switch to position “2”.
5. Press the button directly to the left of the rota ry-switch twice (for two pu lses or $2).
6. Drop six sample tokens of the second type into the coin slot one at a time, and
verify that the light (LED) blinks several times after the last t oken is enter ed.
7. Return the rotary-switch to the “0” position.
8. Replace the cover.
4.5.3 Programming Token Value
If you choose to keep the token value set to the default value, this Section can be skipped.
The default token values of the Wash Select II are shown in the table below.
The following steps will assist you wh en setting To ken Values.

enter.
3. Scroll through this menu until the “Token Value” option is displayed, and then
press the (*) key to enter.
4. Enter the token value in cents format, and then press the (*) key to enter. (If you
would like to set the token value to $.75 for example, you would enter 75, and
then press the (*) key.)
The token value set will be multiplied by the number of pulses sent by the IDX coin
acceptor.
Note:
The steps below will assist you when setting the Max Tokens per customer value.
1. Using the toggle switch at the top of the CPU board, place the Wash Select II in

press the (*) key to enter.
4. Enter the number of tokens you wish each customer to be allowed to use for a
single purchase, and then press the (*) key to enter.
4.5.4 Programming Dispense Value (for $1 coin dispensing only)
If you want your unit to dispense the dollar coin, the coin-hopper must be modified to
accommodate the larger coin. This is described in Section
of the Wash Select II must also be changed to reflect the value of the dollar coin. The default
value for this function is $.25. To change the dispense value, follow the step s below.
4.5.5, below. The dispense value
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.

press the (*) key to enter.
4. Enter the dispense value in cents form, and then press the (*) key to enter. (If the
dispense value of the coin is $1.00 this must be entered as 100.)
If you want your Wash Select II to dispense quarters, this procedure is NOT necessary.
However, if you wish to dispense the dollar coin, the hopper must be modified and the IDX
acceptor will need to be programmed. This Section will cover the setup of the coin- hopper. To
program the IDX acceptor and the Wash Select II, please refer to Section
manual.
4.5.5.1 Disassembling the Hopper
To disassemble the coin hopper, follow the steps below.
1. Locate the coin hopper on the floor of the Wash Select II case.
2. Remove the coin hopper by grasping it by the handle at the top and lifting up and
toward the front of the Wash Select II case. Be careful not to damage the cable
connector at the back of the hopper.
3. Once the hopper has been removed from the hopper mount, reach behind it and
grasp the cable connector. Gently remove the cable from the back of the hopper
and lift the hopper out of the Wash Select II case.
4. Once you have removed the hopper from the Wash Select II case, you can
remove the two screws that are holding the black, plastic hopper cube. (See
Figure 15, below.)

Follow the steps below to program the IDX to accept quar ters.
1. Remove the front cover by pushing it in and up from the bo ttom right corner of the
main body. (This is located near the phone number.)
2. Locate the rotary-switch and set it to the position labeled number 6. (If you
choose to dispense $1 coins instead of quarters, this will be position 5.)
3. Press the button located immediately to the left of the switch once.
4. Drop six different quarters through the acceptor and verify that the light (LED)
blinks after the last quarter has been entered.
5. Move the rotary switch back to the position labeled ‘0’.
4.5.7 Programming the IDX to Accept $1 Coins
1. Set the rotary-switch to the position labeled number 5. (This will be position 6 if
you wish to dispense $1 coins.)
2. Press the button located immediately to the left of the switch once.
3. Drop six different dollar coins through the acceptor and verify that the light (LED)
blinks after the last coin has been entered.
4. Move the rotary switch back to the position labeled ‘0’.
Note:
The dispensed coin will always be programmed on position 6.
4.5.8 Erasing IDX Programming
If, for some reason, you need to erase programming or if anything should go wrong during
the programming process it can easily be corrected by following these steps.
1. Remove the front cover from the IDX acceptor.
2. Set the rotary switch to the position that corresponds to the coin you wish to re-
program or erase.
3. Depress the button located immediately to the right of the rotary switch only once.
4. Return the rotary switch to zero without passing any coins through the acceptor.
This will erase the program that has been stored for that number.
5. Return the front cover to the IDX.
4.5.9 The Token Bucket
If you have purchased the "Multi-Coin" option, your unit will have a coin diverting mechanism
to guide the coins to their appropriate location. If you are accepting quarters, dollar coins and
tokens, the diverting mechanism will send the coin you have chosen to dispense (quarters or
$1 coins) to the hopper to be recycled. All other coins will be sent to the token bucket. It is
very important that you check you bucket often to ensure it does not overflow .
You can empty the bucket by grasping it firmly at the top and lifting it up and out of the Wash
Select II case. When returned to the case, the bucket locks into an upright position using a
bracket on the floor of the Wash Select II.
4.5.10 Cleaning and General Maintenance
You are strongly advised to check the coin-accepting system for proper operation. It is a good
habit to perform a check each time you remove cash from the box and any other time you
may open the box. Customers have been known to insert invalid coins, debris and bills into
the coin box. This will clog these systems and render them te mporarily out-of-service.
Two other components vital to the proper operation of the unit are the optical sensors of the
coin acceptors. These sensors are used to analyze the coins that are entered. Due to their
importance, the optical sensors should be cleaned period ically.
A cotton swab daubed in isopropyl alcohol is excellent for cleaning. To clean the sensor,
simply use a wet swab to wipe the inner wall area inside the first two inche s of the coin slot.
If the unit malfunctions and a good cleaning does not solve the problem, reprogram the
acceptor as described in Section
4.5.6 and 4.5.7.
The large inclined plane that protrudes from the top-front part of the bucket is used to guide
the coins smoothly into the container. If there is debris or any other substance on it, coins
may become trapped or lodged in mid-travel. This should be cleaned using a clean cloth and
a mild soap and water solution periodically to ensure proper operation .

message will stop repeating once the customer
initiates an action with the unit, such as adding
money, selecting a wash or swiping a credit card.
4.7 Proximity Sensor
With the proximity sensor, the Wash Select II will detect vehicles when they drive up. The
proximity sensor consists of the following components:
1. Transmitter/Receiver pair - attached to the door.
2. Power block - attached to the top of the power supply unit.
4.7.1 Normal Adjusting of Proximity Sensitivity
You may adjust the sensitivity of the proximity sensor by turning the control knob on the front
of the power block. (See
Sensitivity Control
Knob, this is
numbered from 1-10.
Figure 22. Proximity Sensor Power Block
You should test this adjustment with and without a vehicle in front of the unit. The normal
sensitivity setting range is between 6 and 10 on the dial.
4.7.2 Adjusting Sensitivity with the 100% Range Setting
The proximity sensor block is shipped pre-set on the 25% range setting. If you find that this
does not work for you, you may adjust the range setting on the power block. It is suggested
that this adjustment be performed in bright sunlight. Follow the steps below to adjust the
range setting.
1. Remove the power block from the Wash Select II.
2. Set the dial on the power block to the zero setting.
3. Using a small flat-head screwdriver, remove the small plastic cover below the dial
on the power block.
4. Flip dipswitch 1 to the up position.
5. Replace the power block.
6. With no vehicle in front of the unit, turn the dial until the relay light (LED) comes
on. You must always keep the dial below this setting.
7. Next, you must turn the dial toward the lower numbers until the relay light turns off
and then turn the dial one more notch to the left.
It may be necessary to adjust the dial again at a later date if the proximity block "Relay" light
comes on when there is no vehicle present. Too high of a gain setting will give a continuous
false vehicle detection signal.

4.8 Coin Hopper and Assembly
The Wash Select II is equipped with a Suzo Mark II coin dispenser, which is embedded in a
proprietary Unitec design. The dispenser is able to hold/dispense up to 2,400 quarter-sized
coins. It is located inside the Wash Select II case directly behind the wash selection disp lays.
4.8.1 Filling the Hopper
The large opening at the top of the coin hopper has been added to increase the holding
capacity of the dispenser. The inclined plane that spans across the top half of the hopper
assembly is used to distribute the weight of the coins. When pouring coins into the dispenser,
you must direct the coins at this inclined plane to protect the moving parts at the bottom of the
hopper. Follow the instructions below to fill the coin hopper.
1. Open the door to the Wash Select II.
2. Pour the replacement coins into the large opening at the top of the hopper
assembly. Remember to direct the coins toward the inclined plane.
3. When the coin level is close to 600 - 1200 coins, begin to add coins by hand.
Using this method, coins will tend to slide into the dispensing wheel more easily,
which will reduce to possibility of clogs and jams.
Time and experience should be your guide as to when to refill your hopper. Unitec
recommends starting with approximately 900 coins to maintain a good accept/ dispense rati o.
4.8.2 Removing the Hopper from the Wash Select II
To remove your hopper, follow the steps below.
1. Grasp the handle, located across the top of the hopper and pull the hopper up

4.10 Thermal Printer Assembly
The printing operation involves the use of three different components. These component s are
the main CPU, the printer control board, and the print head mechanism. These components
are located in different positions throughout the Wash Select II. The following Sections
contain information and procedures important for peak operat ing performance.
If you look towards the CPU, the section in the upper right hand corner just to the right of the
setup/operate switch deals primarily with the printer. There you will find two push button
switches mounted on the board labeled "Feed" and "Reset". You will find the printer control
board mounted on the inside right wall of the Wash Select II case, just above the CPU board.
The following sections contain information and procedures important for peak operating
performance.
1. Replacing the Printer Paper
2. Clearing a Paper Jam
3. Reset and Feed Buttons
4. Manually Printing a Self-Test
4.10.1 Replacing the Printer Paper
Replace printer paper when you see a red mark running down the side of the receipt or the
unit is reporting Paper low.
1. Insert the new paper roll on the paper carriage at the bottom of the printer. The paper roll
should be oriented such that the end of the paper is at the top of the roll. The paper will
automatically feed into the printer when the power is on.
2. Close the rear door of the printer enclosure.
4.10.2 Clearing a Paper Jam
Follow the steps below to clear a paper jam.
1. Open the printer assembly.
2. Locate the blue locking arms on the sides of the printer assembly, pull them out and
remove the main printer assembly by lifting it up and out.
3. Locate and remove the paper jam.
4. Once the jam has been dislodged, replace the main printer assembly and relock the
blue locking arms.
5. Feed the paper into the slot marked “Paper Insert.”
6. Test the printer.
4.10.3 Reset and Feed Buttons
If the printer ever malfunctions and does not respond to a request to print, you may need to
either reset the control board, or print a self-test. Before these functions can be used, you will
need to know where to find them. The reset and feed buttons are located at the top right hand
side of the CPU board, to the right of the "Setup/operate" switch. The names are written
below each button. When the reset button is pressed, the printer control board and print
mechanism will go through a forced system reset. This will clear up any failures due to
electronic error. If you press the feed button and hold it, the paper feed motor will feed paper
through the side of the Wash Select II door. The paper will stop feeding once you let go of the
button.
4.10.4 Manually Printing a Self Test
If you ever question whether the system is functioning properly, you may have the system
print a self-test page. This report is internally generated and will cycle through each available
character. If the test prints completely and the printing is legible, this is considered a passed
result.
To begin printing a self-test, press both the reset and feed buttons simultaneously for at least
one second. After at least one second, let go of the reset button only, while continuing to hold
down the feed button. The printer will begin to print a complete self -test.
4.10.5 Thermal Printer Control Board
The printer control board is the small circuit board located on the inside right wall of the Wash
Select II case, just above the CPU. It controls data input and output, and communications
traffic between the CPU and the printer head. If this component fails, the system will not
operate. It is important, as with all internal components, that this component be protected
from moisture and shock. If the printer is not working, make sure there is plenty of paper,
make sure the feature is enabled in the software configuration and then run a unit self test. If
the printer still does not operate properly, contact your distr ibutor.
