WASH SELECT II
1 Site Planning
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.
It is important to consider a few points prior to the actua l installa tion of the Wash Select II unit.
Among these considerations are the correct running of electrical conduit, and the proper
positioning of all of the carwash machines. In this section, these issues will be discussed in
detail. When proper planning is implemented, the Wash Select II installation will go smoothly,
and the unit will operate reliably.
1.1 Electrical Planning
1.1.1 Site Grounding Considerations:
Make sure that the protective earth ground wire does not carry any motor return current. Only
the neutral wire should carry return current.
1.1.2 Electrical Requirements of the Wash Select II
The Wash Select II will need to have 115-120 VAC on a 5-Amp dedicated breaker, which
should be provided during wash construction. Most installers will have power supplied directly
from one of the three phases used to power the wash motors and controllers. If this met hod is
used, special attention should be given to proper earth grounding at the unit, as well as in the
breaker panel.
Generally, most car wash manufacturers use a five-wire system to provide the arming signals
for the selected wash packages. This means that one common line and four arming input
wires are fed from the car wash’s Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to the Wash Se lect II
unit. In addition to these five, a Wash-In-Use Hot and Wash-In-Use Neutral are required to
reset the wash electroni cs. Typically, these are also provided by the PLC. It is important to
consider this fact when planning the conduit runs, because there will need to be 2 separate
runs from the wash to the Wash Select II—one for AC power, and one for PLC Control Wires
& Optional Phone connection. If you are connecting to a POS4000 then you should have an
additional conduit run to the POS4000 (C-store), unless you hav e the RF option.
Another important point to remember is that the Wash Select II is equipped to accept credit
cards, so a separate run may be required from the nearest phone jack to the main conduit
run. There is no guarantee that a credit upgrade will not be performed, so the installer should
think ahead and make provisions. If there is an undedicated phone line nearby, then every
attempt should be made to try to route the conduit so that access is easily gained to it. For
example, a junction box can be placed in the run at that particular point.
If an undedicated telephone line is not nearby, try to route the conduit so that one is
accessible at a later date. An important rule to remember is that the telephone cable should

Document Title: Wash Select II POS Installation Manual
WASH SELECT II
not be run in the same conduit as the main power lines. Telephone, as well as intercom
connections, can be run in the POS4000 connection conduit (Wash Select II POS system) if
you are connecting to a POS4000 in a C-store.
Figure 1. Conduits with Modem Line Layout
Document Number: WS21001 2
Document Title: Wash Select II POS Installation Manual
WASH SELECT II
For Internet credit clearing, Kwik Trip, or WashPay integration, Ethernet cable will be needed.
This cable should be standard CAT 5 or CAT 6. This cable can be p ulled thr ough the existing
POS4000 communications conduit run from the C-Store to the Wash Select II. The cable
CANNOT be longer than 295 feet. The cable should extend at least 2 feet into the WSII and
be run into the back office of the store/office to the fr ame switch or router.
Figure 2. Conduits with Ethernet Cable Layout
DO NOT RUN CABLE OUTSIDE OF A CONDUIT!
Important:
Follow all local and National Electric Codes.
Finally, it should be understood that the Wash Select II unit is to be powered by wires of at
least 16 AWG, or larger. Failure to adhere to this recommendation could result in a fire or
injury. When installing the conduit, it is suggested that it be a minimum of ¾” in size, and be
made of metal versus PVC.

WASH SELECT II
1.2 Mechanical Planning
1.2.1 Position of the Unit
The proper positioning of the Wash Select II unit is very important. Figure 2 of this section
should be used as a reference for good layout practices. There are several layout
considerations that follow, which may be a good idea to think about. They are meant for
suggestion only, and are not permission to circumvent wash manufa cturer guidelin es.
The Wash Select II unit should be placed 10-14 feet from the car wash entrance to ensure
the proper timing and flow of customers. The wash’s treadle switch should be centered along
the horizontal plane, approximately 18” inches out from the front of the Wash Select II unit.
Note that the Wash Select II unit extends 6” out from the leading edge of the optional straight
base and even more for an angled base (refer to angled base dimensions). This will ensure
that the car/truck’s wheel is aligned with the treadle switch, as shown in Figure 2. Finally, a
concrete post can be positioned just to the front and left corner of the unit, to act as a
protective buffer. A typical size for this post is between 30 and 35 inches.
1.2.2 Mechanical Requirements
It is strongly recommended that the unit be surrounded with a brick or concrete housing for
maximum security. However, since this may not be realistic in some installations, mounting it
on a concrete slab will suffice.
This manual assumes that the optional base will be installed simultaneously with the unit. In
this case, the concrete should be a minimum of 5” inches thick, 21” inches wide, and 13”
inches long (Refer to Figure 2). The dimensions and positioning of the mounting holes for the
base will be covered in the “Mechanical Installation” se ction of this manu al.
The front edge of the standard base should be 18 inche s from the driver’s side tire centerline.
(For angled bases, this distance should be 38.5 inches.) This provides the appropriate
distance for customers to comfortably reach the unit o make their select ions.

1.3 Miscellaneous Planning
1.3.1 Precautionary Considerations
A large percentage of sites contain “Floor Heat”. Floor heat is an under-concrete heat
exchanger system, consisting of an elaborate network of plumbing, through which anti-freeze
circulates. In many cases this plumbing can run beside, under, or over conduit. Before
marking and drilling into any area, the site floor heat diagrams should be reviewed, and the
appropriate action taken to prevent any damage.
1.3.2 Unpacking & Checking Parts
Note:
Open each of the shipping boxes and ensure the following items are present:

2 T ools R equired for Installa tion
2.1 Mechanical Installation Tools
It is highly recommended that the Wash Select II be bricked in! All attempts should be made
to achieve that end. It is ultimately the responsibility of individual distributors to make this
decision, and if the decision is made that it will not be po ssible, Unitec offers an optional base
at an affordable price. The following tools are recommended for the typical mechanical
installation of this Wash Select II unit and optional base:
6” inch or longer ratchet extension (for optional straight base)
¾” inch deep well socket and socket wrench
Open end 9/16” inch wrench
Small, thin blade, flat-tip screwdriver
Hammer drill
½” Concrete hammer drill bit
Hammer
Dual-plane Level
50’ foot tape measure
2.2 Electrical Installation Tools
In addition to the mechanical assembling of the Wash Select II unit to the base (and th e entire
package to the concrete), there will be a number of electrical connections, which must be
made. These connections will require the use of the following common elect rical tools:
Small, thin tipped, straight screwdriver (1/8” tip, for green Phoenix connectors)
Wire strippers (capable of handling 10-22 AWG wire)
Cable or wire tie wraps
Diagonal cutters
Needle nose pliers
Telephone wire crimping tool and 4-pin, RJ11 / 14 modular plugs (for modem, if
present) Radio Shack Part # 279-384

3 Mechanical Installation
Unitec recommends the bricking in of the WSII when installed on property that is not
manned or is not in plain sight of station or busin ess personnel.
Unitec also recommends the connection of the WSII to a monitored security system in
these situations or any situation where vandalism or t heft may occu r.
The use of the included door sensor and a custo mer supplied shock se nsor mounted
on the door is recommended as wel l.
Note:
3.1 Bricking in the Wash Select II
For optimum security the Wash Select II unit should be mounted on a concrete slab and
bricked in.
Tips on Bricking in:
Conduit openings are at the right side of the bottom of the case.
Bolt holes are at the bottom of the case to secure to the concrete slab.
The concrete slab should be built so that the bottom of the Wash Select II case is
32.5” from the floor.
Outer dimensions of the Wash Select II are:

band along front
edge
Not including reinforcing
band around front edge
Tall 23.62” 23.24”
Wide 18.11” 17.74”
Deep 19.26” 19.25”
The following drawing shows such an installation:

run from the conduit to the bottom of the Wash Select II main cabinet. Flexible conduit
can be used to perform this function. The connectors ca n be attached to the metal
conduit by way of PVC cement.
3.2 Installation of the Optional Base
This document outlines the installation of the optional base.
3.2.1 Preliminary Consideration
The Wash Select II base comes in two distinct styles, straight and angled. The following
procedures are applicable to the straight base only. Refer to the documentation you received
with the angled base (MN1001 Angled Base Addendum) for installation procedures for the
angled base.

1.
Mark the 4 holes that you intend to drill in order to mount the Wash Select II
optional base. Mark the holes with a marker as the base is sitting on top of the
concrete. It is important to keep in mind that the conduit run will need to protrude
through the large opening in the lower right corner, at least 3 inches.
Warning:
Document Number: WS21001 11
Document Title: Wash Select II POS Installation Manual
DO NOT BEGIN MOUNTING OF THE BASE UNTIL ALL WIRES & CABLES HAVE
BEEN PULLED THROUGH THE CONDUIT!
2. Remove the base from the marked location and proceed to drill the holes, using
WASH SELECT II
the hammer drill, and the ½” inch concrete drill bit. Ensure that the holes are
drilled deep enough to insert the anchor bolts. A good depth is approximately 2”2½” inches from the surface of the concrete.
3. It should be noted that while the anchor bolts are rugged and durable, they could
become damaged if struck recklessly. Care should be given to strike only the top
of the anchors, where the force will be distributed by the provided area on top of
the anchor bolt. Use the hammer to drive each of the provided anchors into the
drilled concrete holes.
Figure 7. Setting Anchor Bolts
4.
When all anchor bolts have been set, place one nut onto each of them, and use
the ratchet and socket to tighten it, until as many of the threads from the bolts as
possible are showing. This first set of nuts will be used later for the correct
leveling of the base. You may remove the nuts if you have the appropriate shims
and wish to use those instead.
5. Slide the base down over top of the conduit, while feeding the wire runs up
through the conduit holes and out the top of the base. It is very important to allow
at least 66” inches of wire to remain draped over the top of the base, so that there
is enough left to make all of the electrical connections. It is also recommended
that 3” or more of conduit protrude into the base. This is to ens ure that standing
water will not accumulate in the conduit. There should also be sufficient threads
on the anchor bolts left to secure the base in place with the remaining 4 nuts. If
this is not the case, the holes in the concrete were drilled too deep, and the
installer should use smaller, or no leveling nuts.
6. Place the level on top of the base, and adjust the leveling bolts with the open-
ended wrench (or add the appropriate number of shims). When it is level across
the short and long sides, hand tighten the remaining 4 nuts onto t he bolts.
7. Once the base has been verified in its final position at least once, and all of the
above requirements have been met, it is safe to securely fasten the 4 nuts with
the socket wrench. When this has been successfully completed, there should be
no movement in the base whatsoever.
3.2.2 Installation of the Wash Select II Unit
1. Once the base is properly leveled and secured, ensure that there is sufficient
length of wire draped out the top to make the final electrical connections. If not,
new cable should be pulled prior to this step. If there is sufficient length, proceed
to feed them under and through the bottom of the Wash Select II main cabinet.
They should fit easily into the conduit holes, which are pre-cut into the bottom,
right-hand corner of the unit.

2. Set the unit onto the base, and align the four base holes to the pre-cut holes in

the Wash Select II. Use the remaining 4 bolts (with washers on) to secure the top

four corners in the bottom of the main cabinet, and then tightening with the 9/16 “
wrench.
will need to acquire the 2 spade terminal connectors, termination block, sticky
wire fasteners, and appropriate lengths of 22 AWG insulat ed wire.
Note:
When wiring the switch, it is important to ensure that the terminal block is mounted to an
easily accessed, un-used, portion of the Wash Select II case. It should also be in close
proximity to the naturally occurring cable runs inside of the unit. This is don e in o rder to easily
run security system wires to one common termination point, while still keeping a relatively
neat appearance. A good recommended routing method would be to secure the wires from
the terminals of the switch along the inside, top, left side of the Wash Select II case, and have
it continue down to the bottom, just underneath the bill stacker .
The terminal block can be mounted there, and then any wires that will be brought in from the
outside system can be pulled through the same wire shielding that connects the bill validator
to the main circuit board. This same shielding can be purchased and used to wrap the switch
wires.
The alarm device connected to the switch must be a Class-2 device.
