Hey MEP-
I follow you on the relay for each function for the bay, but why did you need 5 relays per bay? You only need the relay to isolate “shared” functions (solenoid for FB Flojet, contactor for Procon for PS, contactor for pump for SF), correct? The soap and wax for each bay aren’t...
thanks for the info. I think I've got an idea of how to lay it out.
Any particular relay you like?
Other tips or things I should include in the wiring?
Thanks!
Bingo! That is almost exactly like what I have. Unfortunately, mine is even more complex because there used to be an auto in the mix. Boy that sure is a little bit cleaner.
You are using relays as a motor starter for the smaller low pressure motors? Why a relay for each bay? Because it...
That was what I was having trouble wrapping my mind around. :confused: I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to keep it from back feeding to the other bays when someone had it selected in another bay. I was trying to figure out a diode or relay solution and figured that couldn't be...
gee gee-- Is your equipment set up with a display in the bay, but the actual time is controlled in the ER? If so I am actually trying to get away from that, as that is what I have now. I want to use the Dixmor LED 7 timers.
MEP--
Why do you run each bay with it's own transformer?
I...
Does anyone have a typical self serve wiring diagram? I am trying to simplify the controls from the overly complex system I have now.
I have this diagram:

I've got an interesting problem. I have Hydrospray equipment with added on WashCard readers in the bay. The other day all bays will scan the card and start charging it, without turning on the equipment. I have reset the tower with the satellite server and powered down the site controller and...
Well thanks for the replies. The amount had me baffled. Now they will probably stay where they are for the next owner because I can't pitch them either... :D
There isn't some hidden car wash use that I am oblivious of? I've pushed plenty of brooms, but I can't think of a time I needed a spare... or twelve...
Thought I would ask the gurus here, what are these? I was cleaning the other day and found a dozen of these from the previous owner. I know that they look like the end of a broom handle that screws into the head, but thought maybe they had something to do with the wash? I can't imagine why...
I may be the cheapest at $.75 for 5 minutes. In my town there are many gas stations built recently that offer free vacs. I was hesitant to raise prices for fear of driving them to the free vacs. The longer they've been there, I notice the free vacs are getting abused and repair is less...
