    Video cable question

    Getting ready to install a new video system and have a question about PoE cable. The system I'm considering comes with premade 100ft cat5e cables but they are not outdoor/direct burial rated. Do I need direct burial rated cables if they are under a canopy? If needed I could purchase some cat5e...

    How is the Etowah Valley Hamilton RNS conversion kit installed?

    I have an RNS and cannot find the installation instructions on the EV website. Does the kit use the same hole as the hamilton validator? is the kit an up or down stack validator? Is any cutting of the faceplate required? If somebody could post an installation pdf or pics it would be great.

    Self serve vacuum footcandle (lumens) recommendation.

    Looking to mount a light pole next to each vacuum island. Trying to get an idea of what is considered sufficient light in terms of foot-candles. I don't think the lighting standards for parking areas may be adequate for customers vacuuming at night. Any recommendations on pole height and target...

    Unitec WashChange issue

    Thanks for the responses. First off, Unitec reached out to me regarding this issue. It seams that the J2 connector on the controller board can become dirty and interfere with the data communication between the controller board and the validator. So we will attempt to clean and align the...

    Unitec WashChange issue

    I have two Unitec WashChanges (change machine) that were upgraded to a Mars validator (AE 2602) years ago. Periodically, the machine will go out of service and the red light on the back of the validator will flash twice indicating the validator has been disabled. To clear the code and get the...

    Self Serve Customers are driving me to drink

    After tolerating this nonsense for years we finally came to our senses. First off, we now ban mudders. When they come in, we explain we don't allow this here. Guess what, our mud cleanups have significantly decreased. Next, when we see someone dumping household garbage, we ask them to take it...
