There are a few additions to the tips. There is a "new style red" that is between purple and aqua, and there is also a lean gray and lean black between purple and pink. I use these charts for ratios. I printed these, placed them back to back and laminated them. I keep it with my box of...

I do like the simple interface and it looks nice. One of the things that caught my attention to the Nayax and monex readers

FWIW I replaced my fragramatics relay with a mercury relay probably ten years ago and it works fine.

The reason I don't think that The comm cable is in play is because the communication from the gantry to the PLC is done via just two wires and is considered serial communication. It's a series off "on and off" signals, kind of like Morse code. So when one of those wires gets damaged (black...

Goo-Goo car wash, a very large chain based out of Columbus, Ga. was closed on Sundays. It worked for them. If you want to discuss this I would think Roger Beck, the son of Goo-Goo founder Lamar Beck, would be willing to have the conversation.

Well, did you find a specific problem?

DO IT!!!!

I agree, time for an input card. The comm cable communicates via serial port so I don't think that's a problem. When a comm cable goes bad the machine usually will act totally bizarre like it's lost it's mind. Also change out relay before it is a problem. Painful experience but I'm sure you...

That is the relay I was referring to. It cycles power to all the transmitter eyes during initiation of a wash and tests eyes. It is cheap, just buy a replacement AND a replacement socket while you're at it. You may not need the socket but trying to eliminate problems it is best to change it...

What, no petit?

Also check 2010 -0,1,2,3 (if you have contouring option) If you're looking at the gantry input card you can flip the switch on the little ice cube relay in the box and that will turn off all transmitters. Make sure all lights mentioned above turn off. The, switch the lever back on and all the...

If you did not swap the eye cable out that could very well be your problem. The connection goes bad frequently. Did you follow the instructions I gave you to check on the red lion itself for issues? The PLC must see the eye working. If the new eye with long cable does not fix it then a new...

There is a lot of choices in quality chemical providers. You can pay a premium for the big brands with a large distributor network. If you just start buying various chemicals from various providers you will spend months or years in trial and error trying to figure out things. In the meantime...

Dealing with that now too at my better location. We had a wash open in February of this year a block away from a good 4/2 site. I hear a fairly consistent story from several operators that the impact is not much on the self serve side, and up to a 60% impact on the automatic side. Overall...

If it's a new line and an overpressure issue the damage caused likely will "balloon out". If it is UV damage to the poly lines it will crack. Also, heat lowers the working pressure of lines but it should still have a burst pressure much higher than working pressure. I thought the MX had a...

Clean your foam generator. If your foam generator has black mesh (instead of stainless)you need to look for debris downstream of the generator, starting right where the product tees at the generator. It can get hung in the turns. I had a problem recently and the only way to finally fix it was...

Basically for the machine to work as intended all banner eyes must function properly. It is not unusual for me to create problems for myself while wiring other eyes by leaving a wire or screw loose or incorrectly wiring an eye to be on the wrong channel. Check all your receiver eyes on the...

How far do you live from the wash? what is the current height of the bays?

Hi Stefan, Karcher commercial car washes has a very small presence here in the USA, if at all still. Istobal currently does, I’m not what other EU manufacturers do.

I don't think they changed the formula of total shield , I believe they just classified it as a ultra concentrate. The did develop an ultra of their H2off. Frankly I don't know what makes the two products different. H2off repels water well and is durable and was my favorite for many years. I...
