    Done with Eports!

    The LED7 is a little more solid. The LED6 display has a high failure rate. I like the LED6's ability to count up in currency, but do we really want that? They don't watch the clock when it counts up in time. I set the LED7 to "RTRO" so it doesn't scroll anything, it just displays the start...

    Vacuum staying on

    It doesn't need a heavy wire since it's only powering the mercury relay coil. It just needs always hot power to that spade terminal.

    Vacuum staying on

    The block on the right that sticks out is the timer relay. You need a hot line in to the relay so it can send power out.

    Vacuum staying on

    I don't see a line going into the timer relay.

    My Fragmatics vacuum keeps tripping it's 30A fuse.

    Check or change the older motor's brushes or replace the motor. Try MDL 10 fuses instead of fast-blow 30 amp.

    Vendor

    Depends on how smart your customers are. If you installed a reader and set it up so customers would get a coin pulse credit for the lowest priced vending item, then they could press the swiper button to add credit until it reaches the value of the product or total items they want, THEN would...

    replacement bill counter

    Since you get so offended when someone "puts words in your mouth," show me one post on this forum where anyone said anything remotely similar to what you just claimed.

    Changing over to tokens?

    The reason I mix tokens in with quarters is so I have an influx of quarters, solely so I don't have to buy quarters. Doing the same with dollar coins and tokens won't do the same thing with dollar coins, at least for me. I'd still be going to the bank, I'd just be getting a different currency...

    Changing over to tokens?

    Sounds about right. I could mix in even more tokens, but I generally wait until my quarters are disappearing and dump in a bag of 1000. If I kept about 20% mixed in, I'm sure I'd go through the 10,000 in 6 to 9 months. I just want to not have to buy quarters. My vendors have mechanical...

    Vacuum staying on

    Instead of tying the 10 gauge wires at the timer, pull the bracket out that the timer is attached to and connect a new wire at the terminal strip on the back along with the incoming wires. If there's no strip, connect a new wire to the incoming line and that will go straight to the mercury...

    The most disgusting thing I ever saw in a customer's car was _________________________________________________-

    I'd rather hear about who pooped in your paste wax. I'm sick of hearing/reading about COVID.

    Vacuum staying on

    The two terminals on the right are input and load. You can use either one. Main power goes to one, load to the relay comes out the other. In your first diagram, the very top "10GA BLACK" on the barrier strip is the timed load out. See how it goes to the fuses and then the motors.

    No water to the wash, only air

    Water is typically 60-70 PSI. I keep my main air regulator at 90 because that's the maximum of the Flojets.

    Hamilton Mobile App

    Hamilton is so helpful that they changed their message-on-hold for me. One Friday evening I had to make an emergency tech call for a customer and had to listen to the "We apologize for your weight" loop. When the person came on and helped me, then asked if there was anything else they could...

    Changing over to tokens?

    FWIW I use the cheapest .984 tokens, value them at 25¢, and mix about 10% in with the quarters in the changer. I bought 10,000 tokens a little over a year ago, they're almost all gone and I've made $800 off their loss. I don't have to sort anything. Yes, you have to switch out all your...

    No water to the wash, only air

    You said the meter was turned off, I would agree that the dirt is probably from the city side working on a line break or something. Softener resin looks nothing like dirt.

    Wax issue and Crypto par swiper question

    I haven't done it to mine yet, but it's on the list.

    Low Pressure Additions

    Do you have any info about the system or the wash you could share? I'd like to create a self-serve version of what they call "snow foam" that a lot of detailers use.
