Pat, I agree with MEP ---- I know on our 16 laundry dryers drop coin mechs the wire trip switches will both chatter & miss when they get tiny amounts of lint or whatever within them. The problem with these intermittent occurrences the regulars quit informing us & eventually it is enough to tip...

Carl, Make sure that they are welded in the right pattern. We learned that our original grates were not fabricated for strength so they did not last as long as they otherwise would have. MJ

mjc3333, Any brand that anyone may purchase a large quantity of. Hopefully, they all have pretty good quality control. It seems like it would be in the manufacturers' interest that any potential problem would be more accurately pinpointed rather than speculated about. It could be used to...

Has anyone worked with some type of oscilloscope to measure the pulse length & reliability of a finicky coin mech that some of us might struggle with? It seems that it could cut down on some guess work & unnecessary parts swapping. Sometimes there could be the printed circuit board thingy...

Alternative Plan? RykoPro, I don't want to downplay the urgency of the situation but--- If you have too much trouble & it is a last resort situation ---- you probably know all the functions or what the PLC is accomplishing. From there hopefully you can get the actual manufacture of the PLC...

Ted, That was definitely a work of art by the photographer. I wonder if the audio was for real because the bear cub sounded almost human. I could relate a bit because a few days ago at our dog wash there was a Chow-Australian Shepherd dog that I mentioned to the owners that its huge face...

Seductive & tillilating??? Towards the end of the posts on this below plumbing forum thread there is a very convincing post & a more thorough explanation by a Phd Engineer who graciously shares his expertise. http://www.terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?34258-Airless-Valve E Caveat...

Resiliency? Tom, That is interesting. This is what our dog wash is set up for & even was categorized as a "breeze way" for the air to flow properly ---- tunnel or whatever. The breeze effect does not help during the winter though; so down goes the storm window on each door during those...

Based on both science & experience Mike_D, Great work on your series in the Auto Laundry News on Hand Held Blow Drys! Often us operators need to look beneath the surface & not just over simplify things. You know the saying "Ignorance can be Bliss":p! I remember working with a mechanical...

low voltage Jeffs, My previous post was meant for you Jeffs. Sorry, Jeff_L. Now that is straightened out: Jeffs, if the Fire Marshall persists on the low voltage wires make sure that he shows you the exact wording of the specific code that he is using locally. This could be really horrific...

Jeff_L, Like Eric suggested I would definitely request the wording of the pertinent code. Is the reasoning so they can get inside easier responding to a fire? In that case they are shifting too much on you when they should be practicing with the "Jaws of Life" & the other tools (that our tax...

About the windshield advertising----It might be wise to check local ordinances. MJ

Now we have an internal Remote Code but how I do we know what it is? Mep & Jim L, We may be extremely dense so please bear with us. There is an IR signal that is between 2 devices that neither displays the code. When the power button goes on from the remote the Dixmor shows 0000, then we...

Remote differences? From your guys experience, does the remote have to be aimed directly at the Dixmor LED7 or 5 READOUT? We did finally get one of the brand new LED7s to work with the searching process. It just seems kind of time consuming to set up with the remote that I described. Are the...

Jim L, I just PM'd you. Thanks MJ

We were told that any universal remote would work with the LED7s & LED5s so we bought a reasonably priced $9 RCA Model 3 universal TV remote that had the Sony compatibility. We followed Dixmor's instructions precisely & there is no response when we enter the 2 available Sony codes on the RCA...

dogwasher, I prefer stainless like we have. We made drawings, built a rough cardboard prototype & had ours done locally with stainless & high 40 inch walls except in the front where we have a 20 inch sliding door. We used 14 gauge stainless. Our 30 inch depth with 48 inch wide made the tub...

workaround? improvisation? Mep & others, Keep in mind the push button selection is momentary so if it is pushed before the countdown starts there will be no response. After the countdown starts then the momentary is latched in via the distribution board. The issue they have to wait until the...

We are phasing out our touchpads with vandal resistant momentary push buttons with LEDs on the distribution board. In the testing process we notice that with the Dixmor LED7s we have an option for a 2 second delay which is nice for the customer. The problem with that option in the bay is that...

Bill & others, Yes, & if they are not given away without any strings attached ---- there also could be some float like with tokens. I guess a potential problem is if the coupon gets sweated up & ruined in people's pockets there is a good chance they will want to trade it for a crisp new one...
