Usually when this happens, you will see a 4 digit code of 1480 and a sequence of 0102 (vehicle profile) and that is followed by a 4 digit 1004 code with a 0085 sequence (wash forward). If it doesn't see that vehicle going forward soon enough, that's when it will flag the vehicle left early 1004...

Agree with all the comments above. As the machine travels front to rear, it is looking to count each tire. If the tire finder photoeyes can see through the wheels of the car, they may not count correctly. Ideally, if your bay is relatively flat (1/8" per foot fall to center), you want the...

That would do it. I'm glad you found it!

On the older US2001 gantry machines, here are the outputs that would have driven the CMD sign: 126 would be your 25VAC hot, and 25 would be your neutral. There would be 120VAC going to the CMD sign using wires 99 (hot), and 90 (neutral). The green/red lights would also be 120VAC, and those...

After you get the bolt head off, the cover should be able to come loose. Once that's out of the way, just grind the flange of the rivet nut off too, then use a punch to knock it loose.

I hadn't seen those old ads in years! With the address on Dean Ave, those were pre 1983 when we moved in to the building we are today.

For the bolts securing the back panel to the CMD weldment, I would recommend using a cutoff wheel on a grinder to pop the heads off. Once those are loose, the back should come off, and you will probably need to grind the flanges off too to get the rivet nuts to pop out. You can try TriFlow...

The 2 digit code 14 indicates there is an issue with either the front or rear endstop as I had mentioned above. I suspect that one of them is likely shorting out where the input is coming on where it shouldn't. I would drive the machine away from the end of the track, then have someone look at...

On the wall, you should have a gray box called a Remote Communications Interface. It's about 10x12". The older machines had one with a small window that houses a red 2 digit LED display inside. On the newer machines, these Remote Comm boxes have a touchscreen display. For the older style...

On a Softgloss, the machine is at home position when it is at the exit end of the bay with the machine almost touching the endstop bumpers. If the machine is older, you probably have the physical bayplates. After the machine is armed and a vehicle pulls in and onto the bayplates, that should...

I sent you a PM yesterday too.

I would recommend you reach out to a company called Chroma Service in Italy. Several of their employees came from Ryko Italia and they would be specialists on those machines. Salvatore and his team can be contacted at service@croma-croma.com

You didn't mention what model machine you are working on, but when the top brush "jumps", is an output coming on from the PLC of the machine to actuate the MAC valve? If so, then the program is likely controlling that "jump". If the TB is controlled via an air cylinder via belts, this sounds...

Before you remove the old PLC, you will want to write down the answers to all your setup questions:

To transfer the program, you will need a Mitsubishi FX-20P HPP with the proprietary RYKO software. The newer models (FX-30P) may also work, but they would also need the RYKO software and be in the FX2N mode. I've seen them on EBAY, but RDM may also have older ones. If you don't have the...

Make sure to use loctite on those bolts at the top of the brush core to ensure they stay firmly attached to the reducer flange. If you have customers running into the rear arm shafts, you may want to put bollards in place to help guide them more towards the center of the bay

Those dollies should work fine. When the machine is shipped, we use a metal angle-iron framework that bolts to the bottom edge of the frame, and it ties the arms in so they are closed. Then we have a set of dollies that are put in the 4 corners. If you want to keep the frame square, you could...

The arms are brought in through the air cylinders based on the pressures they are set to. The labels on the regulators should always be considered as the maximum. They should be adjusted to they bring the arms in smooth, but soft. Most front and rear arms operate best with their "air in"...

There are a lot of different things that could be possible. I would recommend you get an experienced tech out there to inspect the machine before you would reopen it to the public. The first thing I would recommend is that you try doing a brush wet down test in the test functions, and look at...

A code 8Y doesn't actually exist, so not sure why/how you would be seeing that. Where are you seeing it, on the 2 digit display, or in the HPP? We don't have any alpha characters in a 2 digit code, so if it's on the 2 digit display, sounds more like a bad display. The only place to...
