1 Overview
This document provides instructions for upgrading Washpay systems to the Sierra Site Controller (the
2
nd
Generation product). The upgrade involves replacing the Site Controller computer and updating
the software program in the self-serve bay paynode terminals and the Washpay printer paynode.
Wash Select II software and the software on the WashPay expansion board must also be upgraded
when interfaced with the Washpay controller.
A PC/Laptop computer will be needed to perform the upgrade. In cases where the current site
controller is equipped with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, it can be used as the local computer.
The installer should be familiar with the Sierra Management application in order to program the
system. Detailed instructions on use of the management functions are provided in the Sierra
Management Application Programming Manual, which can be downloaded from Unitec’s website at:

site server, however, Unitec will be able to recover the data, if needed, from a copy of these files.

and WSIIs, then it will be replaced with the new site server.
