5 System Test-Out Procedure
The following section contains procedures for testing out a completed installed
system for the first time. The procedures are written to cover up to 4 lanes of
operation. Any lanes that do not have the wires connected will be ignored by the Gate
controller and do not need to be tested. The test procedure is to be performed in lane
sequence (i.e., test Lane 1, then Lane 2, etc.). If you chose to perform the procedures
out of sequence, follow the resetting of the WSII power and Gate Controller as
dictated in the initial steps of testing for Lane 1.
Caution:
You may wish to do this test with the gate arms removed from the gates in order to
avoid damage to a vehicle if the Gate loops are malfunctioning.
5.1 Testing System Interface for Lane 1
1. Reset power to all WSII units.
2. Remove any vehicles below all gate loops and merge loop.
3. Verify that all Gates have power and the gates are down. Gates should
be switched to Automatic mode.
4. Reset Power to Gate controller. As you do, note the LCD screen display
on it. It should show the Gate controller software version then go to
“Idle/Scanning.” The “Wash In Use” output Y0,Y1,Y2,Y3 are the only
output/input LEDs on the PLC that should be lit. They tell each lane of
WSII to hold the customer arming signals.
If this is not the case, check wiring of each terminal that is incorrect based
on the Gate Controller I/O Definitions chart in Section 5.
5. Verify on the door of the Wash Select II that the “Wash In Use” LED is lit.
If not, check the wiring from Y0/Terminal 41 of the Gate controller and
terminal 11 to J18 of the WSII.
6. Arm a wash at the Wash Select II in Lane 1.
7. Verify Gate at Lane 1 opens. If not, view the LCD screen on the PLC. If it
shows “IDLE/SCANNING” still, then it is not getting the signal into
X0/terminal 21 from the WSII. Check your wiring from the Gate Controller
to J19 of the Wash Select II. If it shows “Open Gate 1,” then check the
wiring from the Gate Controller Y4/Terminal 51 to the Gate terminal strip.
8. If everything is operating correctly, X4 LED on the PLC should be lit and
the LCD screen on the Gate controller should show “Wait for Gate 1”. If
not, verify wiring from X4/Terminal 31 to the Gate terminal strip.
9. With the Gate for lane 1 open, drive a car through Lane 1. Validate that
the Gate lowers after the rear of the vehicle comfortably passes off the
Gate Loop. If not, consult the Gate Controller manual for Gate loop
operation.
