POS Max Washes:
This is the maximum wash number that the Unitec Carwash POS Unit will respond to a code
request. All requests above this value will be acted upon as if the POS Max Washes Value were
subtracted from the Original request.
Example:
POS Max Washes is set to 3
Requests for washes 1,2, and 3 are unchanged (processed as 1,2 and 3 respectively)
Requests for washes 4, 5, and 6 are shifted down by 3 and are processed as 1, 2 and 3 (request
for wash 4 processed as wash 1, request for wash 5 processed as wash 2, and request for wash
6 processed as wash 3)
This feature was added to adapt to the Chevron/Dresser-Wayne application. Note that POS Max
Washes value is applied before the POS Offset. This feature is also used when configuring the
Reverse order function (See Section 4.1.10.5)
External POS Type:
This is the Protocol type used to communicate from the Carwash POS unit to the EXT POS
device. The proper POS Type must be used for each particular EXT POS device. Unitec’s POS
unit’s Manuals will have an appendix with a chart showing the required POS type for each EXT
POS device. This chart is also sent a part of a Unicam Upgrade for the POS4000 units. POS 1
and POS 2 are Ryko emulations and POS3 (also at times referred to the Unicam Protocol) is
maintained by Unitec. POS0 is an obsolete Modem connection not used any more. Note that
POS4000 consoles shipped without the Unicam option are configured for POS0 to be the
default. Chips with POS0 as the default cannot be changed to POS 1, 2 or 3. E-System
POS4000 consoles and Enterlinks come with Unicam option Standard (defaulted to POS2) and
may be changed at any time.
If you use the GROUP keys of the POS4000 to sell carwashes, you have to set the POS Offset
(see Section 4.1.10.1) of the POS4000. External POS types 1 and 2 (see below) request
different carwashes as wash levels. In order to translate this wash level to the appropriate
GROUP key, you must set the POS Offset direction as up and amount as the number of
PROGRAM keys plus the number of OPTION keys. For example, if your POS4000 main
console has 1 program key and 5 option keys you would set the POS Offset as 6 UP.
If you leave the POS Offset at the default value (0 DOWN), then wash level 1 will translate to the
first POS4000 cashier key (program 1), wash level 2 will translate to the second cashier key
(program 2 if present or option 1), etc. If your POS4000 main console supports as many
program keys as the external POS system has wash levels, then you typically will NOT need to
set the POS Offset.
The "Define EXT. POS Type" command (see Section 4.1.10.2) is used to select the type of
external POS equipment that the POS4000 can communicate with. At the current time (new
manufacturers are being added), the POS4000 can connect with the following external POS
systems:
• Gilbarco G-Site (C2, and CPU)
• Dresser-Wayne Wayne Plus
• Schlumberger Micromax Pro I, and II
• Allied Site controller (Uses Schlumberger Micromax)
