Document Name: Unitec RFID Field Retrofit Installation Guide for WSII
1 Introduction
The ReachFree ID product is a house account application designed to build car wash
volume and increase throughput with secure, subscription-based wash accounts. The RFID
reader reads the RFID tag that is adhered to the account holder’s windshield.
If the account is valid, the Wash Select II will approve the transaction without any interaction
from the account holder and will allow the vehicle to proceed past the entry system and into
the tunnel or in-bay automatic.
In order for the ReachFree ID system to work in the Wash Select II, your Wash Select II
MUST have WashPay integration.
2 Software Requirements
In order for the ReachFree ID system to function properly, the Unitec entry unit must be
updated to the most recent version of software with WashPay Generation 2 integration,
therefore, the WSII software must be 6.00 or higher.
3 Site Planning
If this is a new installation, a conduit will need to be run from the Wash Select II to the
mounting surface for the reader.
The reader may be mounted on any material including metal, but there must be open space
in front of the reader and to its sides. There must be no material interfering with the reader’s
surveillance zone betw
een the reader and the tags’ location.
If the optional mounting pole was ordered with the RFID kit, the reader should be mounted
on the pole beside the far side of the Wash Select II (with the flange of the mounting pole
installed 3 feet from the centerline of the unit, as shown in Figure 5). The reader should be
mounted on a pole 7 feet above the vehicle lane.
