Initial Startup Before You Begin Use INPUT lights on the PLC to check operation of both Breakaways, Shuttle Home Proximity Sensor, Shuttle Position Proximity Sensor and the Driver Side Sonar before operating machine. NOTE: IF SOFTWATE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO THE VIRTUAL POSITIONING SYSTEM VERSION, RUN A TEST VEHICLE. Understanding the Virtual Positioning System The sensors used for vehicle navigation respond differently in four separate phases of the wash cycle. Phase 1. Initial Position of Vehicle Within the Bay Phase 2. Locate the Front and Sides of the Vehicle Phase 3. Initial Butterfly Inward Motion at the Front of the Vehicle to Start the Wash Cycle Phase 4. Normal Wash Cycle in Progress 1MANUL-KT113 Belanger, Inc. * 1001 Doheny Ct. * Northville, MI * Ph (248) * Fax (248)

14 Initial Startup Understanding the Virtual Positioning System Phase 1: Initial Position of Vehicle within the Bay To initiate a normal wash, the vehicle must be between the Bay Limit Photo Eyes (Entrance and Exit Load Sonar Units) and under the machine. The actual position that the vehicle stops at is not critical as long as it meets the two described conditions shown below. The vehicle will be instructed to pull forward until it enters the Entrance Photo Eyes and completely passes through them. The vehicle also must be under both Sonar units. 1) A vehicle is considered under the machine when it blocks both Carriage mounted Sonar Units from sensing the floor. 2) A vehicle is considered between the Limit Photo Eyes when the beams from both sets of Photo Eyes are NOT blocked by the vehicle. Initial position before machine motion begins. Vehicle shown at approximate entrance most acceptable position. The STOP light comes on when the vehicle is in this position. Vehicle shown at approximate exit most acceptable position. Light Control STOP Both Photo Eyes made and both Sonar Units blocked. FORWARD The Enter Load Photo Eyes are blocked. BACKWARD The Exit Load Photo Eyes are blocked. 12 Belanger, Inc. * 1001 Doheny Ct. * Northville, MI * Ph (248) * Fax (248) MANUL-KT113

15 Initial Startup Understanding the Virtual Positioning System Phase 2: Locate the Front and Sides of the Vehicle When motion initially starts, the vehicle must not block the Exit Limit Photo Eyes beam nor clear Entrance Sonar. The Exit Sonar is removed from position control when sizing front and sides of vehicle. If the Exit Limit Photo Eyes beam is broken, the vehicle will be instructed to back up. If the Entrance Sonar is cleared, the vehicle will be instructed to pull forward. During initial positioning, system locates front of vehicle and then sizes the width. Carriage is shown at HOME position. Carriage shown at position where front end of vehicle has been located. Light Control STOP Exit Load Photo Eyes made and Entrance Sonar Unit blocked. FORWARD The Enter Sonar is made (NOT BLOCKED). BACKWARD The Exit Load Photo Eyes are blocked. 1MANUL-KT113 Belanger, Inc. * 1001 Doheny Ct. * Northville, MI * Ph (248) * Fax (248)

16 Initial Startup Understanding the Virtual Positioning System Phase 3: Initial Butterfly Inward Motion at the Front of the Vehicle to Start the Wash Cycle The Exit Sonar must be made before the first front butterfly inward motion can take place. The first butterfly inward motion takes place immediately after the width sizing is complete. The vehicle will be instructed to back up until the sonar is made. The sonar is considered made when it senses the floor. After the width has been sized, machine must butterfly in front to start cycle. Light Control Image shows Exit Sonar in position to sense the floor. STOP Exit Sonar made (NOT BLOCKED). BACKWARD The Sonar Units are blocked. 14 Belanger, Inc. * 1001 Doheny Ct. * Northville, MI * Ph (248) * Fax (248) MANUL-KT113

17 Initial Startup Understanding the Virtual Positioning System Phase 4: Normal Wash Cycle in Process The vehicles forward and backward position may change during cycle. The machine will continue to wash the vehicle even if it moves, provided it does not break the Exit Limit Photo Eye beam nor allow both Sonar Units to be made while machine is passing HOME position. After the initial butterfly in front on the vehicle, the machine is in its Normal Wash Cycle. Vehicle is shown in original position when wash started. Vehicle shown in position that it rolled to during cycle. Light Control BACKWARD wash is behind the HOME position and the Exit Photo Eyes have been broken for one second the vehicle will be instructed to back up and the machine will stop. The vehicle will be asked to back up until the Exit Sonar has been broken for.8 seconds and the Exit Photo Eyes are made. FORWARD If both sonar units see the floor while the machine passes the HOME position the vehicle will be instructed to pull forward and the machine will stop. The vehicle will be asked to pull forward until the Entrance Sonar has been broken for.8 seconds and the Entrance Photo Eyes are made. STOP Latched on until backward or forward condition sensed. 1MANUL-KT113 Belanger, Inc. * 1001 Doheny Ct. * Northville, MI * Ph (248) * Fax (248)

18 Initial Startup Understanding the Virtual Positioning System Phase 1: Limousine Exception If vehicle is long enough to block both sets of Photo Eyes simultaneously, it will be instructed to back up until the Exit Photo Eyes have been made. The machine will wash these vehicles but never butterfly in on the rear of the vehicle. Initial position before machine motion begins. Image shows limousine blocking both sets of Photo Eyes. The limousine will be asked to back up until the above position is approximately reached. 16 Belanger, Inc. * 1001 Doheny Ct. * Northville, MI * Ph (248) * Fax (248) MANUL-KT113
