Cleaning agent heater The cleaning agent heater is located in the cleaning agent supply in pillar 2. Frost protection device The washing bay can be equipped with a frost protection device: If there is a danger of frost, the water is blown out of the piping system automatically. This blowing process is controlled by a thermostat. Reverse osmosis system Demineralised water (from an on-site system or optionally avail- able reverse osmosis system) or fresh water dosed with drying aid is sprayed onto the vehicle via the drying aid nozzles. Foam polishing A compressed air foamed mixture of water and cleaning agent is sprayed onto the vehicle via 2 stationary nozzles. This is followed by a polishing procedure with the washing brushes. Safety switch Safety switches are required if the required safety clearances be- tween the washing bay and permanent fixtures (e.g. walls, pillars, sinks) cannot be maintained. The safety switches prevent per- sons from being crushed between the system and the wall. The washing bay stops immediately if a safety switch touches an obstacle. Note If the system is stopped by a safety switch, determine the cause if this hand have the safety switch reset by an authorised techni- cal specialist. Splash guard The splash guard protects the areas adjacent to the washing sta- tion from sprayed dirt and splash water emitted by the rotating side brushes. The splash guard is attached to the outer surfaces of the chassis and suspension as well as the pillars. Bollard protection The purpose of the bollard protection is to ensure central align- ment of the vehicle. They prevent the vehicle from being parked too far away from the centre. Remote reset The Reset function allows the wash gantry to be moved to the in- iial position remotely with a command via an interface. The func- tion can be enabled via a separate parameter in the system control. ● This function must only be enabled in countries or at locations where this function is permitted. ● Video surveillance must be installed on site, covering the en- tire area of the washing hall or the entire travel path of the sys- tem, and any regulations applicable in the country/municipality where the system is installed must be applied. ● The person who performs the remote reset must first ensure via the video surveillance that there are no persons in the trav- el path of the system. If a person then requests the command, that person must confirm that the system and its travel path are completely free by acknowledging a safety notice (e.g. pop-up window). ● The person who integrates the system into his system, e.g. via the Internet, is responsible for the required security or cyber- security and a risk assessment must be carried out on the sys- tem. Gate control The on-site gate control is actuated by the passenger vehicle por- tal controller with the correct signals according to the washing se- quence. A distinction is made between summer gate control and winter gate control. Summer gate control ● The gates are open before washing starts. ● The vehicle can drive in. ● The gates are closed when washing starts. ● The gates are opened when washing ends and remain open. Winter gate control ● The entry gate is closed before washing starts and must be opened to allow the vehicle to drive in. This is done by e.g. in- serting a wash card into the wash card reader. ● The gates are closed when washing starts (e.g. by pressing the "Start" button on the wash card reader). ● The gates are opened when washing ends and are closed again after the vehicle has exited. Control elements Emergency off In the event of danger to persons, equipment or animals, the sys- tem must be switched off immediately by pressing the "EMER- GENCY OFF" button. "EMERGENCY OFF" buttons are located: ● On the wash card/code reader. ● On the control panel. ● Optionally at the washing hall entrance if the control panel or wash card/code reader are not located at the entrance.
