Configuration Menu Overview

Refer to the Tunnel Master wbc User Manual for more details on the Tunnel Settings.

Reports Menu Overview

Shift: Daily, Monthly, or Yearly Shift records to reflect how many washes the WBC performed.

• • NOTE: Name and price of the services shown in these reports is dependent on what is set within the SERVICES section.
  • Reports can be exported to a .CSV file, or printed directly if needed by using the Export and Print buttons next to the report information.

NOTE: The Name, Price, and Rate are overridden by WashConnect settings, if we are selling this wash with the ICS Software.

Actions Menu Overview

1. Bump Shift: Resets the Car count by closing the current shift, and then opens a new shift.
   • This is likely done automatically, but can be done manually if needed.
   • This will only effect WBC reports; WashConnect reports are not effected by bumping a shift.
2. Test Pickup Bed Sensor: Checks the Pickup Bed Sensor by continuously posting the distance that is being detected by the sensor over a 30 second period. This is useful for confirming a sensor is accurately reading changes in distance.
3. Get Distance to Tunnel Floor: Checks the Pickup Bed Sensor by posting a single instance of the current distance that is being detected by the sensor. This is useful for confirming the mounting height requirement is being met.
