CHAPTER 2: Site Planning Careful planning for the layout of the site will help eliminate possible problems with the start-up of your system and will ensure continued, reliable system operation. In the site planning stage, keep the following objectives in mind: ...
Equipment Dimensions When mounting the unit, minimum clearances must meet local codes. Dimension Amount Notes Width. 32'' — Height. 40'' — Depth. 12'' Includes the plastic face. Weight. 130 lbs. Inclusive of the box, board, and door. Operating Temp. 32° F to 122° F Interior, non-corrosive surface.
Power Requirements Electrician must provide a dedicated 15 Amp, 120 V AC circuit to power the Tunnel Master® wbc box. This dedicated circuit must supply the UPS. The UPS will supply power to the WBC. A separation of 120 V AC and 24 V AC shall be maintained for all field-wiring circuits. All 24 V AC circuits must be supplied by a class-2 transformer, which is to be provided by the electrician.
Site Grounding Considerations The Tunnel Master® wbc and peripheral equipment must be properly grounded. Recommended and Accepted Grounding Methods Proper system grounding is an extremely important part of the system installation. Grounds for all system devices should be wired to the breaker panel ground bus bar which, in turn, should be grounded to a ground rod.
Wire Gauge and Conduit Size When planning the orientation of the wiring runs, follow the applicable ICS wiring diagrams and consider the layout of the components at the site. To determine conduit size needed, see the table below for more information. ½...
CHAPTER 3: Electrical Installation The Tunnel Master® wbc is the control center for “firing” the various outputs or services in the wash tunnel; for example, soap foamer, reclaim motor, and more. The Tunnel Master® wbc provides for automatic, computer controlled or manual firing of the outputs. The system can control up to 192 outputs and 64 inputs (48 of which are user-programmable).

Main CPU Board Overview The main CPU board includes a microprocessor module and 16 main inputs. It drives up to four in-box relay boards and one in-box input board. A data flash module is included for storage of configuration settings. One eight-port DIP switch is included.

Delayed Panic Input The Delayed Panic Input, if active, will pause the conveyor for the programmed amount of time before entering a full Panic Stop Node. Recommended: purchase either a yellow or orange push/pull stop button. The Delayed Panic Input is located on the Main CPU board as Input 1. Delayed Panic Input Figure 7.
Input Board The input board provides monitoring and error reporting of all 48 inputs wired to the inputs terminal block. Auxiliary inputs help report the state of the tunnel. If an error condition or event occurs, you can use the inputs as monitors to receive alerts or set the tunnel into a panic stop mode.
When this jumper is moved from the Normal Operation mode JP29 to the Manual Bypass mode JP30, the WBC Input board will ignore any of the inputs that would be wired up to the Input board and that the WBC could be set up to monitor. This way if there was an issue with several inputs that the WBC would be monitoring, the inputs could be ignored and the user could still start the conveyor and run washes.
Relay Boards The Tunnel Master® wbc ships with one relay board (standard). Up to an optional three additional boards can be mounted inside the box (additional fees apply). Separate data and power cables are used for each board. Each board supports 24 relays for a total of 96 [24 × 4 = 96] directly controlled relays.
NOTE: Fuses should not be replaced with any device other than those supplied and specified by Innovative Control Systems. Spare relay board fuses are contained in the Tunnel Master® wbc packaging.

through the relay and activating the load side of the device controlled. Since the neutral is already directly wired to the neutral side of the device, the device now has both the load and neutral and will turn on until the load circuit is again broken when the relay stops firing. If sequential relays will be controlling devices that require the same voltage, jump the required voltage through the commons using the prefabricated shorting bars provided by ICS.

Ultrasonic Truck Bed Sensor Mounting Recommendations When mounting the ultrasonic sensor, alignment is critical. Ensure the face of the transducer is clear of obstructions and parallel to the target. A misalignment of a few degrees can affect the accuracy and reliability of the sensor. NOTE: If any of the Ultrasonic Mounting Recommendations cannot be met, a custom mounting solution can be fabricated for your location.

CHAPTER 4: Communications Wiring This chapter describes wiring for RS-422 and RS-485 communications. Installation Requirements All equipment connected to the RS-232 ports must be Listed, have an Electronics Industrial Association (EIA) standard RS-232 communications protocol, and not be installed over a hazardous location.
You can wire up to a maximum of four smart relay boards. Connectors are interchangeable on all boards even though there are two separate ports, either one can be used. In Figure 34, you can see the sample layout for a Tunnel Master wbc System with a double Tunnel Master Jr. configuration with 72 outputs.
CHAPTER 5: Install Entrance Keypad The following instructions will provide detailed information on the proper mounting and installation of the entrance keypad. The Entrance Keypad should be mounted securely to the wall of the car wash, in the entrance to the tunnel, at approximately chest height.
Entrance Keypad Wiring There is a terminal block (POWER) located on the keypad circuit board labeled with ACH (Line), ACN (Neutral), and GND (Ground). Terminations for the 3 – 18AWG wires should be torqued to 20 pound-inches (2.3 n-m.) NOTE: Over torquing may cause enclosure breakage.

Main CPU Board RS-485 Comm Terminal Wiring Second Entrance Keypad Mounting and Installation The following instructions will provide detailed information on proper mounting and installation of the optional second entrance keypad.
Second Entrance Keypad Wiring One approved 3/4” conduit must be run between the first and second keypads. Conduit should originate from the bottom of the first keypad enclosure to the bottom of the second keypad enclosure. All conduits should properly be connected and securely fastened to the boxes with Listed conduit hubs, and should be tightened to the torque specs of the manufacturer.
