Install The Battery Charger - 3M Drive-Thru G5 Installation Manual

3M™ Drive-Thru System Model G5
• A Dual Drive-Thru (see Figure 4) is comprised of two completely separate drive-thru systems, each with its own lane (usually on
opposite sides of the building) its own order point, and one or two drive-thru windows for payment and pick up. The simplest dual
drive-thru is two single drive-thrus, but it is possible to have dual tandem, dual side-by-side, or even a combination of different
drive-thru types.
Number and Configuration of Basestations
Only one G5 Basestation Model G5B1 is required to support a Single-Lane or Dual-Lane operation. Single-Lane Basestations do not have
the Dual-Lane functionality activated. Dual-Lane Basestations come with Dual-Lane functionality already enabled at the factory.
If you are attempting to upgrade a previously purchased Single-Lane Basestation to operate in Dual-Lane (regardless of type), the
Basestation's Dual-Lane functionality must be activated. To activate this Dual-Lane functionality, you must purchase the 3M™ Drive-Thru
System G5 Dual-Lane Upgrade Package SKU# 78-6911-5206-6. See "Appendix: Upgrading a Single-Lane Basestation to a Dual-Lane" on
page 67, on how to upgrade from a Single-Lane to a Dual-Lane with the software purchase.
Number and Type of Vehicle Detectors
G5 Basestation Model G5B1 can accommodate up to two vehicle detectors; one for each Lane's order point.
There are two basic types of vehicle detector output signal: presence and pulse.
• Presence detectors are most common. They tell the Basestation when a vehicle is present over the detector. They remain active
as long as the vehicle stays within the range of detection.
• Pulse detectors are less common. They tell the Basestation when a vehicle has arrived, but have no mechanism to know if or when
the vehicle leaves. An air hose is typically used to provide the pulse signal when a vehicle rolls over it.
D. Install the Battery Charger
The G5 Headset batteries can be charged while the battery is still in the headset using the G5 Headset Charging Station, or separately using
a standalone 3M™ Drive-thru Headset Battery Charger G5 12-slot, SKU# 78-8117-4657-3 / 7100135683. All lights and indications will flash
on the battery and not on the chargers.
The XT-1 Headset uses the 6-slot or 3-slot battery charger.
