9.) In the Reader Options section:
a. Check the No Service - Debit Lockout Enable box to lockout further debits to customer Wickets
if there is no Service Sense signal (machine did not start) for 10 minutes following a debit from
the Wicket. When a lockout occurs, the Wicket Reader will continuously blink red to indicate the
problem. The debit lockout condition can be cleared by starting the machine or cycling power.
During debit lockout a customer can get his money refunded to his Wicket simply by reading his
Wicket on the same Wicket Reader one more time. The Wicket Reader will blink green to
indicate that the money has been refunded to the Wicket.
b. Check the Service Sense = High box if the voltage sensed by the Service Sense Input to the
Wicket Reader goes high when the machine is activated. This is case with most equipment.
However, in cases the opposite is true, such as in Maytag laundry machines that produce a
"machine available" signal which does the logical opposite and thus requires you to leave the box
unchecked.
c. Check the Xtra-Time Enabled box only if the Wicket Reader is tied into an IDX carwash timer
with Xtra-Time enabled (or a competitor's timer with a Grace Time feature enabled). This will
cause the Wicket Reader to debit only the Increment Value for the first 20 seconds after the
Service Sense input indicates the machine has turned off... and then only after that 20 seconds
expires (without the machine being turned back on) will the Wicket Reader thereafter debit the
full Start Up Value from a customer's Wicket to initiate a new service cycle. Leave this box
unchecked if your equipment does not have an Xtra-Time or Grace Time feature.
d. Check the Rainbow When Idle box you would like the Wicket Reader face to occasionally
depart from its normal blue idle color and quickly cycle through the colors of the rainbow. This
feature can help attract attention to the Wicket Reader, but some may be concerned that it may
confuse the customer if it occurs about the time the customer is reading his Wicket. Your choice.
10.) When you are done, tap your Reader Programming Wicket on the Wicket Reader Programming
Module to have it write this configuration information to the Wicket.
11.) Take the Reader Programming Wicket around to all of the machines that will operate with these
particular configuration parameters and tap the Wicket on the machine's Wicket Reader to have it read in
and program itself with these parameters. The Wicket Reader will blink green to indicate that it has
successfully read the parameters from the Reader Programming Wicket.
