Electrical Installation of Your AXIS HIGH PRESSURE ARCH
Your AXIS HIGH PRESSURE ARCH operates from a SINGLE PHASE POWER SOURCE. Connect the arch POWER CORD to a SEPARATE 120VAC, 1PH, 15AMPS ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. The power cord is the HEAVY MULTIWIRE GRAY CABLE located on the bottom right of the electrical enclosure (see Picture #30). The last cable (HEAVY MULTIWIRE BLACK CABLE) is the CONTROL CABLE.
THE AXIS ARCH REQUIRES A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY OF 15AMPS, 120VAC, 1PH TO AVOID EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION DO NOT CONNECT ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL DEVICE ON THE SAME CIRCUIT FEEDING YOUR AXIS ARCH CONTROL PANEL
WARNING! THE MATERIAL REQUIRED FOR CONNECTING THE ARCH CONTROL PANEL IS THE CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY! ALL WORK HAS TO COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL CODES!
Untie and unroll both the power and control cables and run them together to the ceiling of the wash to the RIGHT END SIDE of the CONTROL BOX as shown in picture #31. The cables are 20 FEET LONG from the ENCLOSURE to the cable end. This should allow for sufficient cable length to reach any ceiling height as well as reaching most mechanical room areas when located on the same side of the Axis Control Box.
Bring the cable to an ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX or directly to a 15AMPS 120VAC WALL OUTLET or ask your local electrical contactor to run a circuit from the arch to the lighting panel.

The CONTROL CABLE has FOUR PAIRS of two #18AWG each (see Picture #32). Each pair is prelabeled at the factory and identified :
1. MANIFOLD UP:
These wires may be connected to a momentary contact push button for a manual JOG UP. Pushing the override button will raise the manifold.
2. E-STOP:
These wires have to be connected in series with the car wash EMERGENCY STOP circuit
3. READY SIGNAL:
These wires have to be connected to the car wash controller OUTPUT-FUNCTION dedicated to the arch
4. HP PUMP:
Theses wires have to be connected in series with the control wire commanding the HIGH PRESSURE PUMP starter control (coil)
Pic #32 Control Cable Identification
Your AXIS ARCH requires a “READY” SIGNAL from your car wash controller. The READY signal can accommodate a wide range of voltage signals from 24 VOLTS DC to 120 VOLTS AC. The READY signal input is connected at the factory through the control cable. The control cable has also three other pairs of wires which have to be connected: Jog UP, E-Stop circuit and HP PUMP circuit. Both E-STOP and PUMP have to be connected IN SERIES within the car wash control system.
WARNING! THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY FOR EACH E-STOP AND HP PUMP CIRCUIT MUST NOT EXCEED 5AMP AT 120VAC (MAX)!
Connect the control cable to the READY SIGNAL, the E-STOP circuit and the HP PUMP circuit as shown in picture #33. If needed, you may connect the JOG UP wire pair (1) to a button. This feature allows the operator to MANUALLY JOG UP and RAISE the manifold while operating. As soon as the JOG UP BUTTON is released, the manifold flips toward the exit and profiles the vehicle as in normal operation. This feature may be used to avoid the manifold coming in contact with oversized roof racks or other large equipment located on the roof of a particular vehicle.

Operation
Special attention has to be paid to the size of the vehicle entering the wash: Your Axis High Pressure Arch can wash almost any vehicle produced on the market. However, some dimension limitations apply (see Picture #36).
93”
118” Pic #36 Dimension Limitation
The READY SIGNAL FUNCTION has to be programmed before the vehicle enters the arch. After the Axis Arch receives a READY SIGNAL, the manifold assembly comes from its highest position down until it reaches the LOWER LIMIT SENSOR (see Picture #29). The manifold arch is now oriented toward the ENTRANCE OF THE WASH ready for the first car. The CAR WASH CONTROLLER output has to be programmed to allow the arch assembly to come down “on time” for the first car.
THE ARCH will not enable the HP PUMP until the manifold assembly comes down to about 48” off the ground. Therefore, the CAR WASH CONTROLLER output for the HIGH PRESSURE PUMP has to be programmed to turn ON no sooner than the arch reaching its lowest position.
When a vehicle reaches the arch, the PHOTO-EYES will command the arch manifold to raise and “profile” the vehicle. The Picture #37 identifies the position and the relationships between the different photo-eyes.
Pic #37 Photo-Eyes ID © Motor City Wash Works, Inc. 48285 Frank, Wixom Michigan 48393 U.S.A. Phone: 248.313.0272 ▪ Fax: 248. 313.0271

After the LOWER ENTRANCE PHOTO-EYE beam gets broken by the front end of the vehicle, the arch will start to RISE UP (see Picture #38). The rising speed is preset at the factory and will be sufficiently fast to profile the entire front of the vehicle for most of the conveyor line speeds. If the rising speed is not sufficiently fast for the current conveyor line speed or the vehicle presents a particularly high front end, the HIGHER ENTRANCE PHOTO-EYE light beam will be broken, increasing the arch rising speed to allow the arch to safely move above the front end of the vehicle.
Pic #38 Front End Spraying
As soon as the arch reaches a pre-determined height, the MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY WILL NOW ROTATE IN A DOWNWARD DIRECTION POSITIONING THE NOZZLES ALMOST PERPENDICULAR TO THE VEHICLE TOP SURFACE (hood, roof, etc.). The transition position from front end to top surface may vary with the conveyor speed as well as the shape and size of the vehicle. The arch transition timing may differ depending on vehicle type from the tip of the hood to somewhere the middle of the hood.
19”-24”
Pic #39 Hood Spraying
If the entrance photo-eye beam gets broken by the hood or the top surface of the vehicle, the arch will rise and re-position itself accordingly, accurately profiling the vehicle while consistently keeping the distance between the NOZZLES AND THE VEHICLE SURFACE FROM ABOUT 19” TO 24” see Picture #40). The © Motor City Wash Works, Inc. 48285 Frank, Wixom Michigan 48393 U.S.A. Phone: 248.313.0272 ▪ Fax: 248. 313.0271

distance may also vary slightly depending on the conveyor line speed, the shape and size of the vehicle and the area it is covering. The manifold assembly will now remain in that downward position until it reaches the rear of the vehicle or until it reaches the rear window of a PICK-UP TRUCK.
19”-24”
Pic #40 Top Surfaces Spraying
Both the MIDDLE and EXIT PHOTO-EYES are used as “HOLD” to maintain the height of the arch manifold assembly. When the arch reaches the rear of the vehicle, the manifold assembly ROTATES TOWARD THE REAR of the vehicle and starts the move down on the rear surface of the vehicle (see Picture #41 and 42). The transition of the arch manifold from the top surface to the rear surface may vary depending on the conveyor line speed, the size, type and shape of the vehicle.

Pic #42 Rear Surface Spraying-2
When the arch reaches its LOWEST POSITION after the rear of the vehicle, the manifold assembly will now ROTATE BACK TOWARD THE ENTRANCE OF THE WASH, to its original position, ready for the next car. If the READY SIGNAL is turned OFF, the arch will rise back to its highest home position, waiting for the next READY SIGNAL. If the ready signal is turned back ON while the arch is rising to its original home position, the arch will immediately interrupt the homing process and lower itself back to its lowest home position, ready for the next vehicle.

In the event of a failure in which your AXIS HP ARCH is out-of-service, you have the opportunity to disable it by turning OFF the main switch. However, as a safety feature, the CAR WASH EMERGENCY STOP CIRCUIT will open shutting down your car wash. In order to bring your CAR WASH BACK IN SERVICE you will have to FLIP DOWN the BY-PASS SWITCH (see Picture 45) located in the control enclosure. FLIPPING THE SWITCH TO BY-PASS WILL DISABLE THE ARCH. MOVE THE ARCH MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY CLEAR FROM THE VEHICLE. USE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE BUTTONS TO OPERATE THE ARCH MANUALLY BEFORE DISABLING IT

Start-Up Procedures:
You are now finished with your installation and are ready to safely bring your AXIS HIGH PRESSURE ARCH to life. First task will be to disconnect each HP water line feed at the equipment inlet. “BUMP ON” momentarily each HP Pump unit in order to prime the water pump and flush the water lines. When the lines are flushed, reconnect each water feed and repeat the same operation in order to verify that the nozzles are working properly. Adjust the pressure at the pumping station to 1000PSI. Repeat the same procedures for your optional HIGH PRESSURE SIDE UNITS.
Repeat the same procedure with the AIR SUPPLY by disconnecting the air line at the MAIN EQUIPMENT INLET (see Picture #27), open the air supply to the 3/8” line and purge for a couple of seconds. Shut off the air supply and reconnect to the equipment. Turn ON the air to the arch and verify that the MAIN PRESSURE AIR REGULATOR located in the pneumatic enclosure is set at 90PSI. Adjust as needed.
Turn “OFF” the MAIN POWER SWITCH (see Picture #44) if not already done and TURN ON the main breaker feeding the power to the arch. Open the control enclosure, using voltmeter, measure the voltage coming to the arch on the BOTTOM OF THE MAIN SWITCH. The voltage should read about 120VAC. Shut the enclosure door and turn the power OFF.
DO NOT TURN ON THE MAIN POWER SWITCH YET!
Switch the arch to “MANUAL MODE” using the manual-auto selector switch located on the control enclosure and TURN ON the MAIN POWER SWITCH. Wait for about 10 seconds or until the STATUS LIGHT BLINKS 6 TIMES indicating that the arch is currently on manual mode. Using the UP BUTTON, jog the arch all the way up until it reaches the HIGH LIMIT SENSOR (the sensor indicator light will change color from GREEN TO ORANGE when the arch manifold reaches its position).
WARNING! THERE ARE NO ELECTRICAL LIMITS STOPPING THE JOG PROCESS. BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY OVER TRAVEL THE MANIFOLD ARCH BY HOLDING THE JOG BUTTON BEYOND THE PHYSICAL HEIGHT LIMIT
Jog the arch manifold down to about HALF THE HEIGHT and stop. Turn the manual-auto selector back to AUTO and observe the arch doing a HOMING PROCESS: The arch will rise up until it reaches the high limit sensor and back down looking for the bottom one. When done, the arch will now rise again to its IDLE HOME position, waiting for the first READY SIGNAL.
Again, Switch the arch to “MANUAL MODE” and bring the manifold to about 5” off the floor. Remove each nozzle from the manifold by unscrewing the brass fitting nuts from the adaptor. “BUMP ON” again the HP Pump unit for about ONE MINUTE. This procedure allows for the manifolds and its components to be thoroughly flushed before reconnecting the RotoNozzle. Reconnect the RotoNozzle and switch back to AUTO.
