Important:
DO NOT RUN CABLE OUTSIDE OF A CONDUIT!
Follow all local and National Electric Codes.
Finally, it should be understood that the EZ Trak terminal is to be powered by wires of at least
18 AWG, or larger. Failure to adhere to this recommendation could result in a fire or injury.
When installing the conduit, it is suggested that it be a minimum of ¾” in size, and be made of
metal versus PVC.
1.2 Mechanical Planning
1.2.1 Position of the Unit
The proper positioning of the EZ Trak terminal is very important. Figure 2 of this section
should be used as a reference for good layout practices. There are several layout
considerations that follow, which may be a good idea to think about.
The EZ Trak terminal should be placed 10-14 feet from the car wash entrance to ensure the
proper timing and flow of customers. The wash’s treadle switch should be centered along the
horizontal plane, approximately 18” inches out from the front of the EZ Trak terminal. This will
ensure that the car/truck’s wheel is aligned with the treadle switch, as shown in Figure 2.
Finally, a concrete post can be positioned just to the front and left corner of the unit, to act as
a protective buffer. A typical size for this post is between 30 and 35 inches.
