1 Overview of Remote Code POS4000
The POS4000 is a car wash access controller that provides both a merchandising tool and cash
security. The system consists of a main console, which is typically located near the cashier, and
the Wash Select II (WSII) entry system that is typically located at the entrance of the car wash.
The Remote Code POS4000 is used when an electronic connection to the Wash Select II is not
feasible. The Remote Code POS4000 generates a 6 or 7 digit code that also contains wash data
in it. This code is then entered into the WSII. The WSII extracts and validates the data, then
stores the code in a database and authorizes the wash. Remote codes can be sold by the
cashier at the console or through the external POS (e.g., gas pumps). The operations are the
same as that of regular codes.
The Wash Select II may be configured to interface to a POS4000 in order to be activated by
codes sold at one or multiple POS4000 units. This is how a Wash Select II/POS is configured to
operate. Any Wash Select II may also be upgraded in the field to interface to a POS4000 either
by direct wires or via encrypted codes from a Remote Code POS4000. The Wash Select II can
support having BOTH a direct (wired) POS4000 link AND Remote Code POS4000s enabled on
the unit. When both types of POS4000 links are enabled, we highly suggest that different code
lengths are assigned to the linked POS4000 and to the Remote Code POS4000 to limit the
chance of duplicate codes being generated. A code will first attempt to be verified by the Remote
Code POS4000, then it will be sent to the linked POS4000 for verification.
1.1 Requirements and Limitations
• The minimum version for the POS4000 is v8.25, and v5.53 for the WSII.
• Code Length: 6 or 7 digits. Some external POS systems that require a 5-digit code will
not work with the Remote Code POS4000 (i.e., Verifone Ruby).
Note: Unitec highly recommends using 7 digit codes if possible to reduce the chances of
jackpotting codes.
• Maximum number POS4000 consoles:
o 6 digit code – 3 Masters plus their remote consoles
o 7 digit code – 4 Masters plus their remote consoles
• External POS connection to POS4000: Allowed only on Master console
• Maximum number of WSII Units: 1 Primary and its’ secondary units
• Maximum code sales per day: 190
• Maximum code age: 60 days
• Capacity of used code history: 90 days after sales date or 12000 codes – whichever
comes first
