Electrical Installation
Electrical Installation
Commander operates on
120 VAC, 60 Hz
with a Constant Voltage Transformer (CVT). This unit must be
hard-wired with conduit, and requires a dedicated power source. Under no circumstances should additional
equipment be operating off the dedicated power source for Commander.
If a dedicated power source is unavailable, cease installation until one is established.
Pulling Wires
The number of wires that must be pulled for Commander are shown in the table below:
THREE (3) WIRES
Electrical power (Hot, Neutral, and Ground)
NINE (9) WIRES
Eight (8) for washes
*
, one (1) common
TWO (2) WIRES
Cycle inhibit
TWO (2) WIRES
Optional
Wash in Service (WIS)
TWO (2) WIRES
Out of Service relay
SPARE WIRES
For future options
TWO (2) CONDUCTOR TWISTED SHIELDED CABLE
Optional

The Wash Interface supports up to eight (8) washes. If only offering four washes, you may pull five (5) wires instead of nine (9)
(four (4) for washes, one (1) common)
For proper operation of Commander, the wires listed above must be pulled and
terminated as explained on the following pages.
Wire Terminations
The wire terminations should proceed as follows:
CVT & POWER SUPPLY
(see Figure 6.1)
One side of the three power supply wires (120VAC HOT, 120VAC NEU, and 120VAC GND) should be attached
directly to the electrical service panel supplying power to the installation. A cable is already connected to
the utility box next to the CVT.
The exposed end of the power cable (located in the utility box) will make the connection between the
Commander CVT and the site’s electrical panel. This connection should be made with 14AWG wire and a
15AMP breaker at the site’s electrical panel, and terminated in the utility box. Wiring must remain accessible
after installation
for inspection purposes.
CAUTION! TO AVOID SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, ALWAYS DISCONNECT
POWER TO THE MACHINE WHILE SERVICING. ALL ELECTRICAL WORK
MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR.
