Island Specifications
NOT 1E:
The length of the island should be determined by the car wash owner, but ICS recommends that the island be
a minimum of 18’ - 0” in length. This will provide for adequate space for the proper placement of the Auto Sentry and
its gate. If menu signs and other items are to be installed on the island, then it is the car wash owner’s responsibility to
increase the length of the island to accommodate these additional items. See Figure 4.
NOT #2E:
ICS highly recommends that the width of the islands be a minimum of 4’ - 6” for the safety of the attendants
when servicing. This measurement, along with the proper placement of the Auto Sentry, will prevent the rear of the Auto
Sentry from hanging over into another drive-thru lane and provides ample room for vehicles to pass through the lanes
without striking the rear of an Auto Sentry.
NOT #3E:
The height of the island, above the final finished grade upon which a vehicle will rest, must be 6”. This will
ensure that the Auto Sentry is at the optimum height for customers using the Auto Sentry while seated in their vehicles.
NOT #4E:
At the car wash owner’s discretion, the installation of bollards at the entrance end of the island is highly
recommended and will minimize the chances of vehicles striking and damaging an Auto Sentry or Traffic gate.
Bollards should be located so that they provide protection to ICS equipment but also offer ample clearance so that the
equipment can be easily installed and maintained.
NOT #5E:
Any canopy that is above both the Auto Sentry and the optional Traffic Gate must be a minimum of 12’ - 6”
from the base of the gate to the bottom of the canopy to allow the gate to open fully without striking the canopy.
NOT #6E:
The bill dispenser is in the base of the payment terminal and swings open 2’ – ½ “ towards the exit end of the
island. This must be taken into consideration when setting canopy posts and RFID trusses. When dual post canopies are
used, there must be a 2’ - 6” clearance on the right side of the payment terminal. If the inside width is not at least 60” then
the post must be mounted to the rear of the payment terminal which will require a minimum of 1’ - 6” from the Auto
Sentry. Contact an ICS Representative if there is any concern regarding canopy placement.
