The hall doors are controlled by the car
wash gantry control and by an external
door control. Difference is made between
summer and winter door control.
Summer door control
– Before the start of the wash, the doors
are open. The vehicle can drive in.
– The doors are closed at the start of the
wash.
– The doors are opened at the end of the
wash and stay open.
Winter door control
– Before the start of the wash, the entry
gate is closed and must be opened to
allow the vehicle to drive in. This can be
done, for example, by inserting a card
into the wash card reader.

"start" button on the wash card reader is
pressed), the entry gate closes.
– The doors are opened at the end of the
wash and are closed again after the ve-
hicle has driven out.
