power it back up after making the serial baud change.

code key) are not the correct wash type.
Cause: The POS Offset value may need to be adjusted or the POS MAX

port when connected to a PC laptop computer. This package is called
“POSTEST” and is available at a small cost to Field technicians.
Appendix H. APPENDIX VII - Multiple Unit Configuration
The POS4000 system is capable of controlling multiple customer interfaces
(carwashes or bays) and multiple points-of-sale (POS4000 consoles). This is a
Standard feature for Version 2 units. If this feature is not present and you want
to acquire it, you should contact your carwash sales representative to order a
software upgrade. The same version of software must be used on each console
you have on the same system. In addition, the software in the Coin boxes must
also be of the same version if you are using coin boxes with the Unitec POS4000
interface board. If you are using multiple Hamilton Autotecs please contact
Hamilton MFG for any questions on compatibility.
Each console and customer interface board is connected to the 2-wire
communication network and is assigned a unique unit number or address. A
single POS4000 controller (main) console must act as the network controller.
The terms unit number and address are interchan
