Application Notes: Car Wash

Car Wash PDF

Electromechanical relays and switches play crucial roles in the operation of car wash equipment. They help control various systems and ensure the smooth functioning of the car wash process. Typically they are used to control motors and pumps, timers and sequencers, vehicle position detection, and CIT antivandal switches are heavily used in switch panels for an appealing user interface.
