Auto Sentry Petro Island Specications
NOTE 1: 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.
NOTE #2: 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.
NOTE #3: The height of the island, above the nal nished 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.
NOTE #4: 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 Trac gate.
Bollards should be located so that they provide protection to ICS equipment but also oer ample clearance so that the
equipment can be easily installed and maintained.
NOTE #5: Any canopy that is above both the Auto Sentry and the optional Trac 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.
NOTE #7: WARNING: (If optional Gates are installed) Do not install bollards or any equipment within 20”clearance of the
gate housing and gate arm. This is to prevent crushing and allow the gate arm to break away properly.
