A Dual Drive-Thru (see Figure 4) is comprised of two completely separate drive-thru systems, each with its own
lane, usually on opposite sides of the building, its own order point, and one or two drive-thru windows for
payment and pick up. The simplest dual drive-thru is two single drive-thrus, but it is possible to have dual
tandem, dual side-by-side, or even a combination of different drive-thru types.
Number and Configuration of Basestations
Figure 4.
Only one G5 Basestation Model G5B1 is required to support a Single Lane or Dual Lane operation. Single Lane
basestations do not have the Dual Lane functionality activated. Dual Lane basestations come with Dual Lane
functionality already enabled at factory.
Regardless of the type of Dual Lane, in the event you are attempting to upgrade a previously purchased Single Lane
basestation to operate in Dual Lane, the basestation’s Dual Lane functionality must be activated. To activate this Dual
Lane functionality, you must purchase the

5206-6. See Appendix: Upgrading a Single Lane Basestation to a Dual Lane” on page 71, on how to upgrade from
a Single to a Dual with the software purchase.
Number and Type of Vehicle Detectors
G5 Basestation Model G5B1 can accommodate up to two vehicle detectors; one for each Lane’s Order Point.
There are two basic types of vehicle detector output signal: presence and pulse.
Presence detectors are most common. They tell the base station when a vehicle is present over the detector.
They remain active as long as the vehicle stays within the range of detection.
Pulse detectors are less common. They tell the base station when a vehicle has arrived, but have no mecha-
nism to know if or when the vehicle leaves. An air hose is typically used to provide the pulse signal when a
vehicle rolls over it.
