O
PERATION
The operation of the bowler terminal consoles is very simple. There are two bowler
terminal console models: the standard bowler terminal and the lower monitor bowler
terminal. When a key is depressed on the keyboard, the printed circuit board
detects/transmits the signal and data to the BOSS Scoring system through the
communication cables.
Using the bowler terminal is easier than prior years because everything is user friendly.
The customer enters information into the keyboard and glances at the overhead
monitors to see that everything has been entered correctly. If an error has been made
when entering the information, then follow the procedures that are presented on the
screen to correct the data. The customer can enter the information using the bowler
terminals by viewing the menus as they are displayed on the screens 14-inch (35.46
cm), 27-inch (68.58 cm), or 34-inch (86.36 cm) monitors.
The standard and lower monitor bowler terminal operates from low voltage AC power
that is supplied from the BOSS Scoring system. The low voltage AC power is converted
to regulated DC power on the bowler terminal printed circuit board and is used to power
the microprocessor chip that controls all functions in the bowler terminals.
The major components of the standard bowler terminal are the keyboard, bowler
terminal PCB, pedestal, speaker and front cover assembly. If you have purchased the
standard bowler terminal with the LCD display upgrade, then the additional component
is the LCD display unit. If you have purchased the standard bowler terminal with the
intercom upgrade, then the additional components are the intercom speaker, intercom
board.
The major components for the lower monitor bowler terminal are the keyboard, bowler
terminal PCB, intercom PCB, 14-inch (35.46 cm) monitor, speaker, electronic plate
assembly, pedestal, and the intercom system. If any of these components are not
correctly functioning, the bowler terminal will need to be serviced.

EATURES
The standard bowler terminal has the following features being, durable, easy to use,
and easy to maintain. The latch swing door is an added feature that ensures the
mechanic easy access to repair/replace any major component that fails in the bowler
terminal.
The lower monitor bowler terminal is modular in design, and easy to use. It operates
very similar to the standard bowler terminal. There are advantages to having the lower
monitor bowler terminal. It gives the bowler an opportunity to immediately see the
results of his score or data being entered without looking up at the overhead monitors.
You do not need overhead monitors if you have the lower monitor bowler terminal.
