INVALID MACHINE STATES 0-5
These states are situations which the
Pinsetter CPU is not able to determine
where the table, sweep and spotting tongs
are. Most times this is caused by an
incomplete clearing of a table or sweep
jam by the mechanic.

8.
Check the position of the table, sweep and spotting tongs. Moving the
sweep to the fully forward position will normally allow the pinsetter to restart
itself.
The sweep is not making the "SM" switch in order for the table motor to
run.
The table is not "up" making the "A" switch in order for the sweep motor to
run.
Check the "SM" switch with the sweep forward.
Check the "G" switch the sweep up.
Check the "A" switch with the table up.
Check the "ST" switch with the tongs fully open.
Check the Nexgen Controller CPU PCB cables for proper connections,
both internally and externally.
EL
Pin Cnt
Pin count switch closed continuously.

4.
Pin jam at the Shark assembly pin guides.
Switch is stuck in the closed position.
The wiring between the Nexgen Controller and the switch is shorted.
The Nexgen Controller CPU PCB is defective.
EJ
Elev Jam
ELEVATOR JAM - Elevator shovels not
rotating properly. "EC" switch on
elevator not being pulsed by a pin
shovel at least once every 6 seconds.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Elevator pin shovel flipped and wedged in the elevator.
Pin caught in the elevator preventing rotation of the shovels.
Transport drive has a bind which prevents the rear
distributor shaft from rotating elevator fast enough to keep pulsing "EC"
switch.
Distributor motor defective.
Belt drive from the motor to the distributor shafts is too loose.
J1
TS1 Jam
JAM SWITCH TS1 - The switch is
made when the rear pin holder swing
shaft is unable to return to the
horizontal position after setting pins.
1.
2.
3.
A pin, broken part or tool is stuck in the table preventing rotation of the
swing shafts.
The TS1 jam mechanism is out of adjustment and allows the switch to be
made during proper rotation of the swing shafts.
The TS1 switch or its wiring to the Nexgen Controller is shorted.
J2
TS2 Jam
JAM SWITCH TS2 (TOWER) - This
switch is made when the table is prevented
from raising to its home
position.
1.
2.
3.
4.
A pin, broken part or tool is wedged between the table and distributor.
The table height adjustment is wrong allowing the table to be pulled up
against the distributor. Check the Angle "1" & "2" adjustment of the table
and the table height in the raised position adjustments.
Check the TS2 adjustment to make sure the spring tension is adjusted
properly.
The wiring to the Nexgen Controller is possibly shorted.

BALL ACCELERATOR- Thermal
protection activated or accelerator cable
not connected.
