DIAGNOSTIC MODES
Trouble Diagnostics
The GS-X pinsetter monitors its function switches for proper operation and will shut down a pinsetter
if a fault is detected. When a problem occurs, the pinsetter will shut down and the status light on the
top of the elevator will start to flash. The error code displayed on the LCD Display of the mechanic’s
remote display can be used to diagnose the problem.
Contact Closure Diagnostics (Switch Diagnostics)
In addition to trouble diagnostics, the GS-X is capable of performing two diagnostic modes for testing
pinsetter operations; one mode, contact closure diagnostics, checks the switches on the pinsetter and
displays which switches are closed during the time the check is being made. This mode can be used to
verify that switches are working properly and the wiring between the Nexgen Controller box and the
individual switches is correct.
Machine Cycle Diagnostics
The machine cycle diagnostics, puts the pinsetter into a continuous operating cycle in which the
pinsetter operates as if it was in a ten pin bowling mode, with the following exceptions. Instead of
waiting for a ball detect, a five second time signal from the CPU starts the pinsetter cycle. The pinsetter
will continue to set, reset, sweep and reload pins as long as it is switched into the diagnostic mode.
Fouls will be ignored during the diagnostics. Diagnostic faults (failures) are active during diagnostics
and can stop the pinsetter if a jam or some form of failure is detected.
