4. As the table lowers “OOR” switch closes to indicate the table entered the detection area.
5. The table will make a short stroke as it stops on the stroke limiter plate.
6. At switch “B” the Pinsetter CPU will read the pinholder switches and determine one or more
pins are standing. The CPU sends the pinfall information to the automatic scorer (if installed).
The spotting tong solenoid will energize and the tongs will be driven closed.
7. The cam passes switch “C” with no action.
8. As the cam actuates switch “D” the spotting tong solenoid is de-energized to stop the spotting
tongs from closing further.
9. The table rises with the pins in the tongs. The table motor turns off when switch “A” is closed.
10. The sweep motor turns on, pulling the sweep back then forward to clear the deadwood. When
the sweep wagon is fully forward once again, the “SM” switch closes causing the sweep motor
to turned off.
11. The table motor runs clockwise and the cam leaves switch “A” and travels to switch “D”.
12. When switch “D” is closed, the spotting tong solenoid is energized. Because the table motor is
now turning clockwise, the tongs will open leaving the pins on the pin deck.
13. The Cam passes switch “C” with no action.
14. At switch “B” the spotting tong solenoid de-energizes to stop the tong from opening further.
The pin holder solenoids will energize to open the grippers allowing ten pins to be loaded when
the table returns to home position.
15. The sweep release chain raises the sweep.
16. The table motor shuts off when switch ”A” is actuated.
17. The pinsetter is ready for a second ball cycle.
