First Ball - Foul
When a bowler steps on the foul line, a beam of light over the foul line is interrupted. A signal is then
sent to the Pinsetter CPU. The pinsetter must sweep all pins and set ten new pins. The bowler receives
zero pins for the first ball and has only one chance to knock down the new pins. Refer to
Figure 4-10.

1. A foul signal is sent to the Pinsetter CPU.
2. A ball detect occurs.
3. In response to the ball detect signal the sweep release solenoid energizes to lower the sweep into
the guard position actuating switch “G”. The ball door solenoid energizes, locking the ball door
for three seconds.
