Section Rev. February 2009
4. The table lowers on top of the off spot pin stopping the table before it can close the “OOR”
switch.
5. At the “B” switch the Pinsetter CPU will ignore the pin holder switches, because the “OOR”
switch had not been actuated. The pinfall will have to be entered manually if scorers are
present.
6. The table motor continues to turn the cam past the “C” and “D” switches until the “A” switch is
closed.
7. The pinsetter will shut off at “A” switch with the sweep still down in the guarding position. The
trouble light will flash and the LED will display the error code “PO” or “Pin OOR”.
8. To clear the error, the mechanic must turn the stop/run switch on the Nexgen box or mechanic’s
rear control box off. It is not necessary to clear deadwood from the pin deck.
9. The mechanic must then turn the pinsetter back on to allow the pinsetter to resume operation.
(If Frameworx, Classic, or Vector scoring is involved, a score correction must be made at the
scorer console before the pinsetter can restart).
10. If pins need to be loaded into the pinholders, the table motor rotates the cam clockwise past
switches “D”, “C”, “B” until it returns to “A” to create a load opportunity. If ten pins are
already loaded into the pinholders the pinsetter will run the sweep (Step 14).
11. The Pinsetter CPU immediately energizes the sweep release solenoid to drop the sweep wagon
into the guarding position again, actuating switch “G”
12. Motor turns counterclockwise rotating the switch cam from “A” to “B” to “C” to “D”. At
switch “D” the pinholder solenoids energize to open the grippers.
13. Pins are loaded into the pinholders from the pin stations as the table returns to its home position
(switch “A”). The table motor turns off at switch “A”.
14. The sweep motor turns on, pulling the sweep back then forward to clear the pin deck. When
the sweep wagon is fully forward the “SM” switch closes and the sweep motor is turned off.
15. When all pin holders are loaded, the table motor runs clockwise and the cam rotates from
switch “A” and travels toward switch “D.”
16. As the table starts to lower, the stroke limiter solenoid is energized causing the stroke limiter
plate to be pulled back away from the T-stop. This allows the table to go down to the new pin
setting height and releases the swing shafts on the table allowing the pin holders to go into the
vertical pinsetting position.
17. The cam passes switch “D” and at switch “C” the pinholder solenoids energizes to open the
grippers, and leave the pins on the pin deck.
18. At switch “B” the pin holder solenoid de-energized closing the gripper.
19. As the table continues to rise, the 7 and 10 pin holder solenoids energize to open the grippers to
allow loading of the 7 and 10 pins if they are in the pin station.
20. The table motor raises the table and the sweep until switch “A” is closed.
