CLEARING ERROR CODES AND CORRECTING PINSETTER STOPS
Although pinsetter stops that require a mechanic intervention occur infrequently, circumstances will
occur that make them inevitable.
When a pinsetter does experience a stop, the Nexgen CPU, will shut down the machine and flash the red
status light located on top of the elevator assembly. A code indicating the problem encountered will be
shown on the display of the Nexgen box or the remote display terminal.
NOTE: Some errors or problems with the pinsetter may not be detected by the Pinsetter CPU.
Examples are ball accelerator problems or scoring errors. In these situations the status light will
not flash to indicate a problem.
The following procedure should be used for correcting pinsetter stops or malfunctions.
1. When approaching the pinsetter from the rear, turn the stop/run switch located on the
mechanic’s remote display terminal to the stop position. When approaching the pinsetter from
the front, power to the Nexgen box will automatically be disconnected when the masking unit
is lifted or the safety photo sensor in front of the machines is blocked, or the rear access door is
opened.
2. Determine the reason for the stop. Look for pins on shark switch assembly, distributor, or on
top of the setting table. If the status light is flashing look at the display located on the top of the
remote display terminal for an associated error code.
3. Clear the jam, repair or replace the failed part, or make the adjustment as appropriate. If
making the correction requires work to be done on the pindeck, ball accelerator, or pit area,
lower the sweep wagon to prevent a ball from entering the machine.
4. Re-install all guards and verify all interlock and sensors are in their proper position.
5. Restart the Safety Controller:
If the Green “Restart Photocell” LED is “On” press the photo sensor restart button to illuminate
the yellow “Ready for Restart” LED, then press the restart button. If only the yellow “Ready
for Restart” LED is “On” press the restart button.
6. Once the machine has initialized, toggle the STOP/RUN switches for each machine off/on to
clear the power failure (PF) code.
7. If the machine will not restart, recheck the error code diagnostic display. If an invalid state is
displayed, you must return the table (up) or sweep (forward) to its home position.
