CLEARING ERROR CODES AND CORRECTING PINSETTER STOP
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 StringPin 360 Controller, will shut down the machine and
flash the white Status Light located on top of the pinsetter. A code indicating the problem encountered
will be shown on the display of the 360 Controller.
NOTE: Some errors or problems with the pinsetter may not be detected by the StringPin Pulse
Controller. 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
StringPin Controller to the stop position.
2. Determine the reason for the stop. If the Status Light is flashing, look at the Controller Display
located on the rear of the pinsetter for an associated error code.
3. Perform the proper procedure according to the issue/error code.
4. Once the issue has been fixed, make sure that all unused parts, tools, and other mechanics are
clear of the machine.
5. Make sure that all guarding is in its proper fixed place. Re-install all guarding if it was
removed.
6. Once the machine has been cleared, toggle the STOP/RUN switches for each machine to the
RUN position to clear the error code. Press the Start Button to start the pinsetter.
7. If the machine did not restart, recheck the error code diagnostic display and start the procedure
over from step #1.
