I. End Cleaning Distance Travel Adjustment
When the machine is installed the End Cleaning Travel
Distance should be checked.
This distance is different in each bowling center around
the world. These vary because of specification tolerances
that are allowed during the construction of the lanes.
Always leave a margin of error when setting the end cleaning
distance. This can be accomplished by starting the machine
a couple of inches past the foul line when making this
adjustment.
Making sure that the machine is traveling the correct
distance is important to how well the pindecks are cleaned.
If the pindecks are not getting cleaned well enough, the
pins slide more, creating Out-of-Ranges. This is an
unnecessary call for any bowling center.
To check the End Cleaning travel distance press the
Monitor
button after the starting lane, ending lane, and
program number has been entered.
The
Monitor
button must be pressed after the START key
is pressed, but before the start button is depressed on the
handle for the first time. Pressing the Monitor button a
second time will exit this screen.
After pressing Monitor the display will change to:
0000 #01 IS NEXT
PDCNT 0730 FS03
When the machine is placed on the lane and the start
button on the keypad is depressed, the counter will start
counting down from 730.
PDCNT 0730
is the length of the
lane in inches, which is counted by the LDS sensor.
FS
means
failsafe
. The failsafe switches are located
in the cleaning end. These switches (2) are actuated when
the cushion roller drops off the end of the lane. Upon the
PC receiving the signal from the failsafe switches, the
machine is told to overtravel three inches, wind-up the
cloth, and then reverse.
