Foul Detector Base Assembly
The Foul Detector base mounts above the underlane track. It should be positioned as square as
possible with the lanes for ease of alignment and proper operation. Each sensor has two lenses, one
used to emit the light signal, and one to receive it.
Note
- USBC equipment specifications require that “The beam of the foul detecting device shall be set
not more than 1/4 inch beyond the approach side of the foul line”. Be sure that the installation of your
Radaray unit complies with the USBC specifications.
The installation sequence is as follows:
1. Align the alignment marks on the sides of the foul detector
base (see Figure 1) with the approach side of the foul line
and mark the location of the three mounting holes using the
EDGE Radaray base as a template. Drill pilot holes as
necessary for the three mounting screws. A typical pilot
hole should be 5/32" in diameter.
2. Plug the ten-position connector on the foul detector cable (088-000-015) into the receptacle on the
back of the unit.
3. Secure the base with the three self-tapping #10 x 1" hex head screws provided.
4. Before installing the cover, complete the alignment procedure in accordance with section 2.2.
5. Once aligned, insert a lens in each opening in the sides of the cover, orienting the alignment tab at
the top of the lens with the recesses in the cover, and install the cover. Secure each side using the
1/4-20 x 1/2" screws provided.
The Foul Detector is prealigned at the factory. On installations where the mounting surface is level
and the foul detector is square to the lanes, additional alignment may not be necessary. In any event,
alignment should be verified after installation.
Each optical assembly accommodates a slight front to back and left to right adjustment. It is only
necessary to slightly loosen the mounting screws to align the optics.
An orange indicator lamp (LED) is built into the optical assembly and is used to indicate the proper
alignment of the optics.
When
NOT ALIGNED, the LED will be LIT. When ALIGNED, the LED will
NOT BE LIT.
To align the optical assemblies, use the following procedure:
Make certain that there is a clear path between the foul detector optics and the retro-reflector
mounted in the housing across the lane from the unit.
1. Turn on the Radaray from the pinspotter chassis or handheld unit (See Section 3.0,
Operation
).
