Warning
:
High voltage is present in the control chassis, drawbar drive
motor controller enclosure, and pin detector circuit board
assembly. Apply LOTO before servicing. The main circuit breaker
must always be OPEN or the power plug DISCONNECTED prior to
performing any service/repair to electrical components.
The control chassis and pin detector circuit board assembly contain
tamper indicators. Opening these enclosures voids your warranty.
Read This First
If you have a problem with your TMS Pinspotter System, always verify the following
points before replacing system components or calling technical support.

Check that you have electrical power to the system. Verify that breakers have not
been tripped.

Ensure that the LED on the ball detector comes on when the beam is obstructed .

sometimes cure a problem.

Review the troubleshooting items in this section.
Hint on Cabling Problems
There are generally two possible solutions to cabling problems. First, any one of the
connectors used with the cables may have become loose due to the constant vibration
generated from play. Second, a cable may be damaged by a machine component. Ensure
that all connectors are fully inserted to ensure its proper contact. If this fails to resolve
your problem, use a multimeter to verify the cable’s continuity. NEVER unplug a cable
by grasping the wire and pulling. Many of the connectors are designed to be held firmly
in place and have tabs that must be squeezed for the plug to be released.
When the humidity levels get too low, static electricity transported by people and
equipment can build up to enormous levels. These levels can be so large that even good
grounds will not stop the destruction of these static discharges. The recommended
relative humidity level for a bowling center is between 40 and 60 percent.
Retrace the ground wire installed with your equipment all the way to the building's main
ground. Never depend on the ground installed with your outlets, since many electricians
do not reliably install these grounds. If your equipment is not properly grounded, the
electronics can suffer significant damage when they receive a static electrical discharge.
