MECH CALL
The mechanics call button has been pressed. Bowler needs assistance.
PINS FELL
Pins fall over while being set. Machine made several tries, but failed to set pins
successfully. Check for damaged pin bottom or debris on pin deck.
PIN BRAKE
String movement after brake solenoid has been actuated. Machine made several
attempts, but failed to set brake. Check solenoid operation. Check connections
on solenoid and pin detector circuit board. Adjust brake. Replace solenoid.
PIN ENCODER
Pins being raised or lowered, but not sensed by encoder. Encoder wheel stuck or
holes in wheels or optical sensors filled with debris. Faulty encoder. String
entangled inside machine.
STALLED
Drawbar cannot reach the forward position. Check for anything that prevents full
travel of the drawbar (jammed linkage, internal string tangle, etc.)
ENCODER
This error message is received when the expected drawbar motor counts are not
reached within a preprogrammed period of time. Drive system jammed. Check
for faulty chain adjustment. Object jammed in sprocket. Internal string
entanglement. Faulty drive motor or gearbox.
ENCODER?
Received invalid motor encoder counts. Encoder counts outside of expected
range. Restart control chassis. Faulty drive motor encoder.
LOS
Home position attained as determined by drive motor encoder counts, but Home
sensor not actuated. Incorrect Home sensor alignment or adjustment. Faulty
Home sensor. Check sensor cable connection.
PIN COMM
Communication error between chassis and pin detector circuit board. Check
connections. Faulty pin detector circuit board. Faulty chassis.
TANGLED
Machine failed to untangle strings after multiple attempts. Manually untangle
strings. Check string adjustment.
DETANGLE
Displayed while the machine is performing the string untangling routine.

Subsystem errors. All of these error messages signify that either the operating
software has not functioned correctly or a chassis control circuit has
malfunctioned. Attempt to restart the control chassis. Contact Technical Support
if the error does not clear. May be necessary to reload software. Faulty chassis.
