General about A.P.I. A065 Series
The A.P.I [Advanced Pinsetter Interface] is the latest Steltronic designed pinsetter interface; it has
two boards, which are contained in one box. One A.P.I. controls one or two pinsetters (one pair of
lane).
The CPU board is the “ logic “ part of the interface, it communicates with the lane computer via a
serial connection. The interface software is installed onto local EEPROM (flash memory), this can be
updated via software from the Front Desk. The pinsetter selection is made using dipswitches as well
as through software.
The I/O board constitutes the “physical interface” which changes depending on the type of pinsetter;
the model A065 series is a standard for vary pinsetter, included Via Bowling (MC2) and Switch
pinsetters
As all models of A.P.I. the A.p.i. modle A065 use the
CAB-Y-CA0092
cable to interface and receive
power from the lane computer.
General installation notes

Position the A.P.I. interface near the pinsetter (example, on the curtain wall), keeping the
connectors on the way to facilitate the installation.
•
Optional: Position a plastic conduit near the API, (about 4 x 2 cm or 1½ x 1 inches in size) to
run all cables through.
