1.3.1. Electrical
1.3.1.1. A Lane Scores the Ball Thrown on the Pairs Opposite Lane
Environment:
Distribution board v5.0 and v6.0
Applicable Version(s):
All   
Issue:

One of the following occurs:

 

  • Single Lane: Either Lane assignment: Sweep drops and machine will not score on automatic trigger.
  • Lane Pair: One lane sweep drops and no scoring or triggering. Second lane drops the sweep and scores, and both cycle continuously.
  • Left pinsetter drops sweep and right lane cycles continuously after first ball.

 

Cause:

The Sweep Switch wiring is incorrect or reversed at the distribution board connections J1 Left and J2 Right.

Solution:

A. Ensure that the correct sweep switch cable from the pinsetter representing the odd and even lane is plugged into the proper odd/even lane ports J1 and J2 of the Distribution board.

  1. Turn on both lanes with sweep up.
  2. Remove distribution board cover.
  3. Power off both lanes.
  4. Manually drop either rake to confirm if the correct LED lights up for the lane that you dropped the sweep on.
  • On a V6.0 Dist. board, expect lights at LEDs: 

            D20 indicates when the right sweep is down.

            D26 indicates when the left sweep is down.

The below image is an example of a V6.0 Distribution board:

 

 

  • On a V5.0 Dist. board, expect lights at LEDs:

            D12 indicates when the right sweep is down.

            D14 indicates when the left sweep is down.
