CLEARING ERROR CODES AND CORRECTING PINSETTER STOP
Although pinsetter stops that require a mechanic intervention occur infrequently, circumstances will
occur that make them inevitable.
When a pinsetter does experience a stop, the StringPin 360 Controller, will shut down the machine and
ash the white Status Light located on top of the pinsetter. A code indicating the problem encountered
will be shown on the display of the 360 Controller.

The following procedure should be used for correcting pinsetter stops or malfunctions.
1. When approaching the pinsetter from the rear, turn the STOP/RUN switch located on the
StringPin Controller to the stop position.
2. Determine the reason for the stop. If the Status Light is ashing, look at the Controller Display
located on the rear of the pinsetter for an associated error code.
3. Perform the proper procedure according to the issue/error code.
4. Once the issue has been xed, make sure that all unused parts, tools, and other mechanics are
clear of the machine.
5. Make sure that all guarding is in its proper xed place. Re-install all guarding if it was
removed.
6. Once the machine has been cleared, toggle the STOP/RUN switches for each machine to the
RUN position to clear the error code. Press the Start Button to start the pinsetter.
7. If the machine did not restart, recheck the error code diagnostic display and start the procedure
over from step #1.
