Brunswick StringPin - Page 28

2-18 Section 2: Overview
During the default de-tangle sequence, the drive motor will shut o to release the string tension and
allow gravity to lower all pins part way towards the pindeck. After one second, the motor turns back
on to raise the pins. If a tangle is still present it will again be detected by the de-tangle switch and the
motor will shut o for another second to lower the pins. After 5 attempts to de-tangle the strings, the
motor shuts o to lower the pins completely to the pindeck. After 2 seconds the motor turns back on to
lift the pins to begin another 5 attempt sequence. The pattern will repeat until the tangle is corrected
or the pattern has repeated 6 times (30 attempts). After 30 failed attempts to correct the problem, the
motor will shut o to allow the pins to lower to the pindeck, the trouble light will ash, and Controller
will display a “Tangle-01” error code. At this point a service person must turn o the machine and
manually correct the problem.
To further increase the chances that the de-tangle procedure will be successful, alternative shake
patterns can be selected on the Options screen of the 360 Controller. Unlike the default sequence where
all pins are lowered toward the pindeck, these options use the brakes within the PMI’s to produce a
repeating pattern during which only specic pins are allowed to lower. Refer to Figure2-18.
