Section 3: Pinsetter Electronics 3-39
During the alternative de-tangle sequences, the drive motor will shut o to release the string tension
and allow the pins to lower towards the pindeck. After two seconds, 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 two seconds. After ve failed attempts to correct the problem, the motor will shut o for
ve seconds to allow the pins to lower to the pindeck. The motor then turns back on to lift the pins to
begin the next 5 attempt sequence.
This shaking pattern will continue until the strings are no longer tangled, a service person turns o the
machine and manually corrects the problem, or the six pin lowering sequences have been attempted. If
each sequence is performed without successfully de-tangling the pins, the motor shuts o to lower all
pins to the pindeck, the trouble light on the pinsetter with ash to indicate a problem, and the Controller
will display a “Tangle-01” error code. Refer to Figure3-29.
