Important
This document contains information on electrical, installation, conduit, and lighting for Brunswick
automatic scorers. It also contains the information necessary for the preparation of a site conforming
to Brunswick specications. Any deviation from these specications could cause problems to your

When planning to install Brunswick electronic scoring equipment, the customer is required to provide
an electrical sub panel which is solely dedicated to the scoring systems with a neutral and ground buss.
These requirements are necessary to prevent electrical noise and damage from lightning strikes. An
improperly grounded system can also result in memory losses, erroneous signals, and/or component
failures. The scoring sub panel must be installed by a licensed electrician and must meet all local and
national codes.
SURGE SUPPRESSION
A transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) is supplied with the scoring system. The installation
of this device is the responsibility of the customer through a licensed electrician. The unit will be
installed on the “Pinsetter” AND “Scoring” sub panels. This unit is designed for the most demanding
environment and incorporates multistage ltration in its design. The sine wave tracking series is
engineered to remove the more complex disturbances found in the electrical environment, in particular,
high and low voltage ringing transients and harmonic activity.

BRUNSWICK’S RESPONSIBILITY
Brunswick scorer consoles are shipped with the necessary hardware for wood and cement oor
installations. The aircraft cable for suspending the overhead monitors will be supplied by Brunswick.
POWER CONDITIONING
In some areas, additional power conditioning or uninterrupted power supply (UPS) equipment may be
required to insure optimum performance of your scoring equipment. The purchase and installation of
any power conditioning equipment is the responsibility of the customer, including a UPS system. If
the bowling center is located in an area that has a history of frequent power failures or interruptions,
the customer is advised to contact the Brunswick Electronic Repair. The Brunswick Electronic Repair
Department will assist the customer with any additional equipment specications or Brunswick
approved power conditioning equipment required.
