Ball Detect Calibration Instructions
WARNING: Before adjusting the ball detector, turn the stop/run switches on the
pinsetter to the stop position. Failure to do this may result in personal injury
caused by pinsetter cycling when the ball detect’s beam is interrupted or the
pinsetter is turned on at the Control Desk.
The ball detect adjustment contains three screws that are used to align the units infrared beam with a
reector opposite side of the lane. Refer to the gure titled Ball Detect and Reector.
Ball Detect and Reector
(1) BALL DETECT (2) REFLECTOR
The red LED (Light Emitting Diode) mounted on the ball detect is “on” when the beam is not being
received back from the reector. This indicates a ball or some object is in the beam’s path or there is an
alignment problem. Refer to the gure titled Ball Detect Adjusting

1. Check the face of the ball detect and make sure it is parallel with the face of the ball detect’s
housing. Check the reector to see if it is mounted securely and parallel to the ball detect. Clean
the transmitter, receiver and reector before and after adjusting.
2. Cover the reector with a dark non-reective object. The red LED should be lit indicating the
beam is not being received.
3. Hold an unmounted reector in your hand and move it above, below and around the mounted
reector until the red LED goes “off.” This will indicate the position of the beam and guide you
in your adjustment.
4. Using the vertical and horizontal adjusting screws (refer to the gure titled Ball Detect
Adjusting) move the beam until it is aimed exactly on the center of the mounted reector.
