Brunswick Sync - GS Pinsetters; No Scoring on One Lane or Lane Pair (GS Pinsetters)

12 Troubleshooting
GS Pinsetters
Circuit Description:
Scoring for all GS-Series pinsetters is generated in the pinsetter’s electrical box.
Nexgen and later Consolidated electronics are connected directly to the Peripheral Controller through
an RS-485 cable. Earlier Consolidated electronics and Universal electronic systems connect to the
Peripheral Controller via an interface called a GS-controller. Typically, if scoring errors occur for a
GS-pinsetter, the problem is in the pinholder(s) of the machine, an adjustment to the setting table such
as the stroke limiter or table level, or switch cluster timing. Fail to score situations may be attributed to
the ball detector, the interface box (if used), the electronics of the machine, or to the Distribution PCB
inside the Peripheral Controller.
