BES X installation manual System components

1 System components
The core of the BES X scoring system is composed OF two units: the 4HD/5HD-HUB and the 4HD/5HD-CPU
units. Install both units for each pair of lanes present in the bowling center, as explained in this manual.
1.1 4HD-HUB and 5HD-HUB
IMPORTANT: the 5HD-HUB unit, P/N: 288250025, is supported by Conqueror Pro version 12.14.00 or
higher.
The 4HD-HUB, 5HD-HUB and the 5HD-HUB Rev.2 are the interfaces between the 4HD/5HD-CPU, the LCOM
devices (pinspotter interfaces, camera, etc.) and all the other 4HD/5HD devices (such as the console) with
the scoring network. The main functionalities of these units are to act as a network hub and supply power
for all the devices connected to it, except for the main (or slave) scoring network switch connected to the N1
connector, that does not take power from the 4HD/5HD-HUB/5HD-HUB Rev.2 unit. The turning on or off of
these units (by the plugging or unplugging of the power cord) will result in the turning on or off of the
complete pair of lanes. These units must be installed on the rear side of the curtain wall (or on the aisle
between each pair of pinspotters, if 90 XLi with CE safety kit are present).
There are three different versions of the 4HD-HUB unit. The latest version is called “4HD-HUB Rev.3”. The
main difference between the 4HD-HUB Rev.3 unit and the previous versions is the absence of the D1 and D2
ports on the 4HD-HUB Rev.3.
Starting from June 2020 a new version of the 5HD-HUB unit will be manufactured, with P/N: 288250025-02.
It will replace and be fully compatible with the previous versions (288250025 and 288250025-01). The
288401054 adapter is used with the 5HD-HUB (288250025-02 and 288250021-01) to manage the SuperTouch
console Rev.1.
In this manual, we will use 4HD/5HD-HUB as shorthand to refer to the three 4HD-HUB and three 5HD-HUB
versions for simplicity. We will use “4HD-HUB” and “5HD -HUB” version only when it is necessary to discuss
the characteristics or properties of a specific version.
1.1.1 Installation notes
The 4HD/5HD-HUB is the input/output device for the scoring system.
This unit communicates with the front desk through a standard network via the N1 connector and is
connected to all other devices by a standard network with Power Over Ethernet (POE). NEVER connect, for
any reason, a standard network device (such as a network switch) to a port different than the N1 port.
Connecting a standard network device to a port different from N1 may result in major damage to the device
or the 4HD/5HD-HUB unit itself.
The 4HD/5HD-HUB unit must be installed on the curtain wall, between the pair of pinspotters, in an easily
accessible position.
If installation on the curtain wall is not possible, the 4HD/5HD-HUB unit can be placed on the wall behind the
pinspotters.
If 90 XLi pinspotters with safety kit are present, install the 4HD/5HD-HUB on the panel located at the end of
the aisle present between each pair of pinspotters as explained in Table T.20.083.
The connection between the 4HD/5HD-HUB and the 4HD/5HD-CPU or the console are made with different
cables depending on the distance between the units:
