TMS STRING PINSPOTTER OWNER’S MANUAL
400-051-010-01 Rev. Date: 7/17 Page 2-5
Warning: High voltage is present in the pinspotter control chassis, drive motor
controller, and pin detector circuit board. The main circuit breaker must
always be OPEN or the electrical power cord DISCONNECTED prior to
opening any cover that exposes electrical connections or circuits and
before performing any mechanical adjustment.
See Lockout/Tagout Procedure.
TMS Control Chassis Settings
The TMS control chassis provides the user with the means of changing a number of
parameters that can be used to set up or modify certain machine functions for optimal
performance. These settings can be accessed using the keypad and liquid crystal display
on the front of the chassis.
Section 1 provided a list of all the settings that can be made from the chassis as well as an
indication of the default settings. Sometimes it is beneficial for the pinspotter to be
configured differently in order accommodate your specific conditions and needs. The
following is a list of the electronic adjustments that can be made to customize the
machine’s operation along with some information to help you understand the
consequences and interactions associated with changing these settings. Not all setting
changes are discussed here because many of them are self-explanatory or are simple
on/off settings.
This section provides information concerning:
Pin Data Delay Continuous Cycle
Pin Detector Count Calibrate Drive
Pin Data Delay
This feature allows pin action to occur before the machine tallies the pin fall data. Once
the delay has elapsed, pin data is gathered very quickly, and any pins that fall over after
the delay will not be counted and will be reset for the second ball of the frame, if
applicable. The delay period starts when the ball detector detects the passage of a ball.
The default setting is three seconds, and sometimes this does not provide enough of a
delay to capture all of the pin fall. This is especially true for a very slow ball. By their
nature, the larger 10-pins (as compared to the smaller Highway66 pins, which also utilize
this pinspotter) are slower to react, and so this setting is adjustable so you can find a
happy medium between capturing all of the pin fall data without unnecessarily slowing
down play.
