Continuous Cycle
While not actually a setting, the Continuous Cycle feature can lead to some confusion if
not clearly understood. This feature causes the machine to cycle every 30 to 35 seconds,
and is generally used for tests and demonstrations. The timing of the cycle is not user
adjustable. The Continuous Cycle feature contains two types of cycles: a continuous
cycle of all the pins, and a continuous cycle of a random selection of pins where a
different group of pins is set during each cycle. A prerequisite for placing a machine in a
continuous cycle is that the machine must first be in the Mechanics Mode.
To place the machine in a continuous cycle:
o Press the Mode pushbutton on the keypad
o Enter the general password (DOWN-LEFT-UP-RIGHT-UP-LEFT-DOWN). The
chassis will enter the Mechanics Mode.
o Press the Continuous Cycle pushbutton.
Several of the icons on the screen will begin flashing and the continuous cycle icon
will appear in place of the Mechanics Mode icon, but it will not be flashing.
To place the machine in the Random Pins cycle:
o While the machine is in a Continuous Cycle, press the Continuous Cycle
pushbutton.
The Continuous Cycle icon will begin flashing and the machine will begin setting
random groups of pins.
To exit from a Continuous Cycle condition:
o Press the Continuous Cycle pushbutton TWICE.
To exit from a Random Pins cycle:
o Press the Continuous Cycle pushbutton ONCE.
To return the machine to service:
o Press the Mode pushbutton to go from the Mechanics Mode to the previous Mode.
You cannot lock the keypad while in the Mechanics Mode, and the timeout
feature will not function.
o Press the EXIT pushbutton to lock the keypad.
