Procedure 2-2, String Adjustment
Good string adjustment is the key to the proper operation of the TMS pinspotter. Perform
the string adjustment before attempting any other pinspotter adjustment.
For software version 2.14 and newer, do the following:
1. If not already ON, turn on power to the pinspotter. With the machine game set in
10PinSwap (the setting for the controller at the rear of the machine) start the stop pins
into their holes, but do not press all the way in.
2. Start the string adjustment process by pressing HOME on the keypad. If already in
MECH mode, the machine will not ask for a password. Otherwise, the control box
will ask for a password. Enter the MECH password
(down>left>up>right>up>left>down). The pinspotter drawbar will drive to the rear
of the machine and stop at the HOME position and hold there for 10 seconds.
3. During the 10-second wait period, push the stop pins fully into their holes. After the
10-second wait period, the drawbar will move forward and rest on the stop pins.
Once that happens, the control box will detect that the drawbar has stopped moving
and will shut the machine off. Turn OFF the AC power. Apply LOTO procedure to
ensure that AC power cannot be reapplied during the string adjustment.
4. Unlock and open the plastic cover at the front of the machine and the main top cover.
This provides access to the string take-up reel assemblies.
