3.2.4 Machine Pit Time Delay
When the pinspotter is turned off at the Manager's Control Unit (MCU), Advantage
Front Desk, or BOSS Front Desk, all functions and motors, except the pinspotter
back end motor, become inoperative. A time delay allows the back end motor to
continue to operate for approximately 60 seconds to enable all of the pins in the pit
to be delivered to the bin and for the bowler’s ball to be returned to the ball rack.
(The machine pit time delay is built into the chassis).
3.2.5 Frame Counters
A frame count is provided for the manager's convenience so that the number of
frames bowled can be determined. This count is kept in the Chassis (total) and
Manager's Control Unit (MCU). This unit is located at the manger's control desk.
3.2.6 Bowler's Pit Signal System
A signal system is provided on the chassis for the center's convenience so that the
bowler has a method of notifying the maintenance man that a machine needs
attention. This system is both audible and visual through the chassis light tower
and beeper.
The bowler’s push button, also known as the mechanic call button, is located on the
ball rack. When the mechanic call button is pressed, the red and green lights on
the chassis light tower flash alternately and an intermittent audible beep is emitted.
The lights and sound remain on until cleared by the mechanic.
3.2.7 Tenth Frame Button
The tenth frame button, located on the end of the ball rack, is provided as a means
of cycling the machine when required. Whenever pins are left standing after a
game has been completed, the tenth frame button can be operated to signal the
machine to set up for the next bowler.
NOTE: Please refer to the Options and Profile Ball Return Manuals (P/N 612-
860-032 & 612-860-010) for more Information on functions of the
mechanic call and tenth frame buttons.
