3.2.8 Ball Detector
Not provided when pinspotters are connecting to QubicaAMF Scoring
w/Qvision Camera
XLi Chassis software must be at version 4.02 & 16.14 or higher
The detector assembly contains two optical emitters/sensors, one for each lane.
Two three-position terminal strips are mounted to the base for connecting the
cable from the pinspotter chassis to the optical emitters/sensors. Mounting
holes are located near the outside edges of the base for securing the detector to
the kickbacks. See Figure 3-11.
3.2.8.1 Ball Detector Location
The ball detector and reflector assemblies must be properly aligned in order to
function correctly. The design of the detector greatly reduces the possibility of
crosstalk. Crosstalk refers to the light from one detector head shining directly
into another detector head because of the location or alignment of the
reflectors.
Detector Assembly
The detector assembly should be mounted on a rigid board (1 x 6 x 9.5”) that is
attached to the nose of the double kickback. The center line of the ball detector
should be 51.5 inches (1308mm) from the 7-10 line. On the XLi chassis, in the
settings menu, the ‘Ball Detector’ setting must be set to ‘BEHIND SWEEP’ or else
the sweep can cause the machine to shut down when it passes through the ball
detector beam.
Reflectors
The reflectors should be mounted on the nose of the kickback on the opposite
side of the lane centered at exactly the same distance from the 7-10 line as the
detector head (see Figures 3-11 and 3-12). A reflector assembly consists of a
mounting bracket upon which two rectangular pieces of retro reflective tape are
mounted, one for each adjacent lane.
LEDs
Inside each detector there are two light emitting diodes, one in each optical
emitters/sensors that indicate when the emitter/sensor alignment is correct. If
the LEDs are out, the emitter/sensor is in alignment. If the LED is on, no signal is
being sensed indicating that the emitter/sensor is out of alignment or the beam
is blocked.
