Please read, understand, and follow all of the recommended safety statements and
procedures presented in this manual.
• Remember that safety must remain your first priority at all times.
• The doors to the maintenance area must be locked at all times. No unauthorized
personnel should be allowed in the pinspotter/maintenance area.
• Do not enter the pit area from the front of the pinspotter or through the pin elevator.
Enter the machine using the moveable gate guard.
• The XLi EDGE QubicaAMF pinspotter performs a series of mechanical and electrical
actions during each cycle, and bodily injury or death could result should personnel
enter the machine when power is on. When working in a pinspotter, it is
recommended that power be turned off on adjacent machines.
• Safety goggles and safety shoes are recommended whenever any work is being
performed on a pinspotter.
• Wearing loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair is NOT recommended when operating
or maintaining the machinery.
• Use a pin hook to clear pin jams if possible. If it is necessary to enter the hazard
area, shut down and de-energize the pinspotter before entering.
• Never reset the Safety System when someone is inside the hazard area. Never place
the machine into service with any part of the safety enclosure removed.
Additionally, pinspotters have a number of built-in features and components as well as
various warning labels that are designed to minimize and warn against the risks
associated with this equipment. Heed all warnings and do not defeat the safety features
that come with your pinspotters. Some of the warning labels you could observe on the
pinspotter are shown on the following pages.

general caution. It is often mechanic should read,
used in conjunction with understand, and follow the
other symbols. technical manual before
servicing the machine.
It is also important to note that the use of these symbols is not all-inclusive because it is
impossible to warn of all the possible hazardous consequences that might result from
failure to follow these instructions.

2. Place the Machine Power circuit breakers for both pinspotters on the Control
Chassis in the OFF position.
3. Open and Lock the Mains Disconnect Switch on the Safety Control E-Stop Box.
Note: If both pinspotters of the pair are being worked on by different technicians, one of
the technicians working on each pinspotter must place a lock on the Mains
Disconnect Switch. If both pinspotters are being worked on by the same
technician, then only one lock is required.
4. Open the Main Power Circuit Breakers at the Mains Distribution Panel.
5. For pinspotter access that requires removing common guards or for removing
carpet rollers or carpet belts, perform Steps 1-4 for the adjacent pinspotter.
6. For entry into the Safety Control E-Stop Box for any reason (such as to remove
the Control Chassis or to replace fuses), open (lock open if the breaker is
capable of being locked open) and tag the Logic Power Breaker for that
pinspotter pair in the Electrical Distribution Panel. This breaker could supply
Logic Power to more than one pair of pinspotters.
2. Place the Machine Power circuit breakers for both pinspotters on the Control
Chassis in the OFF position.
3. Open the Mains Disconnect Switch on the Safety Control E-Stop Box.
2. Place the Machine Power circuit breaker on the Control Chassis for the affected
pinspotter in the OFF position.
The Masking unit is equipped with a light curtain that will also shut down the pinspotter
pair if the beam is interrupted. It is positioned to allow a bowling ball to pass under the
beam without tripping the unit.
There are also emergency stop (E-Stop) switches positioned at the front and rear of the
pinspotter pair. One switch is located on the box located just below the control chassis
at the rear of the machine pair. Another switch is located at the front of the pinspotter
pair between the crossbeams, and a third switch is located at the front end of the
walkway that separates pinspotter pairs. Pressing any of these E-Stop pushbuttons will
shut down the pair of pinspotters.
Each pair of pinspotters has its own independent safety system. When maintenance is
required, the following actions must be performed. If any machine disassembly is required
(not simply loosening hardware to allow adjustment), a complete lockout and tagout is
required.
• Open the main power breakers on the pinspotter chassis for both pinspotters.
• Open and lock out the disconnect switch on the Safety Control E-Stop Box.
• Remove only the guard(s)/enclosure panel(s) required to perform the maintenance.
• Once maintenance is complete, replace all guards and enclosures, reset the
E-Stop and light curtain circuitry, and place the breakers on the pinspotter chassis
in the ON position.
The different types of guards on a standard pair of pinspotters include: (refer to Figure 3.)
1. Interlocked Pin Elevator Screen Guards 6. Rear Enclosure Panels
2. Ball Lift (PBL) and Light Ball Sensor Guard 7. Common Kickback Enclosure
3. Center Walkway with Screen Enclosure Panels 8. Curtain Wall Access Guard Rails (optional)
4. Interlocked Gate Guards 9. Mask Enclosure and Separator Panels
5. Wide and Narrow End Walkway Enclosures 10. E-Stop, Light Curtain, and Magnetic
Switch Safety Circuits
Also, there are tread plates and ladders for walkway and pit access.

Fuses
The Safety System circuitry contains four fuses designed to protect the components and
circuitry in the event of a short circuit or component failure. A 1-amp, 5 x 20-mm fuse
located in a fuse holder on top of the CE Safety Control Box is used to protect the low
voltage DC control power circuitry. Additionally, there are two 10-amp, 10 x 38-mm
Class CC fuses and one 3-amp 10 x 38-mm, Class CC fuse located inside the Safety
Control E-Stop Box that are used to protect the pinspotter components and logic
circuitry. The Class CC fuse holders are equipped with blown fuse indication and can
be accessed by turning off power and removing the Safety Control E-Stop Box front
cover. When replacing a fuse, USE AN IDENTICALLY SIZED AND RATED FUSE
ONLY! Refer to the drawings at the back of this manual for ratings and part numbers.
For example, if the light curtain was tripped along with the Front E-Stop, LED #7 will be
illuminated (even though the light curtain beam is no longer blocked). Once the light
curtain reset pushbutton (located at the front end of the center platform walkway) has
been pressed, LED #7 will go out and LED #6 will come on indicating that the Front
E-Stop is in a tripped condition.
Each pinspotter pair has its own Safety Control E-Stop Box. The resulting output circuit
is connected to the CE Safety Control Box located behind the Control Chassis.
Light Curtain
In front of the pinspotters attached to the mask stanchions are a transmitter and a
receiver that function to provide a safety system shutdown of the pinspotter pair. The
transmitter has infrared LEDs that emit a curtain of light that passes across the lanes
between the mask stanchions and is detected by the receiver. If the beam is
interrupted, either by unlatching the mask panel frame or by something passing through
the beam, a signal is sent to the CE Safety Control Box which then shuts down the
pinspotters. There is one transmitter and one receiver per lane pair. The transmitters
and receivers are positioned so that a bowling ball can pass along the lane and not
cause a shutdown.

Some screen guards are removable without the use of tools to allow access for
maintenance and adjustment. These guards contain magnetic switches monitored by
the safety system relay, UE48-2OS, located within the CE Safety Control Box. The light
curtain will also cause a shutdown if the light beam is interrupted by attempting to enter
the hazard area by passing under the masking.
The safety relay contains logic circuits that combine with safety circuits that have built-in
redundancy (dual contacts, relays, etc.) to ensure the system will act to place the
pinspotters in a safe condition when necessary. If the problem persists and cannot be
reset, repairs must be performed only by qualified safety personnel. Do not attempt to
make any modifications to the safety circuitry. Refer to the UE48-2OS operating
instructions (see Attachment 2) for more information relating to the safety system relay.
Neither pinspotter of the pair can be started unless the red E-Stop buttons have been
pulled out, all of the removable screen guards are in place, the light curtain shutdown (if
activated) has been reset, and the blue Safety Relay Reset button on the Control E-Stop
Box has been pressed. Only after resetting the safety system will it be possible to clear
the E-Stop trip on the chassis and restart the pinspotters. All safety system trips will shut
down both associated pinspotters.
General Maintenance
Keep the equipment clean. Periodically wipe down surfaces to keep them free of oil
and dust accumulation. Clean areas thoroughly after maintenance.
Chassis Removal
If any maintenance or repair activity requires removal of the chassis, in addition to
unplugging all of the chassis electrical connections, it is necessary to lock out and tag
out the pinspotter pair at the mains source because removal of the Safety Control E-
Stop Box front panel is required for chassis removal. Refer to the Chassis Manual, 400-
088-009, for chassis-related information.
Semiannually
Verify that all safety enclosure hardware is installed. Tighten any loose hardware or
electrical connectors.
Inspect the non-skid tape on the rungs of the pit access ladders and replace as needed.
Inspect the exposed wiring for fraying or damage. Replace as needed. Verify wiring is
secured away from any moving parts. Reattach as needed.
Verify that the gap between the magnetic switch and the actuating magnet on each of
the pit access gates and curtain wall access gates (if installed) is even and is between
two and three millimeters (2 - 3mm). The magnetic switches on the pin elevator screen
guards are not adjustable.
To adjust:
1. Shut down the pinspotter pair.

NOTE: Before beginning the alignment of the light curtain sensors, the CE MASK LIGHT
CURTAIN ASSEMBLY (088-200-445) and CE MASK LIGHT CURTAIN FINISH KIT (088-200-
449) must be installed per the instructions and specifications given in the Installation Manual
(400-090-013 section XVI).
Because issues have been seen maintaining alignment of the light curtain bracket on mask legs
made from wood, the reinforcement kit (088-200-593) should be installed with the 088-200-446
revision C bracket before alignment of the Light Curtain using the detector.
The Light Curtain IR detector is composed of four lines of Infrared Photodiodes driving green
LED Indicators arranged in a cross “+”. The detector is powered by 3 AA batteries (LR6) and
has tabs for mounting to the BRACKET.
The light curtain will respond to the infrared light transmitted by the light curtain. When a
photodiode or the detector is fully in the transmitter beam, the corresponding LED will be fully
illuminated; when close to the edge of the transmitter beam the corresponding LED will be
proportionately dimmer.
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn off all light sources (overhead, Pinspotter, etc.) before
beginning alignment but if the detector does not respond as expected during use turn off
overhead lights and attempt alignment again.
1. Begin with the last receiver in the string of continuous lane pairs; Distinguished by being
on the far right from the bowler’s perspective with only a light curtain receiver mounted in
the bracket.
2. Align the bracket so that it is vertical. If necessary shims may have to be added behind
the bracket so that the bracket is vertical.
3. Position the detector onto the bracket covering the receiver and turn the detector on.
Note the indicators on the transmitter will change from all green to a single red indicator
indicating that the receiver is blocked, but the transmitter will continue to function.
4. If the detector operates erratically it may be necessary to turn off the center overhead
lights and turn off or block off the upstream lights from other Pinspotters.
5. The detector’s LED’s will indicate the position of the transmitter beams.
Correct alignment is indicated by equal numbers +/-1 of the detector LEDs being
illuminated vertically and horizontally from the center of the cross “+”.
6. Adjust the transmitter of the lane pair on which the detector is mounted and covering the
receiver.
a. If the vertical axis is not aligned:
i. Loosen the two ¼-20 screws securing the light curtain transmitter bracket
to the mask leg.
ii. Adjust angle of the transmitter bracket up or down until the vertical axis is
correctly aligned.
iii. Tighten the two ¼-20 screws securing the bracket to the mask leg.
b. If the horizontal axis is not aligned:
i. Loosen four M3 screws securing the light curtain transmitter to the
bracket.
ii. Adjust the transmitter left or right until the horizontal axis is correctly
aligned.
iii. Tighten four M3 screws securing the light curtain transmitter to the
bracket.
7. Remove the detector from the bracket covering the receiver and turn the detector off. All
indicators on the transmitter and receiver should change color to green.
8. Align the light curtain receiver to the transmitter as follows:
a. Loosen the four M3 screws securing the light curtain receiver.
b. Insert the wrench thru the opening on the back of the bracket to engage the
receiver.
c. Slowly rotate the receiver left until the indicators on the associated transmitter
change color from green to red; note and mark the position of the left side of the
wrench on the bracket.
d. Slowly rotate the receiver to the right until the indicators on the associated
transmitter change color to green and then red; note and mark the position of the
right side of the wrench on the bracket.
e. Slowly rotate the light curtain receiver to a position centered between the two
previously marked positions.
f. Secure the light curtain receiver by tightening the four M3 screws.
9. Test the alignment by pushing the mask legs side to side and back and forth.
10. Proceed to the adjacent lane pair; normally the receiver is mounted in the same bracket
as the just previously adjusted transmitter. Repeat steps 3 to 8 until all lane pair’s
transmitter/receiver pairs are aligned.
11. If there is a separation such that there is another bracket that only has a receiver
installed repeat steps 2 to 8
