Scoring Standalone Booting Procedure
Scoring Standalone Booting Procedure
This document outlines the procedures for placing QubicaAMF scoring systems into standalone mode, which enables
them to function independent of the Conqueror Pro/Conqueror X management systems. This process allows bowling
centers to continue to operate in the event of a systems failure or other emergency. The most common QubicaAMF
scoring systems are covered in the document.

Standalone Operation for VDB Scoring System

Standalone Operation for RDB & 3QT Scoring System
1. Locate the scoring switch, which is usually on the curtain wall that has the RDB or 3QT network cables
(Cat 5 cable) plugged into it (Figure 4—switches may look slightly different depending on the model). In
case of centers that are large enough to require multiple switches, locate the switch that is referred to as
the “master” switch, usually located in the middle of the curtain wall.
Figure 4
2. Once the master switch/only switch (usually under 30 lanes) is located, disconnect the power from this switch.
3. Reboot all of the RDBs or 3QTs by unplugging the power supplies and reconnecting them.

2. Select the desired environment (if the option is available for the center – Figure 6) by using the number
associated with that environment.

bowler (Figure 7). Once all names have been entered, press the “Red” key for the bowler keyboard with
the grey background (Figure 8) or the check mark for the console with the black background (Figure 9).
