INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The PinCam also has infrared sensors
that detect a bowling ball. When the
bowling ball breaks the “infrared beam”,
this informs the scoring system that a
ball was rolled, and then to detect the
standing pins for a score.
Since the sensors are normally mounted
on the PinCam baseplate, this presents a
problem when the PinCam is mounted on
top of the tunnel, now it’s impossible for
the bowling ball to break the beam of the
infrared sensor.
This means the sensors have to be
removed from the PinCam baseplate and
relocated for the bowling ball to be able to
break the sensor beam.
Steltronic has provided a bracket and
cover that will allow the sensors to be
relocated under the ball return drop
sweep, which is located in between both
of the pinsetter kickbacks.
However, it is preferable to mount the
sensors in a location that is in front of
the rake or sweep assembly so that the
motion of the rake or sweep does not
interfere with the scoring system thinking
that a bowling ball was rolled 3X.
