General Description 

Figure 1. VPS Components 

(1) VPS CHASSIS (2) BALL DETECT 

The Video Pinsensing System (VPS) is an electrical/optical device used to 

count standing pins and control the on/off operation of both pinsetters. The 

system uses a VPS chassis, a ball detect, and special pinsetter modifications 

to accomplish this. Refer to Figure 1. 

The VPS unit is mounted on the capping in the center of a lane pair so the 

front edge of the unit’s base is 151-1/2” (3.85 m) from the center of the last 

row of pins. Refer to Figure 2. The VPS unit uses two cameras that take a 

“video picture” of the pit area of both pinsetters. The picture is then analyzed 

by the VPS Logic Board. During the analysis, a portion of the picture is 

searched for shapes resembling pins. This is accomplished by searching the 

area of the video image using various preprogrammed templates. Once the 

templates have identified an image as a pin, the processor board refers to a 

user stored calibration to determine which pin caused it. This information is 

then sent to the scorer console where it is processed and displayed as a score. 

To provide the necessary timing, an infared ball detect is located near the drop 

sweep to ensure that the VPS scores only after a ball has been thrown. After 

the ball detection occurs, the VPS will take a picture of the pins on the pindeck 

either automatically after a preset delay or at the appropriate time during the 

pinsetter cycle through the use of switches added to the pinsetter. 


Figure 2. VPS Location 

(1) FRONT EDGE OF CHASSIS (2) BALL RETURN CAPPING 


The VPS consists of the following components: 

Ball Detect - The ball detect is an infrared device that senses when a ball has 

been thrown. The signal from the ball detect tells the VPS to begin the 

scoring cycle. 

Pinsetter Modifications - Switches added to the pinsetter to make sure the 

camera takes the picture at the proper time during the pinsetter cycle. Also 

additional components may be added to allow special pinsetter cycles for 

fouls, No Tap, and 3rd ball 10th frame situations. 

VPS Chassis - The VPS Chassis contains a two circuit boards (PCBs): the 

Logic PCB and the I/O PCB. The Logic board receives video from both 

cameras and analizes the video while the I/O PCB is responsible for 

interfacing to the pinsetter and scorer consoles.

VPS Chassis 

Figure 3. Rear of VPS Chassis 

The function of the components on the VPS I/O PCB are: 

The VPS Chassis uses two printed circuit boards to accomplish the functions 

of the VPS: the Logic PCB and the I/O PCB. All system cables are connected 

to this board through external connectors located on the rear of the chassis. 

Refer to Figure 3 for explanation of connections on rear of VPS chassis: 

(1) Ball/Foul (J7) - Signals from the foul unit and left and right lane ball 

detectors enter the PCB through this connection. 

(2) Left I/O (J5) - Connection for signals coming from the left (odd) 

pinsetter. Signals for the “take data” and 0° switches, second ball, and 

New Pins Solenoid control connect to the PCB here. 

(3) LLAN In (J3) - Connection for all LLAN communications to and from 

the I/O PCB located in the LGP. The VPS sends scores and recieves no 

tap and 3rd ball 10th frame, and pinsetter on/off information through 

this connection. 

(4) LLAN Out (J2) - Connection that allows the LLAN communication to 

continue to other devices on the lane pair. Typically, the TV-only 

monitor, Bowler Track, and/or an Instant Replay are connected to 

LLAN via this connector. 

(5) Power (J9) - Connection for power input to the VPS. The 28VAC used 

to power the VPS originates at the Secondary Transformer. 


Figure 4. Font of VPS Chassis 


(6) Right I/O (J4) - Connection for signals coming from the right (even) 

pinsetter. Signals for the "take data" and zero degree switches, second 

ball, and New Pins Solenoid control connect to the PCB here. 

(7) Serial Port (J6) - Not Used 

Refer to Figure 4 for explanation of components on front of VPS chassis: 

(1) Cameras - Location of the cameras for each lane. one camera is used 

exclusively for the left lane, while the other is used for the right one. 

These cameras can be replaced individually or as a complete unit. 

(2) Calibration Switches - Pushbutton switches that allow the mechanic to 

calibrate the VPS. One switch allows calibration of the left lane, while 

the other allows calibration of the right side. When pushed the VPS will 

automatically calibrate itself to the lane. 

NOTE: Calibration can only be performed for one lane at a time. 

(3) Mechanic Overide Switch - This switch allows that user to turn the 

pinsetters on and off manually in the event of a failure in the system or 

VPS.When set to the “Scorer Control” position, the LGP will control 

the on/off operation of each pinsetter through LLAN communication. 

When set to the “Mechanic Override” position, both machines will turn 

on. 

(4) Power Reset Switch - Push this switch to cycle the VPS Power.

The Logic PCB is responsible for analyzing the video images that it receives 

from the two camera mounted in the VPS Chassis. From this information the 

board determines the number of standing pins and sends the pin count to the 

VPS I/O PCB. 

There are no adjustments on the Logic Board. The only setup necessary to the 

VPS Processor Board is the triggering of a calibration when the chasiss is first 

installed. Refer to Figure 5.

J8 

The VPS I/O PCB is reponsible for interfacing to the components external to 

the VPS such as the pinsetters, foul units and the scorer consoles for the lane 

pair. 

For the pinsetters, the board is responsible for turning the pinsetters on/off at 

the appropriate time(s) and controlling the pinsetter cycle for special situations 

such as first ball foul, third ball 10th frame, and no tap strikes. During scoring 

operations, the board monitors switches added to the machine to determine 

when it is time to score. 

Once a score is determined (by the logic PCB) the I/O PCB sends this 

information directly to the LGP via the LLAN Cable. In the event the board 

receives a foul signal from the Tel-E-Foul unit, it will send an "F" in place of 

the pin count. Refer to Figure 6 and 7.

VPS Camera 

The VPS uses two cameras to obtain pin information. One camera is dedicated 

to the left lane while the other is dedicated to the right one. The cameras are 

designed so that they can be easily as replaced as a complete unit. 

After replacing the camera(s) no physical alignment is necessary. All that is 

required, is triggering a calibration for the new camera. 

To replace the camera perform the following procedure: 

1. Disconnect the incoming power cable connected at J9 VPS Unit. 

2. Remove the cover from the VPS chassis. 

3. Disconnect the camera video cables from connectors J4 and J8 of the 

Logic PCB. 

4. Remove the 4 Phillips head screws located at the front of the VPS. 

5. Remove the Camera assembly. 

6. Reverse steps 1 - 5 to reinstall the new cameras. 

7. Calibrate the VPS. 

VPS Setup and Calibration 

Three steps are required to configure the VPS. First, the lane pair 

configuration must be entered through the scorer console. Second the 

information entered must be stored in the VPS. And finally the VPS must be 

calibrated. These steps can be accomplished through the maintenace menu of 

the scorer and the calibration buttons at the front of the VPS chassis.

lane. 

3. Make sure that the masking unit is lowered to the normal “bowling” 

position. 

4. Momentarily press the calibration pushbutton swtich for the lane 

needing calibration. Wait until the image LED begins flashing and the 

calibration LED is lit before continuing to next step. 

5. Repeat step 4 for the other calibration switch if calibration of both lanes 

is desired. 

6. Bowl on the lane pair to verify proper scoring. 

Note: Step 4 can also be performed using the scorer maintenace menu 

selection titled “Start Calibration”

Ball Detect 

Figure 8. VPS Ball Detector 

The VPS uses a ball detector that is an infrared sensing device. The ball 

detector unit is made up of two infrared transmitters and receivers, one for 

each lane. Within each lane unit there are two lenses, one to focus the 

transmitted infrared beam toward the retroreflector on the opposite side of the 

lane, and one to focus the return light from the reflector onto the infrared 

receiver. A red indicator LED turns off when the infrared beam is blocked. 

Refer to Figure 8.

Ball Detector Adjustments 

The Ball Detector Assembly uses an infrared light which cannot be seen 

without an optical aid. Therefore, it has a red indicator light on the face of the 

unit that will light when sufficient infrared light is reflected back to it. Refer 

to Figure 8. 

To center the infrared beam on the reflector, use the following steps: 

1. With power on to the VPS, cover the reflector so the red indicator light 

on the ball detector unit turns off. 

2. Using another reflector, start above the covered reflector and slowly 

move the second reflector down toward the first while holding it square 

to the ball detect unit. Continue to move it downward until the red light 

goes out. Note the position of the second reflector. Refer to Figure 9.

3. Repeat the same procedure but start below the covered reflector (in the 

ball gutter) and move up until the light goes on. Note that position. 

4. Repeat the same procedure starting from the left of the covered reflector 

and then from the right until you have located the relative position of 

the infrared beam. 

5. If the beam is not centered on the covered reflector, it can be adjusted 

usig the two adjustment screws located on the top of the unit. Refer to 

Figure 8. 

6. After each adjustment, recheck the beam's location with the second 

reflector and procedure detailed above.

Brunswick A-2 Pinsetter Modifications 

Switch Cluster 

Figure 10. Brunswick A-2 Pinsetter Switch Cluster 

The Switch Cluster is a metal plate containing switches and cams that are 

mounted on the detector and is engaged to the detector 1:1 gear. The nylon gear 

that drives the cam shaft turns the cams which are timed to close the switches at 

proper times during the pinsetter cycle. Refer to Figure 10. 

(1) ADJUSTABLE CAM (2) 0º SWITCH (ZERO) (3) B-2000 SWITCH (NO LONGER 

USED) 

(4) 44º/144º SWITCH ("TAKE DATA") 

44o /144o Switch (“Take Data”) 

1. This switch closes twice every pinsetter cycle. The first switch closing 

will cause a “take data” signal when the deck is approximately 1" (44°) 

above the pins if the pinsetter is on first ball. 

2. The second switch closing will cause a “take data” signal at 144° when 

the rake is approximately 10" from the no. 1 pin if the pinsetter is on 

second ball. 

3. The switch is also used during special pinsetter cycles to energize the 

New Pins Solenoid during the first ball foul or No Tap cycles so any 

standing pin(s) will be swept away. 

0o Switch 

1. The 0° switch closes once each pinsetter cycle. It is used to reset 

memory on the Video Processing Board and allows it to accept the ball 

detect signal. 

2. Energize the New Pins Solenoid at the end of the first ball and third ball 

fouls, tenth frame cycles so that the bowler will have a second ball shot.

Adjustments 

The Switch Cluster contains three switches. Two of these switches, the 0 o and 

the 44 o /144 o , monitor the pinsetter to provide timing information for proper 

scoring. Correct adjustment of these switches is necessary and must be 

checked after clutch adjustment, detector repair, or any other change to the 

timing of the pinsetter. The third switch is used only for timing of the ball 

director on the Systems 2000 Ball Rack and is no longer used. 

0o Switch 

The lobe of the inside cam on the Switch Cluster must actuate the 0o switch 

when the pinsetter is at 0o . Refer to Figure 11. 

Figure 11. 0 o Switch Adjustment 

Adjusting the cam is done by removing the Switch Cluster Assembly from the 

detector's 1:1 gear and repositioning the cam to actuate the 0 o switch. (The 

pinsetter must be at 0 o .) To adjust the switch perform the following steps: 

1. Remove the switch cluster from the detector. 

2. Position the cam and switch so the switch is activated half way up the 

front edge of the lobe. Refer to Figure 11. An overtravel dimension of 

.025" is necessary at the top of the lobe to prevent damage to the switch. 

(On cams with a long lobe duration, the switch should be actuated at the 

scribe mark located near the middle of the lobe.) 

3. Replace the cluster on the detector making sure that the cam does not 

change position. 

4. Verify the operation of the switch by monitoring the 0 o indicator on the 

VPS Processing Board (See U1 and U38). The indicator should be “on” 

only when the pinsetter is at 0 o .

2. Lower the pinsetter deck until it is approximately 16" ± 1 / 2 above the pin 

deck (1" above the pins). 

3. Loosen the lockscrew holding to outer cam to the shaft. 

4. Loosen the 44°/144° switch mounting screws. 

5. Rotate the outer cam clockwise until the roller of the switch lever is 

positioned halfway up the front edge of the outer cam. 

6. Adjust the switch so that it activates. 

7. Tighten the cam lockscrew and the switch mounting screws. 

8. Cycle the pinsetter so that the switch is at the top of the lobe.

2. Foul signal. 

3. Ball detect. 

If the signals are present, the New Pins Solenoid will be energized two times 

during the pinsetter cycle. At 44° the New Pins Solenoid will energize causing 

the pinsetter to switch to second ball and sweep all standing pins. It energizes 

again at 0° causing the pinsetter to switch to second ball to give the bowler a 

full rack, second ball shot. 

For third ball, tenth frame, the New Pins Solenoid will fire one time at 0 o after 

a tenth frame spare or a “double.” This will automatically put the pinsetter in 

a second ball mode for the final ball of the game. 

For No Tap situations the New Pins Solenoid energizes at 44° causing the 

pinsetter to switch to second ball, sweep all pins from the pin deck, and reset 

to a full rack first ball for the next bowler.

Cycle Link Operation 

Figure 14. New Pins Solenoid Activated - Cycle Link Raised 

The New Pins Solenoid signal is received from the VPS Processing Board for 

a foul third ball, tenth frame and No Tap cycles. When the New Pins Solenoid 

is energized, it pulls the standing pins selector clockwise, unblocking the 

standing pins cam follower. The standing pins cam follower goes into the low 

of the cam causing the “C” shaft to turn clockwise. The first and second ball 

switch lever is attached to the “C” shaft, and as it turns clockwise, it switches 

the ball light to second ball. Refer to Figure 14.

The 90 o overtravel hook selector is also attached to the "C" shaft, and as it 

turns clockwise, it forces the cycle link up. The upward motion of the cycle 

link turns the cycle crank clockwise around the "E" shaft. A pin in the cycle 

crank turns the strike selector in a counterclockwise direction unblocking the 

strike cam follower. The strike cam follower goes into the low of the timing 

cam rotating the "D" shaft counterclockwise. The moving deck/scissors 

selector rotates counterclockwise pulling the adjustable scissors link forward, 

rotating the moving deck/scissors latch counterclockwise to block the cam 

follower, and freeing the moving deck cam follower. 

This prevents the deck from picking up any pins standing on the pin deck 

during the detection stroke. The rake sweeps all the pins and the deck will 

then set ten new pins on the lane surface. The New Pins Solenoid will fire 

once more at 360 o to place the pinsetter in second ball. Refer to Figure 15.

First Ball Foul 

On a first ball foul, the New Pins Solenoid switches the detector to second 

ball. On a first ball foul, when the New Pins Solenoid switches the detector to 

the second ball, the cycle link and crank generates a strike in the detector. It 

then blocks the scissors and prevents the pinsetter from picking up the 

standing pins. 

1. Bowler delivers his first ball and fouls. 

2. The ball breaks the ball detect's light path and triggers the pinsetter. 

Refer to Figure 19.

Figure 20. Third Ball, Tenth Frame - Brunswick A-2 


Third Ball, Tenth Frame 

When a bowler scores either a spare or double in the tenth frame, the LGP 

sends a signal to the VPS Processing PCB to place the pinsetter in second ball. 

This eliminates the need for the bowler to press reset after bowling the third 

ball (if standing pins are left.) 

1. The scoring sequence for a spare or first ball (double) occurs normally. 

2. 44º Pulse (scores double). 

3. 144º Pulse (scores spare). 

4. 0° switch closes causing the new pins solenoid to switch the pinsetter to

AMF Pinspotter Modifications 

Figure 22. AMF Sweep Switch 

(1) SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS 


AMF Sweep Switch 

The AMF sweep switch uses both normally open (ON) and normally closed 

(NC) sets of contacts to provide timing information to the VPS. 

The normally open set of contacts provides the signal that allows the VPS to 

accept a ball detect signal. When the sweep is in the up position, these 

contacts are closed, allowing the VPS to accept a ball detect signal should one 

occur. Once the sweep falls, the contacts open causing the VPS to ignore any 

ball detect signal. 

The normally closed set of contacts provides the take data signal to the VPS 

telling it to take a picture. When the sweep is in the up position these contacts 

are open. The falling of the sweep causes the contacts to close. If a ball detect 

has occurred, the closing of the contacts cause the VPS to take a picture of the 

pins after the take data time delay programmed through the VPS configuration 

menu has expired. Refer to Figure 22.

AMF Pinspotter Scoring Sequence of Events 

First Ball, Second Ball 

All Models 

The following describes the events necessary for the first ball scoring 

sequence. 

NOTE: The scorer console must be turned on, the bowler's name entered, and 

the “Bowl” key pressed with the sequencing arrows on the bowler's name. 

1. The bowler delivers the first ball. The ball breaks the ball detect's light 

path and sends a signal to the VPS. 


3. The pinsetter is triggered by the ball. The sweep falls downward causing 

the sweep switch to to send a take data signal to the VPS. 

4. The VPS waits the time desired as set in the take data delay time setting 

under the configuration menu. 

5. After the time delay the VPS takes a picture and sends the score to the 

LGP. 

6. Score is displayed on CRTs. 

7. The sweep switch closes to reset scoring cycle allowing the VPS to accept 


AMF Foul 

On first ball foul, the data is transmitted to the Scanner Data Processor PCB. 

At “take data” (44 o ), the scorer displays an “F” and scores a “0.” The normal 

foul cycle of the pinspotter sets a new full set of pins for the second ball cycle. 



No Tap 

The following describes the events necessary for the no tap scoring sequence. 

This cycle occurs when a bowler throws a no tap strike and the LGP is set to 

No Tap scoring. At the end of the regular cycle, the pinspotter will 

automatically cycle a second time so the next bowler does not have to press 

the Reset button to get a full rack of pins.

All Models 

The following describes the events necessary for the third ball tenth frame 

scoring sequence. 

This cycle occurs at the end of the tenth frame for a bowler that received a 

“bonus” ball after a spare or a double. If the bowler does not strike on the 

“bonus” ball, the pinspotter will cycle a second time so the next bowler is not 

required to push the Reset button to get a full rack, first ball.
