Chapter 2: Run the Cables – Type A 22
AMF 82-70 with MK Expander
Run both the DMO-70MK and DME-70MK cables from the Duo Camera Module, along the Ball Track, up the
kickback.
The DMO & DME cables each consist of three separate cables:
A. The First cable is run to the A&MC box located on the curtain wall. Again, the start contact is wired in series to
the managers control switch on AMC Pin 5 and the cycle contact is wired in parallel across AMC pins 1 & 2 to the
cycle button from the ball return. The Foul signal is also wired to the AMC box across AMC pins 7 & 8.
Warning: Be careful when pulling out the existing AMC connections that you do not
pull out more than the intended connector by exerting too much force.
Also, make sure that no connectors are shorting out with any others,
otherwise machine faults like continual cycling could occur.
Note: The Duo unit’s start contacts must be connected in series (in line) not in
parallel with (across) the manager’s control switch. This is to ensure that
when the manager’s control switches are switched off the pinsetter will turn
off. Normal operation will see the Manager’s control switch turned on, the
pinsetter will turn on and off with the games bowled. If, however, there is
an urgent need to turn the pinsetter off it can be done quickly using the
Manager's control switches.
B. The second cable is run to the MK Expander PC Board in the control chassis, where the four-pin connector is
plugged into the top right corner of the Printed Circuit Board. The APS commands allow more advanced
pinsetter functions such as short strike cycle, sweep reverse on 1
st
ball miss and 7 – 10 pick off.
C. The third cable is run to the masking unit, where it is connected across the 2
nd
Ball light. Check the polarity of
the connection by making sure that the 2
nd
Ball Indicator on the Duo Camera unit comes on when the pinsetter is
on second ball.
Important!
The take data delay in the Fine Tune the Scoring Setup screen must be set to a allow enough time for the
score to be taken and the APS input to the MK expander chassis to be driven prior to the pinspotter table starting to
move. The default setting is 3.0 seconds for the Omega-Tek chassis fitted with MK expanders. The MK expander
must receive the APS scoring input prior to the table operating, so that any advanced functions such sweep reverse
can occur if necessary. If the table starts moving, it is too late for any advanced commands to be received.
This Take Data Delay should be set as long as possible to give the maximum time for any unsteady pins to
fall, but not too long so that the MK expander times out and ignores 7-10 pick off or short strike cycles.
Note: Make sure that the Pinsetter Model Type in the Setup Wizard is set to
AMF 82_70MP. The MP Chassis and the MK Expander behave in the
same way, so the one Pinsetter Model Type will operate both types of
chassis.
Tip: Some pinspotters have the MK expander fitted, but have not been re-wired
to enable reversing of the sweep motor. It is possible to enable or disable
the sweep reverse function for the APS in the Check Pinsetter
Connections screen in the troubleshooting menu of the Duo.
