2.0 STANDARD CAMERA INSTALLATION
The optical camera is designed to be mounted on the ball return capping at a position
where it can properly view the two adjacent pin decks. Because of the variations of ball
return cappings and distances between adjacent lanes, mounting positions can vary.
This procedure describes the installation required for proper operation.
The method of mounting the camera will be dependent upon the type of capping, but in
all cases, some sort of standard fasteners should be appropriate.
2.1 METHODOLOGY
The positioning of the camera on the ball return capping is determined by the distance
between the lanes. The system will accommodate lane separations between 27” and
33", typical of most installations. The wider the separation between lanes, the greater
the distance between the camera and the pin deck. The proper mounting location for
various lane separations, given in a table, provide the optimum separation of the pins as
viewed by the camera.
2.2 CAMERA MOUNTING
The distance between adjacent lanes is first measured. The points at which the
measurement should be taken are the inside edge of each lane where the gutter begins.
This distance is then used to determine the correct distance from the camera mounting
to the pin deck. The line of reference on the pin deck is the last row of pins (7 - I 0). The
mounting holes are then drilled and the camera is securely fastened. It is extremely
important that the capping in this region be rigidly mounted. Failure to do this will result
in scoring errors.
NOTE
The capping on which the camera is to be
mounted must be securely fastened to the
structure below. A rigid capping is required for
proper camera performance.
NOTE
The final size of the hole depends upon the capping
construction and the type of fasteners selected. The
recommended drill size is adequate for the #10 sheet metal
screw furnished for typical wood cappings. For thin wood or
metal cappings, #10 machine screws and bolts are
recommended
(
not furnished
)

3.0 MODE SELECTING THE ACCUCAM 3000 OPTICAL PINSENSOR
Located on the rear of the pinsensor, to the right of the 18 volt power connector, are a
single white push- button marked “Test” and a green indicator marked “status”. The
Status indicator is used to determine the operating mode and condition of the pinsensor
and the white push-button is used to set the operating mode. Refer to Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1 Rear of Camera showing LED
The green status indicator exhibits the following attributes in the following order:
1) When power is first applied (or the pinsensor initializes itself after a reset condition)
the indicator will be lit solid for approximately 5 seconds after which it will go dark for
approximately one second.
2) From 0 (zero) to 5 (five) “blinks” will occur at the end of the dark portion of the reset
cycle.
3) About one second after step 2, the pinsensor will begin a rhythmic blink at a rate of
approximately one blink per second to indicate it is functioning correctly.
To turn a mode on or off is simple:
a) Press and hold the test button until the status light goes dark (about 5 seconds) and
then release the button.

Installation
10 AccuCam 3000 Installation, Operation, Service, and Parts Manual
400-286-002 Rev. B
b) Modes TOGGLE. If on, selecting a mode will turn it off. If off, selecting a mode will
turn it on. Quickly press the test button ONCE briefly to turn mode one (1) on or off.
OR…
Quickly press the test button TWICE briefly to turn mode two (2) on or off
OR...
Quickly press the test button THREE TIMES briefly to turn mode 3 on or off.
OR...
Quickly press the test button FIVE TIMES briefly to turn mode 5 on or off.
c) Allow the pinsensor to restart itself after the button presses. This will take about 5
seconds.
d) The pinsensor will indicate the new operating mode(s) as it finishes the reset
process. You can confirm the mode setting by following the numbered steps above.
The AccuCam 3000 Pinsensor has multiple operating modes. The appropriate operating
mode is selected by pressing the white test button on located on the rear of the camera.
To observe the current operating mode, simply unplug the power connector and plug it
back in, to start the status indicator at step 1 shown above, or hold the test button in for
at least 5 seconds, until the status light goes dark. Releasing the button will then start
the status indication cycle. The operating mode(s) will be displayed as described in
step 2.
If the camera indicator goes from solid on (reset in progress) to the rhythmic, 1 blink per
second “heartbeat”, there are no modes selected. No mode selected indicates the
camera is programmed to operate with a XL class pinspotter chassis only.
If you observe a one (1) blink between reset and the heartbeat, then mode 1 is turned
on. Mode 1 programs the camera communications with AMF XL or BOSS scoring.
If you observe two (2) blinks between reset and the heartbeat, then mode 2 is turned
on. Mode 2 should be selected for only for dual camera operation where the separation
between lanes requires 2 cameras for the lane pair.
If you observe three (3) blinks between reset and the heartbeat, then mode 3 is turned
on. Mode 3 should be selected to add a scoring delay between the ball triggering the
machine and the camera scoring pin-fall. This delay is only used for AccuScore Plus
Scoring models. Neither XL nor BOSS needs this delay.

Installation
AccuCam 3000 Installation, Operation, and Parts Manual 11
400-286-002 Rev. B
Note that more than one mode may be turned on at the same time. You may need dual
cameras on a split lane with AccuScore Plus Scoring, where both modes 2 and 3 are
required.
There is currently no 4 blink mode.
There is a 5 blink mode that is for factory test only. It should remain off at all times.
The indicator will show all modes that are currently turned on, during the mode display
period between reset and the heartbeat. You could observe the reset period, two blinks,
three blinks and the heartbeat. This would indicate both modes two and three are on.
Turn each mode on or off independently. Repeat the above steps for each mode you
wish to change. The pinsensor will remember the selected operating mode(s) until it is
changed. Removing and reapplying power doesn’t affect the remembered setup.
3.1 MODES OF OPERATION
Refer to the LED on the rear of the camera when powering up the camera to observe
the mode of operation.
