It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with, and have been trained in, the servicing or
installation procedures of these products, which includes the use of common mechanic’s hand tools and
any special Brunswick or recommended tools from other suppliers.
We could not possibly know of and advise the reader of all conceivable procedures by which a service
might be performed and of the possible hazards and/or results of each method. We have not attempted
any such wide evaluation. Therefore, anyone who uses a service procedure and/or tool, which is not
recommended by Brunswick, must rst completely satisfy himself that neither his nor the product’s
safety will be endangered by the service procedure selected.
All information, illustrations and specications contained in this manual are based on the latest product
information available at the time of publication.
It should be kept in mind, while working on the product, that the electrical system is capable of violent
and damaging short circuits or severe electrical shocks. When performing any work where electrical
terminals could possibly be grounded or touched by the mechanic, the power to the product must be
disconnected prior to servicing and remain disconnected until servicing is complete.

Section Rev. February 2017 Safety Section 5
PINSETTERS EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY POWER CONTROLLERS
The GS-X Pinsetter Safety Controller system must be commissioned and serviced only by specialist
personnel.
Specialist Personnel
Specialist personnel (Center Mechanics) are dened as persons who:
• have undergone the appropriate technical training and
• who have been instructed by the responsible pinsetter operator in the
operation of the pinsetter and the current valid safety guidelines and
• who have access to the “Safety Photoelectric Switch System L 4000” operating instructions.
General Safety Information and Protective Measures
Safety Notes
Please observe the following procedures in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the GS-X
Pinsetter Power Controller system.
• The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commissioning, use
and periodic technical inspections of the GS-X Pinsetter Safety Controller system, in particular:
• Machine Directive 98/37/EEC
• Equipment Usage Directive 89/655/EEC
• the work safety regulations/safety rules
• other relevant health and safety regulations
• Users of the pinsetter equipped with the GS-X Pinsetter Safety Controller system are
responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
• It is imperative that all notes created during the TestsPerformedBeforetheFirst
Commissioning and FunctionalChecksoftheProtectiveDevice sections of this manual are
observed.
• The tests must be carried out by the center mechanic and must be recorded and documented to
ensure that the tests can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
• The operating instructions must be made available to the user of the pinsetters equipped with
the GS-X Pinsetter Safety Controller system. The pinsetter operator is to be instructed in the
use of the device by center mechanic and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.

6 Safety Section Section Rev. February 2017
Tests Performed Before the First Commissioning
The purpose of the tests before the rst commissioning is to conrm the safety requirements specied
in the national/international rules and regulations, especially in the Machine and Equipment Usage
Directive (EU Conformity).
• To ensure correct function, test as dened in the Functional checks of the protective device
section.
• The distance between the sender and receiver must not exceed the maximum distance of 7
meters.
• Access to the hazardous point of the pinsetter must only be possible through the protective
elds.
• It must not be possible to climb over, creep underneath or pass around the protective devices.
• Make sure that the operating personnel of the pinsetters protected by the GS-X Pinsetter Power
Controller system are correctly instructed by specialist personnel before being allowed to
operate the pinsetters. Instructing the operating personnel is the responsibility of the machine
owner.
Functional Checks of the Protective Devices
The effectiveness of the protective devices must be checked daily, or before work is commenced, by a
specialist or by authorized personnel.
Prior to each test verify on the safety evaluation device UE 401 that the green LED illuminates. If this
is not the case, make sure that this condition is reached. The tests are otherwise meaningless.
1. Completely cover each light beam with a test piece that is not transparent (at least 30 mm
diameter) at the following positions:
• Directly in front of the sender.
• In the middle between sender and receiver.
• Directly in front of the receiver.
2. Open the rear pinsetter access door with the interlock switch.
3. Open the masking unit interlock switch.
4. Press the emergency stop switch.

Section Rev. February 2017 Safety Section 7
Each of these individual tests must produce the following result:
• During the light beam test, the receiver for the related safety photoelectric safety switch must
have no LED illuminated.
• On the safety evaluation device UE 401, only the red LED must illuminate.
• As long as the light beam, interlock or emergency stop switch is interrupted, it must not be
possible to initiate the dangerous state of the machine.
No further operation of the pinsetter is allowed if the green or yellow LED on the safety evaluation
device UE 401 illuminates during the test, even if the green or yellow LED illuminates only for a short
period. In this case, the installation of the GS-X Pinsetter Power Controller system must be checked by
specialized personnel.
The proper functioning of the interlock devices must be checked weekly, by a specialist or by authorized
personnel.
Prior to the tests, turn off and lockout the main power switch on the GS-X Pinsetter Power Controller
system.
a. Unplug the rear door interlock cable from the GS-X Pinsetter Power Controller box and verify
that when the interlock switch is closed (rear door closed) there is continuity from pin 1 to 2
and from pin 3 to 4 of the connector. Then verify that when the interlock switch is opened (rear
door opened) there is no continuity from pin 1 to 2 and from pin 3 to 4 of the connector. This
should be done with a multi-meter.
b. Unplug the masking unit interlock cable from the GS-X Pinsetter Power Controller box and
verify that when the interlock switch is actuated (masking unit down) there is continuity from
pin 1 to 2 and from pin 3 to 4 of the connector. Then verify that when the interlock switch
is opened (masking unit up) there is no continuity from pin 1 to 2 and from pin 3 to 4 of the
connector. This should be done with a multi-meter.
c. With the emergency stop switch on the GS-X Pinsetter Power Controller box in the non-
pressed position, verify that there is continuity between the two orange wires on the switch and
continuity between the two brown wires on the switch. Then with the emergency stop switch
on the GS-X Pinsetter Power Controller box in the pressed position, verify that there is no
continuity between the two orange wires on the switch and no continuity between the two
brown wires on the switch. This should be done with a multi-meter between the two
brown wires on the switch. This should be done with a multi-meter.

Care and Maintenance
The lenses for the sensors must be cleaned regularly or if dirty. Avoid scratching the lenses and the
formation of droplets on the lenses as these could change the optical properties.
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the lens. You can prevent this effect by using the
antistatic plastic cleaner (SICK Part No. 5 600 006) and the SICK lens cloth (Part No. 4 003 353).
How to clean the lens:
• Use a clean and soft brush to remove dust from the lens.
• Then wipe the lens with a clean and damp cloth.
After cleaning, check the position of sender and receiver to make sure that it is not possible to climb
over, creep below or stand behind the protective device.
