manuals that could be necessary.
Steltronic Stand Alone VLC is a Lane Computer that needs custom configuration files,
please, contact Steltronic service to obtain the VLC setup in the proper way; in the request form
please specify the pinsetter model to interface.
Any attempt of hard drive cloning or mother board replacing will cause configuration key corruptions
and the unavailability of VLC, please contact Steltronic Service in case of hardware problems.
A Bowler’s Console is mandatory for access to the bowler’s menu options.
The VLC Stand Alone configurator menu is accessible only from Bowler’s Console equipped with wired QWERTY or
ABC keyboard; in installation with Joystick (wired or wireless)\Touch Screen bowler’s console, the installer need a
keyboard + mouse connected to the VLC, in order to access to Stand Alone configurator menu, otherwise a laptop
equipped with at least one of the following program:
VNC Viewer
Steltronic Bowler’s Console emulator

Steltronic Stand Alone Vision lane computer installation (rev c.)
General
The VLC (or V.L.C.) is the acronym name for Vision Lane Computer. The Stand Alone VLC is a special lane computer
for Scoring System, designed to be installed in small entertainment centre, pub, hotels, on any place where is not
necessary the use of the Front Desk functions. To open the lanes and play, the players insert token\money in the
coin\money boxes, (usually located near the bowler’s console), alternatively the cashier can turn on a “toggle
switch” that remain closes until player end to play.
Each Stand Alone VLC could be used for equipped one lane or one pair of lanes. Pinsetter Interfacing, long and
short cable are the same of a VLC installation with Focus Front Desk, the bowler’s console is mandatory for operate.
VLC could be interfaced with vary pinsetters (see the following list), the * means “NO Camera required for pins
detection”, the ** means “NO Pinsetter interface (A.P.I.) required”.

Steltronic Stand Alone Vision lane computer installation (rev c.)
General installation note
The VLC must be placed in a safe and clean place. Usually there are two possible locations for VLC:
a) Near\behind the overhead monitors (the max clearance from the monitors depends by VGA cables, usually
1,8 meters)
b) Pinsetter area, generally on the curtain wall, near to API or pinsetter chassis.
Electrical requirements
Installation (a): Is required #1 receptacle with 3 outlets for each of pair of monitors lanes. Place the receptacle
(flush mounted on the ceiling) as close as possible to the location of where the monitors will be placed,
considering that each monitor is supplied with a power cord of 1,8 meter length (5.9 feet). A circuit breakers
located in a new electrical panel, accessible by bowling staff, should control each pair of monitor (max 4
monitors, depends by circuit breaker model).
Installation (b): each lane computer should be located on the curtain wall, close to the Steltronic A.P.I. or
pinsetter chassis, considering that the CA0092C cable from API to VLC is 80 cm-31.4”.
Is required #1 duplex receptacle with 1 outlets for each lane computer; place the receptacle close as possible to the
Lane computer, considering that each lane computer is supplied with a power cord of 1,8 meter length. A circuit
breakers located in a new electrical panel, accessible by bowling staff, should control each lane computer (max 3
VLC, depends by circuit breaker model).
Is required #1 duplex receptacle with 2 outlets for each of pair of monitors lanes. Place the receptacle (flush
mounted on the ceiling) as close as possible to the location of where the monitors will be placed, considering
that each monitor is supplied with a power cord of 1,8 meter length (5.9 feet). A circuit breakers located in a new
electrical panel, accessible by bowling staff, should control each pair of monitor (max 4 monitors, depends by
circuit breaker model).
The video signal from VLC to the overhead monitors could be provide with CAT video system* or using a H.Q. Long
VGA cables (one for each monitor).
Long cables, Pinsetter interface and bowler’s Console installation for Stand Alone VLC are the same of Standard
VLC installation, proceed in the same way.
Coin/money drop box and cables are not supplied by Steltronic Spa, please contact your score vendor for further
details.
* see the CAT video installation manual for further details.

Stand Alone VLC software settings
WARNINGS
Steltronic Stand Alone VLC needs a custom configuration file to works as Stand Alone, please, contact Steltronic
service before proceeding with installation, specifying the pinsetters models too!
The instruction of this document refer to Vision ≥ 12.18
The XML configuration files for Stand Alone VLC are contained in the folder \\Visionsettings of the lane computer.
A quick way to setup up the Stand Alone VLC parameters is using a Temporary Focus Front Desk ,installed even on an
a Laptop*, If a Focus Front desk is not available, its necessary edit the files manually.
To access to Stand Alone configuration files, connect to the VLC to the Monitors, keyboard and mouse OR, from a
Remote computer, use VNC\Remote Desktop to login with VLC via Lan  the Remote computer must be set with IP
10.11.1.x (where x is a number between 11 to 20), Subnetnet mask 255.0.0. user name and password required for
authentication.
Using a local mouse and keyboard connect to the VLC:
hit ESC key on keyboard to stop the Pinscore.exe
program, the VisionRoot menu pops up, click on Explorer
button.
From Remote computer: using VNC , connect remotely
to the VLC, when logged in, hit ESC key on keyboard to
stop the Pinscore.exe program, the VisionRoot menu
pops up, click on Explorer button.
Following: list of the editable parameters in the vary configuration files. Use Notepad to edit the files, do not change
the syntax, edit ONLY the suggested parameters.
