hello all again, one of my lanes just stopped all together, i tried the good ol' chasis swap and nothing. i am getting electrcity to sweep motor and table motor but they will not cycle themselves through. no power to pit at al and sweep control on main breaker box will not run sweep. cycle switch is in-effective as well.

Re: 82-70 just stopped
Try swapping the circuit breaker in the mechanics control box with the adjacent machine to see if problem moves.

Re: 82-70 just stopped
I think Triac has it nailed... it'll be somewhere in the machine-side wiring, probably in the master CB. The CB controls the low-V side in the chassis, without it, no power to the boards, and no coil voltage to the relays or the contactors.<span style="font-style: italic">Educatio est omnium efficacissima forma rebellionis</span>Comment

Check the much overlooked mask switch.They say that the **** rolls down hill but the smell always starts at the top.Comment

was not the mask switch, trying the circuit breakers in the master CB nowjust feeling my way out like a blind man at an orgy.Comment

Re: 82-70 just stopped
What kind of Chassis do you have. Could be in the c1 on machine side see if any connections are burntThey say that the **** rolls down hill but the smell always starts at the top.Comment

Re: 82-70 just stopped
Does the deck light come on? Did you try turning it on from the rear control pannel? If the deck light isnt on, and you didnt (cant) turn on with rear control pannel(some dont have power switches on them) I would see if the A+MC plug came loose.
And, as Lafarge said, type of chassis will help narrow down other possabilitys.Comment

Re: 82-70 just stopped
ok to answer all questions up to now, it was not main breaker, pins are not burnt inspected c1 plug, - looks ok, no deck light.
where is A+MC plug?just feeling my way out like a blind man at an orgy.Comment

Re: 82-70 just stopped
J-man;A&MC is Approach & Managers Control . There is a small plug that goes into the side of each wireway ( just above the ball return downsweep) the other end of the plug goes to a junction box located (usually )on the wall above the pinspotter. The wires from this box travel up front (usually ) in the ball return subway. [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]
Check the wiring in the a & mc box terminals 5-6 turn the machine on-off and 1-2 is for cycling,make sure there is no wires touching together-or off or broken,or in the wrong place!
--------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Check with your voltmeter on terminal strip connections TS 17 & TS 18. ( The terminals are located under the chassis , so you will have to move the chassis , hook your meter leads ,then reinstall the chassis.)You should have a reading of 110 volts ,or more since the R&S plug connects to these terminals. If you do not have the voltage, go back to the R&S plug and measure voltage there.

Re: 82-70 just stopped
Could be a bad connection or loose A&MC plug. That would be my next guessAll I want in life is to turn wrenches and climb around pinsetters/pinspotters again :/Comment

Rep; Your about 3hrs. late and I still can't find the a&mc... :pIf at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it." -W.C.FieldsComment

Re: 82-70 just stopped
If you can run the motors from the chassis then full power is there. No pit light immediately says no signal to turn on machine.jump contacts 5 and 6 in the a & mc box on the side that machine is e.g.odd lane will be on the right as you look into it and even lane will be on the left.simply join them together, normally pink wires and machine should kick into life.If it does not then problem is before this, or more probably a bad mask connection to the chassis, pins 2 and 28 on the chassis are the switch, so put a connection between them and this will bypass the wires from the switch, which could be damaged or broken.
Keep us posted.Comment
