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

Figure 2.1. Camera Mounting Location
2.2.1 Refer to Figure 2.1. Measure the distance between the inside edges of the two
lanes to nearest ½”. Consult the table in Figure 2.1 for the distance measurements
from the 7-10 pin line.
2.2.2 Underlane Ball Return Camera Mount
2.2.2.1 Position the camera with its rear two retaining holes at the distance determined
from figure 2.1, Pinsensor Location Table, Column A and centered laterally on the
capping.
2.2.2.2 Mark and drill the four mounting hole locations using the drill bit specified in the
tools list (#19 or 11/64"). Make any required cable connections to the camera front and
pre-route the cables beneath the camera before securing it to the capping. Secure the
camera using the supplied #10 screws. Connect the camera power cable.
2.2.2.3 Position the Camera Ball Deflector (244-001-176) 1/4" behind the camera. Mark
and drill the four mounting hole locations using the drill bit specified in the tools list (#19
or 11/64"). Secure the deflector using the supplied #10 screws.
2.2.3 Overlane Ball Return Camera Mount using a new Tunnel Bracket, (244-001-
177).
2.2.3.1 The mounting distance for the Overlane Tunnel Bracket is two inches greater
than the Underlane camera mounting distance.
