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.

request, anyhow the following items are strictly necessary for one pair of lane’s installation:
#01 Stand Alone VLC (Vision Lane Computer)
#01 power cord for VLC
#01 DVI adapter (supplied with VLC)
#01 Bowlers console (+ interfacing cables set)
The following items depends by the installation method and pinsetters models (list is for pair of lanes):
VLC installed near or behind the overhead monitors:
#02VGA SubD15 male-male high quality cable (min. length 1,8 Mt)
VLC installed in the pinsetter area:

device,# 04 VGA SubD15 male-male high quality cable, #01 CA0315 splitter cable for each pair of lanes)
Installation with API (Advanced Pinsetter Interface):
#01 CA0092A/CA0092B/CA0092C cable (RS232+12VDC cable, from Lane computer to A.P.I.), the CA0092C is
used when the VLC is installed close to the API.
#04 wires cable for coin input (lay the cable from API to coin devices, 2 wires each side)
#01 API – Advanced Pinsetter Interface
#01 Camera for pins detection(if required for detecting pins) + cables for connections
#02 Short cable kit for pinsetter Interfacing
#02 Coin drop box or toggle switch (not supplied by Steltronic Spa)
Installation without API (pinsetters connected to VLC com’s):
#02 Coin Cables adapter
#02 Coin drop box or toggle switch (not supplied by Steltronic Spa)
#02 RS232 cable (from VLC com’s to Pinsetter chassis, models depends by pinsetter type)
Additional cable for installation with PinCam (camera for detect knocked pins):
#01 standard UTP network cable (CAT5\CATe\CAT6) need to lay from the PinCam to the corresponding VLC.
this “Stand Alone Network connection” is mandatory to perform the camera calibration from Stand Alone
Menu; is also mandatory install the antistatic discharge line between the devices
see PinCam installation
manual for further details.

VLC (Vision Lane Computer) connection view
Installation with PinCam (camera for pins detection): connect the UTP cable from each PinCam to the correspondent
VLC,, using the LAN input.
VLC monitors output
The VLC monitor output is Analog video, XGA, 1024 x 768 pixel. Is possible connect #01 monitor for each lane of
the lane pair or #01 monitor\projector for both lanes of the same pair. The monitors must be powered directly from
AC outlet; monitor Stand-by and Input switch Score/TV can be perform as following: a)with monitor remote control
b) via VLC: with monitors compatible with Steltronic software, the VLC could send a command (via RS232) to switch
the monitor in Stand-by/TV/AV/SVideo, when the lane is not in use.
Contact service@steltronic.com for the list of compatible “RS232 commands” monitors model.
The VLC send only the Score signal to the monitors, AV/RF/SVideo signal must be connected directly to the
overhead monitor inputs; see the monitor installation manual for further details.
VLC AC Input
The VLC AC input power is 110AC/220AC/240AC; please check the VLC power supply model and switch before to
plug the VLC to the AC outlet.

CA0092B= length 40 meters, maximum allowed(131.2 feet).
The network cable (standard UTP cat cable) must not exceed 80 meters; the network cable is used only for
installation with PinCam, is not necessary in installation with Sciba.
The bowlers console cable is routed into a conduit(≥ Ø4 cm, 1.57 inch), laid under the bowling lane tracked by side in
the bowler’s return channel.

connected with CAT Video System or using High quality long VGA cables.
The Lane computer is mounted on the Curtain wall of Pinsetter area; the overhead monitors are connected with cat
Video cable to Lane computer or with a high quality long VGA cables; the connection with API is made with CA009C
cable which length is 1 meter (3.2 feet).
The network cable is used only for installation with PinCam, cable is not necessary in installation with Sciba.
The video wires are routed into a conduit ( ≥Ø4 cm, 1.57 inch) laid above the ceiling tiles (see the CAT Video system
manual for further details). The bowlers console cable is routed into a conduit( ≥Ø4 cm, 1.57 inch) laid under the
