Lane Status Icons

In addition to the resources themselves, there are a number of action buttons available in this area:

Emergency Off

The red button with an explanation point in a triangle, is the Emergency Off button.  This button is used to shut down mechanical equipment in case of an emergency.  Brunswick A, A-2, GS-series and StringPin machines, as well as ball accelerators and ball lifts will turn off immediately when this function is used.  However, QubicaAMF pinspotters and other manufacturer’s equipment may not turn off immediately, due to mechanical time delays built into those machines.

There are two procedures for using the Emergency Off function:

1. Click on the Emergency Off Button.  The following warning message will be displayed:

   

2. Select the OK button to place ALL lanes in the entire center into the Emergency Off state, or press Cancel to exit without placing any lanes in the Emergency Off state.

3. If OK was selected, then all the lanes will be put into the Emergency Off state:

   

   
   

   Which is indicated by all of the lanes showing the exclamation point in the red triangle.  Simultaneously, the pinsetters will shut off, as previously described.
