    1. In  Sync Office, run a System Analysis scan.
    2. Once completed, click on Hardware.
    3. Find the replaced Distribution Board / Peripheral Controller in the list of devices; verify a green checkmark is next to it.

  • Testing the Lanes

    Follow the steps below for the lane(s) with the replaced peripheral controller.

    1. In  Sync Desk, issue a Lite League.

    2. Start the game at the lane(s) and verify the pinsetter(s) turn on.

      Throw a ball on each lane and verify the following:

      • The pinsetter cycles/resets correctly.
      • The ball is scored correctly.
      • If installed, the foul units work as expected.
      • If installed, the bumpers work as expected.
