Installation and power-up instructions for the SB-6400-96M camera assemblies used with MAG-3 subway ball returns. The guide specifies lane placement measurements, camera mounting steps with screws and leveling, cable connections via a DB9 connector, and alignment using a string reference. It also explains LED-based firmware version display in binary, initialization behavior, calibration procedures, and threshold determination with guidance on lighting conditions and expected LED flash patterns. Troubleshooting and operational readiness follow after calibration.

CAMERA SB-6400-95 SB-6400-95M SB-6400-96 SB-6400-96M Installation The installation of the sB-6400-95 Complete Camera Assemblies may commence only if the cabling has been run and the capping and the ball detectors have been installed. The instructions detailed here are for subway ball returns. Surface ball returns use the same procedures and hardware but are fixed to the outer edge of the ball tracks. Refer to the MAG-3 Automatic Scoring System Service Manual or the MAG-3 Pinsetter Service Manual for information on installing the cable assemblies. NOTE: If you have a slave camera assembly to be installed in conjunction with a master camera assembly, refer to"Master / Slave Installation" beginning on page 14 of this manual. 1. Place the first camera assembly on the 10½ -inch capping between lanes one and two at approximately twelve feet (3.66 meters) from the rear of the pin decks. Measure 142 inches (3607mm) from the center of spot \#10 on lane number one to the center of the 10½-inch capping. Repeat the same measurement for lane number two using the center of spot \#7 . Position the camera unit with the center of the optical lens facing the pit area at the axis of both afore mentioned measurements. (Figure 3) 2. Mark the mounting hole locations, set the camera unit aside and drill 5/32" (4mm) holes for the mounting screws. Replace the camera unit and secure it in place using the center guide holes with the two truss head tapping screws supplied. Level the camera unit by shimming as necessary with flat washers. (Figure 4) Figure 4 3. Use the four 5/16" X 2-1/2" lag screws with the four flat washers and four lock washers supplied to mount the camera unit in place. (Figure 5) Figure 5 4. Once the camera has been installed and leveled, the DB9 connector is plugged into the camera assembly. (The connector is on the end of the cable assembly which was previously placed in position while installing the MAG-3 Automatic Scoring System and/or the MAG-3 Magnet Pinsetters.) 5. Repeat steps one through four on the last pair of lanes which are in line with the first pair. 6. Stretch a string from the first camera to the last camera at the rear of the camera chassis. (Figure 6) Figure 6 7. Position the remaining camera units in line with the string. 8. Repeat steps two through four for each remaining camera unit. 9. Install the ball detectors and reflectors. Refer to the cable assembly documentation for more information. Power Up When powering up the camera (turning on electrical power to pinsetters), both LED groups will be used to display the version number of the firmware installed. Each group of 10 LEDs show, in binary, the version number. The number before the dot is displayed on the left LED group and the number after the dot is shown on the right LED group. For example, version 2.85 would be displayed as shown in Figure 7. binary 2 binary 5 Initialization After displaying the version number, the initialization process will resume. The camera will try to perform a calibration if no previous calibration was successfully completed. If the camera had previously and successfully gone through a calibration process, then the camera will read the pins immediately. Special note for version 1.00 and later. If the video signal from the embedded video camera is not valid, the backplane LED will flash rapidly in a special sequence. (Figure 8) Figure 8 The calibration process is displayed on the backplane by having the LEDs perform an outside-in movement. If the calibration is successful for the first (left) lane, then the green light will be turned ON and the 10 LEDs ofthe left group will all be turned ON. The same process applies to the second (right) lane with the only difference being the use of the right group of LEDs. If the camera is unable to calibrate properly on any of the 2 lanes, it will simply keep trying until at least one side (lane) is calibrated. This process will go on forever if th

FAQs

What prerequisites must be met before starting SB-6400-95/96 camera installation?

Installation may commence only after cabling has been run and capping and ball detectors have been installed, with instructions tailored to subway ball returns.

How is the firmware version displayed during power-up?

Both LED groups display the firmware version in binary: the number before the dot appears on the left group and the number after the dot on the right group.

What happens if the camera cannot calibrate successfully?

The camera keeps trying until at least one side (lane) is calibrated, and the process continues indefinitely if self-calibration cannot be completed.
