There are three different methods to communicate to the Pinsetters. The manufacturer and model of the
Pinsetter installed at your Bowling Center dictate which method is used and how the system is cabled:
 Type A This type uses the Duo Camera Module’s Machine Connection port for each machine
in the pair. Machine connection relies on relays to open and close a switch contact,
which is then wired into the Pinsetter’s control box to perform the required function.
For example: to perform a function such as cycle the lane, the Duo system closes a
relay, which completes a circuit that is wired in parallel to the cycle pinsetter button at
the ball return.
 Type B This type uses the Duo Camera Module’s Machine Communication port. This
connection takes advantage of the more advanced functions of the AMF 82-90XL and
90XLi Pinsetters. The cable is plugged into Pinsetter’s electronics so the Duo system
communicates directly to both lanes via their common control chassis. For Example:
to perform a function such as cycle the lane, the Duo sends a command to the
Pinsetter, which then starts a cycle. In a Type B connection, it is the Duo that tells the
machine what score was bowled and what to do.
 Type C This type is designed for connection to Brunswick’s GS-X and GS-98 (Unified
Chassis) machines as well as GS-10, 96 & 98 machines. (That include the Pinspotter
Interface box) This connection type takes advantage of the LLAN backbone to
communicate without the need to have a Duo Camera Module at all. In a Type C
connection, it is the Pinspotter that determines the score and tells the Duo what to
display on the screen.
Note: Although the terms Pinspotter and Pinsetter refer to Brunswick or AMF machines, they
are used interchangeably for the purposes of this installation guide.
