The counter stays at Zero while the rotor is spinning
Fault: The reed switch on the counter which
registers the pulses coming from the magnet in the rotor is faulty or
the software in the counter�s EPROM has become corrupted.
Solution: Lift the counter from the ball, remove the circuit board from the rear of the counter which effectively resets the EPROM
Detailed Description: Should you power up the
counter and discover that it is no longer registering the revolutions
of the rotor, there are two possible faults;
- The little reed switch built into the counter has been damaged from
a drop or sudden, hard shock to the body of the sphere. There is no
effective repair for this and you will require a new counter.
- The software which converts the magnetic pulses from the rotor into
your score on the display has become temporarily corrupted and as a
result, the display will remain at �0� regardless of how fast you spin
the ball!
There is a solution to the second fault;
Remove the counter (for details on how to do this, please click
here). Remove the 6 little fixing screws and pull the board away from
the counters body. This will serve to remove the power from the boards
components.
After 30 seconds have elapsed, reattach the board and replace the 6 screws.
Attach the counter to the ball and the fault should be cured. In the
event that this solution fails, please request a new counter for your
ball.
