Bowler Console Adapter Cable
The Steltronic (PN: 716088) Bowler Console Adapter Cable is designed to simplify scoring system upgrades by allowing existing bowler console wiring to remain in place when the Steltronic Advanced Pinsetter Interface (API) is no longer required.
Many legacy Steltronic scoring installations utilized the API because the original pinsetter required it for communication with the scoring system. When a bowling center upgrades to a newer pinsetter that communicates directly with the Steltronic Lane Computer, the API is no longer needed and is removed from the installation.
Because the original keypad bowler console was connected through the API, removing the API would normally require replacing the entire bowler console cable with a new cable running directly to the Lane Computer. On many installations, this cable can exceed 110 feet in length, making replacement both labor-intensive and costly.
The Steltronic 716088 Adapter Cable eliminates the need to install a new bowler console cable. The adapter installs in place of the removed API, allowing the existing bowler console wiring to connect directly to the Steltronic Lane Computer. This significantly reduces installation time, minimizes labor costs, and allows bowling centers to reuse their existing infrastructure while upgrading their pinsetter equipment.
Important Installation Note
Part Number 716088 is designed specifically for legacy Steltronic installations where the Lane Computer was originally installed near the Advanced Pinsetter Interface (API). In these installations, the adapter cable provides a direct replacement for the removed API using the existing wiring.
If your bowling center has a legacy installation where the Lane Computer is located near the overhead monitors instead of near the API, this adapter is not the correct cable. Those installations require the Steltronic Bowler Console Adapter Cable, Part Number 718086, which is designed for that wiring configuration.
If you are unsure which installation your bowling center has, please contact Steltronic Technical Support before ordering to ensure the correct adapter cable is selected.
