cops sensor info.

[KEN CRANE]

there seems to be a lot of questions re:cops sensors.i recive emails and ims daily about the proper setup of cop sensors.the proper way to set up a sensor is as follows.if you have removed the cops sensor or replacing the sensor you should first clean all the old debris and grease from under the sensor.then locate some xtreame love grease or dow 33.the xtreame grease is very sticky and has good shock absorbing properties but dow 33 will work.some people say silicone grease works good but when its exposed to any warm temps. it tends to melt.it will start to melt in the high seventy degree range.now your ready to reinstall,take a good dap of grease and put it on the frame where the cops sensor sets.push the sensor into the grease and let it ooze out.fill all the holes around the sensor,this includes the hole the pin for the exaust valve goes into.this helps in cases where the pin is loose and gives the sensor false signals.clean the hole where the cops rod goes thru and dry the cops rod.do not grease the cops rod.thats the road to a bad time.reassemble making sure to route the cops wire in the channel and cover the channel with a peice of scotch tape to help in reassembly.your on your way to a good day of play!

This was a good idea. Hats off to whoever thought of it.

Good tip on for not trapping/crushing cops wires-Tape works ok but bluetack is less hassle and works even better.

[KEN CRANE]

whats blue tack?

[Daylee-J]

the Blue sticky tack im guessin.

[flyonwall2]

Yeah thats it, you guys over the pond may have a different name for it, its blue sticky putty type stuff used for sticking posters up and stuff...

Its ideal for sealing the cops wire canal though..:)

[KEN CRANE]

great tip i know what your speaking about now!

[srubz]

Ken great explanation an installing the senser and the tip about the cops rod not having grease makes a lot of sense and Daylee-J
I'll try that !!!! good thinkin

[Daylee-J]

Don't thank me, Thank Flyonwall2.
I was just clearing it up for Ken.

I stripped and cleaned mine last night. My COPS rod was a mess... I had to run pipe-cleaners through the hole to get the old paint and goo out. Think that could have caused COPS to malfunction and let me chop?

I re-greased under the sensor and re-assembled it and was able to turn the SENS down to 4 from 7.

Hopefully this will cure my chopping problems. I'll find out for sure next week at Skyball.

stop in and see us we will all be at the tech booth.

[Deep Sixx]

I will do that. Will you be at a tech booth on the game floor or at the stand in the trade show? If I still have the problem, will you take a look at it?

tech area and yes i would be glad to

I re-greased under the sensor and re-assembled it and was able to turn the SENS down to 4 from 7. wait a sec, you turned it DOWN from 4 to 7??? let me get this straight. my cops wasnt/isnt picking up on some balls because i thought the higher the sens number the higher the sensitivity??? please tell me im an idiot and thats why my cops isnt working at its full potential.

Please re-read the post that you quoted. It says he turned it to 4 from 7.

man i am dumb. i even re-read it twice to make sure i wasnt seeing it wrong. sure enough i read it wrong. man i guess your brain doenst work very well right when u wake up. lol.

[andronikos916]

thanx...

one last thing: COPS settings are different from COPS2 ? just wondering?

cy..
