Hi All,
What does GTB term "Run Off" mean when used on GTB schematics?
i.e. "units runoff, tens runoff etc.

Thanks - Bob

I think it's the same thing as an End of Stroke switch. Tells it to stop.

Score motor runout switch etc.

It is a switch that identifies home position, in score motor it lets the motor run until start of cycle, in score reels it operates when reel is at zero.

End of stroke is a different thing. It operates when the unit driving solenoid pulls in.

Some of the key words were used inconsistently. Runout and Runoff are used in the same basic Reset Complete circuit here from different games:

Here Runout and Runoff both mean the Score Reel home or zero position as Tuukka pointed out.
