Bill Validator Door Assembly

A lock assembly and a release mechanism secure the Bill Validator Door Assembly,
which is on the Control Panel Assembly (the release mechanism is situated on the
underside of the Control Panel Assembly, immediately beneath the Bill Validator Door
Assembly). The Bill Validator Door Assembly provides access to the Bill Validator and
Bill Stacker.
A microswitch situated on the underside of the Bill Validator Door Assembly senses
when the Bill Validator Door is open.

Bill Validator Assembly

The Bill Validator Assembly incorporates the Bill Validator and Bill Stacker. The Bill
Validator Assembly is accessed through the Bill Validator Door Assembly. The Bill
Validator Assembly, once unlocked, pivots at its base to allow removal of the Bill
Stacker by gaining access through the Bill Validator Door Assembly.
A microswitch situated on the underside of the Bill Validator Locking Arm senses when
the Bill Validator is unlocked for servicing of the Bill Stacker
Bill Validator
The Bill Validator receives notes that are entered through the Bill Validator Door
Assembly and accepts or rejects notes based on the note validity. If the Bill Validator
rejects a note, the note returns to the player through the Bill Validator Door Assembly.
If the Bill Validator accepts the note, it is guided into the Bill Stacker for storage. The
Bill Validator can be separated on a pivot to provide access to clear minor note jam
clearances.
The Bill Validator incorporates an illuminated bezel which indicates to the player
whether the Bill Validator can accept notes and of which denominations. The
illuminated bezel incorporates four rows of LEDs which when operating normally
illuminate sequentially, indicating that notes may be entered into the machine. Constant
illumination of a single row of LEDs indicates that there is a fault associated with the
validator (refer to the Bill Validator Bezel Error Display list in Chapter 5).
Bill Stacker
The Bill Stacker provides a secure facility for storing notes (up to 500) accepted by the
Bill Validator for retrieval by the operator. The stacker contains a memory device that
records the number and denominations of notes it contains. The stacker comprises a
lock assembly for access to the stored notes once the stacker has been removed from
the machine. The interior of the stacker accommodates a mechanism that retains the
notes under spring tension once they have been inserted. The Bill Stacker connects to
the Bill Validator when the Bill Validator Assembly is in the lowered (normal) position by
the use of a self-aligning connector, which disconnects from the Bill Validator when the
Bill Validator Assembly is rotated to remove the stacker for note retrieval.

The Button Panel Assembly consists of illuminated push buttons that the player uses to
interact with the EGM. The buttons also allow the operator and service technician to
carry out testing and audit functions on the machine. The buttons can be replaced
individually, or the buttons may be relamped or have microswitches replaced without
the need to remove the entire button.
Cashbox Chute Assembly

The Cashbox Chute Assembly is a welded metal assembly that guides coins from the
Coin Chute Assembly to the Coin box.

Arm Rest
The Armrest is provided for player comfort and to preclude injury.
Player Tracking Module (If Installed)

Refer to the applicable vendor publication for information on the Player Tracking
Module.
Meter Blanking Panel (As Installed for Queensland)

The Meter Blanking Panel covers the Meter Assembly viewing windows and can be
removed by the operator as required.

The Security Housing Assembly is attached to the Cabinet Body Assembly in the aft
left corner of the cabinet. The Security Housing Assembly houses the printed circuit
board assemblies that control the operation of the machine.
Opening the Control Panel Assembly and removing the Hopper Assembly gain access
to the Security Housing Assembly. Access to the printed circuit board assemblies can
then be gained by unlocking the lock assembly and removing the Door which also
provides access to the connectors on the Connector Board.
A microswitch on the Security Housing Assembly lock allows the machine to monitor
when the Security Housing Assembly and record the incident and/or alarm the operator
via an audible alarm.
The major circuit boards within the Security Housing Assembly are as follows:
• Main Board
• Interface Board
• Connector Board
A Back plane Board situated at the rear of the Security Housing Assembly provides a
means of inter-connection between the Connector Board and Interface Board.
The Connector Board and Interface Board are mounted on rail assemblies and connect
to other devices via the Back plane Board, wiring harnesses and connectors.
The Main Board is mounted on a rail assembly and connects to other devices within
the machine by the use of wiring harnesses and connectors.
Main Board
The Main Board provides the controlling and operating function of the machine. The
board contains the CPU, Custom Board (Video Card), Auxiliary PCB (Audio and
Security functions), game software, EPROMS, RAM and Flash memory, among others.

Interface Board
The Interface Board is the main IO board of the machine. The board provides the
control signals and detects the input signals of the machine. The board is responsible
for the filtering, buffering and level converting of the interface signals of the machine
and can be defined in the following blocks: Push button system, Lamps driving system,
Serial communications system, Coin validator interface system, Hopper interface
system, General purpose I/O system, Door optic security system, Mechanical Meters
interface, Power control system, Bill validator indication interface, CPLDs (Complex
Programmable Logic Devices), Main board interface and a Local Power Supply.
