Aftermarket LCD Upgrade Manual

1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this QubicaAMF Product. To begin, we will discuss the
layout of this manual. Following this Introduction, the second section discusses what to
expect from your upgrade to LCD displays, and important considerations you need to be
aware of.

The next section, Safety Precautions, contains safety instructions and procedures necessary
for the removal of existing equipment and installation of your new product.

The symbol is used to draw your attention to a safety precaution. Please pay
special attention to anything following this symbol!

Read and understand all safety instructions and precautions before starting your work!

The next section pertains to assembly and installation of the QubicaAMF monitor support
frame. You will then find sections devoted to detailed instructions for each type of scoring
system supported by the LCI, followed by easy to find diagrams that will help you with
wiring hookups. The final section is where you’ll go once you are ready to power your
system back up. You’ll find steps to take prior to power-up and troubleshooting tips if
something hasn’t gone as expected.

2 Converting Scoring Overhead CRT’s to LCD displays


Replacing scoring CRT monitors with LCD displays provides a significant improvement in
readability and consistency of display. The conversion is simple and immediately improves
the overall look of any scoring system.

LCD monitors are “fixed pixel” displays which can’t suffer from mis-convergence, focus and
color tracking problems so frequently seen in CRT displays. In addition, they don’t rely on
kilovolt power supplies, so they won’t attract dirt to the screen.

There are also things an LCD can’t do. It’s important to be aware of these when
contemplating a conversion.

1) LCD’s can’t increase the resolution of the picture. They can display the existing
resolution in much finer detail and with greater clarity, but a 320x240 picture will
remain a 320x240 picture enlarged to fit the LCD screen. The scoring display won’t
suddenly become High Definition because you installed a new monitor.

2) Bad video with hum, snow, sparkles and jitter will remain bad video with hum, snow,
sparkles and jitter, displayed brighter and clearer than ever. Replacing the display
isn’t going to fix-up the bad video. You have to clean up the interference and noise
and get rid of the hum to realize the full benefits of replacing the monitor.

P/N 400-283-301 Rev A 7


Aftermarket LCD Upgrade Manual
3) Problems you might ignore on the old CRT like a minor flicker in the display will
become quite annoying with the LCD. The barely noticeable twitch becomes a two-
second blink if you don’t clean up the signal.

Putting a new windshield in your car gives you a clearer view but it doesn’t stop the wheel
shimmy or the engine from burning oil. Be prepared to diagnose and repair the problems
that become magnified by the new display.

Some things to check:

Number one on the list is GROUND connections. Connecting the monitor overhead to the
building frame or the electrical conduit isn’t acceptable. It will probably make things worse.
The same goes for the scoring chassis/computer on the curtain wall. Both pieces of the
system, overhead and curtain-wall, must be at the SAME GROUND POTENTIAL! Just running
a protective earth ground to both pieces of equipment doesn’t work, unless they tie
together in the same panel. The display and scoring computer must be physically
connected to the same ground with direct wires from the same ground terminal in the same
panel. Any voltage difference between the overhead ground and the curtain-wall ground
will cause current to flow in the video cabling. This is the number one source of display
problems.

If the two systems are wired from separate panel boxes (or not supplied with the required
isolated ground), run a heavy, #12 AWG minimum wire from the overhead frame directly to
the scoring chassis. Make sure the connection isn’t insulated by paint.

Check the routing of the video cable that runs from the curtain-wall to the overhead. While
these are shielded cables, the shielding is only about 80% effective. Make sure the cables
are routed far away from fluorescent lights, motors and solenoids at the machines and any
other source of electrical noise. When these cables pick up electrical interference, CRT
displays just show some noise in the picture while LCD monitors will probably blink off and
back on.

Check the AC wiring to the overhead assembly. Neutral (the white or blue wire) is NOT THE
SAME as the protective earth ground (the green or green/yellow wire). They are not
interchangeable; they should NEVER CONNECT TOGETHER except at the first power entry
panel. For North American plugs or receptacles, the neutral wire goes to the wide slot or
prong and the protective earth goes to the long, rounded pin. Don’t get them reversed.
Lamps and fans may work but the scoring will have problems.

Older electrical systems often used the conduit or building frame for the protective ground.
This isn’t acceptable for scoring systems. Properly installed scoring power will have a green
(or green/yellow) wire from the isolated ground screw on the outlet that powers the
overhead (you do have IG outlets don’t you?) to the isolated ground bus in the scoring
8 P/N 400-283-301 Rev A
Aftermarket LCD Upgrade Manual
electrical panel. That same ground bus should have another green wire that extends to the
ground connection on the IG outlet on the curtain-wall into which the scoring is plugged.
While this isolated ground stuff may seem irrelevant for utilitarian wiring, it’s very
important for (especially older) scoring systems with remote video displays.

Don’t plug other stuff into the scoring power. Fog machines, extreme lighting and fans or
TVs often introduce currents into the system ground. Keep scoring circuits for scoring only.

3 Safety Precautions
3.1 Discharging the CRT Tube
The monitor’s CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) must be discharged. Follow the steps below to
discharge the CRT.
CRT monitors use lethal high-voltage. Use caution when working around these
tubes (especially around ladders).
Read and understand all safety requirements when working on CRT monitors!
Do not work on this product alone. Make certain another capable person is
present to assist in the event of injury.
To avoid electric shock, disconnect the power cord.
CRT’s retain hazardous voltages for long periods of time, even after the power
has been removed. They may also build up a charge while disconnected.
Place one hand behind your back. Placing one hand behind your back helps
prevent current from passing through your heart (if you were to touch a high
voltage area). If you are not comfortable with this procedure, consider contacting
a local TV repair center.
The CRTs must be discharged by connecting a discharge
path between ground and the
anode. To do this, you will need an
insulated screwdriver and wire with
alligator clip(s). Connect the wire to
the shaft of the screwdriver with a
clip (Figure 3, top) or wrap the wire
(Figure 3, bottom). Attach the Figure 1 – Brass Connector
Figure 3 – Discharge Tools
alligator clip on the other end to
something on the CRT with a good
connection to the black conductive
coating on the rear of the tube (i.e. -
the brass connector (Figure 1) or the
braided wire (Figure 2)). Figure 2 – Braided Wire

Now, slide the flat head end of the screwdriver under the
Figure 4 – Discharging the rubber cap and into the anode opening (Figure 4). You may or
Anode may not hear an electric crackle. The tube has now been
discharged.

Aftermarket LCD Upgrade Manual
3.2 Preparing Your Work Area
You will need the following items:
Scaffolding with wheels (to support 400lbs)
Phillips head screwdriver
Flat blade screwdriver
7/16, 1/2 inch open end wrenches
Wire cutters
Installation instructions
Large piece of cardboard to place both CRT’s
Assemble scaffolding according to manufacturer’s directions. Position the scaffolding
under the overhead to be changed out.

Make certain that the wheels have been locked before attempting to perform any work
on the platform.

Before working on the monitors, make sure the power has been turned off.

Remove both monitor rear covers and place out of working area. Unplug the overhead AC
plug at the side of the incoming power housing. Turn
off the scoring unit.

3.3 Removing Existing CRTs


Unplug all AC power cables to both monitors and the
Monitor control board AC Box. Unplug the video
cables to both monitors and store out of the way for
later use. If present, remove speaker cables and store
for later use.

If you have not discharged the CRT, do so at this time!


Figure 5 - Scaffolding
For safety, position two or more people around the
monitor. Pick up at rear of monitor and remove securing nut from stud while supporting
monitor. Lift front of monitor out of slot in housing.

DO NOT support the monitor using the front bezel (if assembled). The screws can
break off resulting in a dropped monitor!

DO Support monitor from the bottom.

P/N 400-283-301 Rev A 11


Aftermarket LCD Upgrade Manual
Carefully lower the monitor from the scaffold and place front down on a piece of cardboard.
Repeat this step for the other monitor.

3.1 Existing Hanger


Make certain at least two people are available to support the hanger. Open the quick links
on one side and carefully remove the hanger from the chain support. Repeat on the other
side and lower cautiously to the floor, out of the way.

4 Hanger Assembly and Monitor Hanging

If your scoring system uses S-video cabling, it is strongly


recommended you make this connection prior to installing the
hanger bracket to the rear of the monitor.

The correct tool to use for this hardware is an 8MM nut


driver. Use caution when tightening monitor hanger hardware! Over-
tightening can cause severe damage. Refer to the Hanger Assembly
instructions and the warning on the next page for more information.
