2.2 Installation Procedure

WARNING:
An appropriately licensed technician must install and commission the EGM.

The following procedures are used to mount, connect and commission the EGM into service.

WARNING:
Take care during shipping and transit to prevent EGMs from toppling. Secure all
loads prior to transport.
Ensure all EGMs and/or base assemblies being moved are secured to form a
single assembly.
Base assemblies or furniture must be constructed appropriately to support the
weight of the EGM as well as loads applied from forces imposed, in keeping with
relevant standards.

Installation and commissioning of EGMs, including configuring machine options and the
sealing/unsealing of logic cages must comply with the regulations of the jurisdictional authority.

2.2.1 Mounting
The EGM and the cabinet base that supports the EGM must be installed as follows to ensure
the assembled unit meets all safety requirements with regard to possible tip over. EGMs or
EGM/cabinet base assemblies must not be toppled by, for example, leaning on an open door or
attempted vandalism.

To mount the EGM to the cabinet base:

1. Position the EGM on the cabinet base, aligning it with the cable holes and other
penetrations (refer to EGM footprint figure).

WARNING:
There are four mounting hole positions in the base. The EGM must be fixed in all
four hole positions (two at the front and two at the back) to ensure the EGM meets
tip-over (stability) requirements.

2. Drill holes in the cabinet base to match the EGM mounting holes for bolts and nuts or use
the special-purpose fasteners provided to secure the EGM to the base.
3. Insert the fasteners, fit the nuts and tighten to ensure that the EGM is mounted securely.

3.1 Modes of Operation


The electronic gaming machine (EGM) operates in two modes:

 Play mode permits game play while the lower main door is closed and locked, the
meter/audit key is in the neutral position and there are no fault or lockup conditions.
 Audit mode enables the operator to configure the EGM, view audit information, carry out
EGM tests and reset EGM faults. To access this mode, set the meter/audit key to the audit
position.

3.2 Play Mode


In play mode the EGM:

 Permits game play.


 Displays graphics for player operation.
 Operates security and audit features.
 Monitors and records game play.
 Runs self-checking/testing.
 Displays guidance for players, operators and technicians.

Depending on how the EGM is configured, credits may be registered by:

 Inserting coins.
 Inserting tokens.
 Inserting bank notes.
 Using a cashless system.

In a cashless system, credits are transferred to and from the EGM by either a computer link or a
smart card. The EGM has security features to ensure that only valid currency is accepted.

The player determines how many credits to wager by pressing one of the [Bet] playbuttons. The
bet meter on the screen shows the credits wagered.

The player starts a game by pressing one of the active playbuttons. The EGM runs the game
sequence and displays the outcome on the screen.

The EGM is equipped with electronic audit meters that continuously monitor and record credit
movement and game activity. This information is used for audit calculations and security
purposes. Electromechanical meters may also be fitted.

If the EGM encounters an abnormal condition, it alerts the operator by automatically entering
lockup. In lockup, game play is disabled to prevent any further player interaction and guidance
information is displayed in the game message area.

 Game percentage.
 Base credit value (a game credit), EGM token amount for coin entry and acceptable bank
note denominations.
 Links to house and stand-alone progressives in various levels.
 Hopper coin-collect limit.
 Game gamble option.
 Volume settings for sounds and tunes.

For more information, refer to the Operator Mode Menu - Operator Setup/Selections Menu.

NOTE:
Jurisdictional requirements must be followed when configuring EGMs.

3.2.1 Player Operation


When the EGM is switched on and the lower main door is closed and locked, the EGM
automatically conducts a self-test. If no faults occur game play begins.

Credits are added to the EGM and the credit meter on the main LCD screen increments and the
mid-trim playbuttons become active and flash. The player may add more credits or press one of
the playbuttons to play the game.

The player selects the number of credits to bet. The number of bets selected is shown on the
bet meter on the main LCD screen.

To begin game play the player pushes the [Play] playbutton. The line combinations are
evaluated at the end of each game played. If a result is a winning combination, a win tune plays
and the main LCD screen shows the number of credits won in the win meter.

The player may send the credits in the win meter to the credit meter by pressing the [Take Win]
playbutton or collect the amount won as a payout by pressing the [Collect] playbutton. The
payout can be collected from the hopper (via the coin tray), the printer (via a ticket) or an
attendant (via a handpay).

When the player collects a win, the EGM prevents functions such as game play and currency
entry until the hopper has dispensed the coins into the coin tray. A hopper sensor counts the
coins being dispensed and the credit meter decrements to zero.

Due to the limit on the number of coins that can be held in the hopper and other payout
considerations, there is a limit to the number of coins that the EGM can pay out. This is called
the hopper collect limit and it may be set via the Operator Mode Menu, by the site controller or
by the host system, depending on EGM and game configuration.

When a player collects a win, the value of the game credits is greater than the hopper collect
limit or the EGM is not configured to pay out via the hopper and a printer is available, a ticket is
printed. The game credit on the screen and the Credit electronic meter are reset to zero.

3-7
Machine Modes Service Manual

When a player collects a win, the value of the game credits is greater than the hopper collect
limit and a printer is not available, the cancel credit procedure is used to handpay the amount:
 The message Cancel Credit Call Attendant is displayed (the value of credits to be
paid out is displayed).
 The attendant handpays the value of the credits and resets the EGM using the reset key.
 The message Credits paid out $99.99 is displayed on the screen.
 The Cancel Credit electronic meters and electromechanical meters record the number of
credits paid out.
 The game credit on the screen and the Credit electronic meter and electromechanical
meters are reset to zero.

Pressing the [Reserve] playbutton displays the message Machine Reserved on the screen.
This enables players to reserve an EGM for a short period. Pressing the [Service] playbutton
lights a tier in the light tower to catch the attention of floor attendants.

3.2.2 Main LCD Screen


The main LCD screen provides high-resolution graphics which can display attractive game
illustrations and animations, as well as player messages, operator menus and information
displays.

The simulated spinning reels take up most of the screen area. The area at the top of the screen
displays credit, bet and win information. The message display area is between these two areas.
The coin denomination icon is shown in the top right or bottom right of the screen.

The main LCD screen is fitted with a touch screen that enables games to be played by touching
designated areas of the screen.

3.2.3 Sounds and Tunes


Sounds and tunes are used in combination with graphics and animation to increase game
appeal.

Different sounds signify various EGM conditions such as alarm, reel spin, reel stop, win, lose,
double-up win, jackpot bell, coins entering the EGM and coins falling to coin tray. Each game
has specific sounds and tunes. The volume of the sound system can be adjusted in the Sound
System Setup display.

A generic attract mode tune lasting approximately five seconds accompanies the occurrence of
the attract mode screen. It repeats at one minute intervals until attract mode is exited. Attract
mode is configured in the Attract Mode Setup display.

3.2.4 Playbuttons
Playbutton layouts vary in different jurisdictions and for different games. Each playbutton has a
LED behind it that may either be lit, unlit, flashing, or flashing at double speed, depending on the
game situation and the machine mode.

3-8
Service Manual Machine Modes

3.2.5 EGM Self-Test


When the EGM is switched on, it automatically initiates a self-test that continues in the
background as long as the EGM is in play mode. During the self-test, the EGM checks the
electronic meter data held in computer memory and carries out audit calculations using
essential meter counts. The self-audit calculation formula varies depending on EGM
configuration.

The memory holds up to three copies of the electronic meter data: Meter Set 1, Meter Set 2 and
Meter Set 3. If the data in one meter set does not match that in the other two sets, the data of
the two identical sets overwrites the single set.

3.2.6 Security
When the EGM is in play mode, it continuously operates with the following security features.

Coin Handling Assembly (if fitted)


The Coin Handling Assembly consists of a coin validator to determine the validity of inserted
coins, a coin diverter and coin chuting to direct coins to the correct destination and a photo-optic
module to monitor the position of the coin diverter. The Coin Handling Assembly is fitted and
adjusted at the factory to suit a specific coin denomination.

The coin entry is located on the mid trim and is set to accept a specific coin denomination for a
particular EGM. It does not accept oversized or bent coins.

The coin validator, coin chuting and diverter solenoid are mounted to a panel on the inside of
the lower main door. Coins pass through the validator after they are inserted into the coin entry.
Accepted coins are directed to the hopper or cashbox via the accept chute and rejected coins
are directed to the coin tray via the reject chute.

If the inserted coin is valid, the appropriate credits are registered in the game credit display and
game play may take place. The Cash In and Credit jurisdictional meters and the Cash In
electromechanical meter are incremented accordingly.

The credit meter on the game display accumulates in credits and the electronic meters
accumulate in whole and decimal monetary units. The electromechanical meters accumulate in
whole and decimal monetary units but only display to the nearest whole monetary unit.

Coins are sent to the hopper until it is full. After this, coins are diverted to the cashbox.

The EGM software monitors the signals from the Coin Handling Assembly. Unusual conditions
and faults such as Coin Acceptor Fault and Coin Diverter Fault are registered by
EGM lockup, video messages and increments in the appropriate diagnostic meters.

If the EGM software indicates that coins intended for the hopper are diverted to the cashbox or
vice versa, the Cashbox Instead Hopper or Hopper Instead Cashbox diagnostic meter is
incremented. These totals allow adjustment and balancing of the hopper and cashbox
collections.

3-9
Machine Modes Service Manual

Hopper (if fitted)


If the hopper is empty and the player is in credit and collects a win, the EGM locks up and
display a Hopper Empty message and the Hopper Empty electronic meter increments. The
hopper is refilled according to house rules, after which game play may resume.

During a payout, the hopper disc rotates and passes coins onto the coin runner where they are
counted by the hopper photo-optic detector. After passing the detector, they are deposited in the
coin tray for the player to collect. Also:

 The Cash Out electronic meter and the Coins Out electromechanical meter are
incremented by the amount paid out.
 The game credit on the screen and the Credit electronic meter are decremented by the
amount paid out.
 A payout message is displayed on the screen showing the value paid out.

The EGM monitors the hopper operation and the coin’s passage from the hopper to the coin
tray. Unusual conditions and faults are registered by increments in the diagnostic meters, video
messages and EGM lockups. These fault conditions are Illegal Coin Out, Hopper
Empty, Hopper Jammed and Hopper Disconnected.

Bank Note Acceptor (if fitted)


The bank note acceptor consists of an optical scanning unit and a note stacker contained in
high-security housing. The scanning unit achieves a high percentage of acceptances. A second-
level scanning option can be initiated for high-denomination bank notes. During operation, the
bank note acceptor registers acceptances and rejections. Accepted bank notes increment the
Cash In electronic meter and electromechanical meter. Detailed information is recorded in the
Note Acceptor meters, which may be accessed from Operator Mode Menu > Accounting
Information Menu. These meters record the value and quantity of each bank note accepted. A
record is also kept of the last five bank notes accepted.

The EGM monitors the bank note acceptor operation and unusual conditions and faults are
registered by incrementing the diagnostic meters, by displaying messages and by causing the
EGM to lock up. The lockups and display messages include Note Acceptor Error and
Note Acceptor Out of Service. If the bank note stacker door is open, the alarm sounds
and the message Note Stacker Removed is displayed. A lockup occurs if the bank note
acceptor stacker becomes full. The lockup description and display message is Note Acceptor
Full.

The Machine Options menu enables the bank note acceptor to be set on or off and to be
configured to recognise specific bank note denominations.

3-10
Service Manual Machine Modes

Door Security
A number of mechanical and optical security switches may be used to monitor door access. All
mechanical security switches are battery-backed to enable door access to be detected even
when the EGM is not powered.

If a door fitted with a security switch is opened while the EGM is powered:
 A Door Open message is displayed on the screen, specifying which door is open (a Door
Mismatch message refers to an EGM fault where the mechanical and the optical door
security switches are not operating correctly).
 The alarm sound is heard.
 The EGM locks up, suspending game play.
 The appropriate Door Accesses diagnostic meter is incremented.

The condition is reset by closing the appropriate door or by correcting faulty or poorly aligned
mechanical/optical door switches. The security signals are typically distributed as follows.

Table 3-1 Door Security Functions

Security Mechanical Optical


0 Logic cage Main door
1 Topbox ----
2 Electromechanical meters ----
3 Cashbox door ----
4 Main door ----
5 Bank note stacker cage door ----
6 Belly panel door ----

NOTE:
The actual distribution and use of security switches will depend on the individual
EGM configuration.

In some jurisdictions, the cashbox door security switch function is not required. To meet this
jurisdictional standard, a loop-back plug is installed to simulate that the cashbox door is always
closed.

Door Security During Power Off


All doors are monitored when power is off. When power is turned on, a series of messages on
the main LCD screen show which doors have been opened and closed. Typical messages are
Door Open - Main, Door Open - Belly Panel, Security Cage Closed - Main
Board. The events are included in the EGM logs and time stamped to the power-on time. Refer
to Diagnostic Information Menu - Doors Log.

Machine Modes Service Manual

3.2.8 Electromechanical Meters


The EGM may be fitted with electromechanical meters and electronic meters. These meters
form part of the comprehensive security system by recording the results of EGM operations.

NOTE:
An EGM fitted with electromechanical meters does not function if the meters are
not connected.
Due to factory tests, the meter values are not set to zero on delivery of an EGM.
Record the initial meter values before using the EGM.

The meters cannot be reset and are cumulative for the life of the meter. They accumulate and
display currency unless a stroke meter is used. A stroke meter provides a numerical count.
Currency accumulations are accurate but the meters only display amounts in whole units. To
read the electromechanical meters, turn the meter/audit key switch anticlockwise to illuminate
the area, then view the meters through the viewing window.

Electromechanical meters are monitored for abnormal conditions, cage accesses and meter
disconnection. When abnormal conditions are detected, the following steps are performed:

1. Game play is suspended and the alarm sounds.


2. The appropriate lockup message is displayed. One of the following:
Meters Faulty
Meters Cage Open
Meters Disconnected.
3. The appropriate electronic meter increments.

The condition is cleared when the EGM is reset, the lockup is removed and the door is closed.
Refer to Operator Mode Menu - Current Active Lockup.

3.2.9 Electronic Meters


The electronic meters record details relating to EGM operation, game play and player
interaction, as well as statistical counts, security events and past games. Players have the
assurance there is a record kept of recent win and pay events. When the EGM is switched on, it
automatically initiates a self-test that continues in the background as long as the EGM is in play
mode. During the self-test, the EGM checks the electronic meter data held in memory.

Some jurisdictions require electronic metering data to be stored in three separate battery-
backed RAM chips. In the case of a meter malfunction in which meters sets do not match, the
EGM displays an error message and the EGM locks up. This message can also indicate that the
game software has been changed or a serious EGM malfunction has occurred.

Cabinet Service Manual

4.3.1 General Description


The player marketing module (PMM) provides a range of services for players through a
magnetic stripe card reader, a character display unit and service buttons. Functions are
integrated into the venue head system.

The PMM fitted may be from one of several manufacturers, including Bally, GRIPS, IGT,
Sentinel and Aristocrat™. The following descriptions are based on the Aristocrat PMM. While
the internal components may vary slightly between manufacturers, the functionality of the
devices remains the same. Refer to other manufacturers' manuals for more information.

The player uses a magnetic strip card to communicate with the PMM system. The player inserts
the card into a card reader and the PMM reads the information stored on the card. The host
processor determines who is playing the EGM and sends messages to the player via the PMM
liquid crystal display (LCD). The player communication function allows scope for the marketing
strategies of the venue.

The PMM connects to the venue head system.

4.3.2 Technical Description


A description of the technical details of the Aristocrat PMM follows.

Magnetic Stripe Card Reader


The magnetic stripe card reader is a manual feed Omron type 3S4YR-SBR. The card reader
reads approximately 66% of the magnetic stripe. The reader works with magnetic cards
conforming to AS3522.2 and ISO 2894 and 3554. The magnetic stripe cards used can contain
up to 10 characters of information.

The reader has a minimum life of 300,000 card insertions.

Service Buttons
The service buttons are made of two pieces: the service button PCB, which includes the switch,
and a plastic push-on cap.

4.3.3 Machine Communications Setup


A setup procedure links the EGM to the host computer network. Details of this setup procedure
are detailed in the venue head system support publications.

The setup involves logging the venue head system communications interface to the host
processor along with the identification number of the EGM, usually located on the upper left side
of the play window, via the PMM.

The service buttons perform dual functions, providing cursor movement and acceptance of
options through the LCD menu when installing the communications interface onto the network.

Cabinet Service Manual

Upon completion of the setup procedure, the EGM becomes functional and a range of player
services and programs are available to EGM players. Also, links are established between the
host computer and components in the EGM which enable security control and EGM monitoring.

NOTE:
The procedure for installing the venue head system communications interface to
the host processor remains the same regardless of the front decal in use. For
example, if the front decal has only one button visible, the other two buttons
function in the manner previously described in this section for installation, even
though they are hidden and not used during normal EGM operation.

5.2.2 Input Functional Specifications


The table below lists AC input voltage and frequency requirements for uninterrupted operation.
The power supply is capable of supplying full-rated output power over a wide input voltage
range, can automatically recover from AC power loss and can start up under peak loading at
90V AC.

Table 5-4 AC Input Line Requirements

Parameter Minimum Maximum Unit


Vin 90 264 VAC rms
Vin Frequency 47 63 Hz

To meet the EMC requirements an active power factor corrected input stage is used. The power
supply automatically recovers from any brownout condition.

Inrush Current Limiting


The maximum inrush when the PSU is turned on is limited to less than any excluding equipment
associated with mains GPO when the power is turned on at either 115V AC and 230V AC at any
point of the AC cycle. It excludes transient current due to EMI suppression capacitors. The
inrush applies to both cold and hot starting conditions.

Input Under Voltage


The power supply contains protection circuitry in case of potential damage caused by the
application of an input voltage below the minimum specified.

Input Over Current Protection


The power supply incorporates primary fusing for input over current protection to prevent
damage to the power supply and to meet safety requirements. Fuses are the slow-blow type or
equivalent to prevent nuisance trips. Fuses cannot be accessed or serviced by operators.

Input Leakage Current


Maximum leakage current from the power supply (excluding equipment associated with mains
GPO outlets) is less than 400µA at 120V AC.

5-7
Power Supply Service Manual

5.2.3 Output Functional Specifications


The following section outlines the output specifications for the PSU.

AC Outputs
GPO outputs are used to power mains associated equipment within the EGM. Outputs are
filtered to protect against conducted EMI from the connected devices and also to provide
immunity from mains disturbances for the connected devices.

Table 5-5 AC Outputs

Output Controlled by… Maximum Rating Load Regulation


GPO1 A single pole switch located 1A Better than 1% at
adjacent to the output max. load
GPO2 The mains power switch 1A Better than 1% at
max. load

The GPO outputs are protected against over current by means of a fuse. To allow for the inrush
current associated with the peripherals used, a slow fuse is used, rated at 3.15A. The fuse
holders are located adjacent to the outputs and are externally accessible.

DC Outputs
DC outputs provide power to components that require DC voltage.

DC Voltage Regulation
The DC output voltages are within the regulation ranges shown in the table below. Voltages are
measured at the output connectors under all line, load and environmental conditions.

Table 5-6 DC Output Voltage Regulation

Output Tolerance Min. Nom. Max.


+12VDC ± 2.5% 12.00 12.30 12.60
+5VSB ± 5% 4.75 5.00 5.25
+24V1DC ± 2.5 % 23.4 24.0 24.6
+24V2DC ± 2.5 % 23.4 24.0 24.6

The DC rail +24V1DC are used as a distributed rail for supplying EGM peripherals.

The +24V2DC output is used for lighting. It is derived directly from the +24V1DC output.
+24V2DC has an inhibit control input.

5-8
Service Manual Power Supply

DC Output Currents
The output current capability of individual DC rails is defined in the table below. Peak rating
describes short current demands of peripherals when in the active state.

Table 5-7 DC Output Currents

Output Min Max Peak


+12VDC 0.5 10A 15A
+5VSB 0 2A 3A
+24V1DC 0.5 6.5A 11.5A
+24V2DC 20 4.5A 7.1A

If +24V1DC is not being used, then the extra power is available from +24V2DC.

Output Transient Response


The table below summarises the expected output transient step sizes for each output.

Table 5-8 DC Output Transient Step Sizes

Output Maximum Step Size Maximum Transient Load


(% of rated output amps) Slew Rates3 (A/μs)
+12VDC 40% 1.0
+5VSB 0.5A Not specified
+24V1DC 40% 1.0
+24V2DC 50% 1.0

Efficiency
The power supply is at least 75% efficient under load conditions greater than 50% of nominal. In
standby mode, the efficiency of the power supply is greater than 50% when the 5VSB current is
greater than 1A.

The power supply is designed for low standby power. When in standby mode, the power supply
is at least 50% efficient. Standby efficiency is measured with the DC outputs off and PS_ONn in
active state.

Output Max. Ripple and Noise (mVpp)


+12VDC 120
+5VSB 50
+24V1DC 200
+24V2DC 200

Capacitive Loads
The power supply powers up and operates with the following maximum capacitive loads
simultaneously present on DC outputs.

Table 5-10 Output Capacitive Loads

Output Capacitive Load (uF)


+12VDC 10,000
+5VSB 500
+24V1DC 10,000
+24V2DC 4,000

Closed-loop Stability
The power supply is unconditionally stable under all line/load/transient load conditions including
capacitive loads. A minimum of 45 degrees phase margin and 10dB gain margin is supplied at
both the maximum and minimum loads.

Power Sequencing
The +24V1DC and +12VDC rails track each other on power-up and on power-down. +24V1DC
output level is equal to or greater than the +12VDC output at all times.

Voltage Hold-up Time


The power supply is designed with a high susceptibility to mains disturbance. It must maintain
output despite a loss of input power at the low-end nominal range (115V AC/47Hz or 230V
AC/47Hz) at maximum continuous output load as applicable for a minimum combined time of
45ms.

5-10
Service Manual Power Supply

PWR_FAILn
The PWR_FAILn is an active-low signal that provides a warning to the EGM of mains failure.
When input mains rectified voltage falls below a threshold indicating insufficient level of energy,
the PWR_FAILn signal is activated.

Minimum duration of PWR_FAILn activity is longer than 5ms to provide sufficient time for
detection.

Table 5-11 PWR_FAILn Voltage Levels

Signal Voltage
PWR_FAILn active <0.4V @ 5mA
PWR_FAILn inactive >6V

PS_ONn
PS_ONn is an active-low, TTL-compatible signal that allows Gen7 electronics to remotely
control the power supply for wake on LAN (WOL). When PS_ONn is pulled to TTL low, the
power supply turns on +12VDC and +24V1DC. When PS_ONn is pulled to TTL high or open-
circuited, the DC output rails do not deliver current and are held at zero potential with respect to
ground.

PS_ONn has no effect on the +5VSB output, which is always enabled whenever the AC power
is present.

Table 5-12 PS_ONn Signal Characteristics

Signal Voltage
PS_ONn active <0.8V @ -1.6mA
PS_ONn inactive 2 - 5.25V @ -200uA

24V2_OFFn
24V2_OFFn is a current limiting device supplying 24V2DC and providing switch capability.
24V2_OFFn is driven by an active-low, open collector signal from the Gen7 electronics to
remotely control the 24V2DC rail. When 24V2_OFFn is pulled to low state, the power supply
turns off +24V2DC and the rail is held at zero potential.

Table 5-13 24VF_OFFn Voltage Levels

Signal Voltage and Current


24VF_OFFn active <0.4V @ 5mA
24VF_OFFn inactive >6V

5-11
Power Supply Service Manual

+5VSB
+5VSB is a standby supply output that is active whenever AC power is present and the main
switch is on. This standby 5V provides a power source for circuits that must remain operational
when other DC output rails are in a disabled state. Over current protection is provided on the
+5VSB output.

Power-On Time
The power-on time is the time from when PS_ONn is pulled low to when the +12VDC and
+24V1DC outputs are within the regulation ranges.

The power-on time is defined as T1 in the table below. +5VSB has a power-on time of two
seconds maximum after application of valid AC voltages.

Table 5-14 Power Supply Timing

Parameter Description Value


T1 Power on time <500ms
T2 Power rails rise time 2 - 20ms
T3 PWR_FAILn delay 5 - 500ms
T4 PWR_FAILn rise/ fall times 50 - 200us
T5 Hold up time to PWR_FAILn active >20ms
T6 Power fail warning >25ms

Rise Time
The output voltages will raise to the regulation ranges within T2 as defined in the power supply
timing table. There is a smooth and continuous ramp of each DC output voltage from 10% to
90% of its final set point within the regulation band.

Overshoot at Turn-on/Turn-off
The output voltage overshoot upon the application or removal of the input voltage or the
assertion/deassertion of PS_ONn is less than 10% the nominal voltage.

Reset after Shutdown


If the power supply latches into a shutdown state because of a fault condition on its outputs, the
power supply returns to normal operation only after the fault has been removed and either the
PSON signal is cycled or the main power supply switch has been turned off/on with a minimum
off time of three seconds.

+5VSB at AC Power-Down
After AC power is removed, the +5VSB standby voltage output will remain at its steady state
value for the minimum hold-up time specified in voltage holdup time until the output begins to
decrease in voltage.

5-12
Service Manual Power Supply

Output Protection
The power supply unit includes measures to protect EGM components from events such as
power surges and power failures.

Over Voltage Protection


The over voltage sense circuitry and reference reside in devices that are separate and distinct
from the regulator control circuitry and reference to prevent a single failure point.

Over voltage protection behaves such that:

 Over voltage on +24V or +12V will cause latched shutdown of +24V and +12V.
 Over voltage on +5VSB will shutdown all outputs (non-latched) and the +5VSB will auto-
recover.

Table 5-15 DC Output Over Voltage Limits

Over Voltage Trip Limits


Output
Min Max
+12VDC 13.4 15.6
+5VSB 5.74 7.0
+24V1DC 25.5 29

Overload and Short Circuit Protection


All outputs are electronically overload and short circuit protected.

Overload and short circuit protection behaves such that:

 An overload or short circuit on either the +24V or +12V causes a latched shutdown of the
+12V and +24V rails.
 An overload or short circuit on the +5VSB causes a non-latched shutdown of all rails and
the +5VSB recovers once the fault condition has passed.
 An overload or short circuit between the +12V and the +24V rails causes a latched
shutdown of the +12V and +24V rails.
 A short circuit occurring between the +5VSB and either the +12V or the +24V causes a
non-latched shutdown of all rails. The +5VSB will recover once the fault condition has
passed.

The power supply is capable of withstanding a continuous short-circuit to the output without
damage or overstress to the unit. Limits for overload are given in the table below. An overload or
short circuit must be present for 50 to 100ms before the outputs are shut down.

5-13
Power Supply Service Manual

No-Load Operation
No damage or hazardous condition should occur with all the DC output connectors disconnected
from the load. The power supply may latch into the shutdown state.

Over Temperature Protection


The power supply includes an over temperature protection sensor that will trip and shutdown the
power supply at a preset temperature point. Such an overheated condition is typically the result
of internal current overloading or a cooling fan failure. The PWR_FAILn signal is initiated before
the PSU thermally shuts down.

Service Manual Coin Handling Assembly

6.1 Overview
The coin handling system verifies coins and directs valid coins to the hopper or cashbox and
invalid coins to the coin tray. It is fitted and configured at the factory to suit a specific coin
denomination or token and consists of:

 A coin entry.
 A coin validator.
 A coin diverter.
 Coin chuting.
 A photo-optic module.

The coin entry is located above the mid trim on the pay panel. It ensures that coins are directed
into the validator. Only configured coin denominations are accepted by the validator. Accepted
coins are directed to the accept chute and rejected coins are directed to the coin tray via the
reject chute. Oversized or bent coins are rejected.

The coin validator works by comparing the properties of inserted coins to preset limits stored in
the validator software. When coins pass through the validator, signals are sent to the carrier
board to update the credit meters.

The coin validator, diverter solenoid and coin chuting are mounted on the inside of the door.

6.2 Coin Validators


Coin validators verify that currency is valid and send the value to the EGM to register as credits.

Coin validators use a standard casino parallel protocol to communicate with the EGM. The
validator connects to the backplane board. There is a provision to use the ccTalk protocol if
needed.

6.2.1 Condor Coin Validator (if fitted)


The Condor coin validator is pre-programmed to accept a specific coin type. Once the coin is in
the validator, it passes a sensor coil that detects its diameter, thickness and magnetic
properties. This allows the validator to accurately discriminate between different coins.

Legend
1 Debris Flap 3 Locating Pin (4 off) 5 Rejected Coins Exit
2 Coin Entry 4 Connector for Loom to 6 Accepted Coins Exit
EGM

Basic Operation
The validator uses both inductive and optical sensors for coin validation. When a coin passes
the inductive sensors, which are located on either side of the coin path, the resulting signal
change is checked by a microcontroller. The optical sensors measure the coin diameter using
infrared beams.

Accepted coins are directed to the hopper or the cashbox, depending on whether or not the
hopper is full. If no hopper is fitted, coins are always directed to the cashbox.

If the validator detects a coin moving in the wrong direction (yoyo) or a failed or blocked credit or
reject optic, an alarm is generated. Upon receiving the alarm signal, a fault message displays on
the screen and the EGM locks up.

If the validator detects a problem, the LED flashes red continuously and the validator does not
accept any coins until power is removed and the fault condition corrected. Do not remove the
unit from the EGM to perform a coin acceptance test, as this may cause a high rejection rate.

Basic Operation
The Microcoin QL coin validator uses a proprietary technique to recognise and validate different
coins.

The coin path in the Microcoin QL is designed to prevent coin jams. The coin maintains contact
with the control surface as it travels through the acceptor.

The validator contains a metal anti-stringing gate to prevent yoyo attempts. It offers both
mechanical and electronic security measures to counter fraudulent activities.

6.3 Diverter Solenoid and Photo-Optic Sensor


The diverter solenoid and the photo-optic sensor are mounted at the back of the coin handling
assembly.

The diverter solenoid is mechanically linked to the coin diverter in the coin chute assembly.
When there is no power to the solenoid, valid coins fall into the hopper. When power is applied
to the solenoid, the diverter redirects valid coins to the cashbox.

The photo-optic sensor monitors the position of the diverter solenoid. This enables the EGM
software to monitor the destination of accepted coins. If the EGM software detects that five
consecutive coins intended for the hopper are diverted to the cashbox or vice versa, the EGM
locks up with the fault message Coin Diverter Fault.

6.4 Maintenance
The following procedures are used to maintain the coin handling system.

6.4.1 Coin Validator


To clean the coin validator, open the debris flap and clean the coin path using canned air, a
clean dry cloth or a soft long-bristled paintbrush.

Removing Coin Jams


If a coin jam occurs:

1. Open the main door and switch off the EGM.


2. Pull open the debris flap to access the coin path.
3. Clear any coin jams or other foreign objects from the path.
4. Close the debris flap. Switch on the EGM and close the lower main door.

Coins are now able to pass through the coin path.

Service Manual Hopper

7.1 Overview
Accepted coins are directed through the coin handling assembly to the hopper or to the cashbox
when the hopper is full. When Collect is pressed and there are credits on the EGM, the hopper
dispenses coins into the coin tray via the coin exit chute.

The hopper can pay out any number of coins above the coin/token value and below the hopper
collect limit (the maximum value of coins that can be paid from the hopper). The token value and
the hopper collect limit are set in the relevant audit screen.

If the number of credits is greater than the collect limit and Collect is pressed the EGM locks up,
the credits are paid as a book pay and the EGM is reset using the reset key.

If Collect is pressed when the value of the credits is less then the hopper collect limit but greater
than the number of coins available in the hopper, all coins in the hopper are dispensed before
the EGM locks up. The hopper must be refilled and the EGM reset before the balance of the
coins is dispensed. If too many or too few coins are dispensed, the EGM locks up.

7-3
Hopper Service Manual

7.2 Medium Capacity Cyclone Hopper


The Medium Capacity Cyclone hopper (MCCH) is a modular disc-based hopper that is
microprocessor driven.

The hopper accepts coins via the coin chute in the hopper cover. A hopper level probe is used
to indicate the holding capacity which can be varied in steps of approximately 100 coins.

The hopper has a payout rate of approximately eight to ten coins per second in stream mode.

The hopper uses a rotating disc to pick up the coins from the hopper bowl and transports them
to the coin exit position, where spring-loaded fingers pay the coins out from the coin exit in an
upward direction. Automatic jam detection and clearing feature minimises the need for attention.

Swapping the interchangeable disc enables the MCCH to dispense differently sized coins or
tokens.

Rotating Disk Sensing Plate

Each disc contains holes in which the coins are held in short stacks. The motor drives the disc
via a gear train. As the disc rotates, the coins at the bottom of each stack make contact with the
ejector fingers and push the spring-loaded fingers back. Further disc rotation causes the coin to
move into the exit slot. At this point, the spring pulls the ejector fingers forward and pushes the
coin through the exit slot.

As they exit, coins interrupt the light beam that is routed across the exit window via a clear
plastic light guide. This causes a coin output signal to be sent to the EGM.

7-5
Hopper Service Manual

7.2.1 Motor Control


The motor is controlled by an H-bridge circuit that enables it to run either forwards or backwards.
Outputs from the microcontroller can set the motor into one of three states as shown in the table
below.

Table 7-1 Medium Capacity Cyclone Hopper Motor Control

Motor Condition Motor +ve Terminal Motor -ve Terminal

Stop/Brake 0V 0V
Forward 24V 0V
Reverse 0V 24V

Motor Start-Up
When the control input signal is activated, the motor is set to run forwards if the light guide is not
blocked. The motor is stopped if the control input signal is deactivated or the light guide
becomes blocked.

Automatic Coin Jam Detection and Clearing


The current drawn by the motor is continuously monitored while the motor is running in order to
detect jams. The readings are disregarded for the first 50ms after the motor has been switched
on to prevent the initial current surge from being interpreted as a jam.

When the motor is running forward and the current has exceeded the jam threshold for at least
50ms, the controller assumes a jam has occurred. The automatic clearing sequence activates:

1. A brake on the motor is applied for 50ms.


2. The motor is run in reverse for 200ms.
3. A brake on the motor is applied for 50ms.

The motor then resumes running forwards, assuming the start-up conditions are still valid.

Motor Protection
A thermal cut-out is placed in series with the motor so as to prevent damage to the hopper in the
event of an overcurrent condition.

7-6
Service Manual Hopper

7.2.2 Coin Counting


The optical counting system includes a light guide, LEDs and photo-transistors mounted at the
coin exit. The devices generate beams of light across the coin path. When a coin exits the
hopper, it breaks one or more of the light beams and changes the state of the photo-transistor
output.

Light Guide Blockage


If the microcontroller detects that the light guide has remained blocked for a preset maximum
time, the motor stops or does not start. The motor does not run again until the blockage is
cleared.

Level Sensing
A round level plate mounted inside the hopper bowl and a metal strip fixed to the outside of the
bowl and the bowl extension provide a single high level sense output. The strip is connected to
0V and the round plate is wired to the main connector. A screw is inserted through the metal
strip and the bowl extension wall. This provides an electrical connection between the plate and
strip if the coins are at the appropriate level.

Several mounting positions are available for screws to enable the high level sensor to be set in
steps.

7.2.3 Electrical Connection and Interface


Connection to the hopper is with a 12-way AMP metrimate connector. The pinout is detailed in
the table below.

Service Manual Bank Note Acceptor

8.1 Overview
The bank note acceptor (BNA) and ancillary items allow for the entry, security, analysis and
accounting of bank notes and tickets. The BNA communicates with the carrier board via the
backplane board.

The full system provides:

 A BNA for entering, sensing and accepting bank notes and tickets. The unit is equipped
with a microcontroller, an operating system, RAM and ROM.
 Optical scanning. The bank note or ticket is optically scanned for both transmissive and
reflective properties at each of four different wavelengths. There is also a magnetic sensor.
 A stacker unit that holds accepted bank notes and tickets in a secure environment. The
stacker is linked to the BNA.
 The BNA cage assembly that houses the BNA and stacker.
 The bank note entry area is highlighted by the animated display of LEDs and a
denomination decal that shows the acceptable bank note denomination(s).
 Ticket in, ticket out (TITO), which is a secure EGM payout solution.

8.2 JCM UBA Bank Note Acceptor (if fitted)


The bank note acceptor accepts a high percentage of valid currency. It has anti-pullback
security features and can be fitted with further security measures.

8.2.1 Physical Description


The JCM UBA BNA measures 29.8cm (11.73") by 22.5cm (8.86") by 10.44cm (4.11"). It weighs

Security
For security reasons, both the stacker access door and the stacker itself can be equipped with
high-security locks.

The status of the EGM belly door is monitored by the machine firmware. If this link is broken,
the EGM locks up and display the error message Door Open – Bank Note Acceptor on
the screen.
If the stacker is removed, the error message Stacker Removed is also displayed and the
alarm sounds through the speakers.

Both of these errors are reported to the online system (if fitted).

Mechanics and Transport


The transport assembly consists of the acceptor and transport. It slides into the BNA frame,
where it is securely latched in place. The stacker slides into position and latches into the frame
just below the transport.

The transport assembly houses the main logic assembly, two drive motors and associated
gears, belts and optointerrupters.

The main logic assembly provides all of the control functions for the acceptor. It may be
configured with either Flash (UBA-12) or EPROM (UBA-13) program memory.

One drive motor powers the drive belts, which transport the bank notes or tickets through the
acceptor and into the stacker. The other drive motor links via a gear train to the stacker
mechanism.

The two upper timing belts are individually tensioned to assure a reliable and straight feed. The
lower timing belt transports bank notes and tickets to the entrance of the stacker. Several levers
and optic sensors monitor the bank note or ticket progress into the stacker.

A connector and fixing are provided for the acceptor, which mounts into the transport assembly.
Two optointerrupters mounted at the rear of the transport monitor the presence of the stacker
and the activity of the bank note pusher.

Acceptor
Interchangeable guide rails in the acceptor allow the BNA to accept currency from a variety of
countries. Acceptable bank note widths are 66mm, 70mm, 75mm and 80mm (2.60", 2.76", 2.95"
and 3.15"). Acceptable lengths are determined in the software.

Two drive rollers in the front and two timing belts in the rear of the lower sensor unit of the
acceptor assure transport of the inserted bank note while several red, infrared and magnetic
sensors scan both faces.

Bank Note and Ticket Entry


When a bank note or ticket is inserted into the BNA, the unit grips it and moves it over the
magnetic head and through the optical system. A bank note can be inserted face up or face
down, either end first. Barcoded tickets must be inserted face up, either end first.

Analogue readings are taken every sixteenth of an inch, converted to their digital equivalents
and stored in RAM as a profile. The readings are matched to the profiles stored in program

8-6
Service Manual Bank Note Acceptor

memory. Three read attempts are performed before a bank note or ticket is classified as
unreadable.

If the bank note or ticket is rejected, it is returned to the player immediately. If it is accepted, the
EGM is notified of the value. If the value is acceptable, the bank note or ticket is sent to the
stacker and the credits are registered. If the value is not acceptable, the bank note or ticket is
rejected and returned to the player.

Stacker
The stacker includes drive belts and rollers to transport the bank note or ticket into the stacking
position. The second motor in the transport assembly drives them through a gear train.

When the bank note or ticket has moved into position, the pusher is activated via another gear
train and the bank note or ticket is stacked. The stacker has a capacity of approximately 500
bank notes and tickets.

Two plastic levers mounted to the frame connect the stacker and the pusher plate. These levers
mesh with two optointerrupters at the rear of the transport, allowing the microprocessor to detect
the stacker's presence and monitor the pusher's activity.

TITO (Ticket In, Ticket Out)


Ticket in, Ticket out (TITO) is a cost effective and secure EGM payout solution. TITO is the
cashless payout system that prints a player’s total winnings with a secure barcode on a voucher
(if a printer is fitted). The voucher can then be used for crediting an EGM. The JCM bill
acceptor is TITO capable. Barcode voucher functionality is controlled by DIP switch settings.

NOTE: DIP switch settings may vary depending on software changes related to
individual jurisdictions.

8-8
Service Manual Bank Note Acceptor

Clearing Bank Note Acceptor Jams


If a jam occurs, the unit is usually able to clear itself within a short period as an automatic
process comes into effect. If the jam persists, a fault message is initiated and an EGM lockup
occurs.

CAUTION:
The bank acceptor is controlled by complex electronics. Unqualified personnel
must not interfere with the unit
Ensure the power is turned off before any maintenance procedures are carried out
on the bill acceptor or drop box.

The scanning and transport channel of the bill acceptor passes items directly to the stacker.

To clear an item lodged within the scanning channel:

1. Remove the transport as previously described.


2. Open the transport and inspect the bank note path.
3. Remove any obstructions found.
4. Reinstall the transport assembly as previously described.

To clear a JCM UBA BNA jam:

1. Open the door(s) as required and switch off the EGM.


2. Press down and hold the lower latch bar located at the front of the transport.
3. Slide the assembly towards you and out of the frame.
4. Open the acceptor and remove the jammed bank note from the unit.
5. Replace the acceptor. Ensure that all leads are correctly connected.
6. Switch on the EGM and close the door(s).

Calibration
Recalibrate the acceptor sensors annually and following any cleaning or repair operations,
unless operating conditions dictate increased frequency. Special JCM test paper is required.

Calibration may be done at the EGM if a JCM test harness is available. Remove the transport
assembly from the EGM, connect the harness to the plugs at the back of the frame and at the
back of the transport assembly and follow the procedure below. To calibrate the transport
assembly at the workbench, a JCM model PS15-006 is required to supply power to the BNA
transport.

To calibrate the BNA:

1. Remove the transport assembly (refer to the Maintenance section).


2. Set DIP switches 1, 2, 3 and 4 to the off (up) position and the other DIP switches to the on

Bank Note Acceptor Service Manual

The MEI Cashflow BNA consists of an optical scanning unit linked to a stacker that stores a
range of bank notes and tickets. The MEI BNA's acceptance rate is 98% or greater and it
attempts to read all bank notes. A USB port on the front of the unit provides an interface for
support tools. The BNA takes approximately three seconds to stack a bank note or ticket with a
maximum of one in transition at a time.

The following table details the operating conditions for the MEI Cashflow BNA.

Table 8-2 MEI Cashflow BNA Operating Conditions

Operating Conditions

Voltage Range 12V to 28V


Power Consumption Standby - 10W
During Acceptance - 30W
While stacking - 70W
Operating Environment 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F), 5 - 95% humidity
Storage Environment -30°C to 70°C (-22°F to 158°F), 5 - 95% humidity

Security
The stacker may be fitted with one or two security locks. Spacer washers may be required for
some lock types.

Mechanics and Transport


The BNA assembly consists of the acceptor module, interface card, chassis and bank note
stacker. The chassis provides mounting for the acceptor module, interface card, configuration-
specific cable and stacker. The acceptor module slides into the top of the chassis and securely
latches in place. The connectors at the back of the acceptor module establish electrical
connection to the corresponding contacts on the interface card. The stacker slides into position
and latches into the chassis beneath the acceptor module.

Acceptor
A combination of four standard wheels, four double-drive wheels and eight pressure rollers,
coupled with a continuous gear-drive system, provides automatic centring, alignment and
transport of the inserted item without the need for timing belts.

The two double-drive rollers near the front of the acceptor assure the inserted item is drawn in
and aligned correctly for identification and validation. Four gear-driven rollers assure a smooth
transition through the acceptor to the bank note stacker. Along the way, the item is illuminated
by a six-wavelength light bar and scanned by ten lensed receivers.

8-12
Service Manual Bank Note Acceptor

Bank Note and Ticket Entry


A bank note can be inserted face up or face down, either end first. Barcoded tickets must be
inserted face up, either end first. The unit grips the bank note or ticket, aligns it and moves it
through the optical system.

Analogue readings are taken along the entire length of the item, converted to their digital
equivalents and stored in random access memory (RAM) as a profile of the item. The stored
readings are matched against the profiles stored in program memory. If a bank note of a specific
denomination is identified, the digital signal processor attempts to validate the bank note as
genuine. Tickets are read only and are usually validated by the head system. If the bank note or
ticket is valid, the EGM is notified of the value of the bank note or ticket.

If a bank note or ticket is not recognised, it is returned to the player immediately. It is given three
read attempts before it is classified as unreadable. If the value of the bank note or ticket is
acceptable, it is sent to the stacker. If the value of the item is not acceptable, it is returned.
Credits are issued only after the bank note or ticket exits the bank note acceptor and reaches
the stacker.

Stacker
The stacker includes eight gear-driven rollers and eight pressure rollers to stack bank notes and
tickets. The motor in the acceptor module drives the rollers through a gear train. When a bank
note or ticket moves into position, the pusher activates via another gear train and the bank note
or ticket is stacked. The stacker can hold approximately 500 bank notes or tickets.

Interface Connector
MEI Cashflow BNAs have a cable that terminates with a 12-pin connector.

LCD Screens Service Manual

10.5.2 Operation
The touch screen uses analogue capacitive touch technology. At the core of this technology is
an all-glass sensor with a transparent, thin-film conductive coating fused to its surface. Glass
coating is applied over the conductive coating, completely protecting and sealing the entire
sensor. Along the edges is a narrow printed copper electrode pattern that uniformly distributes a
low voltage AC field over the conductive layer. The electrode is taped over on the completed
touch screen to protect it.

When a finger touches the screen surface, it draws a minute amount of current to the point of
contact. Voltage distortion at each corner is related to the distance to the finger and this
distortion is used to locate the touch point.

Figure 10-1 All-Glass Capacitive Sensor

LCD
_00
1

Legend
1 Anti-reflective Etched or Polished 3 Glass Coating
Surface
2 Conductive Coating

The touch sensor has a resolution of 1024 x 1024 touch points. The controller averages the
entire area of finger contact to a single point, giving users pixel-by-pixel control when touching
the screen. The touch screen records a touch within 15ms of finger contact. This performance
gives users virtually instant response.

The touch screen is robust, allowing it to perform in contaminated environments. Contaminants


such as grease, water and dirt do not interfere with the capacitive screen’s speed, accuracy or
resolution. In addition, the controller does not respond to stationary objects on the screen (e.g.
food particles).

The touch screen all-glass overcoat allows it to be resistant to scratches and not show wear
over time. The controller enables it to eliminate noise from EMI, drifting caused by temperature
shifts and humidity and damage from static discharges. However, if the protective overcoat is
damaged to such an extent that the underlying conductive coat is disturbed, severe inaccuracies
in determining finger position can occur.

10.5.3 Touch Screen Calibration


Refer to the Machine Modes chapter for touch screen calibration.

10.5.4 Handling the Touch Screen


The touch screen must be handled with care. The following precautions must be taken:

The touch screen must be handled with care. The following precautions must be taken:

1. The touch screen has black tape protecting the electrodes at the edge of the screen.
This tape must not be removed as it excludes light and dust.
2. When unpacking a screen, always lift directly out of the carton and place base-down on a
flat bench.
3. Check the EGM door(s) to ensure that it does not apply pressure to the taped area.
Excessive pressure on the taped area may result in edge breakages or vibration wear
damage to the electrode pattern.
4. Never remove the touch screen by gripping and pulling the flat cable. This may break
the cable.
5. Handle the screen with gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints or smudges. The
transparency of the touch screen is critical.
6. Once removed from the original package, do not stack screens or they may be
scratched.
7. Do not place heavy objects on the touch screen.
8. Prevent assembly tools from coming into contact with the touch screen. Whenever
possible, use plastic tools.
9. Blow any contaminants from the surface with a filtered de-ionized air source before
cleaning with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure that there
are no contaminants in the cloth.
10. Prevent liquids from contacting the edges of the touch screen.

CAUTION:
When removing the touch screen for servicing, do not pry the touch screen off the
LCD panel. Breakage may result in injury.

NOTE:
Re-calibrate the touch screen after exchanging it.

10.6 Maintenance
To maintain the screens:

1. Turn the EGM off.


2. Remove any dust or dirt from external surfaces.
3. Clean the screen with a soft cloth and mild cleaning agent.
4. Ensure the screen fits correctly when the doors are closed.

The carrier board is supplied from the 24V DC supply rail. All internal voltage rails are derived
from this source. A 12V supply rail is used only for the COM Express module and graphics card.
Mains voltage is detected by a hardware power fail signal generated by the mains power supply.
This signal provides an early warning when the EGM power is down. A 5V stand-by rail supplies
power to the COM Express circuitry when in wake on LAN (WOL) mode. The 24V and 12V rails
are without supply in this mode. Two independent batteries provide a power source for volatile
data backup and for security monitoring.

11.2.4 Smart Card


The carrier board uses an ID-000 25mm (0.98") × 15mm (0.59") ISO 7816 smart card. The
smart card socket is mounted on the front edge of the carrier board so the smart card can be
replaced without removing the carrier board from the logic cage.

NOTE:
The smart card may only be installed or replaced while the EGM is powered down
or in standby mode.

11.2.5 Video Graphics


The graphics and memory controller hub (GMCH) chip in the COM Express module is an
internal graphic core that has the capability to support external graphic accelerators. The chip
provides one dedicated analogue output and two digital display ports. Serial digital video out
(SDVO) ports are multiplexed with the PCI Express graphics interface. The SDVO ports are not
available if an external graphic device/card is in use.

The carrier board implements PCI Express x 16. It provides an extension for an ADD2 card or
an external graphics card. A PCIe x 16 connector with retention clip is required on the carrier
board for securing a graphic card.

LCD screens support a standard resolution for a 22" screen of 1680 x 1050. Higher resolution,
such as 1920 x 1080 full HD) is supported with "reduced blanking". Display devices may not
support all resolutions available from the graphics card.

RAM Clearing
The SPC2.5 board uses a battery-backed SRAM device to hold meters and events received
from the EGM.

Memory initialization is required when:

 The SPC2.5 is used first time.


 New firmware is installed.

The firmware has an internal mechanism that detects such events and indicates that RAM
clearing is required by flashing main yellow LED four times.

To manually clear the non-volatile RAM:

1. Open the door(s) as required and turn off the EGM.


2. Insert a shorting link on the CLR jumper (J8) on the SPC2.5 board.
3. Power up the board to initialise the RAM (indicated by quick flashing of the LED).
4. Remove the link from the SPC2.5 board. Normal operation resumes.
