GAME DIAGNOSTICS
Thè Data East Pinball System provldes tests for sounds, digitai displays, lamps, swltches, and solenolds. Each
feature may be tested manually or automatically using thè STEP and FORWARD/REVERSE push-button swltches
Inside thè coin door and thè Game Start push-button switch on thè front of thè cabinet. Thè automatlc tests may
be used for a qulck verlflcation of automatlc test functions and thè manual tests, for troubleshooting.
Durlng game play, activatlon of swltches and operatlon of colls wlth associated swltches are monltored. If a switch
Is not made for 50 games it is considered bad. When operation of a coil should dose or open a switch and does
not, thè coil Is considered bad. In Game over attract mode, bad swltches and colls (If any) are reported (See Tech
Alert Descrlption below). Note that reporting of an unused switch does not constitute a problem and that a bad
coll could mean that thè associated switch requires adjustment.
Wlring to switches, solenolds and controlled lamps uses color-
coded wires that baslcally follows a resistor
color-code scheme for thè eight rows and eight columns. During thè switch tests and during thè discrete lamp
test, identification of thè color of thè row and column wires are indicated in thè Player 3 & 4 Displays. For example,
maklng thè right coln switch during thè Switch Test results in thè switch functional name (RIGHT COIN) shown In
thè Player 1 and 2 Displays, thè row (WHT-YEL) and column (GRN-BRN) wire color codes shown In thè Player 3
display, and thè switch number shown In thè Player 4 display.
