Conversion Kit System - 21
SWITCH TEST
Switch tests allow you to manually check each switch used in the game. Because the Touchscreen uses a
digital controller to sense player input, it has a separate test (refer to Calibrate steps).
OPEN
Indicates a circuit with no continuity. This is a Normally Open switch condition.
CLOSED
Indicates a circuit with continuity. This is a Normally Closed switch condition.
RETURN
Reverts to the Sub Menu screen. Touch RETURN again to go to the Main Menu.
TYPICAL SWITCH TEST MENU SCREEN
The Touchmaster
®
game electronics expect all switches to be Normally Open except when activated.
Each line item on the screen represents an input signal from the currency acceptors or the push button
switches. The screen above is correct for a Touchmaster
®
with the Calibration button depressed and held.
The game detects and displays the status of each switch independently, permitting switches to be
checked for interaction or incorrect programming (electronic currency acceptors).
In addition to the on-screen OPEN or CLOSED indication, the Touchmaster
®
audio circuits generate a
clunk noise each time a switch is closed. Use this to locate shorted or intermittent connections when you
are working from the back or sides of the cabinet and cannot see the monitor screen.
Example: Suppose a different coin mechanism must be installed to accept another type of coin than was
previously used. Turn off the game power and open the Cash Door. Remove the existing mechanism and
replace it with the alternate unit. After the new mechanism has been mounted and connected to the game
electronics, the game must be matched to the new currency values. Power up the game and verify the
Touchscreen operation (minor calibration may be required after any type of product service).
Check switch operation for the game Currency Acceptors in the following manner: Press the SETUP
pushbutton to display the Menu System. Choose DIAGNOSTICS to get to the Sub Menu, then choose
SWITCH TEST to go to the switch menu screen (a typical game SWITCH screen is illustrated; your
Touchmaster
®
may have a different compliment of Acceptors).
Press and hold the CAL. push button. The Touchmaster
®
emits CLUNKing sounds and indicate this switch
is CLOSED on the screen. Release the button to stop the sound and revert to an OPEN state. Repeat
these steps for other switches in the game. When finished, choose RETURN and EXIT to quit.
NOTICE:
Continuous clunk noises can indicate wiring defects, jammed switch, bad IC,
etc.
