Basic Operation
Player operation modes vary with the type of components installed and the setting of option switches. For example, a player might be able to register credits by entering either coins or currency, be able to accept win payouts in cash, or through house personnel with a hand procedure (book pay). Also, credits may be accumulated until the end of play or be paid out with each win. A player can obtain change of currency simply be entering coins or bills to register credits and then requesting a payout of the accumulated credit. The machine operates in one of two modes: play mode and service mode. The machine operates in play mode when the machine is switched on and the cabinet door is closed and locked. The machine operates in service mode when the door is open. See Machine Modes. In play mode, the machine operates with full security features. For example, it will lock up if the cabinet door is opened. All electromechanical audit meters and electronic audit meters function in play mode. In service mode, games cannot be played but the machine can operate the robot test, including the combination test, and the hopper test.
1.2.1

Machine Operation in Play Mode

In play mode, the machine: is ready for player operation, performs all audit functions which continuously monitor all play activities, continuously runs a self-test.

General Description
Basic Coin Operation Basic coin operation in play mode is shown in Figure 1.6. When the player inserts a coin, the coin comparator checks if it is a valid coin. If the coin is invalid, it is rejected to the coin tray. Otherwise, the coin passes the coin-in photo-optic module which checks the coin travel time and direction, and counts the coin. The machine registers a coin credit and displays the credit on the screen. Normally the coin goes to the hopper. However, if the hopper is full, a coin diverter sends the coin to the cash box. The cash box photo-optic module in the coin path to the cash box counts the number of coins sent to the cash box.

General Description
Basic Bill Operation Operation commences when a bill of a suitable denomination is inserted in the bill acceptor. The bill is inserted one-half inch, either end first and face up. The unit initiates operation and, as the note is moved a further one-quarter inch forward, the unit automatically moves the currency over the magnetic head and optical system. Evaluation is performed and acceptance or rejection results. Upon acceptance, credits are issued only after the currency has exited the acceptor and been placed in the security stacker. A rejected bill is returned to the player. A bill should be read three times before being classed as unreadable. For additional details see Care and Maintenance. Hand payouts, for both coin and currency plays, are normally required by licensing authorities to be formally recorded and signed for by the player and the house management. The hand payout book also enables proper records to be kept for accounting and taxation purposes. The book should contain transactions which relate to cancel credit payouts and hopper refills. Audit Functions The machine is fitted with electromechanical meters and electronic meters that provide a comprehensive range of security features which include continuous monitoring. The electromechanical meters, or hard meters, located at the bottom of the top box, provide a permanent cumulative record of credits. The electronic meters record an extensive range of information enabling player, operational, and management queries to be answered. The audit data can be read whenever required and details are displayed on the video screen by use of the audit key. Refer to Day-to-Day Operations for details of performance and audit calculations. Self Test During the continuous self-test, an internal computer process checks the electronic audit meter data held in memory. The outcome of the process can result in further operations and message displays. See Machine Modes and Machine Self Monitoring for further details.
1.2.2
Machine Operation in Service Mode

The machine is in service mode when the cabinet door is open. In service mode, game play is not possible and the electro-mechanical audit meters and electronic audit meters do not operate. In service mode, attention may be given to the various units, and a range of audit and test operations can performed, including the comprehensive robot test process.

Functional Description
All processing in the 540 Video machine is executed on the main board which houses the microprocessor and the EPROMs which contain all the software for game generation, and video shapes and colour. All electronic data and control signals, with the exception of the video data from the main board to the video monitor, are passed via the interface board. Power is also distributed via the interface board, with the exception of the 110 V AC to the video monitor, and the high voltage, high frequency supply to the fluorescent lamps. The function of the 540 Video machine can be divided into two general functions, coin handling and game generation. These two functions are described in the following two subsections.

General Description
1.3.1
Coin Handling
When a coin is inserted into the machine, it must pass through the coin handling system to either the coin tray, the cash box or the hopper (refer to Figure 1.6). The coin handling system consists of a coin chute assembly with the following components mounted on it:

coin comparator coin-in photo-optic module coin diverter cash box photo-optic module
The inserted coin first passes through a coin comparator which determines if the coin is a valid coin by comparing it with a sample coin. If the coin is not valid, it is rejected to the coin tray via the coin reject chute of the coin chute assembly. If the coin is accepted, a valid coin signal is sent by the coin comparator to the coin-in photo-optic module, and the coin travels past this module. The photooptic module contains two photo-optic detectors, A and B, which detect the coin as it passes. If the coin transit time and direction is acceptable, the module sends the following signals to the main board, via the interface board:

SIMVAL to indicate a valid coin Optic A to indicate that detector A has detected the coin Optic B to indicate that detector B has detected the coin
The coin then passes to a diverter which directs the coin either to the hopper or the cash box. The diverter is moved by the diverter solenoid which is controlled by a signal that originates at the hopper. The hopper is fitted with a sense probe which is shorted to earth when the hopper is full. Normally the diverter solenoid is energised and the coin is passed to the hopper. If the hopper probe indicates that the hopper is full, the diverter solenoid is de-energised and the coin is diverted to the cash box. If the coin is diverted to the cash box, it passes the cash box photo-optic module which sends a count signal to the main board via the interface board. If the player presses the COLLECT play button, the hopper is activated by the main board to pay out the number of credits registered. The hopper dispenses the payout coins to the coin tray. As coins are dispensed they are detected by a photooptic detector and the count signal is sent to the main board.
AM-1201322-02
1-13
General Description
1.3.2
Game Generation
Before a coin is inserted, the main board microprocessor displays video on the monitor to attract the player. When the main board microprocessor receives the Simval, Optic A and Optic B signals from the coin-in photo-optic module, it initiates a game sequence. During the game sequence the microprocessor runs the game software which may initiate any of the following:

game video is displayed on the monitor, one or more of the play buttons are lit, the speaker sounds, the top box animation lamps indicate the game option or win.
As coins are counted, the microprocessor on the main board increments both the electro-mechanical meters and the electronic meters as required.
1.3.3
Fault Detection
By continuously monitoring signals received from the other components in the machine, the main board microprocessor is able to detect faults. If faults are detected in the machine, it locks up, displays the relevant fault message and sounds an alarm. The following types of faults are detected:

coin handling faults, door open faults, metering faults.

3.1 Modes of Operation

The Aristocrat 540 Video Machine operates in two principal modes, play mode and service mode, and a range of functions can occur within each mode. The play mode functions provide for game play, player service, audit investigations, and the notification of operating conditions. During service mode the focus is on machine maintenance and refill operations. Games cannot be played and the machine is able to operate the robot test, including the combination and the hopper test.
3.2 Play Mode (Door Closed)

The Aristocrat gaming machine functions in play mode when the cabinet door is closed and locked. In play mode, the machine meets the following requirements: player operation and player service, self-monitoring tests and security notifications, audit meter services, which continuously monitor all play activities and can display details of operations on request.
3.2.1 Player Operation

When the machine is switched on and the cabinet door is closed and locked, the machine enters play mode and the screen displays an INSERT COIN message. The fluorescent tubes and the play buttons light up, and the machine automatically proceeds with a self-test procedure. Players use the programmed games and attempt to accumulate credits and win prizes after entering coins or bills. The games are played by pressing the control buttons, or pulling the handle, and by responding to the directions provided by the game. Credits are accumulated and then paid out by coin or redeemable ticket, on request or through a hand pay procedure.
AM-1201322-02
3-3
Machine Modes
Simulated Spinning Reel Games When a player inserts a coin or bill into the machine, the appropriate credits are registered and add to the total displayed at the top left corner of the screen. All play buttons that are within the accumulated credit level now begin to flash. The player chooses one, some or all of the highlighted buttons to indicate the bet and any game options. The game is then commenced by pressing a button or pulling the handle. At this time, the total number of credits to be played in the game is displayed at the top right corner of the screen. A game being played will show various video displays including a simulation of spinning reels with game symbols. When the spinning reels come to rest, the position of the symbols may result is a winning combination, as shown on the score card usually on the top box. A winning message flashes on the screen and the machine plays the win tune. The screen displays the amount of the win together with a new credit total that includes the win amount. When the machine is able to commence the next game, the play buttons flash and the screen displays a MAKE A BET message, the player makes choices, and game play continues. Game Features A player can automatically collect accumulated credits up to a pre-set maximum by pressing the COLLECT button. When the button is pressed, the machine prevents functions such as game play and entry of coins or bills until the hopper has dispensed coins or a redeemable tickets has been output into the chip tray. The hopper photo-optic detector counts the coins being dispensed. The player is informed of the counts on the screen as the PAY number is incremented and the CREDIT number is decremented to zero. However, should the player press the COLLECT button and the players credit is more than the limit for automatic hopper pay, or the hopper has insufficient coins to make the automatic pay, the machine locks up, displays the message CALL ATTENDANT - CANCEL CREDIT OF NNNNNNNN, and emits chimes. House personnel then carry out a manual or book pay process for the total amount of the credits. The details are recorded in the House payout book and the machine is restarted by using the J key. The J key restart cancels the players total credits, and the amount accumulates in the CANCELLED CREDIT electromechanical meter and electronic meters. See Day to Day Operations - Cancelling Credit.

Types of Games Aristocrat 540 Video machines usually provide one of the three game types: multiplier, multiline, and multiline-multiplier. Some games also have a double-up gamble feature among other variations.
0XOWLSOLHU A multiplier game allows the player to invest more than one credit per game on a single winning line. Each additional credit invested increases the value of the prize. For example, five credits invested multiplies the value of the prizes by five in the one game.
Figure 3.1 Example of Multiplier Game
0XOWLOLQH A multiline game allows the player to specify more than one line on which to bet for a winning combination.
Figure 3.2 Example of Multiline Game
0XOWLOLQHPXOWLSOLHU A multiline-multiplier game allows the player to specify more than one line on which to bet for a winning combination and also allows more than a one credit bet on each of the lines. %X\D3D\ The Buy-a-Pay gamble feature is a game variation whereby players are provided with higher prize scales for increases in credits wagered. 'RXEOHXS *DPEOH A double-up gamble feature offers the player the chance to double a win. Each time a winning combination occurs, the screen displays the credits won followed by the double-up feature. The player may choose to take the credits won or press the GAMBLE button. The double-up feature allows the player to bet on a draw for a red or black card. If the player wins the draw, the original win doubles. If the player loses, the win is cancelled.
*DPH 9DULDWLRQV The range of game types and game variations continues to expand. Aristocrat Leisure Industries has a wide variety in operation throughout the world and is dedicated to developing game products for greater player satisfaction, using the most advanced technologies.

3.2.2 Machine Self-Monitoring

Self-test When the machine is switched on there is an automatic self test initiated which continues as long as the machine is in play mode. During self-test, the machine checks the electronic audit meter data held in memory. The memory holds three copies of the electronic audit meter data in areas titled METER SET 1, METER SET 2 and METER SET 3. If the data in one meter set does not match the contents in the other two sets, the data of any two identical sets overwrites the single set. If all three meter sets do not match, the screen displays the message METERING ERROR. This error message indicates a serious machine malfunction and a repair call to the local service organisation is necessary. To clear this error: 1. Display the audit meter screen: a. b. Insert the audit key (A) in the audit key switch. Turn the key 90 clockwise and leave it turned on. This action calls up the first audit meter screen.
2.
Step through the three sets of meters by repeatedly pressing the COLLECT button. Record all meters and give this record to club management. Open the cabinet door. Turn the J key on.

Simultaneously press the three leftmost buttons on the main board tray panel, ROB/HOP RESET (B), AUX1 (C) and MEM RESET (D). This will cause all meters to be reset to zero. Close the door.
To return the machine to play mode, turn the J key and the audit key anticlockwise to their original positions. An internal battery backs up the memory so that data is always retained even when there is a power interruption or failure. The internal memory for the audit meters has an alternate battery power source so that data is always retained even after power interruption or failure. Security in Play Mode When the machine is in play mode, a variety of security features are in effect: Coin Comparator When a player inserts a coin, the comparator carries out a scan and compares the image to a standard coin held in the unit. The comparator rejects any invalid coins and diverts them to the coin tray. Coin-in Photo-optic Module After a coin passes the coin comparator, it must travel to the coin-in photo-optic module in less than 350 milliseconds otherwise the machine does not register a coin credit. If this photo-optic module detects a coin moving in reverse to its normal path of travel, the screen displays a YO-YO-YO-YO message and the COIN IN STRINGING electronic audit meter increments by one. If the coin is valid, the machine displays the appropriate credits on the screen, and increments the COINS IN electronic audit meter and the CREDITS BET audit meters. Depending on the current hopper coin level, the valid coin goes to either the cash box or the hopper. A coin that goes to the cash box passes the cash box photo-optic module which increments the COINS IN electromechanical audit meters and the COIN DROP and GROSS DROP electronic audit meters. After the first game has been played, and if the hopper is not full, all subsequent coins go to the hopper until the coins in the hopper reach the level detector probe. At this stage, coins divert to the cash box. Hopper Should a player press the COLLECT button and the hopper is found to be empty, the machine locks up and the screen displays an OUT OF COINS message. Hopper Photo-optic Detector During payout, the hopper disc rotates and deposits 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. A hopper payout increments the CREDITS PAID OUT audit meter. The player is informed

on the screen as the PAY number is incremented and the CREDIT number is decremented. Hand payouts increment either the CANCELLED CREDITS meter or the JACKPOT COINS meter. Both increment the total of the HAND PAYS electromechanical meter. Door Switch Should the cabinet door be opened, the machine sounds an alarm, the screen displays the DOOR OPEN message, and the MAIN DOOR ACCESS electronic audit meter increments. Bill Acceptor The Bill Acceptor consists of an optical scanning unit and bill stacker which are contained in a high-security housing. The unit achieves a high percentage of acceptances, and a second-level scanning option can be initiated for highdenomination bills. During operation, the acceptor registers acceptances or rejections, and confirms the return or the stacking of bills. Bills accepted increment the BILLS IN electromechanical audit meter and the GROSS DROP audit meter. A lock up is initiated when collection of credits is occurring, when accumulated credits exceed a limit set during configuration set up, and when malfunction conditions are detected. See Controls and Indicators in this section. Light Tower Two-tier light towers are units able to provide an additional level of security, customer service, and house control. The attention and alert conditions monitored can vary with model specifications and jurisdictions. Typical alert conditions include cabinet door open, SERVICE (CHANGE) button pressed, jackpot condition, and bill acceptor stacker full. See Machine Modes and also Machine Conditions.

Electromechanical Meters The electromechanical meters are a set of counters that record the basic audit data and are labelled CREDITS BET, CREDITS WON, COIN DROP, HAND PAYS, BILLS IN, and CREDIT COLLECT (See Installation for more details). They are non-resettable and are cumulative for the life of the machine. On delivery of a machine, these meters do not read zero because of factory tests. Prior to game play, after all installation checks and tests have been completed, the House should record the numbers displayed as the starting point for audit and control. Note
Meter terminology, purpose and accumulation control can vary between locations, jurisdictions and machine models. Some assignments are shown below.

3.3.3 Bill Acceptor (Model Type CBV IVO)

The bill acceptor controls consist of DIP switches and the program data card. Adjustments can be made to currency acceptance performance by using the video level adjustment procedure, and to the currency channel position using the bezel template. Bill Acceptor Video Level Adjustment The bill acceptor aims to achieve a high acceptance level of greater than 95% performance (in up to 3 read attempts). However, over time, performance can continue to deteriorate towards 70%, requiring a procedure to adjust the internal video level and re-establish the original performance level. This adjustment procedure requires a sheet of white, copy-machine paper to be cut to the approximate size of any bill and the following steps carried out (see additional details in Bill Acceptor later in this publication):

Disconnect the power to the bill acceptor, Depress and hold the service switch located near the DIP switches, Power up the acceptor keeping the service switch depressed, Insert the white paper cut-out into the currency channel, The acceptor will slowly step the paper in and out of the channel.
The video level adjustment process is complete when the paper is clear of the channel. Bezel Template The bill acceptor has been thoroughly tested before delivery and is proper working order. However it may become necessary at some time to reset the mounting position and currency channel position through the use of the bezel template. The operations are outlined in the section detailing the Bill Acceptor in this publication.
3.3.4 Setting Clock and Alarm

The alarm, time and date can be set in the following sequence of fields: Alarm : hour, minute, second. Time : hour, minute, second. Date : day, month, year. If the alarm is not required, set it to a time when the machine will not be in use, for example, 3:00 am. To set the alarm, time and date: 1. 2. Insert the audit key into the audit key switch and turn the key 90 clockwise. The screen displays the first electronic audit meter screen. Open the cabinet door.

Jackpot Key and Audit Key Switches

The Jackpot key and Audit key switches are mounted on a common plate, which is then mounted into the cabinet as one assembly. They are used to access and reset software.
5.1.4
Cabinet Door Switch, Photo-optic Detector, Emitter

The door switch and photo-optic detector and emitter both detect whether the door is closed or open. A push type switch and the emitter of the photo-optic detector are positioned inside the cabinet. The sensor of the photo-optic detector is located on the door latching mechanism. When the door is in the closed position, the pushbutton switch is depressed and the detector is positioned over the emitter. If either one of these states is not detected by the main board the machine will lock up and the credit meter displays the message DOOR SWITCH FAULT. The door signals are monitored by the main board through the interface board. When the door is closed, locked, and the power is on, the machine is in play mode. When the door is opened, the machine is in service mode and cannot be played.
5.1.5
Mid-trim
The mid-trim is made of welded steel and is mounted on the cabinet door secured by two screws. The coin entry and the push buttons are mounted on the mid-trim, and the push buttons have lamps within them. The push buttons allow the player to control the operation of the game. Valid options are indicated by lamps being illuminated. The push buttons are also used to operate the machine during the robot test.
5.1.6
Cabinet Door Three-point Latch

The cabinet door is fitted with a three-point latch on the right hand side of the door for secure locking of the door when the machine is in play mode. This latch is operated by lifting and lowering the latch pin on the right hand side of the door, and is secured by a key lock.

Handle
General Description
Game play can be initiated by the friction handle when fitted. The friction handle assembly has been designed to give the player the feel he has some control over the operation of the mechanics of the game. A driving ring and ramp assembly gives the impression that a mechanical machine is being played. The handle mechanism is locked when there is no credit. Once a coin has been inserted, the solenoid is energized long enough to release the locking device after which the handle can be pulled.

Figure 5-10 Friction Handle Assembly
In reality, two micro switches must be actuated before a game can be initiated (refer to Figure 5-10 ). Switch (1) must be closed and switch (2) open when the handle is in the rest position. When pulled, (1) opens and (2) closes just before the end of the pull. With no credit, the handle can move about 20 degrees before engaging the free play lock. Switch must go on and off during this short arc.
AM-1201322-02
5-17
It is important that all four mounting screws are fitted tightly through holes (G). The handle damper and roller stopper cushion the pull, however the screws take the full strain. Special knurled screws are available to keep the unit together. The screws are attached before the assembly is taken out of the cabinet and the handle removed .
5.8.2
Friction Handle Assembly Operation

The pivot assembly (D) is held against latch (A) by the spring (C) as shown in Figure 5.10. When the processor energizes solenoid (B), latch (A) is pulled down and spring (C) pulls the pivot to the left. The stud in the pivot lifts the free play lock pawl (E) clear, and the handle can be pulled. When pulled, the nylon roller (M) on the main operating arm assembly (R) clears the switch (1) actuator causing switch (1) to open. Driving pawl (N) pushes driven ramp (Q) , and clicker pawl (F) produces a mechanical rattle. Towards the end of the handle pull, roller (M) resets pivot (D) and latch (A) comes up and locks the pivot. The free play lock falls, due to gravity, and prevents the handle from being pulled until the solenoid is energized again. Switch (2) is actuated by the main operating arm assembly. The processor senses the change of state of the switch and initiates a game. The driven ramp mates with the fixed ramp producing a loud noise. When the handle is returned, pulled back by the main operating arm return spring (I), switch (2) is open again and switch (1) closed. This state signals the processor that the handle is back in the rest position. The earth spring (J) prevents static building up in the main operating arm assembly. Roller stopper (O) is fitted on a spring-loaded damper assembly (L) to absorb excessive pressure exerted by some players on the forward and return strokes of the handle.
5.8.3
Handle Removal and Replacement

To remove the friction handle assembly it is necessary to have two knurled screws and follow the procedure below (see Figure 5-10): 1. 2. 3. 4. Fit the knurled screws into the holes to hold the assembly together when removed from the cabinet. Disconnect switches and solenoid plugs and sockets. Unhook the earthing and main return springs (J) and (I). Press latch (A) to clear free play lock (E), unhook the spring on clicker pawl (F) and fit a rubber band around the above to keep those parts clear of the ratchet. Remove the nut (K) and pull out the handle assembly.

AM-1201322-02
6. 7.
Remove the four mounting screws (in holes (G)) and withdraw the assembly from the cabinet. To remove the driving ring and ramp assembly, remove the 3 servicing cirlclips.
Replacement is the reverse of the removal procedure. Ensure the driving pawl (N) is kept clear of ramp (Q), and do not damage the actuator of micro switch (1). The steps are: 1. To reinstall the driving ring and ramp assembly, attach the three servicing circlips. 2. Insert the assembly into the cabinet and replace the four mounting screws (in holes (G)). 3. Position the handle assembly in the cabinet and attach nut (K). 4. Attach the spring on the clinker pawl (F). 5. Attach earthing and main return springs (J) and (I). 6. Connect switches and solenoid plugs and sockets. 7. Remove the two knurled screws from the holes.

AM-1201322-02
Video Monitor
Sync Interface The sync interface circuit consists of two comparators which receive the vertical sync and horizontal sync signals from the machine main board to synchronise the operation of the vertical circuit and the horizontal circuit. Video Circuit The video circuit consists of:

three video interface circuits three video amplifier circuits three beam current feedback circuits three beam current buffer circuits auto bias circuit auto bright circuit blanking circuit.
The video signal from the machine main board is received by the video interface circuits. The outputs of these circuits are drive currents to the video amplifiers proportional to the video inputs, 0 mA representing black and 4.5 mA representing colour saturation. The video amplifiers are 8 MHz bandwidth push-pull type amplifiers which output 60 V peak-to-peak high impedance beam current. The beam current is fed to each CRT gun by the beam current feedback circuits. During display initiation, and at the end of each display cycle, the beam current feedback circuits are sampled by the auto bias circuit. The sample currents are buffered by the beam current buffer circuits which convert the beam current from a high impedance low current signal to a low impedance voltage. The auto bias circuit adjusts each of the video amplifier bias voltages so that the beam current of the three CRT guns is set (programmed). This ensures correct colour balance. The video circuit includes an auto bright circuit. The auto bright circuit monitors the bias change applied to the video amplifiers. Where a common bias change is detected, the auto bright circuit adjusts screen voltage to hold the average bias voltage constant. This compensates for CRT ageing. The video circuit also controls CRT blanking. Blanking during flyback is controlled by:

the vertical blanking pulse from the vertical circuit and the auto bias circuit the flyback pulse from the horizontal circuit.
During blank time, the gain of the video interface circuit is set to zero. The control M GAIN located on the remote control PCB can be used to manually set the master gain of the video circuit.
AM-1201322-02
6-7
Video Monitor
Vertical Circuit The vertical circuit consists of:

vertical control circuit vertical output circuit vertical auto bias circuit.
The vertical control circuit receives the vertical sync pulse from the sync circuit and initiates the vertical oscillator. The output from the vertical oscillator is converted to a linear vertical ramp current by a ramp generator. The output from the vertical control circuit drives the vertical output circuit. The vertical output circuit consists of a power driver which drives the vertical deflection yoke of the CRT. The vertical output circuit produces evenly spaced horizontal lines on the CRT. The vertical auto bias circuit monitors the power driver output and sends a feedback signal to the vertical control circuit to maintain the output at the required level. The control V size located on the remote control PCB sets the vertical raster size. The control V RAS POS located on the remote control PCB sets the vertical raster position. Horizontal Circuit The horizontal control circuit consists of:

horizontal control circuit horizontal driver circuit horizontal output circuit.
The horizontal control circuit incorporates a variable sync delay and a phased loop to generate the horizontal timing. The H POS adjustment on the remote control PCB sets the sync delay time to control the horizontal raster position on the CRT. The horizontal sync pulse from the sync circuit is used to trigger a saw tooth generator in the horizontal control circuit. The output from the saw tooth generator is gated with the delayed sync pulse to control the horizontal oscillator. The output of the horizontal oscillator is applied to the horizontal driver. The horizontal driver converts the output from the horizontal control circuit to the high base current necessary to drive the horizontal output circuit. The horizontal output circuit consists of a transistor. The transistor produces a linear ramp current in the CRT horizontal yoke which provides the horizontal raster.
6-8
AM-1201322-02
Video Monitor
The output from the transistor is also applied to the flyback transformer. The flyback transformer (FBT):

generates a 25 kV potential for the anode of the CRT provides the focus voltage and the filament power for the CRT provides beam current to the horizontal size control circuit provides the flyback pulse to the video circuit for blanking.
The anode voltage multiplied by the beam current is the power that lights up the phosphor on the CRT face. The horizontal size control circuit has the following inputs:

H size adjustment from the remote control PCB beam current from the FBT vertical deflection voltages from the vertical output circuit.
These inputs are summed to produce the diode modulator control voltage. This voltage controls the current flow in a diode placed in series with the horizontal yoke. Maximum current flow in the diode equals maximum horizontal size.
AM-1201322-02
6-9
Video Monitor
Power Supply The power supply consists of:

voltage doubler switching regulator +12 V regulator +12 V zener overvoltage protection circuit.
The isolated supply input from the machine power supply assembly is sent to a voltage doubler which is used to improve efficiency. The voltage doubler outputs supply:

+127 V DC to video and deflection circuits -200 V DC to a switching regulator.
The switching regulator is synchronised by the horizontal control circuit to provide:

+16 V DC to the +12V DC regulator +24 V DC to the +12V DC zener.
The +12 V DC regulator and +12 V DC zener supply the video and the deflection circuits. They are used to minimise raster and video interactions. The over voltage protection circuit monitors the FBT generated 25 kV potential for the anode of the CRT. If this voltage exceeds its rated value, then the power supply is shut down.

Main Board
It is located immediately below the monitor shelf and secured to the cabinet by either one or two abloy locks or a physical seal. The assembly is mounted on a slide mechanism and can be withdrawn to a half extended or fully extended position, or can be removed completely from the cabinet. The main board is connected to the interface board by four ribbon cables, J1 to J4, and to the video monitor by a five-core loom. The following controls and indicators are available on the main board through the front panel of the tray assembly:
Two DIP switches give four different settings which change the background colour on the video monitor. The colours available depend on the game software. Three trimpots are for red, green and blue adjustments to the video monitor. The POWER OK LED is lit when power is on. The INT BAT OK LED is lit when the internal battery is operating normally. The EX BAT OK LED is lit when the external battery is connected and operating normally. The VOLUME CONTROL trimpot adjusts the volume, turn clockwise to increase the volume or anticlockwise to decrease the volume.
The logic door circuit monitors access to the main board when power is off. The main board contains the electronic control system for the machine, consisting of integrated circuits (ICs) and discrete components. These ICs consist of:

central processor unit (CPU) erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) static random access memory (SRAM) programmable logic device (PLD) field programmable logic array (FPLA) programmable read only memory (PROM) asynchronous communications interface adaptor (ACIA) peripheral interface adaptor (PIA) high speed CMOS logic (HCMOS).
A general layout of the board is shown in Figure 7-2 and the general positions of the game EPROMs are given in Table 7-1.

Basic Operation
The basic operation of the main board is shown in Figure 7-3. When power is applied to the main board, the video select multiplexer displays video from the colour map as selected by the cathode ray tube controller (CRTC). The video screen displays the main menu, from which one of six games can be selected by the player. The CPU monitors the coin handling system signals, the touch screen controller and the play button pushed signal from the interface board to commence game operation. On receiving a set of coin handling signals from the interface board which indicate a valid coin, the CPU increments the electronic meters in the meter SRAM, increments the electro-mechanical meters, and enables relevant input and output (I/O) circuits and the interface board. On receiving appropriate game signals from the touch screen or from the play buttons, the CPU checks the electronic credit meter reading to ensure that there are sufficient credits available to play the game. The CPU then decrements the electronic credit meter by the required number of credits, depending on the gambling options selected by the player. It then commences game operation from the operational program and associated combination data loaded in the EPROM. As determined by the game from the operational program, video is sent to the monitor from the colour map PROM. The timing generator switches the video select multiplexer to pass the CPU address to obtain the shape EPROM address from the screen RAM, which in turn selects the shape EPROM. The output from the shape EPROM selects the colour map PROM and passes digital video signals to the digital-to-analog converters. The resultant analog game video is displayed on the monitor. This video is updated so that the monitor continues to display the game in progress. Concurrent with the game in progress, data to and from the rest of the machine is passed by the I/O circuits to and from the interface board. This data includes sound generation and lamp animation control signals. On completion of the game, the CPU increments or decrements, as appropriate, the electronic credit meter and electro-mechanical meter controls in the meter SRAM and initiates outputs through the I/O circuits and the interface board. The CPU waits for the next player initiated action. The timing generator switches the video select multiplexer to select the CRTC address to obtain the main menu, prior to a game being initiated by the player. The video from the colour map is displayed on the monitor.

When the CPU receives an indication that the player has pressed the collect button: The hopper is activated to pay the required coins into the coin tray (for payments of less than the cancel credit set for the machine). The electronic credit counter is decremented to zero. The electromechanical meter readings in the meter SRAM are updated and passed to the I/O circuits and the interface board as appropriate. The CPU then continues to monitor the valid coin movement signal from the interface board to initiate further games.

The main board contains various game options. It is capable of multi-gaming by the use of paged memory. The major functional blocks in the main board are (see Figure 7-4):

power and reset circuit timing generator microprocessor address decoder program EPROM and meter SRAM cathode ray tube controller (CRTC) and screen RAM video circuit input/output (I/O) and sound circuits.
The main board communicates to all peripherals and obtains power from the interface board via four ribbon cables, J1 to J4 inclusive. The exception to this is the generation of video on the monitor. The main board transmits video data directly to the monitor by the CRTC and the screen RAM.

Main Board
Timing Generator The timing generator provides all internal main board and external system timing signals and determines the mode, speed and resolution operating parameters of the machine. The timing generator consists of the ICs: U28, U31, U36, U32 and U54. System timing signals are generated by U31 and U32. U32 is programmed as a 3bit counter and 3-bit state machine which generates all of the timing signals for the CRTC and the CPU. A 12 MHz output from oscillator U54 clocks U32. In high speed mode, U32 also defines the I/O address range over which wait states are generated for slow I/O access. U31 receives the U32 output and generates the appropriate system timing signals as required for normal operation. The output signals from U31 are buffered by U36 and U28. Microprocessor Sub-System The microprocessor sub-system consists of the CPU (U27), data bus buffers (U56 and U57) and address bus buffers (U30 and U55). The 8-bit CPU generates the address bus signals and the read/write signals to control the direction of data flow on the data bus. The CPU address bus selects certain peripherals within the main board, such as game memory, CRTC controller and I/O devices. The system clock operates at 3 MHz. U56 and U57 buffer the data bus, and separate the data bus for system and I/O functions. U56 and U57 are controlled by enable signals to avoid the collision of data on the bus. U30 and U55 buffer the address bus. Address Decoder The address decoder consists of the CMOS PML device U33, which decodes the CPU address bus to select peripheral devices and memories. U33 also monitors the low battery input (external and internal) and disables the next memory write if one of these inputs is active. The address decoder receives the CPU address and generates individual select signals as well as providing signals to synchronise the timing generator.

Main Board
Program EPROM and Meter SRAM The software operational program is stored in the program EPROM. The meter SRAMs store the electronic meter readings. The program EPROM and meter SRAM consist of:

ICs U41 and U84 SRAMs U74, U75 and U76 EPROMs U59 to U62, U76 to U80, U86 to U93.
Three 32K x 8-bit SRAM devices, U74, U75 and U76, store electronic meter values (for electronic and electromechanical meters) from the CPU. They have eight banks of 4K selected by the CPU. The meter SRAMs are either battery backed-up or use a smart socket. There are eight EPROMs, U88 to U93, U77 and U78. These EPROMs support a multi-game program. U84 selects one of these eight paged 64K x 8-bit EPROMs according to the address lines. These paged EPROMs provide two banks of 32K program storage. There are also six sockets provided for multi-game combination data. U41 selects one of the six paged combination EPROMs: U59, U60, U61, U62, U79 or U80. Each of these devices can be used to store 4K bytes of combination data.
CRTC and Screen RAM The CRTC generates all video synchronisation (sync) signals required by the monitor and refreshes the video screen. Screen RAM stores the character shapes displayed during a game. The CRTC and screen RAM consists of the ICs: U18, PLD U24, PLD U25, U26, U49, U50, U51, U52 and U73. U24 and U25 perform the address multiplexer function for the screen RAM. U24 and U25 output either the CRTC address or the CPU address to the screen RAM control U73. U73 selects the screen RAM between U49 or U50, according to the output from the address multiplexer. U26 generates all the video sync signals required by the monitor:

display enable (DE) horizontal sync (HS) vertical sync (VS).
The CRTC also controls the video address information to spool out the video image from the screen RAM and refresh the video screen. Screen RAM is provided by U49 and U50 and stores the character shapes to be displayed. The screen RAM can store 16 bits of information for every character position on the screen (see Figure 7-5).
7-12
AM-1201322-02
Main Board
Figure 7-5 16 Bit Screen Data Format
The video image from U49 and U50 consists of 1026 characters (76 characters wide by 27 characters high). Each character is 8 by 8 pixels. This gives a total screen on the monitor 608 pixels wide by 216 pixels high. U51, U52 and U18 latch the data from the screen RAMs, which selects and controls the desired character in the shape EPROMs.
Shape EPROM and Video Circuit The shape EPROM and video circuit determine the video output to the monitor, and consists of:

EPROMs U20, U21, U22, U23, U45, U46, 47 and U48 PROM U74 U84 PLDs U63, U64, U65, U66, U67, U68, U69 and U70.
Eight 1M x 8-bit shape EPROMs store the shape to be displayed for up to eight banks of 1024 character sets as follows: U20 and U45 provide information on the blue content of the shape to be displayed U21 and U46 contain information on the green content of the shape to be displayed U22 and U47 contain information on the red content of the shape to be displayed U23 and U48 contain an extra 2 bits of information for each shape. As selected by the address from screen RAM, the outputs from the shape EPROMs are connected to the synchronous video shift registers U63 to U70. The shifted video outputs from the video shift registers are addresses for the colour map PROM U74. The colour map PROM is a 16 K x 8-bit high speed CMOS PROM.
AM-1201322-02
7-13
Main Board
There are eight bits to select the colour map, giving 256 colours. The eight colour signals from the video shift registers and the three colour map lines provide the address to the colour map PROM U74, which in turn identifies the specific 8-bit colour information required from its memory. The output from U74 comprises:

two blue bits three green bits three red bits.
Discrete control lines provide eight banks of colour maps for the multi-game mode. The output from the colour map is passed to U84 which latches the data. U84 provides stable video information for the digital-to-analog (D/A) converters. Resistors perform the digital to analog conversion. Transistors Q6, Q7 and Q8 buffer and interface the resulting analog signal to the video monitor. Three potentiometers, RV1, RV2 and RV3 provide colour adjustment. The output from the D/A converters is passed to the video monitor for display.
Input and Output The input and output (I/O) circuits (U3, U35, U8, U13, U14, U16 and U17) provide the interface between the main board and the interface board for data transmission and reception to the rest of the system and peripheral equipment. Sockets J1 through J4 provide the link to the interface board via ribbon cables. U3 provides inputs and outputs from and to the rest of the machine. The I/O functions of U3 are listed in Table 7-2. The Versatile Interface Adaptor, U8, drives the programmable sound generators U5 and U6, as required by the CPU. The sound is amplified by U102 and U103, with potentiometer RV4 adjusting the output level. U8 also drives various inputs and outputs, as well as generating a timer interrupt to the CPU. The Peripheral Interface Adaptor U35 provides the output signals for six electromechanical meters. U35 also interfaces the real time clock DS1287 to the CPU. DS1287 has its own on-chip battery.

The asynchronous communications interface adaptor (U14) provides a serial interface Port 1 to communicate to and from peripherals. The dual asynchronous communications interface adaptor (U17) provides a serial interface for Ports 3 and 4. U17 also provides input and output options for system expansion in the future for:

input of power fail detection (PFD) DES chip identification (DESID) from encryption board display enable (DE) input from CRTC horizontal sync (HS) input from CRTC vertical sync (VE) input from CRTC power fail interrupt flip flop clear (PFCLR) output drive output pins for diagnostic check LEDs LD1, LD2 and LD3.
Power and Reset The power and reset circuits consist of the ICs: U1, U74, U75, U82 and U83. U82 monitors the logic power rail Vcc (+5 V DC) from the power supply assembly) and generates a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) reset signal if the Vcc is lower than 4.4 V DC. U82 also generates a control signal for the battery back-up circuit U74 and U75. If a low Vcc condition is detected, non-maskable interrupt (NMI) circuits are triggered, which:

set an NMI to the CPU; switch Vcc to VBATT when Vcc is 50 mV greater than VBATT as Vcc falls.
VBATT is obtained from the internal lithium 3 V, 0.66 A battery. The IC U83 acts as a dual voltage comparator. U83 monitors the battery voltages and generates low battery signals when a trip voltage of 2.2 V for the on-board battery is reached. The status of the internal battery is indicated by LED LD5. It is lit when the internal battery voltage is higher than the trip voltage.

Interface Board
8.1
8.1.1
The Mk IV interface board is a single printed circuit board (PCB) mounted vertically at the rear of the cabinet. The interface board (see Figure 8-1) is attached to a metal mounting plate which is mounted on the cabinet. The metal cover protects the interface board and looms against accidental damage. The four ribbon cables connected to the interface board pass data to and from the main board. The interface board is mounted to the mounting plate in 12 places to minimise stress on the PCB when the connectors are being inserted or removed. The interface board contains high-current driver integrated circuits (ICs) for the pushbutton lamps. These ICs are located so that no looms run over the top of them. Peripheral interface drivers, a configuration socket and transient suppressors are also mounted on the interface board.

Removal
CAUTION
When handling electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) such as PCBs, take care to avoid physical contact with components. PCBs should be handled by their edges. ESD items should not be placed on metal surfaces. When handling PCBs, take care to avoid flexing the PCB. Flexing may cause damage.
To remove the interface board (refer Figure 8.1): 1 2 3 Open the cabinet door. Switch the machine off. Disconnect each ribbon cable from the interface board: Flick open the locks at each side of the cable socket. Pull the cable socket directly out. Remove the cover from the interface board: Loosen the two retaining nuts. Slide the plate upwards and free of the two slots in the holding bracket and lift the plate clear. Disconnect each of the remaining cables from the interface board. Take care not to bend the plugs sideways to free them from the board as this will damage them. Remove the mounting plate, with the interface board attached, from the machine: Loosen the two retaining nuts. Slide the mounting plate upwards and free of the slot in the holding bracket and lift the plate clear. Note

Coin Handling
9.1
9.1.1
When the coins are inserted into the machine through the coin entry on the cabinet door, they pass through to the coin handling system which consists of (see Figure 9-1): coin comparator coin chute assembly with a coin diverter solenoid attached two photo-optic modules The coin chute assembly is mounted in the cabinet door on two spring-loaded studs at the bottom and two hook brackets at the top for ease of removal and replacement. The following components are mounted on the coin chute assembly: a coin comparator two photo-optic modules These components clip in to the coin chute assembly for ease of removal and replacement.
9.1.2
Basic Operation
The coin handling system (see Figure 9-1) is selected for the particular machine requirements and is fitted and adjusted at the factory to suit a specific coin denomination. Once the chute assembly is installed it should not require any further resetting or adjustments. The coin entry is situated on the cabinet door trim, and accepts only the coin denomination specified for that particular machine. It does not accept oversized or bent coins. The coin entry ensures that the coin is directed into the coin comparator correctly. Once in the coin comparator the inserted coin is compared with a sample coin held within the comparator. If the comparator rejects the inserted coin, it is sent to the coin tray via the reject chute. If the comparator accepts the inserted coin it falls into the coin accept chute and travels through the coin-in photo-optic module. This module checks the time it has taken for the coin to travel from the comparator to the coin-in photo-optic module, and the direction of travel.
AM-1201322-02
9-3
Coin Handling
A coin diverter solenoid, which is mounted at the rear of the diverter window, sends the coins to the hopper. When the hopper is full, further coins are sent to the cash box. The coins diverted to the cash box travel via the cash box feed chute, through a cash box photo-optic module where they are counted.
9.1.3
The function of the coin handling system is shown in Figure 9-1. When a coin is inserted in the coin entry and passes to the comparator, it first hits a weighted lever which slows down the speed. The coin then passes in front of a scanner which detects the diameter, thickness and mass, and compares it with the sample coin held in the comparator. If the coin is accepted, the comparator directs the coin to the accept chute and the comparator sends a valid coin signal to the coin-in photo-optic module. If the comparator rejects the coin, the coin is directed into the coin reject chute. The accepted coin passes through the coin accept chute and into the coin-in photooptic module. The coin-in photo-optic module uses two photo-optic detectors to detect the coin and sends three output signals to the main board, via the interface board (see Figure 9-1):
The Simval pulse is sent if the module received a valid coin signal from the comparator and photo-optic detectors A and B detected the coin passing in the correct direction within the next second. The Simval pulse is delayed until Optic A is sent. The two signals are then sent to the main board together. The Optic A pulse is sent if photo-optic detector A detects the coin passing. The Optic B pulse is send if photo-optic detector B detects the coin passing. If these outputs indicate a slow moving coin or a coin travelling in the wrong direction, the main board shuts down the machine, an alarm is sounded and the screen displays a fault message. If the coin is accepted, the electronic meters for credit are updated. The coin then passes through the diverter window. The coin diverter solenoid, located behind the diverter window with forks protruding through the window, delivers the coin to the hopper or cash box. This solenoid is controlled by a probe in the coin hopper, and only sends the coin to the cash box if the hopper is full. If the coin is passed to the cash box it passes through a cash box photo-optic module which detects that the coin has gone into the cash box. This photo-optic module sends an output signal to the main board, via the interface board, and the number of coins going into the cash box are registered on the electronic cash box meters.

Coin Comparator
Physical Description (see Figure 9-3) The comparator is mounted at the top of the coin chute assembly and consists of a housing containing: scanner unit, weighted lever, seven-pin socket, printed circuit board (PCB), potentiometer, six-pin socket, coin accept solenoid.
The comparator is factory set to accept different size coins. There are four settings: narrow gap, full gap, large diameter, increased gap.
The seven-pin socket is used to connect the comparator PCB with the scanner unit and the coin accept solenoid. The six-pin socket is used to connect the comparator to the coin-in photo-optic module. Basic Operation When the coin enters the comparator (refer Figure 9-3) it hits a weighted lever which slows down the travel. Weights on the lever are changed to suit the denomination. Just below the weighted lever is the scanner unit housing two sensor coils, one on each side of the coin path. The coin is compared with a sample coin situated on the front of this unit. Mounted on the rear of the comparator is a coin accept solenoid which controls the direction of the coin. A lever attached to this solenoid is normally in the reject position and only operates when the comparator accepts the coin played. If the coin is accepted, the solenoid operates allowing the coin to pass into the coin accept chute.

Coin Chute Assembly

Physical Description (see Figure 9-4) The back plate, complete with the comparator mounting section, holds the assembly together and is used to clip the assembly to the cabinet door. The reject chute carries all sizes of coins from the comparator to the coin tray. The hopper feed chute carries the coins to the hopper. When the diverter solenoid operates, it projects two prongs of a fork through the window to guide the coins forward to the hopper chute. The coin size plate is adjusted according to coin size to help guide the coins into the hopper chute. The cash box feed chute guides the coins to the cash box. Shims are placed between the back plate and the front plate at thicknesses of 0.8 mm increments depending on the denomination. These shims are arranged in various configurations to meet world coinage sizes. The front plate holds the shims, hopper feed chute and the photo-optic modules, and is secured to the backplate with six studs, washers and nuts. A 25-way D-type socket on the coin chute assembly is used for all connections to the interface board from the coin handling system.
Basic Operation The main purpose of the chute is to channel the coins to the destination directed by the comparator and the diverter solenoid. If the comparator rejects a coin, the coin chute assembly guides the coin down the reject chute to the coin tray. If the comparator accepts the coin, the coin accept chute assembly guides the coin to the hopper. If the hopper is full, the coin diverter solenoid is de-energised and the coin is diverted into the cash box feed chute.

Basic Operation The coin-in photo-optic module: detects the coin, monitors the coin direction. As a coin passes through the photo-optic module it is detected by two photo-optic detectors within the module. Each detector sends an output signal to the module microprocessor which validates them and sends them to the main board via the interface board. The cash box photo-optic module detects the coin and sends a signal to the main board, via the interface board, for processing.

Each photo-optic module operates as shown in Figure 9-6. The housing and arm of the photo-optic module straddle the coin chute (View A). There are two LED transmitters in the arm of the photo-optic module. The light beam from LED transmitter A is detected by photo-optic detector A (located in the housing of the photo-optic module) when there is no passing coin in the coin chute. This also applies to LED transmitter B and photo-optic detector B. View B shows the position of the photo-optic detectors in relation to the coin passing through the coin chute. View C shows the five positions a coin goes through as it passes the two photooptic detectors.

Hopper
10.1.2
Basic Operation
The hopper (see Figure 10-2) is used to hold and dispense coins. Coins entering the machine are fed into the hopper bowl or the cash box chute through the coin handling system. Coins are fed into the cash box when the hopper is full. The hopper dispenses coins into the coin tray when the player has credits and presses the COLLECT play button. The hopper can pay out any number of coins below the cancel credit amount. If the number of coins in credit is greater than this amount, the machine locks up and the attendant must reset the machine. The credits are paid as a book pay by the cashier. If the player presses the COLLECT play button, when the number of coins in credit is greater than the number of coins in the hopper, all coins in the hopper are dispensed. The machine then locks up. The attendant must refill the hopper and reset the machine before the balance of coins is dispensed. If the machine pays out too many coins, or not enough, the machine stops and cannot be played until the attendant has fixed the problem.
Hopper Parts The stationary parts of the hopper are (see Figure 10-4):

The casting with gearbox, side handle, and motor attached The casting plate which is bolted to the casting with one fixed and three spring-loaded bolts The bowl with handle, internal baffles, coin slider, and probe which is secured to the casting plate. The moving parts of the hopper, which are rotated by the motor, are:

the disc the spigot the coin stirrer.
The hopper PCB transmits two outputs from detectors:
Output to the machine interface board from a probe, which detects when the hopper is full Output to the hopper PCB from a photo-optic detector, which detects coins as they are dispensed from the hopper. The photo-optic detector is mounted in one of two positions, Position X or Position Y.

Coin Dispensing When the hopper PCB receives a hopper drive signal from the main board via the interface board, the PCB starts the hopper motor. The motor rotates the disc in an anticlockwise direction (see Figure 10-4). As the disc turns, the coins are caught between the disk pins and the edge of the spigot. If there is more than one coin between two pins on the disc, the excess coin(s) are cleared by the second coin wipe-off spring. The single coins are then detected by the photo-optic detector, which sends a weak signal to the hopper PCB. The PCB amplifies the signal and sends it to the main unit via the interface board. The second coin wiper pawl then ejects the pay-out coins from the disk into the hopper coin chute. The coin runner guides the coins into the hopper coin chute. The main board counts the coins. When the correct payout number is reached, it terminates the hopper drive signal to the hopper PCB. The hopper PCB stops the motor, which is then held by an electronic brake. The second coin wiper pawl prevents the next coin from falling from the disc.
Hopper Full Detection A probe is fitted onto the hopper bowl at the hopper upper level limit to detect a full hopper (see Figure 10-4). If the coins reach the probe, it creates an electrical circuit through the coins to ground. The probe is monitored by the main board. If the probe indicates that the hopper is full, the software operates the diverter solenoid, (situated behind the diverter window on the coin chute assembly) which diverts the coins to the cash box. The position of the probe in the hopper is adjusted to alter the maximum coin level.
Coin Jamming Prevention A spigot and coin stirrer keeps the coins moving in the hopper bowl (see Figure 10-4). They are friction fitted to the disc. Also, there is a spring-loaded coin slider to prevent the hopper from jamming because of coin stacking. Two baffles, secured with spring-loaded bolts, control the coin level in the bowl. The casting plate is connected to the casting by four bolts. The top bolt is fixed, but the other three are spring loaded. This is to prevent serious damage to the casting if there is a large coin jam in the bowl. The opening on the hopper casting allows dirt and foreign objects to escape.

11.1.2
Basic Operation
The power supply assembly is used to:

generate power supplies and control signals for internal use within the machine; provide, via a single fuse and power switch, two mains outputs rated at 0 to 4 A for external use.
The power supply assembly accepts both 200 to 240 V AC (10%), 50/60 Hz and 100 to 120 V AC (10%), 50/60 Hz mains supply. The power supply assembly converts the input into the following output supplies and control signals:

+24 V DC (+2%, -8%), 0 to 3 A continuous supply, ripple of 50 mV peak-to peak (0 to 50 MHz) +5 V DC (5%), 500 mA to 3 A continuous supply, ripple of 100 mV peak-topeak (0 to 50 MHz) +12 V DC (5%), 0 to 2 A continuous supply, ripple of 100 mV peak-to-peak (0 to 50 MHz) 26 V AC (+1%, -10%), 0 to 0.5 A continuous supply high frequency drive for one to three fluorescent tube sets isolated 126 V AC (+1%, -10%), 0 to 0.8 A video monitor supply (this supply is labelled 110 V AC video monitor supply) shut-down signal.
The same isolation transformer is used for both 200 to 240 V AC and 100 to 120 V AC mains supply input to provide the isolated 126 V AC video monitor supply. The configuration of the transformer is automatically changed to suit the input voltage. The power supply assembly automatically switches to accept either of the mains supply inputs. The power supply assembly has:

overload protection short-circuit protection overvoltage protection.
AM-1201322-02
11-5
The power supply assembly turns off when:
the +24 V DC output is either overloaded or short-circuited for more than 100 ms the high-frequency fluoro drive output is short circuited for more than 100 ms. the +5 V DC supply is outside its specifications the +24 V DC exceeds +29 V DC. A sensed overload, short-circuit or overvoltage condition causes the shut-down signal to go Low. This causes the power supply assembly to turn off. To recover from these conditions, the mains input supply must be switched off for at least 5 seconds. If the power supply assembly continues to turn off after the mains input supply has been turned off, then on, there is a fault condition in either the power supply assembly or the circuits external to the power supply assembly. To protect the logic circuits in the machine during power-up after either manual turn-on or a recovery from a loss of the mains supply, the +5 V DC output is monitored. The power supply assembly outputs are inhibited by the shut-down signal being held Low until the +5 V DC output is within specification. 200 milliseconds prior to the +5 V DC supply reaching specification, the shutdown signal goes High allowing normal operation. During power-down, either manual turn off or overload, short-circuit or overvoltage conditions, the shut-down signal is forced Low 20 milliseconds prior to the +5 V DC output passing outside its specifications.
11-6
AM-1201322-02
11.1.3
Power supplies and control signals which are generated by the power supply assembly are either passed to the interface board or sent directly to relevant system components. Where they are passed to the interface board, they are distributed throughout the machine as required for normal operation. The various power supplies and control signals are used as follows:

+24 V DC used in electric circuits such as the hopper, lamps, solenoids, sound circuits and motors +5 V DC used in logic circuits +12 V DC used in the stand-alone progressive system (where fitted) and the multi-coin mechanisms (where fitted) 28 V AC used for the bill acceptor (where fitted) high frequency drive output consisting of a two wire, high frequency feed capable of driving three sets of 15 W fluorescent tubes, starters and ballasts shut-down signal turns off the power supply assembly when it is Low to protect the power supply assembly and external circuits from damage two auxiliary outputs for external use.
11.1.4
Controls and Indicators

The main switch is used to apply the input mains supply to the power supply assembly. The auxiliary switch is used to provide the mains supply to the two auxiliary power sockets. When lit, the three LEDs indicate, from the top to the bottom, that the +5 V DC, the +12 V DC and the +24 V DC output supplies are correct. If an LED is not lit, the power supply may not be functioning correctly.

Basic Bill Entry Operation commences when a bill of a suitable denomination is inserted in the bill acceptor indicated on the bill entry display. The bill is inserted one-centimeter, either end first and face up. The unit initiates operation and, as the note is moved a further 5 mm forward, the unit automatically moves the currency over the magnetic head and optical system. Evaluation is performed, and acceptance or rejection results. Upon acceptance, credits are issued only after the currency has exited the acceptor and been placed in the security stacker. A rejected bill is returned to the player. A bill should be read three times before being classed as unreadable.

Machine Functions and Indicators

The bill acceptor provides: bill acceptance and rejection using standard or high-security scanning levels, change-giving service when credits are collected after bill insertion without game play, system status notification by LED displays in the scanner unit and as programmed and actioned by the Aristocrat 540 machine, self test procedures, setting of functional options by DIP switch and by play-button/screen-displays, setting of tokenisation and functional bill acceptor denominations by playbutton/screen-display, performance adjustments as achieved through video-level adjustment procedure remote control through the serial RS232 protocol and link. Aristocrat utilises the Mars GL5 Bill Acceptor Protocol and the Mars VFM4 Series Currency Acceptor Interface Specification together with proprietary programs to achieve system functions. The GL5 standard recognises R50 and R100 bills as well as the removal and replacement of the bill stacker.
The bill acceptor is disabled under program control for the following conditions:

fault conditions lock up when machine has entered audit mode, player has actioned collect credits, or the credit meter is over the limit established during set up.
It should be noted the bill acceptor will reject notes with values less than the game-denomination value. Special attachments provide for the flow of entry and payout coins to the standard cash box and coin tray. Machines fitted with a ticket printer are able to output tickets to the coin tray. The coin hopper has a shorter bowl than usual to provide for the special attachments and the resiting of main door units. A reduction of 20% in coin storage capacity results from the shorter and wider bowl. The bill acceptor unit is software controlled by its own internal control system as well as the Aristocrat 540 game system. Connection to the main board is via the J34 8-pin connector on the interface board. The power requirement of 24 V DC is

provided from the machine power supply. Other links function for the security switches and light tower displays. Standard operations continue for other machine attachments (when fitted) such as coin entry, hopper and ticket-printer payout, handle operation, light tower display, and meter controls. Electromechanical and electronic meters provide for audit, performance, and history requirements. See chapter on Machine Modes.

Basic Operation
WARNING
Important - Power off switch The bill acceptor must be reset on turning on the machine. This can be done by ensuring the machine is always powered down by turning power off from the external power switch. Do not use the internal power off switch as the bill acceptor is isolated from this switch.
Primary validation is conducted by the three infrared emitter and detector pairs transmissive optical technique which are connected to the microprocessor through A/D and D/A converters. The light intensity of the emitters is controlled by the microprocessor. However, it is necessary to set a reference level (video level) for the machine to operate properly. This will calibrate the optical system to optimum performance . The video level adjustment procedure should be accomplished any time the currency channel is separated. The model IVO has simplified access to the currency channel which is facilitated by four thumb screws. This access feature is provided as a convenience to facilitate periodic maintenance. If the acceptor appears to have a very low acceptance percentage (less than 70% acceptance), the video level adjustment procedure should be initiated. Secondary validation is accomplished by the utilization of two subsystems, the magnetic head and the spectro measurement circuit. Each system, primary and secondary, has equal importance, and may individually or collectively initiate note rejection.

Other optical sensors used in the system include, the currency channel input sensor, which is a reflective type. When activity is detected (currency in the input channel) the microprocessor will start the stepper motor running. All optics will be brought to the operating level, and the note will be presented to all sensors for examination. During the validation process the microcomputer will make decisions about the validity of the note presented. These decisions may be influenced by the selection of security levels (one and two) available as options using the program data card. The levels of security generally have no effect on the acceptance of notes in good condition. Highly circulated notes may have a reduction of acceptance of approximately ten to fifteen percent. The rear of the currency channel has an optical switch (transmitter type) which is activated by the rear flag assembly. The flag signals the microprocessor when a bill has left the currency channel. Credit is never issued until the currency is out of the machine. Where a stacker is used, the currency must first be stacked before credit is issued. The angular position of the flag permits the bills leading edge only to raise the flag. The steel bar attached to the flag will help detect if a foreign substance is attached to the bill. The unit requires that a bill be inserted (either end first) face up into the throat of the unit, approximately one centimeter, for the front sensor to be activated and operation to begin. At this time the motor will operate. Insert the currency an additional half centimeter approximately and the timing belts and pressure rollers will grab the currency and position it over the magnetic head and optical system. At this time a comprehensive evaluation of the currency validity is performed.
AM-1201322-02
12-15
The bill will be either accepted or rejected. Upon acceptance, credit will be issued only after the currency has exited the acceptor. Currency Acceptance Evaluation An evaluation of the units acceptance level should be performed by inserting a quantity of circulation-quality bills. Torn, crumpled, or excessively dirty notes are not considered circulation quality. Attempt to have the notes validated allowing three attempts for each. Divide the number of bills rejected by the sample quantity of bills used - the result is the percent rejected. If the acceptance rate is poor (greater than 30% rejection) it is necessary to perform the video level adjustment procedure.
12.2Bill Acceptor Adjustments

12.2.1 Video Level Adjustment
The bill acceptor aims to achieve a high acceptance level of greater than 95% performance (in up to 3 read attempts). However, over time, performance can continue to deteriorate towards 70%, requiring a procedure to adjust the internal video level and re-establish acceptable bill acceptor performance.

This adjustment procedure requires a sheet of white copy-machine paper to be cut to the approximate size of any bill and the following steps carried out: Disconnect the power to the bill acceptor, Depress and hold the service switch located near the DIP switches (refer to Figure 12-6), Power up the bill acceptor keeping the service switch depressed, Insert the white paper cut-out into the currency channel, The bill acceptor will slowly step the paper in and out of the channel. The video level adjustment process is complete when the paper is clear of the channel.
12.3Removal and Replacement Procedures

12.5.2
Bill Acceptor Jams

In the event of a note jamming in the bill acceptor, the bill acceptor will automatically alternate the direction of the note transport belts to remove the jammed note. This will continue for five attempts, after which, the machine displays a fault message and locks up. If the bill acceptor cannot clear the jam, follow these steps (refer to Figs 12-3 and 12-13): 1. 2. 3. Open the main door and switch OFF the machine. Unlatch the dual cage assembly from the main door. Gently swing the assembly out of the door until it is against the stop . This will give limited access to the note channel. If full access is required, follow the removal procedure for the bill acceptor. On the bill acceptor, unclip the upper guide, swing it forward, then clear the note jam. CAUTION
The Bill Acceptor is controlled by complex electronics. Unqualified personnel must not interfere with the unit.
4.
The scanning and transport channel of the bill acceptor passes currency in a direct process to the stacker at the rear of the unit. Should a bill become lodged within the scanning channel a licensed service technician should carry out the necessary clearance and repair. CAUTION
Ensure the power is turned off before any maintenance procedures are carried out on the bill acceptor, stacker and dual cage doors.
1. 2.
3.
4.
It is possible that a jam may occur at the entrance to the stacker, in the stacker itself, or at the entrance to the bill scanning channel. To clear the offending bill or obstruction from the scanning channel from outside the machine, withdraw the obstruction. Do not use an object to clear the item. Obstructions can be removed from the entrance to the stacker. Follow the instructions above and the procedure for removal and replacement of the bill acceptor stacker. Clear the obstruction without the use of any object to clear the item. If it is necessary to remove the bill acceptor from the rear of the main door, raise the locking latch without damaging the retaining spring, and withdraw the unit. See Figure 12-4.

AM-1201322-02
12.6Care and Maintenance

Constant use of the bill acceptor results in a build up of dirt from the notes which will accumulate on the note transport mechanism and validation optics. Regular general maintenance of the Bill Acceptor should be carried out as follows: CAUTION
DO NOT flood ANY components with liquids as that may damage the electronics and other components of the bill acceptor module. Do not use any solvent other than isopropyl alcohol as permanent damage to the bezel and other components of the bill acceptor module may occur.
Wipe off the bezel with a soft cloth dampened with a 90% isopropyl alcohol to remove surface deposits and dirt. Clean the note channel surfaces using a soft cloth dampened with 90% isopropyl alcohol. Wipe both the upper and lower guides to remove surface dirt. Pay particular attention to the optics area and the magnetic read head. Clean the pressure rollers and belts. The belts may be cleaned by rotating the drive rollers to expose the belt surface. Check that all connectors are clean and secure.

Games
Three families of games are currently played on the 540 Video gaming machine: simulated spinning reel games, blackjack, and bingo (or keno).
A.1 Simulated Spinning Reel Games

The screen displays a simulation of reels spinning. When the spinning reels come to rest, if the result is a winning combination, it flashes on the screen and the machine plays the win tune. The screen displays the amount of the win and the new credit total that has been increased by the win amount. An animated game is a feature available on a second screen in some spinning reel machines giving players the chance to randomly select a win amount on certain winning combinations.
A.2 Blackjack
The standard game is described below. The screen displays two hands of two cards each: the players cards on the left and the dealers cards on the right. Both players cards are displayed face up. With the dealers cards, both may be displayed face up, or one face up and one face down. To win, the players total score must exceed the dealers total but not exceed 21.
A.3 Extra Two Ball Bingo (Keno)

To play, a player selects 3 to 10 numbers from 80 numbered squares. The object of the game is to match the numbers selected by the player with those the machine selects by dropping 20 numbered balls. The player has the option of buying two extra balls to increase the number of possible matches. Prizes are paid according to how many of the numbers match.

B.1 What is a Conversion

A machine is converted upon a formal customer request. The customer may request a conversion to change such things as: the coin denomination accepted by the machine, the token accepted by the machine (for example: A $1 coin is used in a machine with a 10 cent game. When the $1 token is inserted, the machine registers 10 credits.), the artwork, the play buttons, the game, the percentage of the credits played returned to the player (this requires an EPROM change). The customer must ask for and receive written approval from the local authorities before the club manager sends an order to Aristocrat for the conversion. When requested to carry out a conversion, the technician is provided with a conversion kit which contains all instructions, location charts and parts required. A conversion may require the technician to complete one or more of the following changes: denomination change artwork change animation lamp change play button change EPROM change DIP switch and (or) rotary switch setting changes main board link changes interface board configuration board change coin-in photo-optic module link changes required.
This section summarises the procedures required to complete these changes.

B.2 Pre-conversion Procedures

When an order is received from the club manager for a machine conversion, the Sales Department passes a copy of the order to the Service Department. The Service Department sends a technician to the club to verify with the club manager that the changes to the machine, as requested on the club order, are correct. The technician also completes a site survey form. The technician must view the written approval from the local authorities to ensure that all the items listed on the order are the same as those approved by the authority. The technician must complete the site survey form and hand it to the Aristocrat Machine Conversion Department who organizes for a conversion kit to be packaged for the conversion. The kit contains all the parts and information required to complete the conversion as ordered by the club. Before beginning work on the machine the technician must ask the club manager to take all final meter readings and remove all coins from the machine.

B.3.1 Coin Comparator

The coin comparator is replaced if the new denomination is substantially larger or smaller in thickness than the existing denomination. For example, if the comparator is for a 50 cent coin and the machine is to be converted to a five cent coin, the comparator may allow two of the new coins to pass through together, side-by-side. Or, if a comparator is for a five cent coin and the machine is to be converted to a 50 cent coin, the new coin cannot not pass through because it is too thick. Table B.2 lists the comparator gaps required for Australian coins. Remove and replace the coin comparator in accordance with the relevant procedures given in the coin handling section.

Photo-optic Module Testing

The photo-optic module can be tested using the following set up (see Figure C.3): PC with a 24-bit I/O card and accompanying software optics detector tester TE402 The TE 402 tester connects to the PC and the photo-optic module via cables and sockets. The tester contains driving and buffer electronics and a 24 V DC power supply. To test the photo-optic module in this test configuration, run NOD.EXE and follow the instructions displayed on the PC screen. There is the option to perform an automatic test which performs all individual tests, or to perform individual tests separately. When the test(s) are complete, the software displays a list showing whether the test(s) passed or failed. The tests available are:

Opto-electronics checks that each photo-optic detector can be switched on and off. Cross-talk checks that the two photo-optic detectors are not interfering. Coin simulation checks that the module sends the correct signal for a normal coin, a yo-yo, and a coin jam. Mech_enable checks that the voltage regulator in the module is operating. Strobe checks that a high strobe signal forces all outputs high. Mode checks that the module can be powered-up in both Mark 2.5 and Mark IV mode. Option/Acceptor checks that the valid coin signal can be received from the comparator (acceptor) for Mark 2.5 mode, and that coins are processed without the valid coin signal for Mark IV mode. RDY checks that the RDY mode either queues the coin signals or allows them to be sent. Audit checks that an audit pulse is generated when a coin valid signal has been received and a valid coin has passed through the module. Simval checks that a simval pulse is generated when a coin valid signal has been received and a valid coin has passed through the module. Hold LEDs on holds the photo-optic detector LEDs on to allow the phototransistor voltages to be measured. Cycle LEDs (0.5 Hz) cycles both photo-optic detector LEDs on and off at 0.5 Hz to check their operation. Pushbutton test allows a check that the test pushbutton is operating.

Power Supply Testing

The TE 401 test set is used to test the power supply assembly. The test set is connected to the mains supply with a neon lamp to indicate power on, and the power supply assembly is connected to the test set via the appropriate cables and sockets (see Figure C.4). The tests available are: The Power OK signal is tested: if the signal is correct a green LED labelled OK lights, if the signal is not correct, a red LED labelled Failed lights. Each of the two auxiliary power sockets are tested and if power is present a neon lamp lights. All outputs are tested under normal load conditions with a switch to provide normal load for each output. For each DC and AC output except the 120 V AC output, the test set indicates undervoltage, conformance and overvoltage on three LEDs. For the 120 V AC output, the test set indicates the voltage on an expanded scale panel meter with coloured sections to show conformance. The +5 V DC output is tested for overload protection. The load is brought to about 9 amps and the power supply should shut down. The fluorescent lamp driver is connected to three 15 Watt tubes and drivers.
