batteryio~ta~ i;adeqYate
e to maintain
game statistic memory and the reset cir-
cuits in the event of a power failure.
March 3,1989
Introduction & S p e c i f i c a t i o n s
Lithium batteries on both the processor
board and the RTC module have suffi-
cient energy to maintain the CMOS RAM
memory for a total "power off' time of
ten years.
Failure-detection circuitry constantly
monitors machine operation and verifies
that all circuits are functioning properly.
A watchdog circuit continually interfaces
with the microprocessor to ensure con-
stant and accurate data processing.
Service Indicators
Tilt messages indicate that an event other
than normal game play has occurred
(e.g. COIN-IN TILT).
Security messages indicate that the
machine door has been opened or a
security problem has occurred (e.g.
DOOR OPEN).
Error codes indicate a data processing
error (e.g. CMOS ERROR).
Service displays indicate the machine is
inoperative and requires the services of a
technician (e.g. CALL ATTENDANT).
1.1.4 Machine Operation
The Player's Edge Plus machines have five
basic operational modes: game play mode, idle
mode, statistical data mode, self test mode and
ti1t mode. Explanations in this manual refer to
these modes and, for clarity, the following
definitions are included.
Game play mode - describes the normal
machine operation. If the machine is
functioning properly and a person is ac-
tively playing the machine, the machine
is in the game play mode.
Idle mode - describes the condition that
exists when the machine is functioning
properly, but is not actively being played.
I . If the processor board is equipped with a real time cbck (RTC)
module, the game statistic memory stored in CMOS RAM is protected
by WO internal Iithium batteries located within h e RTC module.
1-3
introduction & Specificstions
Statistical data mode - provides cumula-
tive game-play data (e.g. total number of
coins in) to a service technician. Only a
person possessing a jackpot reset key can
access this information.
Self test mode - describes the feature
that allows a technician to exercise any
portion of the machine's hardware to
verify proper operation or to isolate a
problem. The self test mode also con-
tains the programmable game options.
Tilt mode - describes the condition that
exists when a malfunction occurs with
the machine (e.g. coin jams, empty hop-
per tilt, etc.).
1.2 Spec ifications
Table 1-1 (Physical Specifications), Table 1-2
(Electrical Specifications), and Table 1-3 (En-
vironmental Specifications) list the machine
specifications and requirements. Figure 1-2

from each wire and crimp a Molex pin
(#08-50-0105) onto the end of each wire.
7. Insert the Molex terminated wires into a
4-pin Molex waferconnector (#156).
Table 2-2 lists typical wire colors and their
signal positions for the progressive har-
ness.
8. On the controller end of the progressive
harness, strip and terminate each wire
with an amp pin (#66593-1). The shield
does not require termination at this end.
9. Insert the amp-terminated wires into a
9-pin amp connector (#2074401). Table

3.8 Bill Acceptor
3.8.1 Description
The bill acceptor option allows Player's Edge
Plus machines to accept valid U.S. $1, $5, $10
and $20 bills. The bill acceptor functions in
either the credit mode or the change mode.
Credit mode - Credits are accumulated
on the credit meter when a bill is ac-
cepted. The validator will not accept
bills when a game is in progress or when
the number of coins bet plus the number
of credits is less than the maximum bet.
Change mode - The bill acceptor func-
tions like a change machine. The vali-
dator will not accept bills when a game
is in progress.
The bill acceptor is enabled only when: the
denomination is set to 54,10e, 25e, 50e, or $1;
the game is in the coin-in mode; the host
machine door is closed.
When a bill enters the acceptor, both the posi-
tion and properties of the incoming bifi are
checked by four optic sensors (V1, V2, V3 and
-
V4) and one magnetic sensor. An anti pull-
back lever prevents the validated bill kom
being pulled back through the acceptor.
The bill is held briefly "in escrow" while pulses
inform the Player's Edge Plus machine (host)
that a validbill has been accepted. The bill then
travels through the transporter assembly and
down into the drop box. ~n~ invalid bibs are
returned to the customer.
The bill acceptor has three major components:
Cabinet - includes the exterior housing,
wooden spacer plate and bill acceptor
harness
March 3,1989
Maintenance & Adjustments
Upper assembly - includes the Rowe
sor board, the status LED, interface board,
drive motor, and transformer
Lower assembly - includes the drop box
and lower transport unit
The status LED light on the front of the bill ac-
ceptor turns off when the validator will accept
bills, lights u p during game play or host mal-
functions when bills cannot be accepted, and
flashes to indicate a bill acceptor malfunction.
Refer to Sections 4.3.6 and 414.9 to resolve ac-
ceptor error codes.
Stand alone mode described in Section 4.4.9 is
used for functional verification of the acceptor
a n d processor board. The adjust mode
described in Section 3.8.6 allows fine-tuning of
the optical and magnetic sensors and recalibra-
tion of the processor board.
For information about the host machine's ac-
ceptor-related software, refer to the applicable
Player's Edge Plus Program Reference Guide.
Bill acceptor inputs and outputs can be check-
edusing the game program's self test mode and
statistical information is accumulated in the
game's statistical data mode.
See Figure 3-8, Bill Acceptor - Upper Assembly.
3.8.2 Removal
Remove both the upper and lower bill acceptor
assemblies to perform the following proce-
dures.
To remove the upper assembly, see Figure 3-8
and proceed as follows:

4.4.9 Bill Acceptor
Refer to Figure 3-8 in Section 3 for component
identification and use the following procedures
to remove jammed bills:
1. Unlock the upper acceptor assembly and
slide it out far enough to reach the ac-
ceptor and to read the twodigit error
code on the interface board's 7-segment
display. Refer to Section 4.3.6 to decipher
the current error code.
2. Open the top of the acceptor and remove
any jammed bills.
3. Look for jammed bills at the back of the ac-
ceptor and in the slot leading to the lower
transport unit.
CAUTION
Turn the machine power off before turn-
ing the transport gear by hand to release
jammed bilk. Be careful not to pinch your
fingers between the transport gear and the
drive motor gear.
4. If a jam occurs in the acceptor after the bill
has passed the anti pull-back lever at the
back of the acceptor, turn the transport
gear either forward or backward by hand
to release the bill.
5. Unlock and remove the lower acceptor as-
sembly. Remove any jammed bills from
the lower transport unit and the drop box.
6. If frequent bill jamming occurs, follow the
procedures in Section 3.8, Bill Acceptor
Maintenance.
Lf the status LED is on (indicating that the ac-
ceptor is no t operational):
1. Verify that the DIP switches on the inter-
face board are all turned to the off posi-
tion.
2. Check all electrical connections to the bill
acceptor harness, including the grounding
wire and the connectors located at the
back of the interface board.
3. Unlock the upper acceptor assembly and

ceptor and to read the twodigit error
code on the interface board's 7-segment
display. Refer to Section 4.3.6 to decipher
the current error code.
If the status LED is off (indicating that the ac-
ceptor is ready to receive bills) but the acceptor
does not engage when bills are inserted:
1. Check to see if the maximum bet has been
wagered. The acceptor will not accept
bills above the max bet.
Example: If the denomination of the host
Playefs Edge Plus machine is set at $1
and the max bet is set at 5, the bill ac-
ceptor will not take more than five one-
dollar bills. Also, in the same situation, if
the machine is set for credit play and the
credit meter shows 3 credits, the acceptor
will only take two additional dollars. A
bill of a larger denomination (in this case
a $5, $10 or $20) will be accepted before
the rnax bet is reached and increment on
the credit meter.
2. Check all electrical connections to the bill
acceptor harness, including the grounding
wire and the connectors located at the
back of the interface board.
3. If the acceptor does not start, but a click-
ing sound is heard, check the acceptor for
jammed bills.
4. Use the stand alone mode described
below to test the acceptor and processor
board.
5. If the problem still exists, contact IGT Cus-
tomer Service (Section 2) to return the
upper assembly for service.
Stand Alone Mode
A special stand alone mode can be used to test
the Rowe OBA-4 acceptor unit and its factory-
mated processor board independently from the
host machine wi thou t physically disconnecting
the bill acceptor.
1. Unlock the upper acceptor assembly and
slide it halfway out of the acceptor
Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
cabinet. Locate the four DIP switches on
the processor board.
2. Activate the stand alone mode by turning
DIP switch #I to the on position.
3. With the host machine power on, insert a
number of bills of varying denominations
into the bill acceptor.
4. Observe both the status LED on the front of
the upper assembly and the error codes
that may appear on the interface board's
7-segment display. Refer to Section 4.3.6
to resolve error codes.
5. If bills are accepted in the stand alone
mode, the Rowe unit and processor board
are functioning correctly.
6. If bills are not accepted in the stand alone
mode, refer to the procedures listed
above. If bills are still not accepted, con-
tact Customer Service. (Section 2)
To adjust the optic or magnetic sensors or the
motor speed and recalibrate the processor
board, refer to Section 3.8, Bill Acceptor Adjust-
ments.
When a circuit from the processor board is
suspected of being "open,"a point-to-point con-
tinuity measurement is recommended. Use the
following steps as a troubleshooting guideline.
I. Turn the machine power off or unplug the
AC line power cord.
2. Physically and visually check the wire har-
nesses or individual wires for any
damage. A broken wire whose insulation
is intact is soft and flexes easily at the
point of breakage, whereas, a good wire is
rigid and does not easily flex.
3. Check all related connectors for dislodged
pins or disconnected wires.
PLAYER'S EDGE PLUS SERIES
4. Connect a set of test extension cables from
PI and P2 on the mother board to J1 and
J2 on the processor board (PI to J1 and P2
to J2).
5. Refer to Appendix C, Wiring Diagrams,
for wiring pin-outs, wire colors and con-
nectors.
6. Set the VOM to the lowest scale for
measuring resistance and connect one
probe lead to the source component on
the processor board. Keep this probe lead
connected throughout the point-to-point
check.
7. Connect the other probe lead to the device
in question and observe the VOM. If the
circuit continuity does not measure closed
(0 ohms f .2 ohm tolerance), proceed to
Step 9. If the circuit does measure closed,
then an intermittent condition may exist.
Recheck the device in question and the
processor board or wiggle the related
wires and terminations while observing
the VOM.
8. Connect the probe lead to the next ter-
mination point in the circuit and observe
the VOM.
9. Follow this procedure back to the source
component on the processor board. The
mother board printed circuitry is also sub-
ject to failure.

Coin Acceptor Mechanisms
Introduction
The following information provides main-
tenance a n d adjustment instructions for
electronic and mechanical-optical coin ac-
ceptors. This appendix includes the CC-16 and
CC-33 electronic coin comparators and the
Series 100 mechanical-optical coin acceptors.
Electronic Coin
Com~arators
Description
The coin comparator is an electronic coin tester
that analyzes the material content of an incom-
ing coin, compares it to a samplecoin and either
accepts or rejects thecoin. Thecoin comparator
uses a sample coin, placed within a magnetic
field on the acceptor, to create a specific fre-
quency for comparison. The signal generated
by the sample coin frequency is important in
distinguishing coins of similar material.
As an incoming coin or token passes through a
separate magnetic field inside the coin com-
parator, the signal generated by the incoming
March 3,1989
coin is electronically compared to the signal
generated by the sample coin. If the two sig-
nals are alike, an internal lockout solenoid en-
ergizes and allows the coin to pass through the
accept channel. If the two signals are different,
the lockout solenoid remains inactive and di-
verts the coin to the reject channel.
Figure B-1 shows the major components of the
electronic coin mechanism.
Model CC-16
Coin Size Specifications
Coin diameter range: .705" thru 1.575" (17.9

Coin Acceptance Rate: 120 ms to 150 rns.
Mechanical-O~ticalCoin
Description
Theseries 100 mechanical-optical coin acceptor
requires minimal maintenanceand field adjust-
ment. The incoming coin's size (both thickness
and diameter), weight, metallic content, and
bouncedetermine whether thecoin mechanism
accepts or rejects the coin. Figure B-3 shows the
major components of the mechanical-optical
coin acceptor. Figure B-4 shows the location of
the coin accept and coin reject chutes.
Coin Cradle
The coin cradle tests each coin's weight and
size. An underweight coin fails to overcome
the cradle counterweight and hangs u p be-
tween the cradle arms. Activating the coin
reject plunger releases the coin and returns it
through the reject chute.
An over sized diameter coin fails to pass be-
tween the cradle and the diameter gauge and
hangs u p between the cradle a m . Activating
the coin reject plunger releases the coin and
returns it through the reject chute. A coin that
is over sized in thickness fails to pass between
themagnet gate and themain channel. Activat-
ing the coin reject plunger releases the coin and
returns it through the reject chute.
An undersized diameter coin passes between
the cradle arms and exits out the reject chute.
In the case of the U.S. quarter acceptor, an un-
dersize lever must first pivot to unlock the
PLAYER'S EDGE PLUS SERIES
cradle. An undersized diameter quarter fails to
unlock the cradle and hangs u p between the d
cradle a m . Activating the coin reject plunger
releases the coin and returns it through the
reject chute.
Magnet Gate
A magnet in the magnet gate checks the metal-
lic content of the incoming coin. The magnet
retains highly magnetic materials, such as steel
or iron. Activating the coin reject plunger
releases the counterfeit coin and returns it
through the reject chute. The magnet slows
down coins that have comparatively high mag-
netic properties, such as copper. The coin
drops off the end of the rail, short of the accept
entrance and returns through the reject chute.
A coin having little or no magnetic properties,
such as brass, zinc or lead, passes through the
magnetic field so fast that it overshoots the ac-
cept entrance and returns through the reject
chute.
Bounce Tester
In the case of the nickel coin mechanism, a
bounce tester checks the elasticity of the incom-
ing coin. Due to its magnetic properties, a
genuine nickel passes quickly through the
magnetic field and drops off the end of the rail
in an arc.
The nickel hits thebounce tester which, because
of the coin's elasticity, bounces into the accept
entrance. A counterfeit coin, passing through
the magnetic field at the same speed as a
genuine nickel, does not have the same elas-
ticity or bounce as a genuine nickel. The
counterfeit coin misses the accept entrance and
returns through the reject chute.
Serration Detector Assernbly
(Optional)
As a coin passes the detector spring, the serra-
tion on the coin's edge momentarily catches on
the spring, and directs the coin to the accept
side of the coin mechanism.

Series 100 Adjustments
All Series 100 coin mechanisms are factory ad-
justed for maximum performance. If thi coin
acceptor requires more critical adjustments or
if the unit has been disassembled for service,
use the following adjustment procedures.
Separator Assembly (Dime,
Quarter and SBAS Mechanisms )
1. Place the coin mechanism on a flat surface
with the back facing toward you and the
wiper operating-lever toward the top.
2. Loosen the separator retaining screw and
move the separator as far to the right as
possible. Tighten the screw.
3. Hold the coin mechanism in the test posi-
tion (upright) with the back facing toward
you and insert several coins (both old and
new). Each coin should pass through the
accept chute on the right. If some or all of
the coins strike the separator and exit out
the reject chute on the left side, proceed to
Step 4. If all of the coins pass, the separa-
tor does not require further adjustment.
4. Loosen the separator screw, move the
separator slightly to the left and carefully
tighten the screw.
5. Lnsert the coins again. If some of them
still do not pass, repeat Steps 3 and 4.

6. Be sure all screws are tight after making
any adjustments.
Serration Detector Assem bly
(optional)
Push slightly downward on the serration
spring to enable a greater variety of coin accep-
tance, including coins with smooth edges. Be J
careful pushing down to avoid damaging or
distorting the spring.
Push slightly upward on the serration spring,
should a coin wedge between the spring and
rail. Be careful pushing up to avoid damaging
or distorting the spring.
Kicker
1. Place the coin mechanism on a flat surface
with the back facing toward you and the
wiper operating-lever toward the top.
2. Loosen the kicker retaining screw and
move the kicker as far to the left as pos-
sible. Tighten the screw.
3. Hold the coin mechanism in the test posi-
tion (upright) with the back facing toward
you and insert several coins (both old and
new). Each coin should pass through the
accept chute on the right. If some or all of
the coins strike the kicker and exit out the
reject chute on the left side, proceed to

Step 4. If all of the coins pass, the kicker
does not require further adjustment.
4. Loosen the kicker screw, move the kicker
slightly to the right and carefully tighten
the screw.
5. Insert the coins again. If some coins still
do not pass, repeat Steps 3 and 4.
6. Be sure all screws are tight after making
any adjustments.
Diameter Gauge
1. Place the coin mechanism on a flat surface
with the front side facing toward you and
the wiper operating-lever toward the top.
2. Loosen the diameter gauge retaining
screw and move the diameter gauge as far
to the left as possible. Tighten the screw.
3. Hold the coin mechanism in the test posi-
tion (upright) with the front facing you
and insert a new coin. The coin should
easily enter the acceptor mechanism
without hanging up. If the diameter
gauge obstructs the coin entry, proceed to
Step 4. If the coin passes, the diameter
gauge does not require further adjustment.
4. Loosen the diameter gauge screw, move
the diameter gauge slightly to the right
and carefully tighten the screw.
5. Insert a coin again. If the coin still does
not pass, repeat Steps 3 and 4.
6. Be s u e all screws are tight after making
any adjustments.
Magnet Gate Assembly
1. Hold the coin mechanism in the test posi-
tion (upright) with the front side facing
toward you and the wiper operating lever
toward the top.
2. Turn the thickness screw counterclock-
wise several turns until the magnet on the
magnet gate assembly rests against the
main plate.

Coin Acceptor Mechanisms
3. Insert a coin of the correct denomination
(do not use bent coins). The coin should
stop in the coin entry against the upper
left post on the magnet gate assembly. Do
not remove the coin.
4. Turn the thickness screw clockwise until
the coin drops down into the coin mech-
anism and stops between the cradle and
the magnet housing. Do not remove the
coin.
5. Slowly turn the thickness screw clockuise
until the coin just passes under the mag-
net housing. The coin may pass complete-
ly through the coin mechanism at this
point.
6. Turn the thickness screw clockwise 1/8
turn to ensure acceptance of slightly thick-
er or uneven coins of the same denomina-
tion.
Undersize Lever Spring (SBA$
Only)
1. Open the undersize lever and hold the
cradle with the weight up. Loosen the
retainer screw and turn the retainer
counterclockwise until the cradle is held
over the lever.
2. Turn the retainer clockwise until the
cradle is released to the normal position
and does not hang at the bottom of the
undersize lever.
3. Test several coins and check for jamming.
Maintenance
The following procedures describe the main-
tenance of the Series 100 coin mechanism. The
operating environment (e.g. dust a n d
humidity) determines how often these proce-
dures should be performed. When servicing
the Series 100 coin mechanism, always check
for worn or damaged parts and replace as
necessary.
Coin Acceptor Mechanisms
CAUTION
Always wear eye protection when work-
ing with cotnpressed air or cleaning sol-
vents.
1. Clean the main plate with warm soapy
water and a stiff, short-haired brush to
remove any foreign deposits.
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and
dry using compressed air (not to exceed
60 psi).
3. Remove all metal filings from the magnet
by guiding the point of a screwdriver
along the edges of the magnet. The metal
filings should transfer to the screwdriver.
4. Remove the cradles and undersize levers.
Clean the inside of their bushings and
their pivot pins using a small-bristled
pipe cleaner.
5. Sparingly apply powdered graphite or
pencil lead to the pivot pins and bushings
and reassemble.
6. Remove all foreign matter from the
bounce tester (nickel acceptors only) and
make certain the tester retaining screws
are fastened securely.
Anti-Cheat Pendulum
The anti-cheat pendulum has been developed
and tested to achieve greater safety against
cheating. With proper setting between the
switch actuator wire and the pendulum, tests
have proven virtually 100%effective.
Aside from coin stringing protection, the pen-
dulum acts as a damper and a deflector for
smaller coins such as pennies. A small coin
strikes the anti-cheat pendulum and deflects it
enough to by pass a switch actuator wire when
using a mechanical coin-in switch.
The antitheat pendulum is included in most
Series 100 mechanical-optical coin acceptors.
To add the pendulum to older Series 100 Coin
Mech acceptors, follow the installation proce-
dures below.
PLAYER'S EDGE PLUS SERIES
Installation
1. Remove the 6-32 Phillips-head screw that
fastens the inner cover plate and the
return cover plate to the main plate as-
sembly and remove the two plates.
2. Place the inner cover plate on a flat sur-
face so that the pivot post is toward the
right and faces toward you.
3. Place the anti-cheat pendulum onto the
pivot post so that the serrated edge on the
pendulum faces down and toward the left.
4. Hold the pendulum in place and insert the
tab on the edge of the inner cover plate
into the slot on the inner side of the main
plate.
5. Carefully place the inner cover plate
against the main plate to capture the pen-
dulum between the two plates. The pen-
dulum should move freely at this point.
6. Insert the tab on the edge of the return
cover plate into the same slot on the inner
side of the main plate.
7. Align the single mounting hole in the
three plates located next to the pendulum.
8. Fasten the inner and return cover-plates to
the main plate with a 6-32 x 1/8" RHM
screw and tighten securely.
9. Check the pendulum for smooth opera-
tion; it should move freely, without bind-
ing.
