Service: Removing the Ball Ramp
Loosen the two Allen bolts shown below. Make sure they are not securing the ball ramp and use them to pry the panel up
and over the front ball deflector.

Rest the ball ramp on
yellow frame and use a
pivot point to lift the
panel out.

Service: Removing a Fish Bowl
To remove a fish bowl, twist counter clock-wise. The O-ring at the bottom of the bowl keeps the bowl
from loosening during game play. Do not add any lubrication to the O-ring. Doing so can result in
damage to the sensor board below.
To Install, align the notches at the board and twist clock-wise.

Service: Accessing the Sensors:
Remove the ball ramp and put aside. See “Removing the Ball Ramp”. Loosen the four Allen bolts that secure the side ball
deflectors. Remove the bowl in front of the bolt if tight. See “Removing a Fish Bowl” for details. Pull the top of the side ball
deflectors slightly toward the center of the cabinet and then straight up and out. . Fully lift the playfield up.

SOME UNITS HAVE LOCKING BOLTS OR PINS

Sensor Layout
The playfield uses 3 different styles of sensors mounted in different rotations depending on where the sensor is mounted.
GF2040X, GF2039X, and GF2041X. The picture below shows the proper order and rotation of each sensor board. You can use
the same style of sensor at any location. When the game is first powered on, each sensor will numerate itself to the location it
is installed. As each sensor numerates, the color of the fish bowl (on top) will change to green. This indicates that the sensor
has assigned itself an ID number for its location and then it will transmit this ID number to the game. This is displayed in the
“Balls left” display on the control panel. When the game completes this process it will begin it’s attract mode and await for
coinage to start. If this process doesn’t complete the last reported sensor ID will be displayed on the “Balls left” display.
See “Rotary Diagnostic Modes, mode 7” for trouble shooting information.

Serial Debug Port
Game Port Diagnostic Connection:
To use the Port Diagnostic connection you must connect an additional cable that provides a standard serial port connection to a PC.
The part number is GF2098LX. The computer must have a serial port and a terminal program installed before using this feature.
You can download free terminal software from the internet if you do not have a terminal program already installed on your computer. The program “Putty” from www.putty.org can be downloaded for free and is a good terminal program to use. You will also
need to obtain a RS232 serial cable to go between your computer’s serial port and the game’s serial port. If the computer has no
serial ports, the use of a serial to USB device is recommended.
The game’s serial port is located on the main board at J29, right of the CPU sub board. You will need to order ICE part number
GF2098LX serial interface cable in order to attach a standard RS232 serial cable from you. Once the serial cable is connected
launch your terminal program and configure the software to use a serial connection. The baud rate is 115200 kbs and uses 8 bits
with no parity bit with 1 stop bit.
Once the connection is established you will see numbers and letters being displayed as the game is being played. The following list
defines the meaning of those letters and numbers.
When a “B” is displayed this means it is a start of a game. A “D” is displayed when the “Ball Dispense Switch” has been made and a
ball has been dispensed. A “S” followed by numbers in this format “##.#” means “##.” is the score board number and “.#” is the
score sensor number. If a “C” is displayed then the game detected a cheat attempt and tilted the game. A “G” means “Give Balls”
and turn on the Ball Dispense Motor. Anytime a “E” is shown means that the ball timeout occurred and the ball count left to play is
reduced. A “V”
means game
over.

J29 serial connection
for GF2098LX.

Rotary Diagnostic Modes

Located on the main board is a rotary switch. A small triangle points to numbered position. This is normally 0 and is the standard
game mode position. Turning this will run different tests. The score display will display a “C” followed by the diagnostic mode
number. The exception to this is position 6. To exit out of at any of these modes simply rotate the switch back to the 0 position.

Position 1 [Color Lock] : This mode will stop the game after sensor board enumeration so that you can see the colors that the
sensor board has displayed. This mode can only be enabled during power up sequence.
Position 2 [Test Holes Dark] : This mode allows you to throw balls onto the playfield. The bowls for each board shall light up
green if that board has sensed a ball. A time out will occur if no other ball has been sensed returning the bowl(s) to dark state
again. If however a second sense for the same hole has occurred before the timeout, then RED shall be displayed for that board.
Since there is not a correlation of holes to lights all the boards bowls will light regardless of which sensor on that board was the
culprit. If physically 2 balls enter the same hole before the timeout, than the board will light RED even though that is a valid condition. It is up to the operator to determine if the red is legitimate or not. The last RED bowl shall be indicated by the target score
display of xxyy with xx = board ID, yy = sensor number. Valid board ID's are 1-25, and Sensor ID's are 1-5.
Position 3 [Test Hole Light] : This mode is the same as the mode above, only instead of the bowls being off and turning red or
green, they are white turning red or green as appropriate.
Position 4 [Test Playfield Lights] : This mode will turn on the bowl lights in and RGB fashion to determine if one or more colors
are not working for a specific bowl. The colors are Red, than both Red and Green, and finally Red, Green, and Blue all together.
The ball display will show which light it is that is currently being changed.
Position 5 [Cheat Sensor] : This will light the Bonus Tickets light based on the state of the cheat sensor. If the cheat sensor is
clear (not blocked) then the light will be on, if blocked the light will be off.
Position 6 [Burn in] : This mode is similar to attract with the addition of all the segments displaying 0-9 cycling, and the appropriate game balls will attempt to dispense each cycle of the numbers and Audio will cycle
Position 7 [Board ID] : This mode will cycle the board ID of 1-25 and send the command to that board to light the LED's. The ball
display will show which ID it is lighting. Should a board have the wrong enumeration, this should allow that to be identified. Board ID is the only mode that will exit enumeration mode early, this allows you to identify which board(s) are not functioning appropriately. Remember that you need to let the enumeration process stop before selecting this or you will stop the enumeration
mode early and unknown results may occur.
