Sensor Layout
The playeld uses 3 dierent styles of sensors mounted in dierent rotaons depending on where the sensor is mounted.
GF2040X, GF2039X, and GF2041X. The picture below shows the proper order and rotaon of each sensor board. You can use
the same style of sensor at any locaon. When the game is rst powered on, each sensor will numerate itself to the locaon it
is installed. As each sensor numerates, the color of the sh bowl (on top) will change to green. This indicates that the sensor
has assigned itself an ID number for its locaon and then it will transmit this ID number to the game. This is displayed in the
“Balls le” display on the control panel. When the game completes this process it will begin it’s aract mode and await for
coinage to start. If this process doesn’t complete the last reported sensor ID will be displayed on the “Balls le” display.
See “Rotary Diagnosc Modes, mode 7” for trouble shoong informaon.

Serial Debug Port
Game Port Diagnosc Connecon:
To use the Port Diagnosc connecon you must connect an addional cable that provides a standard serial port connecon 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 soware from the internet if you do not have a terminal program already installed on your com-
puter. The program “Puy” from www.puy.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 aach a standard RS232 serial cable from you. Once the serial cable is connected
launch your terminal program and congure the soware to use a serial connecon. The baud rate is 115200 kbs and uses 8 bits
with no parity bit with 1 stop bit.
Once the connecon is established you will see numbers and leers being displayed as the game is being played. The following list
denes the meaning of those leers 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 aempt and lted the game. A “G” means “Give Balls”
and turn on the Ball Dispense Motor. Anyme a “E” is shown means that the ball meout occurred and the ball count le to play is
reduced. A “V” means game
over.

Rotary Diagnosc Modes
Located on the main board is a rotary switch. A small triangle points to numbered posion. This is normally 0 and is the standard
game mode posion. Turning this will run dierent tests. The score display will display a “C” followed by the diagnosc mode
number. The excepon to this is posion 6. To exit out of at any of these modes simply rotate the switch back to the 0 posion.
0
Posion 1 [Color Lock] : This mode will stop the game aer sensor board enumeraon so that you can see the colors that the
sensor board has displayed. This mode can only be enabled during power up sequence.
Posion 2 [Test Holes Dark] : This mode allows you to throw balls onto the playeld. The bowls for each board shall light up
green if that board has sensed a ball. A me 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 meout, then RED shall be displayed for that board.
Since there is not a correlaon 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 meout, than the board will light RED even though that is a valid condi-
on. It is up to the operator to determine if the red is legimate 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.
Posion 3 [Test Hole Light] : This mode is the same as the mode above, only instead of the bowls being o and turning red or
green, they are white turning red or green as appropriate.
Posion 4 [Test Playeld 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 specic bowl. The colors are Red, than both Red and Green, and nally Red, Green, and Blue all together.
The ball display will show which light it is that is currently being changed.
Posion 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 o.
Posion 6 [Burn in] : This mode is similar to aract with the addion of all the segments displaying 0-9 cycling, and the appropri-
ate game balls will aempt to dispense each cycle of the numbers and Audio will cycle
Posion 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 lighng. Should a board have the wrong enumeraon, this should allow that to be idened. -
Board ID is the only mode that will exit enumeraon mode early, this allows you to idenfy which board(s) are not funconing ap-
propriately. Remember that you need to let the enumeraon process stop before selecng this or you will stop the enumeraon
mode early and unknown results may occur.
