Radio Frequency (RF)
GameTech International, Inc.
Overview
Overview
With radio frequency (RF), TED® and/or TED2C™ users can enjoy the advantages of playing with wireless electronics. Depending on the mode being used, users can enjoy from a
fully automatic mode of play which does all the daubing, game and session changes to a
game change only mode which notifies the unit of game and session changes only and
requires the user to manually daub numbers.
Modes of Operation
There are five modes of operation available with an RF installation as listed below however, it is the responsibility of the technician to be aware of any jurisdictional or state laws
governing the use of RF and, which method is approved in their jurisdiction.
The following information is the same or similar regardless of which mode of operation is
being used. More specific information pertaining to the specific modes follow.
In all modes of operation...(Exception: Game Change Only.)
•
the units will enter sleep mode when left inactive for a period of time.
(Exception: Fully Automatic mode.)
•
players can CHOOSE to manually enter numbers in all modes of operation and they
will be accepted by the TED® and/or TED2C™ units. (This is enabled by the customer through a menu option.)
Note: Numbers MUST be entered manually if the RF signal has been lost.
•
the unit displays “Bingo Pending” after it has received the RF signal and will bingo
after the customer has pressed enter.
•
Exception: In the Fully Automatic mode this will be the case only if the customer has chosen to enter numbers manually.
•
Exception: In the Manual Daub #3 Mode units can bingo on manually entered
numbers.
•
if the TED® and/or the TED2C™ unit is on the wrong game or session, it is corrected
automatically when the next RF signal is received.
•
in addition to game information, the RF signal sends out session information. This
supports halls selling more than one session at a time.
•
the units will display “RF MODE,” ball-calls (in the order received), number of
cards and number away on the main screen.
Radio Frequency (RF)
Overview
GameTech International, Inc.
1) Fully Automatic
In the fully automatic mode, everything is done automatically without user intervention.
•
Ball calls, game numbers, patterns and session information is sent and received
by the TED® and/or TED2C™ unit each time a signal is received.
•
The TED® and/or TED2C™ units will not enter sleep mode or shut off when using
the fully automatic mode.
2) Manual Daub #1
In the manual daub #1 mode, the enter button must be pressed to daub cards.
•
Pressing enter will catch the player up to all ball calls, game, and session information should the player not press enter each time.
•
Incorrect manual entries are corrected when the next RF signal is received.
3) Manual Daub #2
In the manual daub #2 mode, the enter button will daub ONE NUMBER at a time only.
•
Pressing enter a second time will daub numbers in the order they were called.
•
If the customer misses the last five ball calls, enter would have to pressed five
times to catch up. The player will be able to see what numbers are missing by going
to the units’ flashboard.
•
Incorrect manual entries are corrected when the next RF signal is received.
4) Manual Daub #3
In the manual daub #3 mode, the enter button will daub ONE NUMBER at a time only.
•
Pressing enter a second time will daub numbers in the order they were called.
•
If the customer misses the last five ball calls, enter would have to pressed five
times to catch up. The player will be able to see what numbers are missing by going
to the units’ flashboard.
•
Units can bingo on manually entered numbers.
5) Game Change Only
In the game change only mode, the only RF information received is when the caller
changes the game or session.
Radio Frequency (RF)
GameTech International, Inc.
RF Signals
RF Signals
The following information pertains specifically to RF signals received by the TED® and/or
TED2C™ units.
•
The single frequency RF system utilizes frequencies at 915 MHz ISM (Instrumentation, Scientific, Medical) band. The RF energy in this band acts more like light
instead of radio waves and this ultra high frequency RF energy will bounce off
walls and can be absorbed or blocked by human bodies or obstructions.
Attention: As a general rule, each RF TED ® and/or TED2 C™ needs to be able to “see” at least two transmitters to avoid dead spots.
Note: Dead Spots: In certain situations when RF energy bounces off objects, the two signals, called the
incident and the reflected, can reach a receiver (i.e. TED®/TED 2C™) at the same time. This phenomenon is
called “multi-path.” When the reflected wave is 180 degrees out of phase with the incident wave, the two
signals can cancel and produce a “dead spot.” It is for this reason that multiple transmitters are used.
•
The TED® and/or TED2C™ units play automatically as soon as the Caller advances
to game one.
•
Cell phones have no effect on GTI RF units.
•
Players are notified when the TED® and/or TED2C™ unit receives a signal. This
assures the customer that the unit is receiving.
•
If a unit looses the RF signal (for 10 seconds (not adjustable)) it has a visual flashing message displaying “Manual Entry Required for Last Ball” and an audio alarm
requiring customer acknowledgement. “RF MODE” will not display.
•
If a unit alarms and then the alarm stops, it is again receiving a signal.
•
If any key is pressed while the unit is alarming, it will go into manual mode
and ball calls can be entered manually. Once the signal resumes, it will go back
into RF mode.
•
When a unit is voided, the RF signal ensures all cards are erased.
•
If the TED® and/or the TED2C™ are missing, a locate feature on the POS will make
the unit beep until it has been located and a button on the unit is pressed.
•
The unit will display status information to the player such as cards getting close to a
bingo and how many numbers they are away from a bingo.

Operational Information
Operational Information
The following list explains some of the additional features of RF play.
•
RF TED® and TED2C™ units are marked as RF capable on the case. In addition, RF
TED® units are two-tone colored and all TED2C™ units are marked as RF capable.
Note: Although TED® and TED2C™ units are RF capable, they may be used in a non-RF hall.
•
•
Supported Games:
•
Callers Choice
•
Hard Luck (for progressive games).
•
Play with Paper
•
Speed Games (With two-second ball calls as required by some jurisdictions.)
When games come up in a session that the player has not purchased cards for, the
electronics will display “No cards” or “No cards for this Game” depending on
whether the unit is a TED® or TED2C. (Based on available display space.)
How it Works
•
The Diamond master provides information to the 1Base Station Controller (BSC)
via a 9-Pin RS-232 connection...(The master must have a working com port.)
•
the Base Station Controller (BSC) provides information to the transmitters via a
CAT5 cable connection...
Note: The transmitters also receive power from the Base Station Controller.
•
the Transmitters (XMTR) (usually four) provide information to the TED® and/or
TED2C™ units via an RF signal which loops three times per second.
Note: Currently this is a one-way communication. When two-way has completed development, the TED®
and/or TED 2 C™ unit will be able to communicate information back to the Diamond™ system via an RF
signal. The CAT5 cable provides bidirectional communication and power from the BSC to the XMTRs.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including

System Installation
System Installation
Required Hardware
The GameTech 900 MHz RF TED® and TED2C™ system contains three basic components
as follows:
Base Station Controller (BSC)
The BSC should be installed within close proximity of the ball call PC (up to 25’) and
within 6’ of an AC power plug.
Note: The BSC should remain within easy access. If transmission problems occur, a reset may be required.
Radio Frequency (RF)

System Installation
GameTech International, Inc.
Transmitters (XMTR)
•
There are four transmitters that should be strategically placed around the hall to
ensure full line of sight coverage from at least two transmitters to the TED® units
over the entire playing floor. (Range: 100’ radius, 200’ diameter.)
•
The XMTRs can be placed right-side up or upside down but, the antenna must be
perpendicular to the floor for maximum coverage over the playing area.
•
The CAT5 cables should be routed from each XMTR to the BSC and connected to
ensure a clean installation.

RF Test Tools
Suitability of a hall is determined by two factors: Interference and Coverage. Engineering
has developed two tools to help in the evaluation of the hall, a Signal Strength Meter
(SSM) and a Standalone Battery Powered Transmitter. (Contact your supervisor to obtain
the RF testing tools if you are required to do a site survey, part numbers are listed below. )

Signal Strength Meter (SSM)
One tool is the handheld RF Signal Strength Meter (SSM) as pictured in Figure 3. The
SSM is battery powered (9V) and activated by a push button switch located on the side of
the unit and is tuned to the same frequency used by the system. The SSM uses the same
receiver that is used in the TED® and TED2C™ units to receive the RF signals and, has
seven light emitting diodes (LED) located on the front. The LED’s give a visual bar-graph
indication similar to that of a volume indicator on the front of a modern stereo to communicate the strength of the signal to the user. There are four green, one yellow and two red
LED’s located from top to bottom.

Standalone Battery-Powered Transmitter
The other tool is the standalone battery powered transmitter as shown in Figure 4. This tool
is used to generate an RF signal to help in the measurement of signal coverage in the hall.
The standalone transmitter also uses one external 9V battery (with a special harness) and
will operate for several hours while the tests are conducted.

Paper Survey
Use the site survey form to begin the evaluation of RF in a bingo operation. Diagraming the
hall is an important step to lay out the necessary testing areas. Figure 5 provides a sample
hall on which to base your diagram. If the hall has more than one room, each room will
need to be diagramed individually. Create an architectural diagram of the hall using the
graph paper located in the site survey form.
Note: RF site surveys must be performed or approved by a Field Supervisor.

Diagramming a Hall
•
Print the site survey form.
•
Measure the room(s) in the hall.
•
Locate where the master computer is placed. The Base Station Controller (BSC)
needs to be located within a 25 ft. cable length of it.
•
Once the location of the BSC is determined, the optimum placement of the transmitters and routing of the CAT5 cables from the BSC to each transmitter needs to
be determined. Each transmitter can cover a circular area with a radius of about
100 feet (200’ diameter). Use the site survey form to assist in the placement.
•
Using the site survey form to create a diagram, cut out four circles representing the
100’ radius of the transmitters. Adhere to the rule that each location on the floor
must be able to see at least two transmitters. The sample hall in Figure 5 displays
the radiation patterns of each respective transmitter. (The scale of the drawing has
been reduced for this document.)
•
The transmitters are represented by the small squares down the center line of the
hall. Ceiling mounting is highly recommended because it keeps the signal from
being blocked by player's bodies and the height gives the best overall coverage for
each transmitter.
Interference Signals
When walking through the hall with all equipment (computers, etc.) turned on and no
active transmitters, only the bottom red LED on the SSM should be illuminated when the
power switch is pressed. Noise or other insignificant signals may cause the second red
LED to flash randomly. If a constant yellow or green illumination is present, the source of
the interfering signal must be determined and considered.
Examples of Possible Interferences:
-Wireless Gaming Devices
-Cell Phones
-Wireless microphones
-Walkie Talkies
-Cordless Phones
-Radios
Location and Isolation of Interferences:
When walking through the hall and interference is picked up, attempt to locate the item(s)
either visually or by asking persons in the area. If the signal is too strong and cannot be
moved in frequency or eliminated, it may disqualify the hall from using as an RF system.

System Installation
Coverage
•
Position the standalone battery-powered transmitters in locations determined by the
paper survey.
•
The SSM is then used to determine the adequacy of coverage of the transmitter
placement.
•
•
With the system active at least one green LED should illuminate in all locations
within the circle defined by the paper survey. Remember with one transmitter
only, you may see the "dead spots" from location to location as you move
through the area. This is normal. The SSM's receiver is calibrated to respond
like those in the TED® and TED2C™.
•
One green LED illuminated is sufficient signal for essentially error free data
transmission. When the entire system is installed it's expected for the top green
LEDs to blink during normal system operation. Each transmitter is turned on
sequentially by the BSC. No two transmitters are ever on at the same time.
Consequently, the signal strength indicated by the green LEDs will vary causing the top LEDs to blink on and off at the scan rate of the system. This phenomenon is caused by the SSM picking up transmitters close by (large signal)
and those farther away (small signal).
If the signal strength, as indicated by the SSM, is adequate throughout the hall, the
hall can be considered a good candidate for the RF system.

Technician Questions
Technician Questions
Q: How long will the battery on the SSM lasts?
A: Quite a long time since it is activated only when the button is pushed and the
button is momentary.
Q: Any special way that the SSM should be held while performing tests?
A: With antenna straight up is best.
Q: Where should the BPT be placed? Is on top of a bingo table close enough when the real
unit will go in the same location just 20 feet higher? Does it need to be exactly where the
other transmitter will go?
A: Without people in the room, just on a table or maybe a 6' step ladder. People
make the biggest difference in signal propagation.
Q: How long should the tech stop in each location to ensure that they are getting a good
signal? How many locations should they check for signal at?
A: They should go to the extremes of the hall (corners) and then down the center
stopping for 5 to 10 seconds at each location about 20' feet apart. With a single BPT
when they stop they should move the SSM around for the best signal. With one
BPT there will be dead spots during this test.
Q: Can we assume that the hall will be empty when the test is done? Do we care?
A: Only if the BPT is on the ground level and if there are a few bodies around it
probably won't be a big deal.
Q: How do you know when the battery is dead on the BPT?
A: There are two LEDs on the BPT, a Green and Red. The Green LED indicates
power and is always on when there is power applied. The Red one blinks at a 1 second rate when transmitting (transmission is constant even though the LED blinks).
When the Red LED stops blinking the Green one is dim it is time to change the battery. A typical 9V alkaline battery has a capacity of about 590 mAH so the BPT
should easily last at least 12-15 hours if left on continuously.

Technician Questions
GameTech International, Inc.
Q: In the “Interference” information, what are some examples of devices that may interfere
(cordless phones, walkie talkies, etc.)? Possibly other wireless gaming devices?
A: You hit on two of the biggies. Wireless microphones are another potential
source. At the BETA hall we experimented with both a cordless phone and the
Wireless mic and neither caused any problems. There is currently no data on other
wireless gaming devices like the Fortunet system. Some Commercial Power companies use 928 MHz for their SCADA (System Control And Data Acquisition) systems and communicate with their substations with it. This is a very remote
possibility for interference.
Q: In the “Coverage” information, is there any special way that they need to mount the
BPT when doing the test? Height, location, antenna direction, etc.
A: At the BETA hall, the XMTRs were mounted upside down attached to the ceiling framework. Learning from that experience each XMTR enclosure now has a
small slot cut in the bottom to accommodate a tie wrap mount technique.
