close the console lid..
3. SWITCH ERRORS: Lower tray limit switch: There is one spring contact switch for the tray
table (there is a time window of 11 seconds for contact closure before game generates an
error). The position of the switch is counter-intuitive, the switch located at the top of the
list mechanism and reads the lower-limit (tray down position). Check the connection on
switch and harness, check with a meter that contact closure works. Adjustment of switch
mounting may be required.
4. OPTICAL SENSORS: There is a sensor for the trough on the hopper side of the wall that has
a dual purpose. To detect if there are too many rings on that side of the wall and in as a
safety measure to avoid injury should someone reach too far into the trough. In both cases
the game will stop the hopper immediately until that condition is cleared, then resumes
game play. To check sensors, go to the I/O section in the diagnostics menu. Status of the
sensors is displayed live.
5. NO CONNECTION TO SERVER: The Pi board is unable to communicate with the camera.
Make sure the RJ-45 cable and USB cable are plugged in at the camera and at the Pi board
(no USB port is preferred over any other, but it needs to be plugged into one).
CAMERA CALIBRATION PROBLEMS: If the machine is having trouble detecting rings on the
bottles, the camera may not be calibrated correctly. To check this, enter the menu, select
DIAGNOSTICS, and then select CALIBRATE CAMERA. You will see a screen similar to the one on
the next page,
You want to be sure that the black outlines of the first and last bottles in the odd rows are
surrounding the actual bottles. If they are not, you can loosen the screws securing the camera
assembly and move the camera so that it is correctly aligned. Then you can press the menu
button to recalibrate the camera.
