Faults and Errors:
To ensure top performance and earnings this game features a power on diagnostics. As power is
applied to the game it will display the software revision number on the right display located on the
play field. It will also display the required amount of coins to start a game but on the left display.
Then the game will check to see if any of the score sensors and ball sensors are faulty This is done
first by turning them on. If any are blocked, the playfield will display “ERR” and “ON”. The faulty
sensor will have the opposite LED on or if the ball sensors are bad that LED strip will be on. After
this test, the game will engage the solenoid which releases the ball and turns the blower on. Then
all Sensors are turned on until the ball drops down blocking each sensor. If a sensor is bad, the
LED opposite will be on. If the ball sensor is bad, the LED strip will be on. When the last sensor is
blocked by the ball, the solenoid will catch the ball, then blower will stop and the game will enter
game mode and accept coins. If any errors are encountered during the power on diagnostics, the
game will stop at that failure until it is repaired.
See diagrams below for examples.
This is a example of the on test. When the game
attempts turn on all sensors and one fails to turn on
or is blocked, it will light the LED that corresponds
to that sensor. The game will not start until the error
is corrected. This test is preformed before the ball is
launched.
This is a example of the off test. When the ball is
launched it will pass by each of the sensors. When
the ball passes through the array each of the LED’s
will turn off as the sensor is blocked by the ball. Any
sensors that are still on will trigger a off error code
and halt the startup of the game. If the ball doesn’t
launch, the game will also display this error and show
all LED including the upper and lower LED strips.
