Testing:
When power is applied to the game, the game will perform a clown test. If any clown lights
“
Red
”,
you need to note which clown it is and check the sensor associated with it. If a clown lights green it
is good. After the clown test, the game will go into attract mode and all clowns will not stay these
colors.
To identify that an issue was detected with the clowns, the arrow board will go to the second highest
setting, which should be easily identifiable from a distance. Power cycle the game to see which
clown or clowns are bad or preform a test below.
In order to enter the

the select button will enter the test mode. Press the
“

tests. The test number will be displayed on the back display. When it displays the test number you
wish to preform, press the
“

button. Pressing the

button will exit the test, unless
you are in Test 5 which requires a power cycle once you finish with the test.
Test 1
“
Clown Fire
”
–
this test will raise each clown up to see if it sees the sensor. At start, the clown will be
Blue. The solenoid fires and if the sensor changes state, the clown turns green. If the sensor
doesn

t change state, the clown goes Red. However, this does not determine if the sensor is
properly set, only that it has not changed from +5 VDC to 0 VDC back to +5 VDC.

RGB Test

Each clown will change color from blue to green and then to red. This is used to test
the RGB LEDS of the clowns, side RGB LEDs and also the top RGB LEDs.
