The Hobbit Menu System B-18
Pop-Up Mechanisms Test
When you enter the Pop-Up Mechanisms Test , the LCD monitor will display the screen shown in
figure B18. The rectangles on the screen represent the current states of the four pop-up mecha-
nisms, in the center area of the playfield. A light tan rectangle represents a pop-up mechanism in
the raised position (above playfield level); a dark tan rectangle represents a pop-up mechanism in
the lowered position (below playfield level); a red rectangle represents a "broken" pop-up
mechanism (it failed to respond to several attempts to raise it). For reference, corresponding coil
numbers and matrixed switch numbers are shown under each rectangle. Green text indicates the
coil or switch is active; white text indicates that the coil or switch is inactive.
You can use the
Enter
button to toggle the position (raised or lowered) of each pop-up mechanism.
When you raise a pop-up mechanism, a new rectangle appears on top of the first one. This
rectangle turns blue when the pop-up's hit switch (behind the face) is closed; when the switch is
open, the rectangle remains transparent.
Note: When the coin door is opened, the game’s safety interlock switch (the upper switch on item
14, page C-2 of this manual) disables the 70-volt power running to the playfield. To allow coils to
function in the Pop-Up Mechanisms Test , you must either close the coin door or pull the safety
interlock switch’s actuator out (it will “click” and lock in place). When you close the coin door, the
interlock switch actuator will be pushed back into its normal (unlocked) position.
To exit the Pop-Up Mechanisms Test at any time, press the Back/Escape button.
