Mount the power supply in the cabinet and
be sure there is no tension on the harness.

Option C

Connecting the Adapter to the power supply with wiring:
•
Wiring the adapter is straight forward, simply connect wires from each terminal on the power
supply (+5, +12, -5 and both GND terminals) to the tabs on the Adapter. At least 18-gauge
hookup wire is recommended for A/C power input.
Step Four: Hooking up 120 V.A.C. power to the new power supply:
Using the two provided wires, connect the two ends to the A.C. terminals. Next, connect the other
ends to the two wires feeding power to the monitor. Normally these are Black and White wires near
the monitor.
WARNING! DO NOT USE THE OUTLET in the bottom of the game. Many people have done this, and
frankly its wrong. The outlet is NOT switched on in all games, that means even if you turn the power
off from the games normal power switch, the game will still be running. Only the monitor will switch
off.
Step Five: Check your work
Now it may make perfect sense, but at this point you’ve done a lot of bending over into
your game to do this wiring, and your probably anxious to see what the heck this board
does in person. From years of experience... CHECK YOUR WORK!
Step Six: All systems go?
The power supply must be adjusted properly for your game to come up. Using a meter
with the game board and adapter connected, power it all up and check the +5 voltages,
I would recommend setting it for 5.1 VDC. Any higher risks damage to your game board.
