follows the reel, there is a chance that the reel motor is defective. If it stays in one place,
there is a good chance there is a loose connector. Turn off all power before you go
plugging and unplugging connectors. Specifically check the connectors on the mother
board on the back inside of the machine. On rare occasions, the CPU Board may have
a problem.
A “50" code means the door closed optics are not making i.e. the door is open.
Unlike the model 5500, you can not simulate a door closure by pulling the door interlock.
A “52" code indicates that the cash can is not properly seated or the stacker door is not
closed.
“70" code errors are normally caused by someone accidently hitting a reel while
trying to clear a jam. Open and close the door and the fault should clear.
The most common of the 80 codes is 81 low battery. You will get this every couple
years if you are not using the machine continuously. It can be cleared by replacing the
battery on the CPU board. If your board has a Lithium Battery soldered on the board you
can either replace it with another Lithium Battery or remove the old battery and replace it
with a battery holder that holds 2 inexpensive AA cells. You can either obtain the
conversion kit from your dealer or fabricate one your self. It is essential that proper
polarity be maintained.
Sometimes the machine will fail to work and will not indicate anything. If you are
lucky, you accidently turned off the Bill Validator and coin mech by having the coin mech
switch on the front of the CPU tray in the down (off) position. If the Lights are on but
nothing shows on the front door, No error codes no insert coin, nothing, the most
common cause is the main power supply. This assembly, located behind the hopper in
the lower center of the back cabinet, is easily removed for service, but must be returned
to your dealer for exchange.
On rare occasions, your machine will “Lock Up” and start playing the “Happy
Music”, We’re in the Money... This happens when ever a Jackpot or Payout is hit that is
over the max coins amount set in the machine. To release the machine a casino calls
some one to write out a Check or Hand Pay the Jackpot. He then takes out his Jackpot
reset key, inserts it into the top key hole on the right hand side of the machine, turns it
clockwise, releases it and takes the key out. The music will then stop and the insert coin
light will come back on allowing you to resume play. The keys that came with your
machine include a Jackpot Reset Key. You can use it to do your “Hand Pay” and release
the machine. One word of caution. Yes this is the exact same key used by many Casino
Employees for this purpose.
Casino security takes a very dim view of customers
putting keys in their machines to release Jackpots or read internal registers or
perform diagnostics. Leave the keys at home.
