4.7 Metering
4.7.1 - General
The “Starpoint Electronic Counter” or SEC is an electronic counter designed to replace all
traditional mechanical meters used in a gaming machine. For the Horizon cabinet the SEC is
located on the top right hand side and in the case of the Triple 7 cabinet it is above the
payout shelf behind a Perspex cover.
The main features are:
•
The “SEC” replaces up to 31 mechanical meters with individual counters stored
electronically in EEPROM within the unit.
•
It is fitted with a 7 digit Liquid Crystal Display to show the contents of these counters.
•
The host machine controls the display of the various meters and text to explain which
meter is being shown.
•
The electronic meter uses the existing mechanical “Meters” port on the MPU6 to
interface to the machine.
•
The SEC interfaces to the host machine using secure protocol to reduce the risk of
tampering.
4.7.2 - Information Display
The host machine controls the display and contents of each meter in sequence on the
meters LCD.
Prior to showing each counter the meter will display the associated text message associated
with that store for a short period of time.
On machines fitted with an alphanumeric display the meter readings will be duplicated on this
upon opening one of the doors. For the triple 7 please refer to the machine manual.
