Safety
Please read this page before preparing your arcade cabinet for game play.
The following safety instructions apply to all game operators and service personnel. Specific
warnings and cautions will be included throughout this manual.
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect the system from potential damage and to
ensure your personal safety:
• Make sure that the switch on the back of the computer is set to match the AC power in
use at your location:
115 volts / 60Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries
such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan
230 volts / 50Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system into a properly grounded power source.
The cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension
cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• To help protect your system from sudden increases and decreases in electrical power, use
a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
• Be sure nothing rests on the system's cables and that the cables are not located where they
can be stepped on or tripped over.
• Do not spill food or liquid on the cabinet.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of the system—doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Keep your system far away from radiators and other heat sources.
• Do not block cooling vents.
Warnings
To avoid electrical shock, unplug the cabinet before performing the
installation procedures.

Replace the Monitor (Optional)
Note: Do Not use the Universal Video Controller (UVC) board with the Wells Gardner®
monitor.
If you have the Monitor Upgrade Kit, perform the steps in this section to remove the old
monitor and install the 27-inch Wells-Gardner® monitor.
Remove the Old Monitor
1. Open the service shelf, and remove the glass display shield and monitor bezel.
2. Disconnect ALL wiring from the back of the monitor. Make sure that no wires still
connected to the monitor are tied to the cabinet.
3. Remove the four (4) monitor retaining nuts and washers and save them for reinstallation.
4. Remove the monitor from the cabinet. It is advisable to have at least two people to
support the weight of the monitor.
5. Proceed to the next section and install the new monitor.
Adapt the Cabinet for the Larger Monitor
If your cabinet already had a 27-inch monitor, you should be able to proceed to the next
section and install the monitor.
If your cabinet had a 25-inch monitor, refer to the figure that follows, and perform the
following steps to adapt the cabinet hardware for the larger, 27-inch Wells-Gardner®
monitor:
1. Note the positioning of the lower monitor bracket to aid in reinstallation. Remove the
nuts and bolts that secure the lower monitor bracket to the cabinet. Remove the bracket
and save it for reinstallation. Perform the following steps to drill new bolt holes for the
bracket to relocate it for the larger monitor.
2. Refer to the figure below and mark straight lines, as shown, through the center of the two
sets of bolt holes and about 2" below. Drill two ¼" diameter bolt holes 1-7/16" below the
original holes, and along the same centerline. Use the template from the kit (part #:
L-0059) to aid in placing the holes.
3. The overall distance between the bolt heads on the side of the cabinet must be 20-3/4"
center-to-center in the long direction, and 1-9/16" center-to-center in the short direction.
gvrSX™ Conversion System Manual

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion
Install the New Monitor
1. Refer to the picture below and make sure that the monitor frame of the new 27-inch
Wells-Gardner® Monitor has the holes required to mount it to the cabinet brackets. Both
the top and bottom sections of the frame must have two pairs of holes (some monitor
frames have only one pair of holes in each section). The inside pair of holes must be
centered on the bracket, and measure 19-1/4" center-to-center.
2. If the monitor frame does not have the required holes, drill them in both the top and
bottom frame sections as follows: Drill two (2) 3/8" diameter holes, centered, 19-1/4"
apart. Each of these new holes should be approximately 11/16" inboard from the existing
holes, and on the same horizontal centerline.
Caution: Avoid getting drill chips in the electronic components.
CAUTION: The monitor is very heavy. Monitor installation requires at least two
people. It is best to have a third person handling the monitor frame from inside the
cabinet back door. It is easy to catch fingers between the monitor frame and cabinet.
3. To install the monitor, first install the lower edge of the monitor onto the lower bracket
studs, and then rotate the monitor downwards to catch on the upper bracket studs. This
will require at least two people. It may be best to have a third person handling the
monitor frame from inside the back door. Watch your fingers; this monitor is very heavy.

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion
4. Use the old hardware to re-attach the monitor to the cabinet bracket (four places).
5. Install the new monitor bezel.
6. Clean and replace the glass display shield.
7. Replace the small retainer tab that secures the display shield in place.
8. Mount the monitor remote control board in a convenient location in the service tray.
9. Connect the monitor ground wire to a ground lug on the cabinet.
10. If the old monitor was powered with an AC isolation transformer, remove the transformer
from the cabinet. The new monitor will connect directly to the AC power strip, to be
installed in the next section.
Install the Cabinet Exhaust Fan
An exhaust fan is required to keep the temperature inside the cabinet cool enough for the
computer to operate properly.
If you experience blank screens or rebooting issues, this could be due to excessively high
temperatures inside the cabinet. Drilling more air holes in the lower rear of the cabinet, as
described in step 1 below, should improve airflow and reduce cabinet temperatures.
Perform the following steps to install the exhaust fan and drill air holes:
1. Using a 1/2" drill bit, drill six to eight air holes in the lower rear of the cabinet, as shown
in Figure 1. Be careful not to damage any wires or components while drilling.
6-8 1/2" Air Holes
Place low in cabinet. Position so as to
avoid drilling into wires or components.
Figure 1. Drilling Cabinet Air Holes
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the metal or plastic grill covers that cover the ventilation
slots on the back of your cabinet. Push in on each corner of the metal grill and they will
pop out and fall to the bottom of the cabinet.

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion
3. Install the exhaust fan behind the ventilation slot, just above the rear cabinet door, as
shown by the arrow in the picture below.
4. Place the exhaust fan on the outside of the ventilation slots and use the mounting holes in
the fan as a template to drill the mounting holes. Use an 11/64" drill bit to drill the four
mounting holes for the exhaust fan.
5. Place the fan on the inside of the cabinet so that it will blow air out of the cabinet. Use
the 8-32 x 2 inch screws with nuts to secure the fan to the cabinet, as shown in the picture
above.
6. Plug the fan into the AC power strip inside the cabinet, and verify that the fan blows air
out of the cabinet.

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion
Set Up the Hardware
Set Up AC Power Distribution
You must install the AC power strip/surge suppressor from the kit to provide power to the
computer, new monitor (if installed), and ventilation fan.
The actual wiring will vary depending on which cabinet you are converting. Use the
instructions that follow as a general guideline for setting up AC power distribution.
1. Locate the AC power panel inside the cabinet. The panel is usually the distributing point
for all of the AC power lines inside the cabinet. If the panel is on the floor of the cabinet,
you will need to move it to one of the side walls to make enough room to secure the
computer to the bottom of the cabinet.
2. Disconnect the two AC power lines and the ground wire that connect to the ON/OFF
switch on the AC power panel, as shown by the arrows in the picture above.
3. Strip these three wires and connect them to the AC power cord from the kit, using the
wire crimps provided. (You will be plugging this power cord into the power strip.)
4. Connect the power and ground wires from AC power strip to the three connectors on the
ON/OFF switch where you removed the wires in step 2, as shown by the arrow in the
picture above.
5. Plug the AC power cord you spliced in step 3 into the AC power strip. All cabinet AC
power should now be routed through the power strip.
