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.

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion

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 Page 10 of 48 040-0050-01 Rev. A 10/29/2004

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion

4. Repeat the previous two steps to drill bolt holes in the other side of the cabinet.

5. Align the lower monitor bracket with the new bolt holes and bolt it in place using the nuts

and bolts removed previously.

040-0050-01 Rev. A 10/29/2004 Page 11 of 48

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.

gvrSX™ Conversion System Manual Page 12 of 48 040-0050-01 Rev. A 10/29/2004

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.

040-0050-01 Rev. A 10/29/2004 Page 13 of 48

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.

gvrSX™ Conversion System Manual Page 14 of 48 040-0050-01 Rev. A 10/29/2004

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.

, INC.

040-0050-01 Rev. A 10/29/2004 Page 15 of 48

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion

6. Some older cabinets with CGA monitors have an AC isolation transformer that is used to power the monitor. These are often bulky, heavy transformers that take up most of the space on the bottom of the cabinet, and they cannot be removed unless you replace the monitor. If you connect a monitor that requires an AC isolation transformer directly into an AC power source, you will damage the PCB chassis on the monitor.

7. If your cabinet has an AC isolation transformer for the monitor, find the AC power lines that power the AC isolation transformer and splice them to an AC power cord (not provided in the kit), so you can connect this to the AC power strip. You may need to reposition the AC isolation transformer to make room to install the computer on the floor of the cabinet. (Note: The new Wells-Gardner® monitors do not use an AC isolation transformer. If you are installing this monitor, you can safely remove the transformer.)

Remove the Game PCB and Install New Hardware

Caution: Power must be off when connecting boards. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), handle PCBs by the edges only and use a grounding wrist strap or similar precaution.

1. The Conversion Kit hardware uses the existing Jamma harness wiring for speakers, video (for an existing monitor), and coin inputs. Remove the Game PCB and any other hardware from the old game, but keep the existing DC power supply and Jamma harness wiring in place.

2. Install four small plastic feet from the kit on the Jamma conversion board, and on the UVC if you are installing one.

gvrSX™ Conversion System Manual Page 16 of 48 040-0050-01 Rev. A 10/29/2004

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion

3. Set jumper J8 on the Jamma conversion board to pins 1 and 2 for stereo, or pins 1 and 3

for mono audio, depending on how your cabinet audio is set up.

4. Place the boards next to each other in the service tray where you removed the old boards.

Make sure that the Jamma connector on the Jamma wire harness can reach the Jamma Conversion Board before securing the boards to the cabinet.

5. Secure the boards with wood screws in the plastic feet.

Connect the Jamma Conversion Board and UVC

Figure 2. Typical Jamma Conversion Board and UVC Connections

Refer to the figure above, and Figure 5, Simplified Wiring Diagram, on page 43, and perform the following steps to connect the Jamma harness wiring and other cables to the Jamma Conversion Board:

1. Connect the Jamma connector from the Jamma harness to the Jamma edge on the Jamma

Conversion Board.

2. Connect the Video Input, J4 on the Jamma Conversion Board to the video output port on

the Video Converter board, if used, or to the VGA port on the computer video card.

3. Connect the existing PC power supply in the cabinet to the Jamma Conversion Board

PWR IN port using the PC Y-power cable from the kit. Note: The PC Y-power cable uses a standard PC power supply connection found on

most DC power supplies used in arcade cabinets. If your existing power supply does not have this type of connector, you will need to splice the Y-Power cable into the power supply on the cabinet. Here are the specifications for the PC Y-power cable:

• Red Wire +5 VDC

• Yellow Wire +12 VDC

• Black Wire Ground

Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion

Upgrade the Control Panel

Perform the steps in this section to upgrade the old control panel with new buttons, joystick, and graphics.

Prepare the Control Panel

1. Disconnect the wires from the buttons and other controls.

2. Remove the nuts and bolts that hold the plastic cover to the control panel surface.

3. Remove the buttons, trackball (or other controls), the clear plastic cover, and artwork from the control panel.

4. Install the joystick in the control panel using the four nuts and bolts removed from the trackball assembly. You may need to remove the handle from the joystick to install the control panel artwork and plastic cover.

Apply Control Panel Graphics

Refer to the picture of the finished control panel, Figure 4, as you place the graphics on the control panel. The exact position of each sticker will depend on the size and shape of your control panel, but the finished control panels should look like Figure 4.

Figure 4. Finished Control Panel

Note: To aid in placing graphics, spray the cabinet surfaces with soapy water or spray cleaner before applying each graphic. This allows you to reposition the graphic easily. Once you are satisfied with placement, use a squeegee to force the liquid out from under the graphic.

1. Set the background graphic over the control panel and determine placement. Once you are satisfied with the placement, peel off the backing and apply the graphic.

2. Using a new Exacto

knife, use the outside edge of the control panel as a guide to cut off

the excess control panel background graphic material.

3. Cut the excess graphic material from the button and joystick holes.
