Check Cabinet Wiring

Your cabinet must be properly wired and grounded to ensure safety and proper operation. Check all connections and ground wires. Symptoms of inadequate grounding may include loss of trackball, coin input problems, and the computer freezing. It is a good practice to purchase an AC Outlet Circuit Tester from a hardware store, and follow the manufacturer's instructions to check the cabinet power strip and your wall outlet for proper grounding and polarity.

For cabinets with the Style A power plate, as shown in Figure 1, perform the steps that follow to check the connections on the AC power plate, and add a ground

ground lug (as required). These steps will help to ensure that grounding is adequate for the coin mech and trackball.

Figure 2. Power Plate Connections

a. Install a 2 1/2' ground wire to the lug on the right of the EMI filter, as shown in Figure 2. Use a

#8-32 kep nut to secure it in place. Secure the nut tightly.

b. Connect the other end of the wire to the ground lug on the coin vault (coin box). Use a #8-32

kep nut to connect the ground wire on top of the other ground wires, as shown in Figure 3. Secure the nut tightly.

c. Confirm the following wires are connected to the coin vault ground lug:

• One wire from coin vault to coin door

• One wire from coin vault to trackball

Important: All ground wires must be secured tightly!

6. If you have a SmartCard Dispenser Kit, install it now, following the instructions in the kit.

Install the Software

Note: You may wish to install the cabinet artwork while the software installation is running.

Follow the instructions below to install the EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR® Golf Challenge Edition software. Please be aware that installation will erase all tournament data and cabinet settings. Total installation time is about 25 minutes.

1. Important: Test all game controls (buttons and trackball), coin mechs, and the dollar bill validator (DBV) to verify proper operation before beginning the software installation.

2. With the cabinet powered ON and the game running, press the Operator button to launch the Operator Menu.

3. From the Operator Menu, record any cabinet settings that you wish to restore after software installation. For your convenience, you can write your settings below:

Machine Menu: Sound Effects Volume __________ Announcer Volume __________ Attract Mode Sound __________ Game Mode Menu: Credit Display __________ Coins per $ _____ 3-Stroke/Skins _____ 9-Stoke/Skins _____ 18-Stroke/Skins _____ Shootout _____ Mulligans _____ 9-Hole National Tournament _____ 18-Hole National Tournament _____ Skill Level __________ Delay of Game Timeout _____ Game Timeout Delay On _____

4. To preserve your tournament data for the cabinet, perform the following steps:

Install the Software

a. From the Coin Collection menu, perform a Do Collection. b. From the Registration Options menu, perform a Force Call.

EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR Page 8 of 14 040-0068-01 Rev B 1/12/2006

Golf Challenge Edition Upgrade Kit

Change the Dollar Bill Validator Wiring (if Required)

If your system computer has a Nytric Version 1.4 card installed (Nytric version is displayed on the Machine Menu screen in the Operator Menu), and the dollar bill validator (DBV) does not register inputs with the new software, you will need to make the following adjustment:

1. Locate the white wire that is connected to the coin mechs. Trace the wire; it will pass through a shrink tube. Locate the white wire where it comes out of the shrink tube. Loosen the wire from cable ties as necessary to give you some slack to work with.

2. Locate the two yellow wires from the DBV connector. Trace the wires to where they are buttspliced to a white, and a black-white wire, respectively.

3. Cut the yellow wire that is spliced to the white wire, just below the butt splice. (This wire connects to Pin 7 of the 9-pin DBV connector.)

4. Splice the cut yellow wire into the white wire from the coin mechs, below the shrink tube (this is the wire that you traced in step 1).

Important: Use electrical tape as needed to make sure the splice is well insulated. If the wires short against metal they will cause coin inputs to register.

The figure below shows a suggested method of splicing the wires using a quick-connect splicer.

5. Test the DBV and coin mechs following this procedure to verify proper operation.

Install the Cabinet Artwork

Note: If you are upgrading a Conversion Cabinet, refer to the section at the bottom of this page for instructions on adjusting the artwork to fit.

Figure 7. Installing New Cabinet Artwork

1. Remove the four (4) Torx screws holding the top marquee retainer in place and remove the retainer.

2. Tilt the marquee glass forward and remove the old artwork.

3. Insert the new marquee artwork. Make sure the artwork is centered and flush with the bottom of the glass.

Note: If the marquee curls when you try to install it, you may wish to use clear plastic tape to hold it in place while you mount the glass.

4. Replace the top marquee retainer, and secure it with the screws removed previously.

5. Remove the eight (8) screws that secure the speaker and sub-marquee panel in place.

6. Remove the old sub-marquee artwork and replace it with the new artwork.

7. Replace sub-marquee panel, and secure it with the screws removed previously.

Adjusting Artwork for Conversion Cabinets

Conversion cabinet marquees and sub-marquees require trimming the graphics as follows to make them fit the cabinet:

• Trim the sides of the marquee graphic along the printed tick marks.

• Trim the black areas from the top and bottom of the "Accept the Challenge" sub-marquee

graphic.
