and experience working with arcade machines.

Do not use in life critical or applications requiring high reliability

The smartTouch Swipe is not intended for use in systems that may affect human life or that require
a very high degree of reliability such as medical equipment, nuclear facilities, aerospace
equipment or transportation equipment. Embed does not assume any liability for accidents
resulting in injury or death, or for any damages to property that may occur as a result of using the
product in such facilities, equipment, or control systems.

Protecting against electrostatic discharge

Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components including the Embed
smartTouch Swipe. Please observe electrostatic discharge precautions for handling
or installing this equipment.

Other information and warnings:

 Embed smartTouch Swipe is intended for operation between 55 0C and -20 OC (131 0F

and -4 OF).

 Embed smartTouch Swipe is not intended for domestic use.

Introduction

This manual describes the requirements and steps needed to successfully install the smartTouch
Swipe. The scope of this document covers the hardware installation and the interface to common
Video game type.

Major Components

The smartTouch Swipe

The smartTouch Swipe is the guest facing device that features a touchscreen display with a
dedicated contactless type cards type reader. Guests will Swipe their card for the primary purpose
of transacting at games and attractions.

The device can be mounted in portrait or landscape orientations to best suite the game and guest
accessibility.

Recommended Installation Hardware

The following is a recommended range of hardware to securely install and mount the smartTouch
Swipe reader. The smartTouch Swipe reader uses 4mm brass inserts in the base of the enclosure
so the appropriate length 4mm metric screws must be used to properly secure the smartTouch
Swipe reader. All other hardware can be adjusted to what is most appropriate and available in
your area.

M4 metric, pan head, Philips drive, and zinc coated steel screws.

 Used to secure the smartTouch to the surface of the game or attraction.
 Recommended you have lengths of 10mm, 20mm and 25mm available as

a minimum.

M4 metric, zinc coated steel washers.

 Recommended these are used under every screw.

M4 metric, zinc coated steel full width nuts

Pre-Installation

Before the installation of any hardware, verify the following:

 An adequate earth connection point exists in the game cabinet.
 If the mounting surface is metal, that it is adequately earthed.
 The game credits when a coin is inserted
 The game accurately dispenses tickets
 The coin and ticket meters increment correctly
 Correct any identified faults and retest
 Disconnect the power from the game

It is vital that you are certain the game is in proper working order before beginning the installation
of the Embed hardware. This will prevent confusion later in the process.

Never source and use wire taps or wire nuts. Wire taps cut into the wire and make a minimal

connection that will deteriorate over time leading to game credit and power supply related
problems. Wire nuts also offer a less-than-desirable connection on the small gauge wire used in
games.

We recommends that crimp type butt connectors be used for wire joins and splicing.
You will need some tools and hardware for the equipment installation and recommend the

following as a minimum.

 Multi-meter
 Drill
 5 mm drill bit
 Step drill bit up to 20mm
 Phillips screwdriver

 Wire stripper
 Crimp tool for connectors
 Butt connectors
 Cable ties

smartTouch Swipe Reader Installation

The smartTouch Swipe reader is best mounted and fixed to a location on the game that ensures
it’s easily accessible to guests. In many cases it’s recommended to mount the smartTouch Swipe
reader over the existing coin entry point as it is readily accessible and allows use of the existing
hole for cable entry.
The smartTouch Swipe reader display is usually mounted in landscape display orientation.

Step 1: Locate the ideal position to mount the smartTouch Swipe reader.
Step 2: Mark the spots for drilling. Use the smartTouch Swipe reader mounting template to mark

the four mounting points and the cable connection point.
Step 3: Drill the four mounting points with a 5mm drill-bit. Drill a harness connection hole with a

12.5mm step drill-bit. Clear the holes of sharp edges to protect the harness.
Step 4: Connect the harness to the connector in the bottom of the smartTouch Swipereader.

Feed harness through the hole in the cabinet and position the smartTouch Swipe reader to line
up with the screw mounting holes. Insert the correct length 4mm screws into the base of the
smartTouch Swipe reader and tighten.

Video Game Installation

Standard type Video Games are typically strait forward to install with connections to the 12v DC
Power Supply and Credit Input only. From start to finish you can expect to take 25-35 minutes.

Harness Required

The harness required for this installation is the “Standard Video Harness”.

Harness Connections

Power – 12 volt DC

Power to the IOC is supplied via the 12-way connector through the following pins:

ORANGE

DC +12 v

2

BLACK

DC Ground

Start by locating the game’s power supply, these are typically located in the base of the cabinet.
Identify and measure the 12v DC output ensure it is stable and ideally between 12-13v DC. Splice
in the Orange wire to +12v DC and the Black wire to DC Ground.

It is important for long term reliability that this this connection is made at, or as close as possible
to the Power Supply and not at a mid-point in the game harness or coin door.

Standard Video Harness – Part # IOC-005

If +12 v DC is not available from the game or is unstable then you will need to install a dedicated
+12v DC 1000mA supply. Note: it’s very important the DC Ground of the new power supply is
commoned with the existing DC Ground of the existing in game power supply. Without this
common ground ant ticket or coin monitoring will not operate correctly.

Note “N.O. means “Normally Open”, “COM.” Means “Common”

On the selected player station you can typically disconnect the common and normally open
connectors from the existing coin switch and plug them directly into the pre fitted harness
connectors.

Connect the other end of the harness to the smartTouch Swipe at connector J7.

Basic Configuration of the smartTouch Swipe

As with any configurable electronic device, the smartTouch Swipe contains settings that either
control or change its behaviour without modifying hardware or software associated with the
device.

The smartTouch Swipe has an integrated Wi-Fi module. The smartTouch is configured to attach
to the networking and security information with the use of a special staff card.

How it works

The smartTouch Swipe is very simple to use . User simply present their cards over the display or
user to transact or insert the card in the card slot and swipe . The user only needs to ensure the
card is tapped within the display area of the smartTouch Swip or the card can be Swipeped in
either face up or face down in the card slot

The functions available to the user include :

 E-Ticket collection
 Start/ Play game
 Check Card balance

Note : The smartTouch Swipe is a smart interactive device and will display messages dianamically to a
user to enhance gaming experience. The game configuration is independent of the smartTouch Swipe
reader and varies from game type to game type. The user descriptions for interactive gaming messages
fall outside the scope of this manual.
