Introduction

This manual describes the requirements and steps needed to successfully install the SmartTouch
Insert. The scope of this document covers the hardware installation and the interface to common
game types such as Video, Redemption and Coin Action.

Major Components

The Smart-Touch Insert

The SmartTouch Insert is the guest facing device that features a touchscreen display and is
capable of accepting both traditional magnetic and contactless type cards. Guests will tap or insert
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.

A custom USB cable that connects the Smart-Touch reader to the IOC. Supplied in 1.5m and 3m
lengths.

IOC Game Interface Harnessing

A range of harnesses providing connection to the most common amusement type games,
attractions and other specialist equipment.

Recommended Installation Hardware

The following is a recommended range of hardware to securely install and mount the Smart­Touch Insert . The SmartTouch Inset 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 Insert .
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 Smart-Touch 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

6g Wood Screws used for mounting the IOC inside a wooden cabinet.

Pre-Installation

 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

Wire Tap

Wire Nut

Butt Connector

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.

SmartTouch Insert Installation

Portrait Orientation

Landscape Orientation

The SmartTouch Insert 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 Smart-Touch reader over
the existing coin entry point as it is readily accessible and allows use of the existing hole for cable
entry.
The SmartTouch Insert display can be adjusted to accommodate a portrait or landscape display
orientation.

Step 1: Locate the ideal position to mount the SmartTouch Insert.
Step 2: Mark the spots for drilling. Use the SmartTouch Insert 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 the SmartTouch Insert to IOC

Interface Harness connection hole with a 12.5mm step drill-bit. Clear the holes of sharp edges to
protect the harness.

Step 4: Connect the SmartTouch Insert to IOC Interface harness to the connector in the bottom
of the Smart SmartTouch Insert. Feed this through the hole in the cabinet and position the
SmartTouch Insert to line up with the screw mounting holes. Insert the correct length 4mm screws
into the base of the Smart-Touch reader and tighten.

user to enhance gaming experience. The game configuration is independent of the smartTouch
Insert and varies from game type to game type. The user descriptions for interactive gaming
messages fall outside the scope of this manual

The following is a general guide to the configuration menus on the SmartTouch Insert which are
divided into three main categories:

View Info - Displays device information such and product and firmware details.
Configure - Opens up further menus for configuring the SmartTouch Insert and IOC.
Test - Some hardware tests for validating SmartTouch Insert hardware.

This guide will focus on the “Configure” menu. Select the Configure button to display the Config
Mode menu below.
