UNPACKING

To unpack Speed of Light, first remove
the exterior carton.

The header and platform are both
located securely inside the Rear Bar
mounting.

Remove the 9 bolts from the Rear Bars
(4 at each bar top, one at the base),
then remove the Rear Bars.

Carefully take out the platform and the
header. Now re-bolt the Rear Bars to
the main cabinet.

Additional bolts are required at the base
of the Rear Bars, but this is done later in
the assembly.

Page8

ASSEMBLY

THE HEADER

Open and remove the back panel on the middle section of the header so you have access to
the header cables. These cables are to be connected to the cable coming up through the
center two tubes in the button matrix. Position the header on top brackets and secure with
the 10 bolts supplied. Leave the bolts loose until all are fitted, then tighten them. Connect
the left and right speakers, score display, and LED connectors from inside of the header,
then replace the back panel on the Header and tighten all the bolts.

Page9

THE PLATFORM

The cabinet will arrive with the platform separate from the cabinet. Position the platform as
per drawing 1.

Adjust the feet on the platform to allow the bars to slide into the front of the cabinet as
pictured. Slide the platform close to the cabinet and plug together the wiring connectors
(Platform Wiring) then slide the platform fully into place. Once the platform and the cabinet
are together, secure the platform from the back of cabinet first. Use the two bolts at the
very back to pull the platform into the correct position before installing the remaining bolts
that secure the platform and cabinet. Then add the side brace plates, and tighten everything
up to finish the assembly.

GAMEPLAY

OBJECTIVE

 Or win bonus credits based on:

o Beating the high score
o Reaching the top score of 999

 The winner is the player with the highest score at the end of the game

 If card swipe system is installed, there is an option that allows the sum of both

players tickets go to the winners card (Note: two card swipers are needed)

 High score/999 bonuses can also be won in two player

ATTRACT MODE

The Attract mode provides a light and sound display while the game is not being played. This
feature is to attract potential customers to play the game. The attract mode sound can be
turned on and off

PLAY MODE

Speed of Light has two play modes. The standard Coin Play mode, where a coin, or coins are
inserted. Or Free Play mode where no coins are necessary.

COIN PLAY

The Coin Play mode is entered from Attract mode, by inserting coins in any of the two coin

slots on the front of the machine cabinet, then following the instructions in the “How to
Play” section of this manual.

FREE PLAY

Free play can be set in one of three ways:

 From attract mode by holding the green service button for longer than five seconds

(this is reset to normal play when the machine is turned off and back on)

 Or by setting the P-01 setting to FrEE (this is fixed, and stays set to free until this

setting is changed)

 For a single free game, just press the green service button once. When issuing single

free games in this manner, prizes can be won as normal.

ERRORS

Button, ticket and machine errors can be alerted in multiple ways. A voiceover during the
attract mode, a silent red light flashing on the front of the machine, or both. The silent red
button is the default setting. To identify the error in this mode, press the red test button
once. To clear the error, press the red test button once more. The game will check if the
error is fixed. If the reason for the error is gone, the game will continue as normal. If the
error has not been fixed, error will remain on the display.

CODE

ERROR DESCRIPTION

SOLUTION

Err1

TICKET ERROR - Jammed tickets, no
tickets, or no ticket notch pulse for
longer than 3 seconds

Clear ticket dispenser jam or replenish
tickets.

Err2

GAME MODE BUTTON JAM - active
for longer than 30 seconds

Check button function using switch test

Err3

EEPROM ERROR - Problem with on­board EEPROM

The main MCU is getting errors reading the
EEPROM (24C16 IC on MCU).

Err4

PLAYFIELD BUTTON ERROR - active
for longer than 30 seconds

Check button function using switch test
and clear the jam button or faulty switch

Err1 - TICKET ERROR

This error usually occurs if the game has run out of tickets or there is a ticket jam. If the
game was out of tickets, replace them, and the error will automatically clear as well as feed
any outstanding payout. Less common reason is if the game PCB tries to dispense tickets but
does not get a notch pulse for approximately three seconds. Use the switch test function to

Page14

detect a notch pulse by passing a ticket in and out of the notch sensor. An active notch will
be display as C1.

Err2 - START/STOP BUTTON JAMMED

This error is usually displayed if the Start/Stop button is active for longer than 30 seconds.
Use the switch test function to clarify. An active button will be display as C3.

Err3 - EEPROM ERROR

This Error is only displayed in test mode, and means that the CPU cannot read the EEPROM,
or is receiving errors during communication with the EEPROM (The 23C16 IC on the main
MCU PCB). This could cause problems with the game audits and program settings.

If this occurs, firstly try switching the machine OFF and ON for at least 2 cycles. If the
message still appears, replace the EEPROM IC Atmel 24C16 on the CPU PCB with a new
EEPROM. If the error message remains, send your main MCU PCB to the nearest authorized
LAI Games dealer for repair.

Err4 – PLAYFIELD BUTTON ERROR

This error is usually displayed if one or more buttons are jammed, or a button switch is
faulty. Test the button function by using both the Run Test and Switch Test. Switch Test
should display numbers between C11 – C40.

Page15

TEST MODE

The Speed of Light test mode allows you to run sound/lamp/display, switch, and run tests.
Cycle through these test modes with the red test button.

GAME SWITCHES

All game switches have a code from C1 to C40 as tabled below. By activating any of the
switches, their code will be displayed on the 4-digit display.
If there are no switches active, C - 00 be displayed.
If several switches are activated simultaneously, the display will consecutively show their
codes, indicating which switches are active.

 P15- Pay out tickets on free mode (Default Off)

This is whether tickets are paid out when the machine is set to free mode and can be set
to on or off

 P16- Default high score (Default, 500)

This is the high score the machine starts with, and resets to if P18 is set to off, it is
adjustable from 50 to 700.

 P17- Current high Score (Default, 500)

This setting is used to manipulate the current high score and the score can be change up
or down and is adjustable down to the P16 setting and up to 990.

 P18- Memorise the High Score (Default, on)

This sets whether or not the machine remembers the last high score when switched off.

 P19-Ticket payout (Default, on)

This sets ticket payouts on or off

 P20- Game linking type (Default, 0 none) (optional)

This sets the manner in which errors are alerted. The default silently flashes the red light
on the front of the machine. It is adjustable from 1-4 as per the table below.

 P22- Common coin (Default, off)

This controls the dual coin system. When set to OFF, both coin systems are separate
(double coin system), when set to ON, both coin inputs will be combined and into a
single accumulated pool. Note the value of both inputs needs to be the same. Example:
This is often used with a DBA set on 25c pulses and 25c coin mech.

 P23- Double player - one credit (Default, off)

This allows the two-player mode to be played with just one credit instead of the default

2 credits.

 P24- Card system (Default, off)

This allows splitting of the coin inputs for 2 player games, allowing the winner of a 2­player game to be credited their winnings. This mode requires two card swipers installed
on the game and the Card system wired to the 2nd Ticket Dispense connector.

 P25- Competition mode (Default, off. Adjustable 1-5 )

This setting allows for adjustment of the bonus ramp for in store competitions.
Exceptional players may be able to reach 999 on a regular basis. By adjusting this setting,
it can be assured players never reach 999, and thus the winner of a tournament can be
established. The settings (1-5) represent the max points per button press. The
recommended setting for a competition is 3.
