Owners Manual IGT S-Plus Road Pa19087 l » MITCHELL ENTERPRISES ‘Currency and Gaming Products 6 > Bruce C. Mitchell o > 1054 Whitegate > Wayne none: 610- BASIC FACTS FOR THE OPERATION OF IGT S$ PLUS 1, First plug in machine into a standard 3 prong outlet. 2. Open door and find toggle switch to turn on machine-near bottom of machine on right. 3. At the bottom of the inside of the machine, you will see the hopper. This holds the tokens and looks like a large scoop, Add 50 to 100 tokens to this by simply placing handfuls in the scoop looking portion 4. Close and lock door and you are ready to play. 5. One to three coins can be played to start the game, After the first coin is accepted, the handle can be pulled to start the game. ‘The INSERT COIN light will go out when the maximum number of coins have been played or when the handle is pulled, When the desired number of coins have been accepted and the handle pulled, thé reels will start to spin. The reels then stop one al a time from left to right. 6. Awin conditions is any one of the winning combinations of symbols shown on the paytable. When a win occurs, the WINNER PAID light will come on above the LED Matrix Display and the amount paid out will increment on the LED display as the hopper pays out each coin. The number of coins paid-out will remain displayed until the next game 7. When a large jackpot is hit, the jackpot light will light up and the bell will ring, The machine will lockout until the jackpot is paid and the game is reset. This is done by turning the Jackpot reset key switch (located on the top right outside of the cabinet) clockwise. When the machine has been reset, the bell and jackpot light will turn off and the game will retum to idle mode. 8, Ifa problem occurs with the play, the condition is described in the LED display. If EMPTY appears, open door and add tokens to the hopper. Closing the door will automatically reset the machine. If'a TILT condition appears, Open and close the door. If the condition reoccurs, turn the reset key clockwise and additional display codes will appear. Do this before calling for help so the technician can identify the problem 9. Before moving machine from one location to another, turn off machine and remove tokens from hopper. Loose coins inside a machine can short out boards and do other damage during transport. To empty the tokens, open door, remove the coin tray, grasp hopper handle and gently pull out, Empty tokens and replace hopper by sliding along track on bottom of machine and gently pushing to the back of machine to replug hopper into controls. . 10. Iftechnical problems occur that are not remedied by the above, call your local distributor.

RY, S-PLUS FIELD SERVICE CAUTION When working with either AC or DC voll- age, take care not to touch the wires or cir- cuitry to each other or any other point of contatt, including yourself. Use only ap- proved test equipment that is in good working condition. The procedures in this section should only be attempted by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. 3.5.1 Recommended Test Equipment * digital volt/chmmeter (VOM) with a high impedance input for checking AC/ DC voltages and resistance * two extension cables for functionally ex- tending the processor board away from the mother board Related Test Equipment AnIGTStepperSlot Testerunitis recommended to troubleshoot the processor board and elec- tronic components of the machine. Use of the Video Testerisnotcoveredinthismanual. Refer to the Stepper-Slot Tester Operator's Manual (p/n 821-051-00). Contact IGT Customer Ser- vice (Section 2) for additional information. 3.5.2 Printed Circuit Boards 1. With the machine power off, check the condition of all harnesses, wires, and the individual contacts of the mating connec- tor on the circuit board. 2. Replace the suspect board with a known good board. Refer to Section 5, Compo- nents & Assemblies, for removal and re- placement procedures for specific boards. 3. Use the self test mode to check all machine functions for normal operation. 3.5.3 Power Supply Figure3-3 shows the main transformer AC volt ages. Machine Troubleshooting . Turn the machine power off and check the main fuses at the back of the lower mod: ule (power supply) a. Ifa fuse is suspected of being blown (no machine functions or only partial machine functions), remove each fuse one ata time and check it visually if it is of glass construction, or with a conti- nuity tester such as an ohmmeter. b. Ifa fuse is open (blown), replace it with a fuse of the type and rating indicated on the fuse panel label. c. If the newly replaced fuse blows im- mediately or soon after applying ma- chine power, suspect a short circuit on one of the circuit boards or within the power supply wiring, d. The problem may be quickly isolated by removing the power supply connec- tions to circuit branches, boards and modules within the machine, replacing the fuse, and systematically reconnect- ing the powet supply to each circuit branch, board and module, until the faulty comportent is determined. ¢. Replace any faulty circuit branch, board, module or fuse. . Ifany of the main power transformer sec- ondary voltages is missing or measures low, the problem may be isolated to either the transformer or to an overload condi- tion, using the following procedure. a. Check the voltage on the transformer primary and confirm that power (line voltage) is present. s ‘Check each of the secondary voltages at the secondary terminals and compare to the voltages shown in Figure 3-3. c. Ifall of the secondary voltages measure very low or near 0 VAC (zero volts AC) but the primary voltages are present on the indicated terminals, the main power transformer may have an open primary winding. To verify, disconnect the ma- chine power and use an ohmmeter to Machine Tioubleshooting —— __S-PLUS FIELD SERVICE 220 VAC HOT +240 VAC HOT © wie © wee © ‘TVAC ‘ TVAG 115/220 TRANSFORMER 115/240 TRANSFORMER Figure 3-3. Transformer AC Voltages. measure the continuity across the pri- mary winding. If the resistance is high- er thana few ohms, the transformer is defective and should be replaced. 4d. Ifonly one of the secondary voltage measures very low (near zero volts AC), that secondary may be open. With the machine power disconnected, remove the terminal from the suspected transformer tap and measure across it. If the resistance is higher than a few ohms, the transformer is defective. ¢. Ifa secondary voltage is present but measures more than 20% low, the cause may be an overload on that particular secondary. This symptom will usually be accompanied by, transformer over- heating, excessive noise (humming) from the transformer, and blown fuses. ‘To confirm that the low voltage read- ing is caused by an overload: discon- nect one lead from the secondary in question at the transformer and mea- sure the unloaded voltage. If the volt- age is now within the normal range, then the disconnected circuit is causing the overload. To isolate the cause of the overload: disconnect circuit branches, boards and modules that utilize the suspected sec- ondary and reconnect them one at a time until the secondary lead can be re- connected and no drop in secondary voltage is seen. 2 . Replace the faulty device. 4, Connect all parts and wires that were re- moved during troubleshooting. 5. Tum the machine power on and complete the functional verification procedures. 3.5.4 Point-to-Point Whena circuit from the processor board is sus- pected of being “open,” a point-to-point conti- nuity measurement is recommended. Use the following stepsasa troubleshooting guideline. ‘S-PLUS FIELD SERVICE 5. |. Turn the machine power off. Physically and visually check the harness- es or individual wires for any damage. . Check all related connectors for dislodged pins or disconnected wires. Connect a set of test extension cables from Pl and P2.on the mother board to J1 and J2 ‘on the processor board (PI to JI and P2 to 2. Note Ifthe mother board has a clear plastic cov- er, remove this cover in order to connect theextension cables. Besure toreplace the cover after testing is completed. Refer to the connector diagrams on the fol- lowing, pages, and to the related wiring diagrams and schematics in Section 5 for detailed wiring information. Set the VOM to the lowest scale for mea- suring resistance and connect one probe Jead to the source component on the pro- cessor board. Keep this probe lead con- nected throughout the point-to-point check. Machine Troubleshooting Connect the other probe lead to the device in question and observe the VOM. If the circuit continuity does not measure closed (ohms 4 .2 ohm tolerance), proceed to Step 9. If the circuit does measure closed, then an intermittent condition may exist. Recheck the device in question and the ‘processor board or wiggle the related Wites and terminations while observing the VOM. 8. Connect the probe lead to the next termina~ tion point in the circuit and observe the VOM. 9. Follow this procedure back to the source ‘component on the processor board. The mother board printed circuitry is also sub- ject to failure. 3.5.5 Harness Connectors & Pin-Outs ‘The following pages provide detailed informa- tion about the major machine harness connec- tors.
