12. Unplug this jukebox during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the jukebox has been
damaged in any way, such as when the power
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the jukebox, the
jukebox has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
When replacing a battery – “CAUTION: Danger of
explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.”
CAUTION
Be extremely careful when working with this jukebox if it is not securely attached to a wall or
similar structure. Because this jukebox is very top heavy, opening the door may cause it to
tip over.

Unpacking Instructions
This section contains information for unpacking the jukebox and installing it at a location.
The jukebox is shipped with all major components except the Volume Control Unit in place.
Save all tie-down hardware in case the NiteHAWK must be moved to another location.
1. Remove the shipping carton with care: Do not use shipping hooks or sharp tools that
could damage the jukebox cabinet.
2. Remove the plastic bag that covers the jukebox.
3. Carefully inspect the interior and exterior of the jukebox to ensure that no damage
occurred during transit.
If damage is detected, the carrier who delivered the jukebox should be contacted
immediately to examine it. Regardless of the exterior condition of the shipping cartons, the
carrier should be called and notified of damage. Do not destroy packing material or boxes
until the carrier’s agent has examined them.
Damage claims are your responsibility. Do not return damaged merchandise until after your
claim has been established. Once your claim has been established, merchandise may be
returned to your Rowe distributor for repair. The invoice amount for repair charges can then
be collected from the carrier.
Door
Locate the white bag in the coin return on the side of the cabinet. Remove the door key
from the bag and unlock the door. Turn the key clockwise and press in on the door as you
turn the key.
Visual Inspection

filled out and returned to Rowe.

NiteHAWK Internet Jukebox Unpacking & System Description
22022613 Rev B 1-3
Installation Instructions
CAUTION!
NiteHAWK must be solidly fastened to structural members within the supporting wall.
NiteHAWK weighs 180 pounds (82 kg); if it falls, it could cause damage or injury.
CAUTION!
Supplied fasteners (1-1/2” lag screws) are for wood wall stud construction. The
installer must use supplied fasteners, or longer length lag screws.
Installing the Hanger Bracket
The Hanger Bracket is shipped installed to back of the NiteHAWK. Refer to Figure 1–1.
1. Loosen the 2 screws in the slots of both Retainer Brackets. Refer to Figure 1–2.
Slide the Retainer Bracket to the side and remove. Then lower and remove the
Hanger Bracket.
IMPORTANT: Save the Retainer Brackets for later use after the NiteHAWK is
installed.
2. PREFERRED METHOD*: At the installation location, use a level to mark a line that
is exactly level and 66.5" (169 cm) above the floor. This will place the bottom of the
NiteHAWK at 30.80" (78.2 cm) above the floor.
IMPORTANT: This line must be level so that the mounted NiteHAWK will be level.
IMPORTANT: If replacing a WP-100 series CD Box or an NDW-1 Duet Box, use the
level to mark a line that is exactly 4 1/2" directly below the existing holes. This will
allow the use of existing lower holes in the wall and place the NiteHAWK at the same
recommended height.
3. Locate the wall stud locations on the horizontal line. If using the supplied lag screws,
drill 5/32" holes at the mark.
4. Place the Hanger Bracket against the wall. Align the Hanger Bracket holes with the
wall marks and attach with all fasteners.
* In order to comply with the height requirements of the ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act), this line must be no more than 56.450 inches from the floor.

Major Components of the NiteHAWK
Figures 1–3 and 1–4 show the major components of the NiteHAWK Jukebox. Take a
minute to familiarize yourself with these components.
Computer Core Assembly
The Computer Core Assembly is the heart of the system and has a removable hard drive
and a single board computer. The hard drive is the only storage in the system and contains
Windows XP Embedded Operating System software, all application software, all music, and
all setup and audit data. The single board computer converts music selections stored on the
hard drive into a stereo signal for the system’s audio components. It connects to the
Internet, the SVGA touchscreen monitor, and the Rowelink modules. It also includes the
coin switch, router reset, fan circuits, bill acceptor, song reject, infrared detector and
amplifier mute.
Touchscreen 19” LCD Monitor
All machine operations are done through the touchscreen monitor. These include viewing
and making selections, displaying the selection being played, displaying pricing and credits,
viewing and changing setup and audit data, and downloading “Music On Demand”
selections.
System Power Supply
The system power supply produces +9 VDC, +12 VDC, +24 VDC, and contains a relay to
switch the jukebox lights, touchscreen monitor, and Bill Acceptor ON or OFF. It has an IEC
320 power inlet, two 6A circuit breakers and two 4A fuses.
Transformer Assembly
The transformer assembly supplies power for the 4-Channel Pre-Amplifier, 1000-Watt Audio
Digital Amplifier, and the system power supply described above.
LED Controller
This module controls the LEDs that illuminate the perimeter lighting on the door and the
door graphics of the jukebox. It provides adjustments for the Brightness, Flash Rate, and
Music Sensitivity along with controls for the patterns used during standby, and separately,
the times when music is playing.
Router
This device provides the interface between the Computer Core Assembly and the
broadband modem or satellite receiver. There is a one-time configuration process to set this
device for your particular Internet Service Provider (ISP). In addition to the port required for
the Computer Core Assembly, there are three other ports provided for other devices.

NiteHAWK Internet Jukebox Unpacking & System Description
22022613 Rev B 1-7
Volume Control Unit
The Volume Control Unit (VCU), a Rowelink module, should be mounted remotely (behind
bar, etc.). The 100-foot modular cable (included) can be connected between the unit and
the green VCU plug on the Computer Core Assembly. It displays and controls the volume of
the amplifier channels and microphones. If an existing 100 foot cable is already in place, you
can use the 3-wire or 4-wire (see Figure 3-16) alternate wiring.
•The POWER button turns the NiteHAWK Jukebox lights, touchscreen monitor and Bill
Acceptor ON or OFF.
•The REJECT button rejects the selection playing.
•The FUTURE button adds credits toward selections (See “Credit Management” in the
Operator Setup Screens Manual).
•The MODE key toggles between channels and microphones.
•The VCU also raises or lowers the volume of the channel(s) or microphone using the UP
DOWN keys. The volume range is 0 to 63. Channel Volume is displayed when the
mode LED is off, and microphone volume is displayed when the mode LED is on.
The CH, MIC, and SINGER LEDs indicate what volume is being displayed. When
adjusting channel volume, if more than one LED is on, it means those channels have the
same volume. All four channels have the same volume when shipped from the factory
(see Section 3 of the included “Network Setup, Jukebox Operation, Operator Setup
Screens” manual for other possible configurations).
4-Channel Pre-amplifier
This Rowelink module transforms audio signals from the Computer Core Assembly,
microphones, and other sound processors/equipment/systems into signals for the Power
Amplifier. It contains Automatic Volume Control (AVC) circuits to adjust for varying
recording levels and tone controls, and 5-band equalizers. All adjustments and options are
programmable via the touchscreen and are retained on the Computer Core Assembly hard
drive (see Section 3 of the included “Network Setup, Jukebox Operation, Operator Setup
Screens” manual for setup information).
1000-Watt Audio Digital Power Amplifier
The 2-channel digital audio power amplifier is rated 1000 watts RMS (500 per channel) into
a 2-ohm load. The full volume output voltage is 32 volts.
The amplifier is protected against overloads and short circuits. Continuous severe
overloads or shorts may shut down the amplifier (or a channel) but will not damage it. If the
overload is removed a signal will reset the amplifier when the next selection plays.
Audio Output Transformers
The output transformers “step up” the power amplifiers output voltage for 70-volt extension
speakers. They also provide screw terminal connections for selecting different power levels
for extension speakers.
Bill Acceptor
The Coinco® Vantage™, with an 1100-bill stacker or MEI®Series 2000 bill acceptor, with a
1000-bill stacker, operates on 120 VAC input power and sends its pulsed credit signals to
the Computer Core.
