SECTION 1 - SAFETY NOTES
1.1 - General
Barcrest Group make use of a wide range of components in the manufacture of their product, which are in turn supplied by
alarge number of manufacturers.
Due to its limitations, it is not practical for this manual to contain all the relevant safety data for these products.
If required, the manufacturer’s data sheets can be supplied.
All parts used in Barcrest Group products are used within their specification limits and in accordance with sound
engineering practice.
1.2 - Electrical Safety
1.2.1 - Risk of Electric Shock
230 Volts is present within the machine.
Only suitably qualified personnel should carry out servicing of the machine.
Disconnect from the mains supply before disconnecting, removing or touching any internal components.
1.2.2 - Safe Connection to Supply
To ensure the safe operation of this machine it must be connected to the mains supply using an approved power cord,
which meets the requirements of IEC227.
This cord must have an IEC approved connector at one end and an approved 13-amp plug fitted with a 5-amp fuse at the
other. In the case of non-fused power cords, an approved and suitably rated Residual Current Device shall be used.
For equipment with a permanently connected power cord-
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturers, its service agents, or similarly qualified persons, in
order to avoid a hazard.
1.2.3 - Insulation \ Earth Bond
Insulation and earth bond electrical safety checks are made on all Barcrest Group machines before despatch.
These tests should be then be undertaken annually, or whenever safety critical parts or connections are replaced.
Insulation \ earth bond specifications for Barcrest Group machines are as follows: -
Insulation > 9.9 Meg ohm @ 500V
Earth Bond < 0.1 ohm @ 25 amps
1.3 - Chemical Safety
Some component parts of Barcrest Group products contain small quantities of chemicals, which are to be considered
hazardous should the components be accidentally damaged.
These are: - •Electrolytic capacitors
•Nickel-metal hydride batteries
•Opto-electronic devices using Gallium Phosphide
Because of the corrosive or flammable nature of these chemicals, particular care is required in the case of spillage. Where
these chemicals do come into contact with the skin or eyes, the affected area must be flushed with cold running water, and
medical advice sought.
1.4 - Fire Safety
The components used in Barcrest Group products are in the main, housed in a heat resistant material.
NB: Where component parts are replaced; only components of identical value must be used and that the correct
polarity be observed during insertion.
Severe electrical overload conditions could create sufficient heat so as to ignite chemicals within components themselves,
other components in close proximity, machine wiring harnesses etc.
Materials used, which are in the fire hazard category, are:

10
Material Hazard
Chipboard If ignited, chipboard releases Formaldehyde vapour,
which irritates the eyes and mucus membranes.
Plastic laminates If ignited, wire insulation, rubber and plastic mouldings,
etc. release noxious vapours, which may cause
irritation if inhaled.
Glass If exposed to extreme heat, glass will crack creating
risk of injury.
Electrolytic
Capacitors /
Batteries
There is a risk of these components exploding if
subjected to fire
Harnesses If ignited, toxic fumes are released: carbon monoxide &
hydrogen chloride.
1.5 - Component Disposal
Electronic components should not be incinerated due to the risk of explosion or release of noxious fumes
1.6 – Lithium batteries
Lithium batteries as used in Barcrest Group products are correctly marked and must only be replaced with the same or an
equivalent type as recommended by the manufacturer. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
The MPU5 battery is vertically mounted and soldered into the printed circuit board. The MPU6 battery is a button cell type,
which is located on the printed circuit board. It’s location is obvious upon removing the plastic case of the MPU6 and it may
be easily removed without the aid of a tool.
1.6.1 – Disposal
In accordance with the Batteries Directive where the primary objective is to minimize the negative impact of waste batteries
and accumulators on the environment, thus contributing to the protection, preservation and improvement of the quality of
the environment, batteries must not be disposed of in domestic waste. Batteries may only be disposed of in a manner
described by the battery manufacturer, or returned to the manufacturer for safe disposal.
1.7 - Warning
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.
1.8 – Recycling Information
Barcrest Group recommends that customers dispose of their used machines in an environmentally sound manner.
Potential methods include the reuse of parts or whole products and recycling of products, components, and/or materials.
This product should not be disposed of with household waste. It should be deposited at an appropriate facility to enable
recovery and recycling.

11
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
Positioning of the machine will normally be determined by site staff, however when installing
the machine check the following conditions and if any one of them is likely to cause problems
with machine operation they should be brought to the attention of the site staff and an
alternate site suggested:
•The machine should be standing on a level, flat and stable floor
•Ensure there are no local sources of high temperatures such as fires or radiators
•Try to avoid nylon carpets to minimise problems with static
•Ensure there are no local sources or high levels of moisture
•Check that the mains supply socket is rated for 13 Amps and fitted with an on / off switch
and is sited nearby to avoid a long mains lead. Check that the supply socket is in good
condition and not showing any signs of overheating or damage.
•Check that the mains socket is fitted with an earth connection and that the earth is
correctly connected
•Machines look best in subdued lighting
•The machine should be positioned where site staff can supervise it.
When the machine is positioned check that it is stable and does not rock. Check that the
mains cable is undamaged and that the mains plug is fitted with a 5A fuse. Connect the
mains lead to the mains socket at the rear of the machine and to the site supply socket.
The machine requires a nominal supply of 230 V AC, 50 Hz but should easily tolerate a
variation of plus or minus 10% (207 to 253 volts).
2.1 Mains supply requirements
Connection to the mains supply is through an I.E.C. Europlug at the rear of the machine.
The supply should be protected by a 3 Amp fuse. In most installations this is achieved by
fitting a 3 Amp fuse to the plug at the remote end of the mains supply cable. A good earth is
necessary if safety is to be assured and problems from static electricity are to be avoided.
The machine requires a nominal supply of 230V AC +/- 10%.
Connect the mains lead to the mains socket at the rear of the machine and to the site supply
socket.
2.2 Initialisation
Whenever the mains power to the machine is switched on with the doors closed a number of
automatic resetting and self-checking procedures take place. The machine identity is shown
on the MPU6 and machines alphanumeric display. If any door is open the machine identity,
software version number and the software options set are displayed.
With both doors closed, after a short delay the reels spin forwards one revolution to position
one then backwards one revolution to position one, to check the reel opto inputs, then they
spin to the last game position. This is necessary for the MPU6 to determine the current reel
positions.
Finally the machine enters “attract” mode, the coin mech and where fitted the note acceptor
is enabled and the machine becomes operational.

12
2.3 - Self-Test Routine
2.3.1 - General
To aid faultfinding and to provide a quick check of the operational functions of the machine a
series of self-test routines are provided. Each self-test routine checks a particular aspect of

2.3.16 - Test 18 Coin Mech Encryption Code
In order to improve note acceptor security the machine software requires an encryption key
code to be set. This is necessary following replacement of either the MPU6 Unit or the
acceptor.
To facilitate installation of an encrypted SR5E coin mech for the first time enter test 18 to
enable an encrypted code to be entered for the Encrypted coin mech. This number is printed
on the coin mech body.
Power up the machine and enter the test routine using the second test button, which should
be selected simultaneously with the program modules test button. RH1 is used to increment
from test 1 to 18 then the RH2 button must be selected.
On entering test 18, one of the following text messages is displayed on the Alpha Display.
Key = 0 0 0 0 0 0 or “KEY KNOWN”
The first digit is automatically selected and will be flashing. The LH4 and RH4 buttons
increment and decrement the first number of the encryption code.
Selection of the LH2 and LH3 buttons causes the selected digit to move from left or right
respectively.
Once the code has been entered the RH3 button should be selected to accept the code and
one of the following messages will be displayed
If the key code has already been set up and is valid then the display indicates “KEY
KNOWN”.
If the key code is incorrect then the display indicates “COIN MECH NO RESPONSE”.

2.4 Starpoint Electronic Counter
The “Starpoint Electronic Counter” is an electronic counter designed to replace all traditional
mechanical meters in a gaming machine. It is located in the refill meter position near the coin
entry bezel.
To read the SEC meter the machine should be in door open mode. The cancel button should
be pressed once. The SEC and alphanumeric will display the name and value of the selected
meter (Full details in the Generic machine manual).
Pressing the cancel button again continues to the next meter until the first meter is shown
again. The button next to the cancel will step the meters back.
To exit the SEC read then press the RH1 button.
(Refer to section 2.11 for button definitions).
2.4.1 Information Display
The host machine controls the display and contents of each meter in sequence on the
meters LCD.
Prior to showing each counter the meter will display the associated text message associated
with that store for a short period of time.
On machines fitted with an alphanumeric display the meter readings will be duplicated on
this.
2.4.2 Operational Description
The Electronic Starpoint meter replaces all mechanical meters and provides the meter
information as follow in 10p units:
Meter Meter Number
REFILL Meter 1.
CASH IN Meter 2.
CASH OUT Meter 3.
CHANGE Meter 4.
