3.2 FIELD INSTALLATION
NOTE: An engineer who is responsible, competent and experienced in the safe installation of
electrical apparatus must install this equipment. At the completion of installation, the responsible
person must carry out a visual inspection of the safety critical areas and also carry out an earth
bond test between the protected earth and secondary earths. Whilst the unit is PAT tested at
the point of manufacture, it is strongly recommended that it be retested once assembled on site.
CAUTION
The handles on the rear of the cabinet are fitted to assist when
manoeuvring the machine and are not designed as a lifting aid.

13
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 and is designed for
indoor use only.
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 of high levels of moisture.
Check that the mains supply socket is rated for 13 Amps and fitted with an on / off switch
and is nearby to avoid a long mains lead and 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.
The machine should not be moved when the door is open, failure to adhere to this may
result in the machine failing over causing serious injury.
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). In certain circumstances during power up, the
inrush current may reach up to 95 amps. In premises that experience mains trip out during
power up, Barcrest recommends that an Inductive Mains Circuit Breaker ‘D Type’ is fitted.
WARNING
NOTE: Operators should be advised not to open the doors during game play, as game state is
not preserved (although the credit meters remain accurate).
Barcrest recommends that castors are not fitted to the Triple 7
cabinet. The fitting of any castors to the Triple 7 cabinet may result
in the machine toppling over, thus causing serious injury.
