Safety Instructions
Safety instructions apply to operators and service personnel. Read these instructions before preparing the
video game video game conversion. Other safety instructions appear throughout this manual.
WARNING: TRANSPORTING THE VIDEO GAME MACHINE (VGM).
The VGM contains glass and fragile electronic devices. Use appropriate care when transporting . Avoid rough
handling when moving the VGM.
WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER.
Always turn the power OFF and unplug the VGM before attempting service or adjustments unless otherwise
instructed. Installing or repairing components with the power switched ON can damage the components and
void warranty.
WARNING: GROUND GAMES.
Avoid electrical shock! Do not plug in the VGM until you have inspected and properly grounded it. Only plug
into a grounded, three-wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug, or cut off the ground pin on the line cord.
WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCKS.
This VGM does not utilize an isolation transformer. Internal cabinet AC is not isolated from the external AC
line.
WARNING: HANDLE FLOURESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE.
If you drop a fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly eight feet or more
from the implosion.
WARNING: CHECK POWER SELECTOR, LAMP.
Set the 115/230 VAC selector switch on the power supply for the correct line voltage on the installation site.
Verify that the lamps are also rated for the proper line voltage.
WARNING: USE PROPER FUSE.
Avoid electrical shock! Replacement fuses must be identically rated to the original fuse!
WARNING: ATTACH CONNECTORS PROPERLY.
Be sure all connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip in easily, do not force them. Connectors are
often keyed and only connect one way. Check for correct orientation.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING PC.
The PC contains sensitive components such as a hard drive. Do not handle roughly. Call your distributor
before servicing PC internal components. Ask about warranty information as it relates to the PC.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Please read this manual carefully before you begin the installation process. Verify that the
cabinet to be used for conversion is fully functional. This kit conversion requires some
familiarity with AC voltage and safety around electronic devices. If at any point you are
uncertain as to how to proceed during this conversion, STOP and call Betson Enterprises
at 1-800-524-2343.
Please refer to the basic conversion cabinet checklist below before you continue.
1. Cabinet is structurally sound.
2. Inside cabinet is free of loose debris and exposed wiring.
3. Game currently installed is fully functional. Check to make sure that:
•Player 1 and 2 Start Buttons working.
•Coin 1 and 2 switches are working.
•Coin meter is working.
•Coin door lamp is correct voltage type and working.
•Picture is adjusted for proper linearity, brightness, contrast and color
•5 and 12 JAMMA Voltages are set correctly. They should read between 4.9 –
5.1VDC and 11.8 – 12.2VDC, respectively at the JAMMA connector while
connected to the old game CPU.
•Sound from cabinet speakers is present.
Please correct any problems found before you continue. This will help to ensure an easy
and successful Conversion Kit installation.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Unplug the game and move it to a safe work area.
2. Remove the following items from the cabinet
•game logic PCB
•marquee graphic insert
•control panel if converting from a game other than a gun game
Note: Leave the existing power supply, JAMMA harness and all associated game wiring
harness in the cabinet. Modifications to the control panel may be required if converting from
a non-gun game.
3. Determine mounting location and orientation of the kit chassis into the cabinet. When
doing so, take into consideration the orientation of the game JAMMA connector and
harness relative to the mounting position of the kit chassis for best fit. Routing of the
game harness may need to be modified but should be minimal.
4. Use the wood screws provided to mount the chassis. The pictures below illustrate how
the kit chassis might be mounted on an Area51, Lethal Enforcers and Gauntlet Legends
dedicated game cabinet.

Making the Electrical Connections
NOTE: Make sure the game is unplugged and with the game power switch to the OFF
position before you begin. Please refer to Fig. A “Kit Chassis Block Diagram” for
connector locations.
AC Service to Power Supply
1. Locate the AC line cord and the terminal block provided with the kit.
2. Use the terminal block as a means of connecting the stripped end of the line cord to the
game AC line. Do not bypass the game cabinet main fuse and main power switch when
making the AC connection!
3. Connect the IEC plug end of the line cord to the uATX power supply on the kit.
4. Double-check your AC connections before you proceed.
Hard Drive Installation
1. Locate the hard drive and the mounting screws from the hardware bag.
2. Mount the hard drive to the kit mounting bracket using the supplied thumbscrews.
3. Connect the ribbon cable from the motherboard to the hard drive.
4. Connect power to hard drive from the uATX power supply.
Watchdog Harness Connection
Note: The game will not be playable unless the Watchdog Harness is connected and
enabled. For stable game operation this procedure must be done correctly. The Watchdog
mechanism allows the game to automatically recover in case a problem is encountered.
Refer to Appendix E for JAMMA pin locations.
1. Locate two JAMMA pin terminated wires originating from the Watchdog Harness on the
kit chassis (Violet and Black).
2. Connect the Violet wire to pin A9 (Coin Lockout 1) on the JAMMA connector.
3. Connect the Black wire to any available ground pin on JAMMA connector at location A1,
A2, B1, B2, A27, A28, B27, B28.
4. Double-check your connection before you proceed. The game will test for this
connection the first time it boots up, and will issue an error message if it fails.
JAMMA Edge Connector
Note: JAMMA Connector should be secured with a strain relief or its harness secured by a cable
clamp close to the JAMMA connector to prevent loose connections. Take care that JAMMA
connector oriented correctly, just in case the polarizing key is missing!

1. Connect the Player 1/Red Gun connector to JAMMA I/O board at connector labeled
“Player 1 Gun”.
2. Connect the Player 2/Blue Gun connector to JAMMA I/O board at connector labeled
“Player 2 Gun”.
3. Double-check your connections before you proceed.
Set DIP Settings for Correct Display Resolution
Note: Game display output resolution is determined by two DIP switch settings on the
JAMMA I/O board. The Kit supports VGA, Medium (EGA) and Standard (CGA) resolutions.
Sync polarity is also determined by two DIP switch settings. Do not use objects that could
damage the DIPswitches such as sharp metal objects.
1. Locate the DIP switch on the JAMMA I/O board.
2. Set DIPSW1, DIPSW2, and DIPSW3 according to the chart in Figure A (next page)
3. Set the initial sync polarity settings (these may need to be altered later)
a. For a VGA monitor, leave both HSYNC and VSYNC in the OFF position.
b. If using CGA or EGA, set both HSYNC and VSYNC to the ON position.
4. Compare your settings to the chart for accuracy.
