DL-480
Adjusting Ticket Dispenser
Owners Manual
The DL-480 is a versatile ticket dispenser. It has both a 4 wire DL-1275 style input and a 6 pin DL-4 style
input. Each input can be independently configured to adjust the ticket payout. The inputs can be
configured to either multiply or divide the payout by a set factor, or to give a fixed quantity of tickets
instead of the normal payout.
Pins 3 and 4 of the DL-4 input can be connected to a coin switch to dispense “mercy tickets” while also
using the DL-1275 input to dispense earned tickets.
The DL-480 inputs and outputs can also be individually configured to use standard or inverted polarity.
Configuration
The DL-480 has 2 push buttons and a set of 4 DIP switches that are used to configure it. Configuration
settings are not changed until the entire procedure is completed. If you make a mistake, remove and
reapply power, and then start over.
1. Connect the DL-480 to the game. Then apply power.
2. To enter programming mode. Press both buttons the same time. The LED will come on.
3. Set the DIP switches for the motor speed as seen by the game and the adjustment mode for the DL-
1275 style input (see Table 1). Most games can use high speed, but some older games may require
standard speed.

10. Press either button to read the DIP switches. The LED will blink faster.
11. Set the DIP switches for signal polarities and security (see Table 5). Then press either button to read
the DIP switches. The polarities feature allows the DL-480 to be used with games which use non-
standard signal polarities to prevent their use with standard ticket dispensers.

Ticket Feed Security
4
Inactive
Active
Pressing either button runs the motor to aid in loading tickets. In some applications this is a security
problem. Creative thieves have found a way to reach the buttons and use them to dispense
unearned tickets. When ticket feed security is active, the buttons do not work for feeding tickets.
See the description of Help mode for the exception to this.
Help Mode
If the DL-480 detects a problem it enters Help mode. In Help mode the LED blinks quickly. The most
common problem is running out of tickets. After fixing the problem, press either button. As long as
power to the game was not removed the DL-480 will then dispense any tickets that are owed.
Ticket feed security is overridden when in Help mode so that tickets can be easily reloaded. This
override expires two minutes after the first button press.
While in Help mode the DL-480 returns signals to the game so that the game does not enter an error
mode. If the game does detect an error then the DL-480 is hooked up incorrectly.
For technical help call (215) 997-8616.
