Introduction
Congratulations with the purchase of your crane with Intelli Technology. We advise you to
read this manual completely so you learn the possibilities and the use of this system.
Different aspects of the game can be set (more about this further in this manual).
Through the LCD display and a few pushbuttons, a lot of information about the functioning of
the system can be displayed. Also a lot of settings can be made and a few test functions can
be activated.
The system can be characterized by 2 essential qualities: on the one hand extremely
powerful grabbers, of which the power can be set quickly and accurate, and on the other
hand the payment regulator that regulates that there is only won what is desired by the
operator.
The operator must know that he can’t take any options or functions in use, which are
against the local security or legal prescriptions.
Principal of operating
There are a few keys that can’t be lost out of sight:
Key 1:
A crane must be made attractive by the right music, light and good-looking toys, etc.
A good-looking crane attracts players and, don’t forget: “If they watch someone playing, they
want to play themselves”!
Very important is to tune the merchandise and the machine. The size of the merchandise
must be adapted to the size of the machine.
Key 2:
A player must fall under the spell of the game trough the fact that the grab can pick up the
merchandise easily, but that he played not accurate enough and wants to try again.
He must have the feeling that he controls the game and that the machine does exactly what
he wants.
Don’t let a persevering player go home with empty hands.
A lot of onlookers have probably followed the game and also want to give it a try.
Key 3:
You must try to find the right proportion between turnover and margins of profit.
Our experience teaches us that a payout-percentage from 25% to 40% gives the best
results.
Even more important: choose the right grab for the chosen merchandise and pay
attention to size and weight.
The course of the game
A player throws in money and gets credits to play.
By means of the buttons or joystick, he can move the gantry above the playfield.
When he lets the button go exactly above the chosen object (or when the fire button of the
joystick is pushed), the grab is going down and takes the object with the set power.
The player wins when the merchandise falls right into the prize hole.
Different aspects of the game can be set (look further in this manual).

6
Result-oriented operating
We assume that your machine is completely set to your wishes. If this is not the case, go to
“settings”(further in this manual).
Evaluation of the payout
In the menu “pay-out information (displays automatic by staring up the machine) you can see
the results of your crane during a short time and compare it with the expected result “current
percentage xx%” and “set percentage xx%”.
Through the changing win-results, as a result of the random strong grabbing, as well as the
skill of the player, this percentage can fluctuate considerably.
The payout regulator, which recalculates the result after every “win”, must be capable of
approaching the set percentage.
Grabsuccess
This indicates in which extent a winning game leads to a prize.
A grab-success of 100% is perfect. For each game with higher pick up power; a “win” is
registered. Values between 80 and 120% are fine.
Extremely high values indicate a too strong grab; extremely low values indicate a too weak
grab. This can be the result of bad adjusting.
Cashboxes
By emptying the crane menu ‘CASHBOXES’ indicates separately the contents of the different
compartments. These meters are used to check the emptying of the cashboxes.
Besides the coin-meter there is the bill-meter that can be used for bills, tokens or credit
cards. The unit of the meter is not always the same as the monetary unit. Although every
coin-entry has a money value, some coin-entries can be set with a different unit (e.g pieces).
After emptying the cashbox, the meters can be copied and/or cleared.
Accounts
To evaluate a long-term result, an accounting is kept. It makes it possible to measure during
a certain period of time. The manager can determine the period (for example a season or a
fair). It allows the manager to settle up with the operator.
To avoid fraud, there is a warning when the mechanic meters can’t be changed. The number
of errors is indicated in diagnostics. These can only be cleared together with the accounts.
Also changes in the settings, which can influence the result of the mechanic meters, give an
error! The accounts are used to check the earnings on a long term.
You can clear the cashboxes daily, but let the accounts counting
Mechanical counters
Can’t be cleared.
Each time when the controller can’t add the mechanical an error message will appear, this to
prevent fraud. The number of error messages will be reported in the diagnostics, they only
can be cleared together with the accounts.
Also changes in settings that have influence on the result of the mechanical counters will
report an error message.

7
Maintenance
A key-locked door gives access to the maintenance area. Hand this key to your operator
and/or maintenance personnel for filling up the machine with prizes or for cleaning purposes.
The machine can stay powered for these operations. However, beware of the (possibly)
moving claw.
Cleaning
Always use dry or humid clothe for cleaning. Never use water or wet material. This might
cause damage to parts or ingression of water may cause malfunction or dangerous
situations.
Fill up the crane
Try to keep in kind of merchandise in one playfield.
Same form, weight and price make the adjusting a lot easier and the payout more precisely.
Adjust the crane on the popular merchandise, if you use a mixture of merchandise.
You don’t have to change the settings if you fill up the crane with comparable merchandise.
Attention: changes of a few percent in claw set-up can have big differs as
consequence.

Working with the Intelli Programmer
•The arrows “up” and “down” (1) are used to pass through the different menus and
settings.
•The “Select” button (2) is used to open or close the different menus or to do specific
actions, like clear counters.
• With the “Help” –button (3) can you get more information about each setting.
•Under specific circumstances are there possibility’s to test the set values by pressing
“Test” –button (4).
• The buttons“-“ en “+” (5) are for changing values.
This “i” indicates that the opposite line shows only information.
This value is unchangeable.
This “T” indicates a test function. Press to activate.
This “S” indicates a function. Press to activate.
If this is the opposite of a title or a menu, than you go back to the main menu.

The crane is controlled electronically, but that doesn’t means that it adjusts automatically.
The most imported link is, and stays, the manager.
You can adjust the crane by settings desired by the managers and players.
The programmer (see picture on last page) makes it easy to adjust.
You walk through the different menus that are mutually linked, and adjust them by a simple
push on a button. The settings appear immediately on the display.
Take your time to go completely trough the settings with this manual.
Check if all credits are played. Clear the remaining credits with the function “recalibrate” in
the menu “payout information”.
Go to the menu “DEFAULT SETTINGS” (on the bottom of the main menu).
Choose your country or continent or one that joins closest to your currency or legal
regulation. Load this setting by pressing “S”.
Change your language if required, before quitting the menu “ language…x” and “#decimals”
Overview menu
There could be some small differences in relation to your program depending on your local
legislation.
Intelligrab Identification of the program.
Here you find the machine type, version, revision number
and date. This information is the most important for the
technical department.
Intelli link address: every playfield in an intelli network has a unique
number that can be set in this menu. 1 is the standard
number and if this is 0 than it will not be recognised as
present in the link.
remote language: the language used on the PC can be different from the language used on
the controller. You can choose the same languages as in the standard settings.
Accounts total out: total of won merchandise, expressed in terms of
money.
total in: total receipts, expressed in terms of money
payout: amount of payout merchandise expressed in
percentage
#tot. wins: number of won prizes.
#tot refill: number of prizes that were filled since the last
reset.
The accounts are used as “long term counters”. You can
check the results on a certain period. They can be used as a base for the payment between
manager and owner. Clear the accounts by placing the cursor next to the line “clear
accounts” and press “S”.
acc security: when this option is activated, the accounting will no longer be visual or will be
erased through the Programmer. You have to use the Intelli Link to look at or to erase the
accounting. The PC can only switch off this option.

bonus till win: pick up power until next win
stand-by: with this function you can put the playfield in
stand by. It’s impossible to insert money and on the display you see 2 bars lighting up.
free game mode: if this function is on, you can play without inserting any money. This has
no influence on the counters.
Claw-settings pick up power: the power of the closing grabber
retaining power: the retained power
indicator: indicates how powerful the grabber is closed
(0% or x% pick up power or x% retaining power)
pick up time: the time that the pick up power lasts. After
this time, the pick up power decreases to the retaining
power.
random pick up: if this function is on, the set pick up time
will be increased with 0.1 up to 0.5 sec.
casual win: indicates the number of prizes that were still
won in a game with reduced grab power. (a high percentage of 20% or more indicates a
holding power that is too high).
test normal game: free credit, with this function you can play a game like you should play a
game by inserting money. This is used to adjust the crane.
test pick up game: free credit, play a complete game with pick up power.

Payout information current perc: the percentage that is already paid out.
“Money in” and “prize out” automatically calculate this
percentage. This is information, so not adjustable.
set perc: the desired pay out percentage. This is not
directly settable, but “est. price out” and products cost”
calculate this percentage (pay out is minimum 20% and
maximum 50%). When ERR% occurs, it means that the
asking price is to high/low compared to the game price.
The regulator is no longer active. The machine will only
continue to play with retaining power.
est. price out: vending price: how much the merchandise has to bring in. This has to be
between 4 and 120 times the game price. For example. Game price = € 0,50 the minimum
asking price = € 2,00 and the maximum asking price = € 60,00.
products cost: purchase price: the cost of the merchandise.
grabsucces: indicates which percentage of the potential winning games is used.
If there is a win for each game with pick up power, then the crane is perfectly adjusted
(grabsucces = 100%) Values between 80% and 120% are fine.
win xx games ago: indicates how many games are played after the last winning game.
calibrate: clearing the payout regulator: no money in, no merchandise out. If you make some
changes in the settings, than you have to re-calibrate. This has no influence on the counters.
This function clears also the remaining credits.
Credit values fixed value: by enabling, you can set a fixed value for
each game. By disabling, you can choose the amount of
credits/insert or inserts/credit per channel.
game price: value of a game if ‘fixed value’ is activated
bonus level: if you reach this mount of value, you get an
extra credit. (only possible if ‘fixed value’ is activated)
reference channel: the channel that is most used.
F. ex. if € 0.5 is the basic price of a game, than we set it on
2 (because € 0.5 is programmed on the 2
nd
channel of the
coin acceptor).
At the last 7 lines ( 7 channels for coins/ bills) you can give
the number of credits per coin/ bill. The first 4 are always
for coins, the 5
th
and 6
th
channel can be used for coins or
bills. The 7
th
channel is always a bill.
Coin values To adjust the value of a coin for each channel.
Coin 1 is equal to the first channel of the coin acceptor.
Always mark the real value, even if this channel represents
a coin or a bill.
meter divider: the value of a pulse to the mechanical
counters. F.ex: if ‘1’ is marked, then 1 pulse will be given
to the counters by each Euro. A 2 Euro coin will count 2
units on the counter. The amount you see will be the
amount in Euros.
Coin 5 en 6 can be used for coins or bills, depending on the setting “bill/ token values”

bill 2 indic: the indicated value of a bill/ coin/ token
bill 3 value: value of bill/ coin/ token
bill 3 indic: the indicated value of a bill/ coin/ token
meter divider: the value of a pulse to the mechanical
counters
F.ex: if ‘1’ is marked, then 1 pulse will be given to the
counters by each Euro. The amount you see will be the amount in Euro.
The indicative value is only important for the mechanical counters and the cashboxes.
F.ex. When “bill value” is adjust to 5.0 (a 5 Euro note) and you adjust bill indic. to 1, than 5
Euro will be counted for the payout regulator and accounts, but in cashboxes and mechanical
counters only 1 will be counted. You now directly the number of bills without taking cares of
the value.
Bill 1 is always a bill (channel 7), for bill 2 and 3 you can choose between a bill, coin or token.
To make the difference between this, you have to adjust the value on 0 for coins or tokens,
then it will be automatic be counted the coin meter. If you set a value here, than it will be
counted to the bill meter.
Game settings game time: the maximum playtime. This time starts from
the moment that the first move is made.
4 directions: to make the distinguish between
pushbuttons (off) and joystick (on)
commande mode: to change the command mode of the
gantry, depending on the position of the price hole
(standard = 0).

point. From this point on you can play (only for joystick).
Programming the start point of the gantry:
•Place the cursor on the line “carriage jump” and press
“T”.
•Place the gantry manual or by means of the joystick on the desired place and press the
fire button.
•The gantry will come back and the start position of the gantry is adjusted.

traditional return.
stop and drop: here you adjust how far the claw goes down before it opens. At 0 the claw
opens directly when it arrives at the start position.
smart detector: when this option is switched off, the detector will be taken into account.
When it’s switched on, there will only be detection when the crane is active.
credit limit: coin and bill acceptor will be disabled when you reach this limit. If you go under
this limit, the coin and bill acceptor are again enabled.

Adjusting
Remark: it is not possible to work with merchandise that contains magnetic materials
because of the permanent magnetism of the axe.
This will stick on the axe!
After you choose the correct claw for the merchandise, you can do as follows:
Go to the menu “CLAW SETTINGS”.
Start with the setting “pick up power…..70%” and “retaining power…..35%” (default settings)
First adjust the “retaining power “ like this:
•Hold the merchandise in the claw, and press de test button.
•The claw will close
•Adjust the power in a way that the merchandise slips out the claw.
•Increase the retaining power with the “+” button and decrease the retaining power
with the “–“ button.
•Be aware that this is only approximately. You will see that you still have to adjust a bit
when you are playing.
Adjust the “pick up power” like this:
•Start with the double of the retaining power.
•Hold the merchandise in the claw.
•Press “test” and the claw will close.
•The claw has to hold the merchandise easily otherwise you have to increase the
pickup-power a little.
Remark:
We advise you not to use the maximum pickup-power if it’s not necessary.
If you use only the power you need you will have a nice game.
Than adjust the ”pick up time”:
•This time indicates how long the pick up power keeps on. After this time the pickup
power turns over to retaining power.
•You can adjust with this setting how high the merchandise may be picked up before it
drops.
•By enabling “random pick up” the pick up time will increase with a random time
between 0.1 and 0.5 seconds. If you want to use this option, adjust the crane without
this option. If you have the correct pickup-time, than decrease the pickup-time with
0.5 sec and activate this function, F. ex. if the pickup-time is adjusted to 1.2 sec, than
it will be increased with 0.5 sec. We than activate this function. The pickup-time will
now fluctuate between 0.7 and 1.2 sec.
•Each game will be different like this. The merchandise falls down on different
moments/heights.
It is important to play several games. That way you can see if the crane is adjusted to your
wishes. You can use “test normal game” (basically the merchandise may not be won) and
“test pick up game”(basically the merchandise will be won) for this. Most of the games have
to be played with “ test normal game”, because basically you may not win. This is the most
important way to check if the desired game is achieved.
There will be no wins registered during these test games, neither has this influence on the
counters or regulator. You can also change the value of the claw power immediately and
follow the change between “pick up” and “retaining power” on the information line “Indicator”.
