System 3 contains many new features which improve game play
and reliability. Some of these features are as follows:
1) New lithium battery provides data retention for a
minimum of
5 years under normal operation and
virtually eliminates battery leakage. Also a low
battery warning is given in the displays when the
voltage drops to the critical level.
2) New interlocking connector system for improved
reliability.
3) Use of High Speed CMOS technology for low power
consumption and cooler operation.
4) Improved solenoid driver reliability due to simplified
circuitry and the use of Rugged Power MOSFETS.
5) Lamp short protection.
6) Switch matrix input protection.
7) Easy line voltage adjustment on location.
8) Improved bookkeeping functions.
9) New 128 x 32 Dot Matrix Display.
10) Capability for operators to enter their own messages
in the attract mode.
11) Use of new SMART S~~~~H(tm)technologywhich eliminates
the use of contact points on switches. Therefore the
need for cleaning dirty switches is eliminated.
12) Addition of a Tournament Mode switch which allows aquick
and easy way to replace current adjustment settings with
special settings. This switch also provides an easy way
to set the game for free play.

C. COINMETER (OPTIONAL)
A +12vdc mechanical coin meter may be
installed by the operator to count
total coins accepted by the machine.
The coin meter leads should be
soldered to the lugs on the terminal
strip mounted inside the front door on
the right side (see Figure 1). If the
coin meter is polarized, the positive
lead (red) should be attached to the
lug that has the cathode (banded) side
of the diode attached to it otherwise
the leads may be attached in any
order. The COIN METER adjustment must
be set to on and the following four
adjustments should be set to the
number of pulses (counts) required
for each coin denomination used.
NOTE: Make sure that the GAME MODE
adjustment is not set to either REPLAY
+ TICKETS or TICKETS ONLY (see Game
Adjustments section)

D. TICKET DISPENSER (OPTIONAL)
This machine is equipped to easily
interface to the Deltronic Labs
TDOM-10-S-S ticket dispenser. To
install the dispenser, first locate
the five partially drilled holes on
the inside of the cabinet on the right
side (see Figure 1)
. The four tlAtl
holes are for mounting the cabinet
with #10
X 1-314" carriage bolts. The
ttBtthole is for cable access to the
unit. Drill the ttAttholes out from the
inside of the cabinet using a 13/64"
drill bit. Drill the l1Bl1hole out from
the inside of the cabinet using a ltt
drill bit. In the game envelope you
will find template #30213 for a 1/2It
plywood spacer to be used between the
outside of the game cabinet and the
dispenser cabinet so that the
dispenser will clear the leg on the
game when opened for loading tickets.
The GAME MODE adjustment is used to
set whether to dispense a number of
tickets along with each replay awarded
(REPLAY
+ TICKETS) or to dispense a
number of tickets in place of each
replay awarded (TICKETS ONLY). The
TICKETS TO AWARD adjustment is used to
set the number of tickets to dispense
for each replay awarded (see Game
Adjustments section).
NOTE: Make sure that the COIN METER
adjustment is set to off when using a
ticket dispenser.
E. BILLACCEPTOR (OPTIONAL)
The MARS VFM2-L1 bill acceptor can be
easily interfaced to this machine. The
unit can easily be mounted to the
front door by removing the existing
cover plate and bolting the unit to
the door. There is also a connector
provided on the front door which
directly interfaces to the bill
acceptor. The game is set at the
factory to give the proper amount of
credits with the bill acceptor set to
output one pulse per dollar. In order
to change this configuration, the
GAME
PRICING adjustment will need to have a
CUSTOM value entered. Other bill
acceptors may also be interfaced to
the game but may require a different
mounting or wiring configuration.
F. COMMUNICATIONSADAPTER
(OPTIONAL)
A kit (MA-1940) may be purchased
through your distributor which will
allow the system to output ~ookkeeping
data to a serial printer.

There are several functions accessible
to the operator while in the test
mode. These functions are Self-Test,
Bookkeeping, Game Adjustments, and
utilities. Each of these functions
will be explained in detail later in
this section. To enter the test mode,
the game must be in the attract mode
(game over). Then depress the Test
button located just inside the front
door of the game. The operator will
then be given a choice as to which
function he wants to access. Use the
left flfpper button to choose
(highlight) the function desired and
then either the Test button or the
right flipper button to enter
the chosen function.
NOTE: The Test button may be held in
to fast forward through the steps of
a particular function.
To exit the test mode or change
functions the Slam switch (front
door) must be activated or the power
must be turned off.
I. SELF-TEST
This function will allow the operator
to test all the hardware related
devices in the game. Each test is
described below. In most cases the
Credit button can be used to restart
each test (see
Testmode Flowchart).
A, MEMORYTEST
t his function tests all memory
devices on the Control Board (Al). If
all the devices pass the test an ltOKtt
will be displayed. If a failure
occurs, a description of the faulty
component will be displayed. Then
after a short period of time the Game
Prom check sum will be displayed.
B. LAMPCHECK
This function will flash all the
controlled lamps and flasher lamps
continuously. This will allow the
operator to easily check for and
replace any burned out light bulbs.
C. LAMPMATRIX TEST
his test will allow an operator to
single step through and check the
operation of each lamp in the game.
The left flipper button will
decrement the active lamp number by
one while the right flipper button
will increment the active lamp number
by one. The strobe number and the
return number are combined to form
the lamp number (strobe,return) which
is shown in the display along with a
description of the lamp. Only one
lamp at a time should flash during
this test.
D. RELAYANDSOLENOIDTEST
This test will allow an operator to
single step through and check the
operation of each relay and solenoid
driver in the game. The left and
right flipper buttons are used to
change the active driver number. The
selected driver description and
number will appear in the display.
The Credit button is then used to
activate the driver for a short time
period. Solenoid #31 ("Qtlrelay) is
always on during this test so as to
provide power to devices such as the
pop bumpers and kicking rubbers (see
Playboard Schematic Diagram).
E. SWITCH MATRIXTEST
The first part of this test will
report any switch(s) which have not
been operated in the course of the
last 15 games (INOPERATIVE SWITCHES).
The second part of the test will
report any switch(s) which are stuck
closed. If no switches are closed when
this test is started, the message "ALL
SWITCHES OPENt1will be displayed. If
any switches are closed, the closed
switch(s) name and number will
continuously be displayed. The strobe
number and the return number are
combined to form the switch number
(strobe,return). The Credit button can
be used to restart this test.
F. SWITCH EDGES TEST
This test will display the name and
number of any switch that is actuated.
When actuating each switch, a problem
exists if either no switch is shown or
any switch other than the one actuated
is displayed.
G. DISPLAYTEST
This test checks the operation of the
128 x 32 dot matrix display. The right
flipper button is used to advance this

test. The first two steps check the
different levels of display intensity.
Tach block that appears on the display
hould be of lesser intensity than the
one to the left of it. During the next
four steps a diagonal pattern is
stepped from left to right in the
display. While in this part of the
test every fourth pixel only in each
row of dots should be lit. During the
next eight steps another diagonal
pattern is stepped from left to right
in the display. while in this part of
the test every eighth pixel only in
each row of dots should be lit.
H. SOUNDTEST
This test checks the interface lines
from the Control Board (Al) to the
Sound Board (A6). Every time the right
flipper button is pressed, a different
tone should be heard. During each
tone, the sound line connection which
is being tested will be shown in the
display. After the tone stops the

used to restart the test.
J. FRONTDOORTEST
This test checks the operation of the
coin chutes used in the game.
Utilizing this function will not
affect any bookkeeping values. Each
coin chute closure is categorized and
shown in the display.
II. BOOKKEEPING
The Test button is used to step
through bookkeeping. The display will
contain a description of each step,
the step number, and two different
bookkeeping values. The value in the
leftmost column represents long term
bookkeeping. The value in the
rightmost column (in brackets)
represents short term bookkeeping.
These two values are provided so that
the operator may compare recent
performance with long term
performance and then make any
necessary game adjustments.
NOTE: The left column of steps
1
(earnings) and 17-20 (coin chute
counts) will not be displayed unless
the credit button is pressed during
that active step number.
The left flipper button will allow
the operator to reset all of the left
(long term) and right (short term)
bookkeeping values. The right flipper
button will allow the operator to
reset all of the right (short term)
bookkeeping values only. If the
R.BOOK AUTO-RESET adjustment is on,
the right (short term) bookkeeping
will automatically be reset after
every 2000 plays (see Game
Adjustments). Therefore, the operator
does not need to reset the short term
bookkeeping himself unless he prefers
to follow his own procedure. Also,
this feature will aid in adjusting
the game payout percentage to the
caliber of players in different
locations. If there happens to be a
major error in a long term
bookkeeping value the word ERROR
will appear to the right of that
bookkeeping value. To correct this
error the long term bookkeeping must
be reset. A description of each
bookkeeping step is given in the test
mode flowchart.
III. CAMEADJUSTMENTS
This function allows the operator to
make any adjustments to his game as
necessary.
A. FACIDRYSETTINGS
Upon entering the game adjustment
section of bookkeeping, the operator
is given a choice to load all factory
settings or to single step through
the game adjustments and adjust each
section individually. If he chooses

to enter the factory settings by
depressing the Credit button, he will
also be given a choice of what
language to load. By using the right
flipper button he may choose the
appropriate language and then depress
the Credit button again to enter the
settings. After the settings are
loaded the display should show the
message ItFACTORYSETTINGS LOADEDttfor
a short time and then proceed to game
adjustment step 1. At any time during
the previous steps the operator may
either exit the test mode or depress
the Test button to proceed
immediately to game adjustment step 1.
WARNING
Loading the factory settings will
affect all previous game adjustment
settings. Therefore be careful when
selecting this feature.
6. GAMEADJUSTMENTSTEPS
Each time the Test button is pressed
a description of the next step
appears in the display along with the
step number and the current status of
that step. Unless otherwise
specified, the left and right flipper
buttons are used to change the
possible selections in each step.
1) SCORE REPLAY LEVEL 1
2) SCORE REPLAY LEVEL 2
3) SCORE REPLAY LEVEL 3
Each Score Replay Level may be set by
using the left flipper button to
decrement the score and the right
flipper button to increment the
score. The Credit button can be used
to load the factory setting for each
individual level if desired. If the
Auto-Percentaging adjustment is on,
Replay Levels 2
& 3 can only be set
to on or off. If Replay Level 2 is
on, the score level will be set to
two times Replay Level 1. If Replay
Level 3 is on, the score level will
be set to three times Replay Level 1.
This allows the operator several
combinations of levels in the
Auto-Percentaging mode (i.e. 1, 1
& 2,
1
& 3, or 1 & 2 & 3).
4) HIGH GAME TO DATE 1
5) HIGH GAME TO DATE 2
6) HIGH GAME TO DATE 3
7) HIGH GAME TO DATE 4
8) HIGH GAME TO DATE 5
Each High Game To Date may be set by
using the left flipper button to
decrement the score and the right
flipper button to increment the
score. The Credit button can be used
to load the factory setting for the
displayed level and all those
belowit.
9) GAME PRICING
This step provides a choice of
loading a standard setting for a
particular country or a custom
setting. When a standard setting is
selected, the following steps (10-17)
are skipped.
10) CHUTE 1 UNITS (L)
11) CHUTE 2 UNITS (R)
12) CHUTE 3 UNITS (C)
13) CHUTE 4 UNITS
14) UNITS REQUIRED FOR CREDIT
15) UNITS REQUIRED FOR BONUS
16) BONUS CREDITS
17) MINIMUM UNITS REQUIRED FOR CREDIT
Steps 10-17 are used if a custom
setting is selected in step 9 (GAME
PRICING). Steps 10-13 select the
number of units that each chute is
worth when a coin is dropped into
that particular chute. The value
entered for step 14 determines how
many units must be accumulated for a
credit to be issued on the game.
Steps 15 and 16 determine how many
units must be accumulated for any
bonus credits to be issued. A value
of zero entered for step 15 will
disable the bonus feature. Step 17
indicates the number of units
required before any credits are
issued (see Coin Chute Setting Table
for examples)
.
18) COIN METER
If set to ON, the pulses to be given
for each of the four coin chutes can
be defined so that the number of
pulses for a given chute are in
relation to the currency
denomination. If set to OFF, steps
19-22 will be skipped.
19) CHUTE 1 PULSES
20) CHUTE 2 PULSES
21) CHUTE 3 PULSES
22) CHUTE 4 PULSES
The four steps above are used to set

the number of pulses to be issued for
each of the four coin chutes.
23) COIN DOOR TYPE
This step provides a choice of
loading a standard setting for a
particular country or a custom
setting. When a standard setting is
selected, the following steps (24-28)
are skipped.
24) COLLECTION TEXT
25) CHUTE 1 VALUE
26) CHUTE 2 VALUE
27) CHUTE
3 VALUE
28) CHUTE
4 VALUE
Step 24 is used to enter the name of
the currency in use. The remaining
four steps are used to set the
monetary value of each coin chute.
29) GAME BUY-IN BONUS
At the end of a game, if enabled, a
10-second timer is initialized
allowing each player that participated
in the previous game a chance to
purchase
1 credit for either 1 or 2
coins.
30) EXTENDED PLAY
At the end of a player's last ball in
play, if enabled, a 10-second timer is
initialized allowing the player to
continue playing his current game by
inserting either 1 or 2 coins for one
extra ball.
31) EXTENDED PLAY MAXIMUM
This step sets the maximum number of
extra balls a player may purchase in
any one game when the EXTENDED PLAY
feature is enabled. In a multiple
player game, each player can only
purchase one ball so this step will
have no effect.
32) EXTENDED PLAY CHUTE(S)
This step sets which coin chute(s)
will be enabled toward purchasing a
game if step 29 is enabled and/or an
extra ball if step
30 is enabled. A
coin dropped in any other chute will
be used toward purchasing a new game.
33) GAME PERCENT PAYOUT
This step is used to set the game
payout percentage used when the
Auto-Percentaging adjustment is on.
The value entered for this step is
compared to the value calculated by
dividing total replays by total plays
(see Bookkeeping section). Total
replays include all replays won from
beating the score replay level,
achieving a new high game to date,
winning a playfield special, and all
match replays.
When the GAME MODE adjustment is set
to Add a Ball this setting refers to
extra ball percentage rather than
replay percentage. The value entered
in this case will be compared to the
value calculated by dividing total
extra balls won by total plays (see
Bookkeeping section).
34) MATCH PERCENT PAYOUT
This step is used to set the match
payout percentage. If this step is
set to zero, the match will be
disabled.
NOTE: The MATCH PERCENT PAYOUT value
is included in the value entered for
GAME PERCENT PAYOUT (step
#33).
Therefore in order to retain the same
payout percentage for the other payout
features in the game such as score
level replays, the GAME PERCENT PAYOUT
will be automatically adjusted by the
same amount as this step when changed.
35) HIGH GAME REPLAYS
This step is used to set the number
of replays to award when the highest
game to date has been beaten.
36) MAXIMUM CREDITS
This step sets the maximum number
of credits allowed on the game.
37) TILT WARNINGS
his step sets the number of tilts
allowed before the current player's
ball in play is terminated.
38) BALLS PER GAME
This step sets the number of balls
per game to
1-5.
39) GAME MODE
This step allows the game to be
played in Replay, Replay
+ Tickets,
Tickets Only, Add a Ball, or Novelty
mode. In Replay mode all Specials and
replays are allowed. Replay
+ Tickets
mode is the same as Replay mode with
the addition of one or more tickets
to be issued (TICKETS TO AWARD) along
10
