SAFETY AND WARNINGS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING THIS GAME, A GROUNDED A.C. RECEPTACLE MUST BE USED. FAIL-
URE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS. FAILURE TO USE A
GROUNDED RECEPTACLE COULD ALSO CAUSE IMPROPER GAME OPERATION, OR DAMAGE TO
THE ELECTRONICS.
NOTE: THIS GAME IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG ON THE POWER CORD FOR THE SAME
REASON AS GIVEN ABOVE. USING AN IMPROPERLY GROUNDED GAME COULD VOID YOUR WAR-
RANTY.
HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK YOUR A.C. RECEPTACLE TO BE SURE THE GROUND IS
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
THIS GAME IS DESIGNED TO DISSIPATE STATIC ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE GROUNDING PLANE
OF THE GAME. IF THE A.C. GROUND DOES NOT WORK, THE GAME COULD DISCHARGE STATIC
ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE GAME CIRCUITRY, WHICH COULD CAUSE DAMAGE.
THE POWER SUPPLY IS NOT VOLTAGE ADJUSTABLE. TO OPERATE THE GAME AT VOLTAGES OTH-
ER THAN THOSE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR. PLEASE CONTACT OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR
VOLTAGE CONVERSION INFORMATION.
WARNING
DO NOT remove any of the components on the main board (e.g. compact flash and eproms) while
the game is powered on. This may cause permanent damage to the parts and the main board. Re-
moving any main board component part while powered on will void the warranty.
ALWAYS REMOVE POWER TO THE GAME, BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE,
UNLESS NEEDED FOR SPECIFIC TESTING. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.

The Ball Gate Assembly: Technical Informaon
Two half-moons aached together and connected to a single motor. The posion of the le half-moon is
sensed by two reed switches. A small magnet is located under the le moon. When the reed switch is
acvated, it will be at 0 VDC, the other will be opposite, +5 VDC.
On the main board at J14, pins 1 and 2 supply the voltage to the ball gate motor. Pins 3 and 4 are the sense
lines used to determine the posion of the ball gate. Located underneath the le side of the ball gate is a
magnet. When the gate is closed this magnet acvates the sensor aached to pin 3 taking the signal to
ground. Pin 4 will be at +5 VDC. When the gate opens, pin 4 will go to ground and pin 3 will have +5 VDC on
it.
If the magnet sensors are not ush to the wood surface, the magnet will not acvate the sensor causing the
ball gate to move pass the closed or open posion. When this occurs, the ball gate will shut down and only a
power cycle will allow the ball gate to work again.
If aer checking that the ball gate is not having a sensor problem, look at the linkage for any of the Grubb
screws that might have goen loose. Also look at the connector rod and make sure it is sloed and not
rounded out.
** Note ** If the game doesn’t see the open or close reed switches it will open the ball gate and not
aempt to run the ball gate motor again unl you power cycle the game.
Reed switch embeds into the wood instead of being at the surface.

Ball-gate sensors Operaon
There are two magnec sensors located under the primary ball gate assembly. The primary ball gate assembly has a magnec
aached underneath so that when the assembly rotates it will pass over one of the two sensors. When the ball gate assembly
moves counter clock-wise, it will pass over the sensor for the closed posion and stop the assembly. When the ball gate assembly
rotates clock-wise, it will pass over the sensor for the open posion and stop the assembly. Using a volt meter, when the magnet
passes over either of the sensors, that sensor will have no voltage present. When the magnet is not over the sensor it should read
+5 volt of DC power. With the power o on the game, the sensor is normally open.
** WARNING ** Never manually move the Primary Ball Gate assembly as damage will occur to the motor gearbox assembly below.
Ball-gate sensors Access
Remove the two screws that hold the gate cam to the Primary Ball gate assembly. Slide the Primary Ball gate assembly out.

Ball-gate sensors Removal
To remove a sensor, disconnect the two pin connector. Then unscrew the e-wrap and push the sensor out. To install a replace-
ment sensor, insert the connector from the top through the hole and push rmly down. Aach the wire harness and re-install the
wire e.
