SAFETY AND WARNINGS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING THIS GAME, A GROUNDED A.C. RECEPTACLE MUST BE USED.
FAILURE 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
WARRANTY.
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
OTHER 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. Removing 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.
THIS GAME IS NOT SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION IN AN AREA WHERE A WATER JET COULD BE
USED.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
AC Power Information
The games main fuse is accessed through the back of the game at the power mod. Above the
power cord is a small panel that contains the main fuse.
The value of the fuse for 120 volt users is 8 AMPS at 250Volt type slow blow.

The object of the game is to hit targets to score the most points possible using multipliers to increase
your score. The game can be played in either single training mode or competitive mode.
Points of the game:
● Arena Jumbotron - Players can compare their scores in competitive mode against others.
● Moving Targets - Red and Blue targets holes allow for point multipliers.
● LED RGB Tower - Attracts players to the game.
● Real Dodge ball – 24 real licensed dodge balls are used.
● Single or competition mode - Up to four players can join in, 2 on each side
● Power Requirements: 110v cabinet 8 AMPS, 220v cabinet 4 Amps required.
Theory of Operation:
The game has one main board (DB2034X) that has dual channel communication in a single wired
connection to communicate with the upper jumbotron display, the many target boards, and the two
player communication boards. Either of the four RJ45 connectors can be used. This board controls
the NEOPIXELS at P14 and RGB LED’s at P5 and P9 for the deluxe marquee model. J3 is the
audio line level out to the FE2006 amplifier. P15 controls two actuators wired in parallel using +12
volts.
Players and operators interact to the game through the DB2135X boards. Both boards have
dipswitches to configure which side (red or blue) they are installed in. Each board has two
communication connections at J2 and J4. They are RJ45 standard connections. P3 is used for the
UCL connection, coins, and ticket controls. P1 is used for Solo LEDs/button and Comp LED/button.
J6 has right LED/button and left LED/button connections. Both DB2135X boards (blue/left and red/
right) have the operator controls to program, see audits, enter diagnostics or reset settings. PROG,
SEL, UP, and DOWN buttons are used at blue side (left). The player buttons are also used during
Diagnostic, audits, and reset menus.
The jumbotron display is driven by WH2236X board. This board contains the programmed graphics
and texted used on the jumbotron. Twelve E01357 Dot matrix boards make up the display 6 per.
P1 and P2 connections drive the panels, 6 panels per assembly. A separate +5 VDC harness
powers the array which is fused by 6 amp Fast Blo located under the playfield accessed through a
panel.
The target boards (DB2033X) are linked in a daisy chain configuration. Each run connects to the
next target board. This is NOT is sequence to their locations. RJ45 connectors are color coded to
prevent the ability to loop back any chain connection. On power up, all target boards will report in to
the main board. Any board that does not respond will result in a COM error. Depending on their
location determines which connectors are used. In every configuration, P4 drives any display used.
P3 has RGB control, optic sensors, and switch inputs depending on location. P2 is for the target
motors (GF2008X) or the swing arm motor (FB2009DBX). J5 has more LED controls. A separate
+12 VDC harness powers all target boards and are fused by 6 AMP Fast Blo fuse either in the
playfield floor or at the front of the game.
All circuit boards can be upgraded by the operator with special files you copy onto a SDCARD. No
more swapping boards for program changes!
