FEATURES
Thank you for your purchase of the HOOP FEVER™
BONUS MARQUEE. This marquee will help
increase player interest as well as increase earnings
from your games.
The idea behind the marquee is to dispense a large
amount of tickets, when a predetermined score has
been matched or beaten. The idea of a “Ticket
Bonus” is a well proven idea in the redemption
market.
The marquee is fully operator adjustable for the
amount of tickets dispensed, as well as the scores to
beat and many other selectable settings. (See the
programming section for further details)
The marquee also employs its own bonus alarm
sound and is fully volume adjustable.
All programming can be done remotely through the
host games. This makes it unnecessary to climb on
top of the games or take things apart to change bo-
nus settings.
The game also has a unique “Sleep” mode. This will
make the marquee appear to be off if all of the host
games have been turned off. This mode will enable
about 20 seconds after the last game has been
turned off.
All of these unique features are possible due to our
advanced proprietary software implementation. This
software reduces the amount of electronic hardware
needed to operate the marquee as well as offer pro-
gramming and feature flexibility that would be impos-
sible if done through hardware alone.

INSTALLATION, BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL
ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, ESPE-
CIALLY WHEN WORKING WITH DEVICES THAT
HAVE HIGH VOLTAGES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
GOOD SAFETY PROCEDURES COULD RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY TO YOURSELF, OTHERS
OR THE PRODUCT.
THIS DEVICE OPERATES ON EITHER VOLTAGE:
110 OR 220 VOLTS A.C. BE SURE THE GAME IS
SET TO OPERATE AT THE PROPER VOLTAGE
BEFORE PLUGGING INTO AN A.C. RECEPTA-
CLE. (220 VOLT MARQUEES WILL BE LABELED
SO ON THE SERIAL NUMBER BARCODE LABEL.
ONLY USE A GROUNDED A.C. RECEPTACLE ON
THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO USE A GROUNDED
RECEPTACLE ON THIS PRODUCT COULD RE-
SULT IN SERIOUS MALFUNCTION OF THE
PRODUCT DUE TO ELECTROSTATIC DIS-
CHARGE (STATIC ELECTRICITY), POSSIBLY RE-
SULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE UNIT. MARQUEES
NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED WILL NOT BE COV-
ERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR ANY ELEC-
TRONIC RELATED DAMAGE.
TOOLS NEEDED
Before you start, you will need the following items:
• 7/16” Combination Wrench
• 7/16” Deep Well Socket
• Ratchet
• Side Cutters
• Drill with 3/8” capacity
• 3/8 Drill Bit
HARDWARE KIT CONTENTS
(Odd Number Of Games)
• 4 1/4-20 X 1” Hex Head Bolts
• 4 1/4-20 X 1 1/4” Hex Head Bolts
• 4 1/4-20 X 1 1/2” Hex Head Bolts
• 2 1/4-20 X 1 3/4” Hex Head Bolts
• 24 1/4 Flat Washers
• 10 1/4-20 Nylock Nuts
(Even Number Of Games)
• 4 1/4-20 X 1” Hex Head Bolts
• 8 1/4-20 X 1 1/4” Hex Head Bolts
• 4 1/4-20 X 1 1/2” Hex Head Bolts
• 4 1/4-20 X 1 3/4” Hex Head Bolts
• 36 1/4 Flat Washers
• 16 1/4-20 Nylock Nuts
ATTACHING THE MARQUEE
The bonus marquee can only be used on games that
utilize the “Linking” feature. All games using the link-
ing feature come with a “Beacon” light as part of the
package. The beacon lights are mounted to the tops
of the games on plywood mounting panels. The bo-
nus marquee will be mounted to these panels.
The following instructions are for both, an even or
odd number of games. When an odd number of
games are present, the Beacon Light Mounting
Board is attached across the top of one game. When
an even number of games are present, two Beacon
Light Mounting boards are used. They are installed
in the same manner as for odd number of games.
The only difference being that the Bonus Marquee
“straddles” the games.
Begin installation by positioning each bracket so that
the wide flange is facing the inside of the game. At-
tach one bracket to the top of each fence, using two
1/4-20 X 1 3/4” long hex head bolts, washers and
Nylock nuts. Tighten all bolts securely.
(See Fig. 1)

SET - UP
The Beacon Light mounting board may now be at-
tached to the brackets using 1/4-20 X 1 1/4” long
hex head bolts, washers and hex nuts. Tighten all
bolts securely. (See Fig. 2)
The next step is to mount the 2 support brackets to
the back of the marquee. Position the support brack-
ets on the back side of the Marquee by aligning the
holes in the support brackets with the holes in the
back of the marquee. Be sure that the flanges with-
out holes, are facing toward the outside of the Mar-
quee.
Attach the support brackets to the Marquee using
1/4-20 X 1” long hex head bolts and washers.
Tighten all bolts securely. (See Fig. 3)
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE PER-
FORMED BY 2 PERSONS. IT COULD BE VERY
DANGEROUS FOR 1 PERSON TO ATTEMPT IN-
STALLATION OF THE MARQUEE TO THE BEA-
CON BOARD ALONE.
ODD NUMBER OF GAMES
INSTALLATION
Lift the Marquee to the top of the game frames. Cen-
ter the Marquee on the top of the Beacon Light
mounting board, front to back and side to side.
While one person holds the Marquee, the other per-
son should drill 3/8” holes through the support
bracket flanges and the Beacon Light mounting
panel.
Attach the Marquee to the Beacon Board using 1/4-
20 X 1 1/2” long hex head bolts, washers and Nylock
hex nuts. Tighten all bolts securely.

EVEN NUMBER OF GAMES INSTALLATION
Plug the telephone cord from the Main PC Board
into the jack on the rear of the Marquee.
Install the 20 ft. power cord into the rear of the Mar-
quee. DO NOT PLUG INTO THE AC RECEPTACLE
UNTIL THE TIE WRAPS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED
AND TRIMMED.
Secure the power cord and the phone cord to the
frame, running the wiring to the rear of the frame
and then down. Secure the cords with the tie wraps
supplied and trim.
Plug the marquee into the proper AC receptacle.
Refer to the “Marquee Programming” section of this
manual to complete the installation.

PROGRAMMING
STATION I.D.
Since the Marquee communicates with the game (s),
it must have a unique “STATION IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER” so it can communicate properly. If you
have 1 Marquee the number for this option should
be set to “14”. If you use 2 Marquees, one of them
should be set to “14” and the other should be set to
“15”. The default for this option is “14”.
DEFAULTS
Activating this option will reset all of the factory de-
fault mode values. Set a “1” to activate this option.
Once activated, all values will reset to factory, and
this option value will automatically return to “0”.
(retain custom settings) The default value for this
option is “0”.

TROUBLESHOOTING
OVERVIEW
The following section will give you information on quick
troubleshooting of the Marquee as well as detailed re-
pair procedures. Since the Marquee is all electronic,
and quite simple, any repair should be easy to accom-
plish. Please keep in mind that these directions will
apply to the basic Marquee and that there may be
many variations for different game applications. All
Marquee variations basically work the same. Please
read all of the notes and warnings carefully given
throughout this section.
WARNING: EXERCISE CAUTION WHENEVER
WORKING WITH ELECTRONICS. THEY CAN BE
VERY SUSCEPTABLE TO DAMAGE FROM SHORT
CIRCUITING OR PHYSICAL ABUSE. ALWAYS UN-
PLUG THE MARQUEE WHEN WORKING ON HIGH
VOLTAGE AREAS OF THE MARQUEE, SUCH AS
THE TRANSFORMER.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN USING VOLTME-
TERS TO DO CIRCUIT CHECKS, IF THE MARQUEE
POWER HAS BEEN LEFT ON.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERY BACK-UP
POWER WHEN WORKING ON THE MARQUEE.
THIS IS NECESSARY AS SOME CIRCUITS ARE
CONSTSNTLY UNDER POWER FROM THE BAT-
TERY.
WHEN USING A VOLTMETER, BE SURE IT IS SET
TO THE CORRECT VOLTAGE OR RESISTANCE BE-
FORE USING. THIS CAN PREVENT POSSIBLE
DAMAGE TO THE MAIN PC BOARD OR MISDIAG-
NOSIS.
ALWAYS REMOVE POWER TO THE MARQUEE
WHEN PLUGGING OR UNPLUGGING PC BOARDS.
IT IS NECESSARY TO USE I.C.E. REPLACEMENT
PARTS TO CONTINUE WARRANTY COVERAGE.
USE OF NON I.C.E. APPROVED PARTS WILL NOT
ONLY VOID YOUR WARRANTY, BUT COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO THE MARQUEE OR
CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.

PAIR AFTER READING THIS SECTION, PLEASE

OPERATIONAL BACKGROUND
The Bonus Marquee is a microprocessor controlled
display unit, with built in sound.
The object of the Marquee is to create greater player
interest in the games they serve, by adding a large
Ticket Bonus.
The Marquee operates with 1 motherboard with an
integrated power supply and transformer. On games
that use 220 VAC, a separate step-down trans-
former is used to supply the proper AC line voltage
to both the motherboard and fluorescent lighting.
Two identical L.E.D. display PC Boards are used to
display all pertinent information to the player. Each
PC Board is individually controlled by the mother-
board through an integral serial interface.
The fluorescent lighting is controlled through a relay
on the motherboard. This allows the Marquee to ap-
pear to be “asleep” when the host games are turned
off.
