11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer. 12. Use only with the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer or sold with
the jukebox. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the
cart/jukebox combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this jukebox during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the jukebox has been
damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the jukebox, the jukebox has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped. When replacing a
battery – “CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery
is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.”
CAUTION
Be extremely careful when working with this jukebox if it is not securely attached to a wall or
similar structure. Because this jukebox is very top heavy, opening the door may cause it to
tip over.

installed.
2. PREFERRED METHOD*: At the installation location, use a level to mark a line that
is exactly level and 66.5" (169 cm) above the floor. This will place the bottom of the
NiteHAWK at 30.80" (78.2 cm) above the floor.
IMPORTANT: This line must be level so that the mounted NiteHAWK will be level.
IMPORTANT: If replacing a WP-100 series CD Box or an NDW-1 Duet Box, use the
level to mark a line that is exactly 4 1/2" directly below the existing holes. This will
allow the use of existing lower holes in the wall and place the NiteHAWK at the same
recommended height.
3. Locate the wall stud locations on the horizontal line. If using the supplied lag screws,
drill 5/32" holes at the mark.
4. Place the Hanger Bracket against the wall. Align the Hanger Bracket holes with the
wall marks and attach with all fasteners.
* In order to comply with the height requirements of the ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act), this line must be no more than 56.450 inches from the floor.

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE NiteHAWK
Figures 1-3 and 1-4 show the major components of the NiteHAWK Jukebox. Take a minute
to familiarize yourself with these components.
Core Computer
The core computer is the heart of the system and has a removable hard drive and a single
board computer. The hard drive is the only storage in the system and contains Windows XP
Embedded Operating System software, all Application software, all music, and all setup and
audit data. The single board computer converts music selections stored on the hard drive
into a stereo signal for the system’s audio components. It also connects to the Internet, the
SVGA touch-screen monitor, and the Rowelink modules.
Touch-screen 19” LCD Monitor
All machine operations are done through the touch-screen monitor. These include viewing
and making selections, displaying the selection being played, displaying pricing and credits,
viewing and changing setup and audit data, and downloading “Music On Demand”
selections.
System Power Supply
The system power supply produces +9 VDC, +12 VDC, +24 VDC, and contains a relay to
switch the jukebox lights, touch-screen monitor, and Bill Acceptor ON or OFF. It has an IEC
320 power inlet, two 6A circuit breakers and two 4A fuses.
Transformer Assembly
The transformer assembly supplies power for the Audio/Video Controller, 1000-Watt Audio
Digital Amplifier, and the system power supply described above.
Rowelink Controller
The Rowelink controller connects the core computer’s serial RS-232 COM2 port to the serial
RS-485 Rowelink modules. It also includes the coin switch, router reset, fan circuits, bill
acceptor, song reject, infrared detector and amplifier mute.
LED Controller
This module controls the LEDs that illuminate the perimeter lighting on the door and the
door graphics of the jukebox. It provides adjustments for the Brightness, Flash Rate, and
Music Sensitivity along with controls for the patterns used during standby and, separately,
the times when music is playing.
Router
This device provides the interface between the core computer and the broadband modem or
satellite receiver. There is a one-time configuration process to set this device for your
particular Internet Service Provider (ISP). In addition to the port required for the core
computer, there are three other ports provided for other devices.

Unpacking & System Description NiteHAWK Internet Jukebox
1-8 22022602
Volume Control Unit
The Volume Control Unit (VCU), a Rowelink module, should be mounted remotely (behind
bar, etc.). The 100-foot modular cable (included) can be connected between the unit and
P5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 on the Rowelink Controller. It displays and controls the volume of the
amplifier channels and microphones. If an existing 100 foot cable is already in place, you
can use the 3-wire or 4-wire (see Figure 3-7) alternate wiring.
•The POWER button turns the NiteHAWK Jukebox lights, touch-screen monitor and Bill
Acceptor ON or OFF.
•The REJECT button rejects the selection playing.
•The FUTURE button adds credits toward selections (See “Credit Management” in the
Operator Setup Screens Manual).
•The MODE key toggles between channels and microphones.
•The VCU also raises or lowers the volume of the channel(s) or microphone using the UP
DOWN keys. The volume range is 0 to 63. Channel Volume is displayed when the
mode LED is off, and microphone volume is displayed when the mode LED is on.
The CH, MIC, and SINGER LEDs indicate what volume is being displayed. When
adjusting channel volume, if more than one LED is on, it means those channels have the
same volume. All four channels have the same volume when shipped from the factory
(see Section 3 of the included “Network Setup, Jukebox Operation, Operator Setup
Screens” manual for other possible configurations).
4 Channel Preamplifier
This Rowelink module transforms audio signals from the core computer, microphones, and
other sound processors/equipment/systems into signals for the Power Amplifier. It also
contains Automatic Volume Control (AVC) to adjust for varying recording levels and tone
controls, via 5-band equalizers. All adjustments and options are programmable via the
touch-screen and are retained on the Core Computer hard drive (see Section 3 of the
included “Network Setup, Jukebox Operation, Operator Setup Screens” manual for setup
information).
1000-Watt Audio Digital Power Amplifier
The 2-channel digital audio power amplifier is rated 1000 watts RMS (500 per channel) into
a 2-ohm load. The full volume output voltage is 32 volts.
The amplifier is protected against overloads and short circuits. Continuous severe
overloads or shorts may shut down the amplifier (or a channel) but will not damage it. If the
overload is removed a signal will reset the amplifier when the next selection plays.
Audio Output Transformers
The output transformers “step up” the power amplifiers output voltage for 70-volt extension
speakers. They also provide screw connections for selecting different power levels for
extension speakers.
Bill Acceptor
The Coinco ® Vantage ™, with an 1100-bill stacker or optional MEI ®Series 2000 bill
acceptor, with a 1000-bill stacker, operates on 120 VAC input power and sends its pulsed
credit signals to the Rowelink Controller.
