Stern Pinball Marvel Spider-man The Pin User manual

Stern Pinball machines are assembled in Elk Grove Village, Illinois,
USA; each pinball machine has unique characteristics that make it
a one-of-a-kind American-made product. Each machine will have
variations in appearance resulting from differences in the machine’s
particular wood parts, individual silk screened art and mechanical
assemblies. Stern Pinball has inspected each game element to insure it
meets our quality standards.

DIAGNOSTICS
SWITCH
Switch Test: Close each switch by hand and observe the display. If the
switch is working properly it will display the name and corresponding number
of the switch when it is actived.
Active Switch Test: Shows all active switches on the playeld. This test is
useful for identifying if a switch is stuck.
The Diagnostics Menu is used to access various tests to verify that your
machine is working properly or to help diagnose potential problems.
COIL
Coil Test: Used to test individual coils on the playeld. Use the left and right
ippers to select a coil to test. Press the start button to re the coil.
CAUTION: Keep hands clear from playeld while testing coils.
Cycle Coil Test: Automatically cycles through all coils on the game to
verify complete functionality. Observe the playeld and make sure each
corresponding coil res as the game cycles through each.
LAMP
LED Test: Selects individual lights to ash on the playeld. Use the left and
right ippers to cycle through all the lights on the game. The corresponding
light ashes as it is displayed on the screen.
All LED Test: The CPU will illuminate all LEDs on the playeld. Useful for
identifying possible non-functioning LEDs without cycling through every light.
G.I. (General Illumination): Lights the three general illumination areas of the
playeld at the lower, middle, and upper areas of the game. Use the ipper
buttons to cycle through each.
NODE
Node Test: Checks the status of the node boards. In this case the CPU
Node 0 and the Playeld Core Node 8.
