SERVICE AND OPERATION MANUAL
Stern Pinball machines are assembled in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA. Stern Pinball has inspected each game element to ensure it meets our quality standards.
Each pinball machine has unique characteristics that make it a one-of-a-kind American made product. Each will have variations in appearance resulting from differences
in the machine’s particular wood parts, individual printed art and mechanical assemblies. No playeld is perfectly at and varies depending on the season. Game play will
result in playeld dimpling as the harder steel ball contacts the wood and coating; over time multiple dimples will blend to make them less noticeable. Normal plastic insert
crazing (tiny stress cracks) and ghosting (small cloudy areas around insert edges) are often seen in pinball machines, due to a combination of plastic mold stress, pushing of
inserts into purposely undersized holes, and heating and breaking of inserts’ plastic “skin” when the playeld eld is sanded.
WARNING
IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNING: PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES - A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, in-
cluding ashing lights or patterns. Even people with no history of seizures of epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures”
due to certain visual images, ashing lights or patterns. Symptoms can include lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
IMMEDIATELY STOP PLAYING AND CONSULT A DOCTOR IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS.
ATTENTION! IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION
The electronics system, node network architecture, mechanical devices and associated software control systems in this pinball machine are designed to work with genuine
Stern Pinball accessories and devices.
Installation of non-authorized accessories, lamps, LED’s, motors or other devices or modication of electro-mechanical devices may damage the system and will void your
warranty.

2. Adjust the front or rear levelers as necessary to position
the playeld level bubble, located on the front right of
the playeld next to the shooter lane, to oat between
the two (2) black lines. This will place the playeld at the
recommended 6.5° pitch. Playeld angles greater than
6.5° can be achieved by turning out the rear leg level-
er(s) for increased difculty and faster gameplay.
3. Use a pinball to roll down the center of the playeld for
side-to-side leveling, or use an external bubble level,
digital level, or smartphone level app.
4. Plug into a grounded outlet and check for proper opera-
tion through DIAGNOSTICS.
5. Check the coin door: With the door closed, insert coins
to verify proper operation.

2. SPIKE SYSTEM AND NODE GUIDE
2.1 SPIKE SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The SPIKE Pinball system is a rugged, distributed, and em-
bedded platform custom-designed for the rigors of the pinball
machine environment. SPIKE takes advantage of modern tech-
nologies to deliver an immersive pinball experience that supports
modern features, reduces cabling, and increases serviceability
and reliability.
A Stern Pinball machine based on the SPIKE system will have at
least two nodes networked together with the SPIKE node bus,
a custom industrial pinball control bus that is designed around
industry standards and optimized for the pinball environment.
The primary CPU node is networked to one or more input/output
nodes over standard Category 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
ethernet cabling.
There are ve primary types of nodes that are found in the game.
• CPU node (Node 0) - The primary node that controls other
nodes in the system. Contains the primary game software
for the system and provides SPIKE node bus power for other
nodes.
• Cabinet 48V node (Node 1) - Specialized node with specic
inputs and outputs for coin doors, tilt mechanisms, and other
bottom-cabinet devices.
• 48V playeld node - Controls high power devices such
as coils and ashers, and also supports a few switch and
low-power outputs. Powered by the system 48V power sup-
ply.
• Light and switch node - High-density switch and low-power
LED outputs, bus-powered from the node bus. These boards
contain as many 32 switch inputs and light outputs.
• Node extensions - These sub-nodes add additional low-pow-
er input and outputs to a specic Power or I/O node and are
connected with simple serial bus.
2.2 NODE BUS CABLING
The SPIKE node bus utilizes standard Ethernet-style RJ45 8-pin
modular jacks, and off-the-shelf Category 5e or better ethernet
cabling. The node bus is electrically different from Ethernet and
does not utilize Ethernet or TCP/IP protocols or signaling stan-
dards. SPIKE nodes are not compatible with standard computer
networking equipment.
CAUTION: Plugging a SPIKE Node or CPU board into a standard
Ethernet port may damage one or both devices and void your
warranty.
2.3 SYSTEM POWER
The SPIKE System is powered from an 48V DC power supply
bus. Each SPIKE node converts this voltage to lower voltages
required by the node and its specic components. A SPIKE 48V
node typically controls high-power outputs such as game coil
mechanisms and high-brightness LEDs. These powered nodes
are supplied directly with 48V system power. SPIKE standard I/O
nodes are low-power nodes that read switch inputs and output to
standard-brightness LEDs. Standard I/O nodes use the node bus
power, which is supplied by the main CPU node over the node
bus modular jack connectors.
2.4 SPIKE NODE ADDRESSES
Each SPIKE node has a unique address ranging from 0 to 15. Not
all addresses are used in all games. Nodes can be of the same
part number, so the address is specied on the DIP switches on
each node. When replacing a node, be certain that the correct
address is set. Nodes can have 3-position and 4-position DIP
switches. Refer to the appropriate table to set the address for
each type of Node. The correct address for a node can be found
in the SPIKE node reference section of the manual or in the game
diagnostic software. Address 0 is reserved for the backbox CPU
node, where the game software resides. Address 1 is reserved for
the cabinet node, located inside the coin door. These two nodes
do not have DIP switches as their address is not congurable.

2.5 SPIKE NODE PROGRAMMING
The SPIKE nodes are smart nodes that have on-board pro-
cessors and run embedded code. The nodes are programmed
automatically by the CPU node whenever software updates are
installed to the CPU. When replacing a node, the CPU node will
detect and update the node to the latest software with no user
intervention. Always replace nodes with the power to the game
turned OFF.
2.6 SPIKE SYSTEM TERMINOLOGY
MULTI GENERAL ILLUMINATION LIGHTING
General Illumination Lighting is two or more lights powered by
one control source. These are often a number of LEDs connect-
ed in parallel and the system controls these as one large LED. A
missing LED will not affect these circuits, however a shorted LED
can cause the entire string of LEDs to turn off.
SINGLE LIGHTS
Single lights and LEDs are direct-controlled from SPIKE node
boards. A common power source is grounded by individual
transistors to turn individual LEDs on and off. Groups of LEDs,
usually by node connector, share a common power source, so if
a group of LEDs is out, check the wiring for the power source.
FLASHERS
SPIKE games treat ashers the same as single LEDs that draw
more power. Flashers are controlled from the same circuits that
power regular lights.
DRIVERS
A driver is a circuit that controls a high power-device such as a
coil, magnet, or motor. Each device has a common 48V power
source that is then connected to ground by a dedicated control
transistor. Each driver is protected against shorting, static elec-
tricity, and over-current conditions. Take caution as 48V is always
present on a device even when it is not energized.
OPTOS
Certain types of optical switches (“optos”) require external signal
conditioning. For these optos, they will interface to a SPIKE node
via an opto signal conditioning board. Other optical switches
connect directly to the Spike node board.
System Protections
CAUTION: Unless explicitly directed by an Authorized Stern Re-
pair technician, perform ALL work on your pinball machine with
the power disabled!
SPIKE SYSTEM AND NODE GUIDE CONTINUED
INPUT/OUTPUT PROTECTIONS
SPIKE features built-in short-circuit, static electricity, and other
protections to maximize reliability. If an LED, coil or other device
shorts, it will be disabled but will not shut down the entire system
in most circumstances. Groups of LEDs, coils, and switches often
share common power supplies or other circuits, so it is possible
that a bad device will affect the group of related devices and
require removal or repair to x the group. The system diagnostics
will inform the technician of shorted or otherwise malfunctioning
devices whenever possible. While the system is protected against
permanent damage, it is strongly recommended to repair or
replace these bad components as soon as possible to minimize
downtime and maximize game earnings.
