CONNECTING THE EPORT G9 TELEMETER TO THE CARD READER
Antenna
Below the “ANTENNA” designation on the label of the Tele-
meter, is a round connector. Insert the round connector
at the end of the antenna wire into this connector until it
“clicks”. It is important to leave the antenna wire unbounded
and hanging loosely for best reception.
Connecting the ePort G9 to the card reader
Of the three cables coming from the Telemeter, the cable
with the small black connector is used to connect to the card
reader. Insert the card reader’s black connector into the con-
nector of the Telemeter until seated rmly. The connection is
shown in FIG. 22.
Connecting the ePort G9 to the TouchTunes Interface Cable
The interface cable that connects the ePort G9 Telemeter to the TouchTunes en-
tertainment system is a gray cable with three connectors on it; two connectors at
one end, and a single connector at the other. The end with the two connectors
is used to connect to the ePort G9. The white connector on the interface cable
connects to a white mating connector on one of the cables coming from the
ePort G9 Telemeter. The black connector on the interface cable connects to the
Auxiliary Port of the ePort G9 Telemeter which is located below the“AUX”desig-
nation on the label of the ePort G9 telemeter. See FIG. 23.
CONNECTING THE INTERFACE CABLE TO THE TOUCHTUNES SYSTEM WITH NO COIN ACCEPTOR
Virtuo and Ovation II systems
Virtuo and Ovation II systems will have a
white connector located on the door as
shown in FIG. 24. Connect the white con-
nector at the end of the interface cable to
the white connector on the system’s door.
Most MX-1 systems
Most MX-1 systems, have a white con-
nector on their door as shown in FIG. 25.
