Installation Preparation

BEFORE YOU START…

Before you install the Silver Strike Bowling kit into your cabinet there are a few things you should check first:

1. Check to make sure your existing cabinet's monitor, speakers, AC power cord, and lights work. q Replace or repair where necessary.

2. Check to make sure all the necessary parts are included in your kit. q If any are missing/damaged please contact IT's Technical Support at 847-870-7027 x121.

3. Check to make sure cabinet is wired with standard earth grounded A.C. plug compatible with local building codes and/or safety requirements. q If not, have a qualified electrician install one (not provided).

4. Have all the necessary tools available to install this kit. q Refer to the recommended tools list above to make sure you are prepared before you start.

5. Make sure any parts of the system (lights, monitor, etc.) are not plugged in. q Working with any part of the system plugged in or powered on can be dangerous.

6. Keep in mind that it's been proven that the higher quality of work put into a kit installation results in a higher earning game. q Make sure you have plenty of space, time, and focus to put into this kit installation.




The Cabinet

Cabinet Selection

You can choose either a new cabinet or a used cabinet for your Silver Strike Bowling game. Reusing a cabinet is by far the most cost-effective way to maximize the return on your initial investment. In either case, all you need to provide is the cabinet with a monitor, JAMMA harness, coin and bill acceptors, working fluorescent/marquee lights, and speakers. We provide the rest. The end result is a new game at a very low cost.

When selecting a cabinet, keep in mind that a large control panel allows you to mount the trackball farther from the monitor. This prevents players' hands from hitting the monitor glass when rolling the trackball forward, and will earn better than a smaller control panel closer to the monitor.

Preparing the Cabinet for Installation

Follow these steps to prepare your cabinet before installation:

1. Remove the following from the cabinet: Main Logic Board(s) (and hard drive if present), Control

Panel, Monitor Viewing Glass, Marquee, and Power Supply.

2. Thoroughly clean out your cabinet. Remove all of the old buttons, joysticks, etc. DO NOT remove monitor and speaker wires or the wires that were previously hooked up to the control panel.

3. Remove the old graphics and adhesive from the cabinet including the control panel.

4. For a fresh look and best earnings painting is highly recommended. Spray painting gives a better finish, but if an air brush or paint sprayer is unavailable a roller is second best. Remember to cover all exposed surfaces not to be painted. When not installing into an old Golden Tee® dedicated cabinet, the recommended color choice is black.

5. Make sure to have the sides of the cabinet and the control panel as smooth and flat as possible to allow for a higher quality finish when applying the control panel background, labels, and side decals.

6. The "new game look" should always apply to the inside of your game as well. A few wire ties and shrink tubing on your harness, some fastening hardware on your subassemblies, and a sweep with the vacuum cleaner will help ensure that glitches do not occur.

Monitor Requirements and Clean-Up

Silver Strike Bowling has been designed to operate with SVGA (800 x 600), VGA (640 x 480), medium resolution

(512 x 384) and low resolution (340 x 255) monitor systems. For best results choose a cabinet with a SVGA compatible monitor.

When operating with a SVGA or VGA monitor, Silver Strike Bowling uses the standard VGA sync timing and signals. When operating with medium resolution or low resolution monitors, Silver Strike Bowling operates with composite negative serrated sync.

NOTE: In all cases a horizontal mount raster scan monitor is required.

Silver Strike Bowling has been designed to run at multiple screen resolutions. Operating Silver Strike Bowling at the highest possible resolution will give your game the best results (and revenue). Many current games use medium-res. and VGA/SVGA monitors already. If you have a low-res. monitor, it may be possible to switch it to a higher resolution. Check your monitor's manual for availability.

CAUTION! Monitors are extremely dangerous and can result in severe injury. Make sure you follow and observe all safety precautions as outlined in your monitor's manual.

ALWAYS disconnect the power to the cabinet before working on or around the monitor.

Now is a great time to clean both sides of the monitor viewing glass and monitor screen to ensure a clear view of the game. Once you have done so reinstall the monitor viewing glass back in place.




Game Electronics

I/O Board Installation

NOTE: Before installing any electronics make sure cabinet power switch is in the OFF position and the cabinet power is unplugged from the wall.

Silver Strike Bowling comes with a specially designed I/O board that works with your cabinet's already installed

JAMMA harness. The I/O board is used as a connection interface between the JAMMA and the Nighthawk

Chassis. Refer to the diagram on page 9.

1. Mount the I/O board into the cabinet using 6 of the 6 x ¾" Hex Washer Head Sheet Metal Screws. The existing JAMMA harness edge connector will attach to this board.

2. Cable connections: q JAMMA Connector. Be sure it fits tightly. q Trackball Cable to the Trackball connector. Other end will connect to the trackball. q Power cable to the power input connector. Use the end with the 4-pin pigtail. Other end connects to the Nighthawk Chassis.

Refer to the diagrams on this page as well as a detailed diagram on page 45 for correct placements of Nighthawk

Chassis, C.I.D., and cables from the Chassis to I/O board to peripherals:




Cabinet Identification Device Installation

The Cabinet Identification Device or C.I.D. is an innovative and important component. This device permanently identifies your cabinet as Silver Strike Bowling. It should remain even if another component such as the I/O board or chassis is replaced. The C.I.D. has a unique number to individualize the cabinet and is referred to as the Cabinet Identification Number.

1. Attach the C.I.D. to the inside side of the cabinet using the

2 - #6 X 1” Hex Washer Head Sheet Metal Screws. Mount so the port is facing up and the electronics faces the wall.

2. Attach the USB cable from the Nighthawk Chassis.

Ø Place the included Cabinet Identification Number on the back of the cabinet for future reference. Refer to this number to track your equipment and whenver you

are calling in for service.

Ø The Cabinet Identification Number is displayed in the operator menus in the lower right hand corner. It is displayed as Game ID. It is also displayed on the last line of the initial boot-up screen.

Ticket Dispenser

Silver Strike Bowling supports Entropy 2000 Ticket Dispenser Continuous Type (TD963CR) and Deltronic Labs

DL-1275 Continuous Type ticket dispensers. If you wish to connect a ticket dispenser to this game, you will have to make a cable with the proper connectors. These ticket dispensers mates with a Molex connector #03-09-1041 or #03-09-1042. The I/O board ticket connector J201 mates with a Molex connector #22-01-2047 or #22-01-

3047. Simply connect pins 1 through 4 on one end directly to pins 1 through 4 on the other end. Consult with your ticket dispenser's manual to verify installation procedures. (See the Ticket Dispener section in the Operator

Menus starting on page 36.)

Control Panel

Trackball and Button Preparation

Mounting the trackball and buttons correctly and securely is very important for the profitability and safety of your new game. This kit is designed for use in cabinets with ¾" thick wood control panels where proper routing of the control panel is used to create a safe playing experience. If you do not have a ¾" thick wood control panel, please replace your control panel or choose a cabinet with a ¾" thick wood control panel installed. Keep in mind that if your current control panel has many old holes in it from previous buttons, joysticks, etc. that it may be easier to start with a new solid control panel. This will give your game a better look and feel and help it to earn better.

NOTE: If the cabinet already has a trackball plate installed, discard and replace with the new trackball plate. The metal trackball mounting plate and trackball mounting procedure have been designed to remove all bolts from the playing surface. Routing the wood control panel is required so the metal mounting plate is flush with the panel surface. An uneven playing surface or exposed edges will affect game play and could impact your earnings.

TIP: Trackball and button templates can be found at the back of this manual. They include: q Trackball Template to install the trackball plate and make the appropriate routing (page 49). q q

Trackball Orientation Diagram to orient your trackball correctly when installing (page 51).

Button Set Templates to position and install control panel buttons (page 53).




Trackball Preparation

Install the metal trackball plate by following these steps:

1. Cut out the template (see template-page 49) with a pair of scissors along the noted line. Tape this template to the top of the control panel as far away from the monitor as possible, making sure that the trackball will clear the cabinet beneath it. NOTE: Installing the trackball as far away from the monitor as possible will prevent players' hands from hitting the monitor glass when rolling the trackball forward.

2. Using a sharp object, mark the eight points shown on the template on the control panel. Using a pencil, trace the outside of the template. Remove the template.

3. Drill Holes 1-4 with a 9/32" or 5/16" drill bit.

4. Drill Holes 5-8 with a ¾" drill bit.

5. Route the crosshatched region to a depth of about .075" (about the thickness of a nickel).

6. Using a sabre saw cut out the center portion by cutting between holes 5-8.

7. Once you have cleaned up the routed area, install the trackball plate into the control panel using the ¼"

Flat Washers and ¼-20 Nylon Hex Nuts. Be sure the mounting plate is flush with the top of the control panel.

NOTE: At this time you are only installing the trackball plate, do not install the trackball yet.

Button Preparation

The following are the steps you should take to prepare your control panel for the installation of the button assemblies:

1. Cut out the template(s) (see template-page 53).

2. Cut along the dotted line to separate the templates.

3. Using a tape measure, measure the specified distances from the center of the trackball hole in the trackball plate and make a mark for both the left and right button reference points.

4. Lay each template over the appropriate reference marking point. Mark the centers of the remaining holes using a sharp object.

5. Drill a 1 1/8" hole at each marked point.

NOTE: Do NOT install the trackball or buttons until the control panel graphics have been applied.

Control Panel Overlay Installation

Silver Strike Bowling comes with an oversized control panel overlay that will accommodate a variety of existing game cabinets, but works best on Golden Tee Fore®, NFL® Blitz™ and EA Sports™ PGA Tour® Golf cabinets.

Follow these instructions to correctly install the control panel overlay on one of these cabinets:

1. Make sure that the newly drilled control panel has a smooth, clean surface. Sand where necessary to make sure the graphics are installed on an even surface.

2. Clean the control panel to make sure it is free from dust, grease, metal filings, etc. Make sure that all residues (adhesive, overlay material, etc.) from the previous control panel graphics are removed. This will ensure a clean, easy, and beautiful application of the control panel graphics.

3. It is very important that the trackball and control panel graphics be mounted perfectly straight.

Find the center of your trackball template and lightly draw vertical and horizontal guidelines on the control panel, marking out your centering lines.

4. Remove a small section of the protective backing from the overlay. Carefully center the overlay over the control panel by lining up the die-cut hole with the trackball template. Be sure the graphic is positioned

perfectly straight. Line up your pencil guidelines with the lines incorporated into the art. Once in position, gently press down on the section with exposed adhesive, affixing the overlay into place. Once affixed, the overlay cannot be removed.




Control Panel Overlay Installation - Continued

5. While holding down the overlay over the attached area, very carefully turn over one side and remove the exposed backing. Gently lay down the exposed overlay from the center outward, smoothing with your hands or a roller as you go. Be sure the overlay remains straight and square. Repeat the process with the other side of the overlay, so the entire surface is affixed to the control panel. Make sure all bubbles have been pressed out for a clean, flat surface.

TIP: Liquid window cleaner can be sprayed onto the control panel before placing the overlay onto the control panel. The window cleaner will allow the overlay to be positioned with less risk of damage to the overlay or adhesive. Once in position, use a decal roller or squeegee to force any excess cleaner out. Be sure to add additional time for the adhesive to cure.

6. Using an X-acto knife (or other sharp instrument) carefully cut around the edges of your control panel, trimming any excess material.

7. Find the center of each hole you've drilled out for the buttons and use the knife to poke a hole into the overlay. Make a vertical and horizontal line (like a plus sign) from the center of the hole to the edges. You should be able to place your button in later with no edges showing.

CAUTION: If you choose to install a Plexiglas® cover over your control panel (not recommended), to ensure the safety of your players and the quality of your game make sure that all surfaces, edges and bolts that a player may come in contact with are smooth, safe and secure.

Finishing The Control Panel

1. Reattach the control panel to your cabinet adjusting any hinges or chains where necessary. Make sure not to pinch or crimp any wires while re-attaching the control panel.

2. Install the trackball to the trackball plate. The trackball must be oriented correctly in order to function properly. Refer to the diagram located on page 51 for correct orientation. You will need the following parts in order to install the trackball correctly to the plate: 4 -10/32 x 2½" Phillips Head Machine Screws, 4 - #10

Flat Washers and 4 - #10 Split Lock Washers NOTE: Do not over-tighten the trackball. It will warp and cause the trackball to not operate correctly.

IMPORTANT! Be sure to install your trackball securely, and maintain it regularly. Loose, worn, or incorrectly mounted trackballs can result in decreased earnings and possible injury to players.

3. Secure the trackball ground wire to the trackball plate at the 8-32 stud on one end with an 8-32 KEPS nut and the other end to the cabinet ground stud (usually located near the AC power cord inlet) using an 8-32

KEPS nut.

4. Install the buttons in the holes located on your control panel. Make sure you use the red button assembly where the hole and decal for the Start button is placed.

5. Attach the micro switches to your newly installed buttons and connect the wires up to the correct pins on the JAMMA harness. q NOTE: The post on the switch labeled COM should connect to the ground wire and the post labeled

NO should connect to the signal wire. See the JAMMA pin out chart on page 43.




Finishing The Kit

Side Decals and Marquee

Included with your Silver Strike Bowling kit is a set of decals to place on the side of your cabinet and a brand new marquee. This will help identify your new game as Silver Strike Bowling. By placing and installing these correctly it can help give players instant recognition, even from a distance.

Side Decal Installation

The following are the instructions on placing your side decals correctly on to the cabinet:

1. Locate the place where the side decals will be viewed best on your cabinet. Refer to the diagram included on the decal sheet and to the right of these instructions for optimal placement.

NOTE: Make sure to have the sides of the cabinet as smooth and flat as possible, removing all previous residue from prior decals, to allow for a higher quality finish.

TIP: Liquid window cleaner can be sprayed onto the sides of the cabinet before placing the decals. The window cleaner will allow the decal to be removed and re-installed without damaging the decal or adhesive. The decal roller or squeegee forces the cleaner out, leaving just the adhesive.

2. Remove the first of the new cabinet side decals from the backing.

3. Center the first decal on the location selected for your cabinet.

4. Using your hands (or a decal roller/squeegee), press down firmly starting from the center and smooth the side decal outward. Make sure all bubbles have been pressed out for a clean, flat surface.

5. Repeat for each of the remaining side decals.

Marquee Installation

The following are the instructions for placing the new marquee in your cabinet:

1. Using the old marquee glass as a template, center the glass on top of your new marquee. Make sure that all the printed images are visible.

2. Using an X-acto® knife or other sharp blade, score the new marquee deeply by following the edges of the old glass as a guide.

CAUTION: Do not cut on table or counter top. Use a cutting board or a disposable surface.

3. Carefully break off any excess material you have cut off.

4. Be sure the light behind the marquee works.

5. Clean the glass on both sides to give players a clear view of the new marquee.

6. Install the marquee graphics and glass securely.

Coin Doors, Test Switch, and Volume Control Panel

Wire the coin doors as per the JAMMA Harness Connection table on page 43. Connect the door lamps to the appropriate (+12Vdc or +5Vdc) supply. Some games have separate power supply outputs for the lamps. Install a test switch somewhere convenient inside the coin door area. This switch allows you to enter adjustables, run diagnostics, and see or clear audits. Make it readily accessible through the coin door. Wire it to the Test wire on the JAMMA Harness. Silver Strike Bowling has the ability to adjust volume at any time during a game. Install two push button switches (not included) inside the coin door for easy access. Connect the switches to the JAMMA harness. Refer to the JAMMA Harness Connection table on page 43.

Initial Power-Up

There are several steps you should take when powering up your Silver Strike Bowling for the first time. This is a quick checklist for you to follow when doing your first initial power-up: q Plug in the game and turn it ON; be sure the game powers up correctly into the attract mode. q Adjust volume levels to desired settings. q Adjust monitor settings for best picture.

NOTE:

Sound and Video Tests are available through the System Tests Menu. They are beneficial when making any adjustments. (See System Tests Menu on page 26). Proper monitor and sound adjustment is very important. q q

Try all money slots. Drop quarters or tokens through to check the coin mechs and insert a bill into the bill acceptor. Make sure the game is adding credits.

NOTE: Silver Strike Bowling supports most bill acceptors. Installing a bill acceptor is highly recommended and will increase your earnings. Refer to your bill acceptor's manual for installation specifications. The bill acceptor can be wired to coin door 3 on the JAMMA.

Test all of the player input controls. You can use the PLAYER CONTROL TESTS in the SYSTEM

TESTS MENU. q Upon initial power-up the game is set to factory default settings. These settings affect game elements such as number of credits per coin, difficulty settings, etc. The OPERATOR MENUS section (see page

21) will describe how to alter these settings for your location.

Trackball and Button Templates

Trackball Template and Orientation Diagram

Included in this appendix are two templates for you to use when preparing your control panel for trackball installation into the control panel. The first is an installation template you can copy and use right on your control panel to make the necessary routing and holes required to install the trackball plate. Included on this "actual size" template are instructions for use of the template. The second is a diagram that shows the proper orientation when installing the trackball to the trackball plate. The orientation of the trackball is very important for correct wiring and game play. These templates can be found on page 49 and 51.

Button Template and Orientation

Included in this appendix are two templates you can use to help space and orient the two sets of buttons on your control panel. This will allow you to properly drill the holes for the buttons into your control panel and keep them spaced at proper distances from the trackball. These templat es can be found on page 53.

For guidance on the layout please refer to the diagram below:
