Error will be displayed on the 4-digit display and the machine will play a voice message. “Please Call the Attendant”. Some error Messages will only be displayed when test mode is entered. Errors are displayed on the displays as follows:

E r r X

, where

„X‟ is the error number. There are five error messages for Choo Choo Train, listed as

ERROR CODE QUICK REFERENCE TABLE

CODE SOLUTION

Err1

ERROR DESCRIPTION

TICKET DISPENSE ERROR

Jammed tickets, no tickets or no ticket notch pulse for longer than

3 seconds.

Clear ticket dispenser jam or replenish tickets. After this, push Test button once to clear error.

Err2

COIN INPUT ERROR

Coin switches are active for more than 5 seconds

Check coin switches for coin jam and clear the jam. Use the Switch Test mode to check coin switches. Adjust, and/or replace if necessary.

Err3

EEPROM ERROR

Problem with on-board

EEPROM

The main MCU is getting errors reading the EEPROM (24C16 IC on MCU).

Err4

BALL GATE ERROR

Ball gate switch is not properly closed

Check ball gate switch for jam and clear the jam. Use Switch Test to check gate switch. Press Test button to clear the error and close the gate.

Err5

TARGET SENSOR BLOCKED

Target sensor are blocked for longer than 3 seconds

Clear Blockage from between target sensors or test sensor using Switch Test.

TROUBLESHOOTING GAME ERRORS

 CLEARING GAME ERRORS

Game errors can be cleared, by pushing the test button ONCE. The game will try and check if the error is fixed. If the reason for the error is fixed, the game will continue as normal. If the error is not fixed, the error will remain on the display.

 Err1 – TICKET ERROR

This error usually occurs if the game has run out of tickets or there is a ticket jam. A less common reason is if the game PCB tries to dispense tickets but doesn‟t get a notch pulse for approximately three seconds. Use the Switch Test and test the notch pulse by passing a ticket in and out of the notch sensor an active notch will be display as C1.If the game was out of tickets, replace the tickets, clear the ticket jam and then push the test button once to clear the error. The game will then payout any owed tickets.

 Err2 – COIN INPUT ERROR

This error occurs if one of the coin switches is closed for more than 5 seconds. The problem can be a coin stuck in the coin switch path or the coin switch is out of adjustment or faulty. Enter Switch Test mode to check the coin mechanisms.

 Err3 – EEPROM ERROR

This Error is only displayed in test mode and means that the CPU cannot read the EEPROM, or is receiving errors during communication with the

EEPROM (The 24C16 IC on the main MCU PCB). This could cause problems with the game audits and program settings. The first thing to do is trying to switch ON and OFF the machine in at least 2 cycles, if message still appear than replace the EEPROM IC Atmel 24C16 on the CPU PCB with the new EEPROM, If still Error massage, this could be a problems with the game audits and program. If this error occurs, send your main

MCU PCB to the nearest authorized LAI games dealer for repair.

 Err4 – BALL GATE ERROR

This error occurs if the ball gate switch is not properly closed after a game is played. Enter Switch Test mode to check the ball gate switch. If C5 is displayed, then the switch is not closed. The problem can be something obstructing the gate/gate switch from closing. Check for ball gate jam and clear the jam.

 Err5 – TARGET SENSOR BLOCKED

This error usually occurs if the target sensor is blocked or a ball is jammed in the ball exit, blocking the infrared beam of the target sensor for longer than 3 seconds. The sensor can be tested using the switch test. If the sensor is blocked C6, C7, C8, C9, C10 or C11 will be displayed in this test

(depends on the target). Clear whatever is blocking the sensor and the error will clear itself. If you cannot find anything blocking the sensor, there could be faulty infrared sensors. The sensor PCB‟s should be returned to your nearest LAI Games distributor for repair.
