Cabinet, Door and Top The physical outer enclosure which provides for the location and mounting of
Box. other modules.
Video Monitor High resolution 640 x 400 pixels for improved-quality graphics. The monitor is
the main medium for displaying game operation and status to the player.
Main Board The Main printed circuit board (PCB) provides primary control of the MVP
Video Gaming Machine. The Main Board is interfaced (via the Interface
Board) to all the major components of the machine. The board receives
signals from, and sends control signals to machine components. The Main
Board houses the central processor and other logic components for game
generation, video, security items, power control, memory storage, and
communications.
Interface Board The interface board houses an array of connectors which are used to
(may also be called the electrically connect (via direct mechanical coupling or through looms and
Backplane). ribbon cables) the various electrical components of the machine to the Main
Board.
I/O Driver Board The I/O Driver Board drives the lamps, receives inputs from the pushbuttons,
interfaces with the coin handling system, and provides a battery-backed
circuit for security monitoring (if required).
Communication The Communication Configuration Board (CCB) 'piggy-backs' to the Main
Configuration Board Board. The board is used to set up the communications channels of the Main
Board (up to three) for the bank note acceptor and printer.

1.2 Basic Operation


The functions of the gaming machine are controlled by an advanced software and
hardware platform that provides operators with greater control over machine
functions and simplifies maintenance and machine setup. New games developed
with the software provide higher quality graphics, new sounds and a wider variety
of features.
All processing is carried out on the Main Board. The Main Board contains the
central processor and the game EPROMs which hold the software required for
game generation and video graphics. All data and control signals to and from the
Main Board are distributed by the Interface Board. The Interface Board also
distributes regulated low voltage power from the power control system.
The machine has two major modes of operation: Play mode and Operator mode.
The machine is in Play Mode when the cabinet door is closed and locked, the
Audit key switch is in the OFF position and there are no fault or lock-up
conditions.
The machine is in Operator Mode when the Audit key switch is in the ON
position. Operator Mode provides for a range of operational procedures, data
displays, and specific machine functions. Normal gameplay is disabled during
Operator Mode.

1.2.1 Play Mode


When in Play Mode, the machine:
permits gameplay,
operates security and audit features,
runs self-checking and testing continuously,
monitors and records gameplay activities continuously,
displays comments and guidance for players, operators and technicians.

Basic machine operation in Play Mode is shown in Figure 1-3. Depending on the
machine configuration, credits may be registered by inserting coins, bank notes or
tokens. The machine has security features for screening the currency tendered to
ensure that only valid currency is accepted.
If the currency is accepted by the machine, the playbuttons on the mid trim
become active and flash. The player may then insert more currency, play a game
by pressing one of the flashing playbuttons, or have the machine return the current
credit total by pressing the COLLECT pushbutton. The player determines how
many credits to wager by pressing one of the BET playbuttons, and the BET meter
on the display screen shows the credits wagered.

Once the player starts a game by pressing one of the active playbuttons, the
machine runs the game sequence and displays the outcome on the screen. If the
result is a winning combination, the player may gamble the win (if the gamble
feature is available); otherwise, the machine increments the credits won. If the
result is not a winning combination, the player may continue gameplay provided
there are credits remaining.
The machine is equipped with electronic audit (soft) meters which continuously
monitor and record credit movement and game activity. Electromechanical meters
are also fitted. The electronic audit meters are accessed through the Operator
Mode. The information in these meters is used for audit calculations and security
purposes.
If the machine encounters an abnormal condition, it alerts the operator by
automatically entering Machine Lockup. In lockup, gameplay is disabled to
prevent any further player interaction and guidance information is displayed in the
game message area. The lockup condition can be identified by examining the
Current Lockup screen which is accessed from the Operator Mode Menu. Each
lockup condition has an associated help screen that provides information on how
to fix the problem and remove the lockup.

1.2.2 Operator Mode


Within Operator Mode (Audit Key ON), the following options are available:
machine identification
accounting information
diagnostic information
self test mode
operator setup/selections
power save modetion mode
current lockup information.

In Operator Mode, the electronic audit meters and the electromechanical meters do
not function. Menu selections may be used to review the machine details, select
new configurations, and carry out machine tests. Refer to the chapter Machine
Modes for detailed information.

2.3.2 Pre-start Connections, Checks and Power Up


Perform the following machine connections and checks:
1. Check that the Mechanical Meter Board is firmly seated in the top box or the
low boy meter cover and that the following printed circuit board assemblies
(PCBAs) are firmly seated in the logic cage:
Main Board
I/O Driver Board
LAB Board
Communications Configuration Board
Interface Board

Note
For accessing PCBAs, refer to the relevant chapter
in the Service Manual.

2. The machine power supply and monitor isolation transformer are set at the
factory for a mains input voltage of 240 V unless clearly labeled otherwise.
Should there be a need to change the mains input voltage setting:

WARNING
Make sure the machine is disconnected from
mains power before adjusting voltage settings.

CAUTION
Selecting the wrong power supply and/or monitor
isolation transformer voltage will cause
considerable damage to the power supply and/or
monitor transformer.

a. Set the voltage selector switch on the power supply for the correct
mains input voltage. The switch is mounted on the metal housing of
the power supply assembly, which is located at the back of the cabinet,
in the bottom right-hand corner.
b. Where a Ceronix monitor with a manually-switched isolation mains
input transformer is used, set the mains input switch on the
transformer to match the mains input voltage.
3. Make sure that the mains power switch is OFF. Connect the mains power
cable to the machine. The power cable may enter the cabinet either via a
hole in the base of the cabinet or via a hole in the rear wall of the cabinet. A
hole is provided in the base of the cabinet, near the cable entrance, to allow
a clamp to be fitted to the mains cable. The purpose of this clamp is to
prevent the mains power cable from being accidentally disconnected. This
clamp should be fitted if there is a reasonable risk that the mains power
cable may be accidentally disconnected.

Revision 01 2-7
Installation NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

WARNING
Visually check that the insulation of the mains
power cable is sound. Check that all machine
earth wires (green/yellow stripe or braid) and
screws that were moved during installation are
correctly attached.

4. Switch ON the machine and close the main door within 5 seconds (closing
the main door within 5 seconds will ensure that the monitor automatically
degausses correctly - refer step 5 below). The monitor and fluorescent
lighting system will then be powered up. The machine will perform self-
testing procedures for a few moments and any faults detected will be
highlighted by a message on the video screen. To fix detected faults, refer
to Fault Mode in the chapter Machine Modes.
5. If the monitor exhibits colour aberrations, this may be the result of magnetic
interference. Degaussing the monitor and cabinet, as described below, can
remove the colour aberrations.
a. Power down the machine and wait for a 30-minute period to elapse.
This time delay enables the monitor circuit varistors to cool
sufficiently and create enough energy to degauss both the monitor's
ferrous content and that of the cabinet.
b. Power up the machine and close the door within 5 seconds.
Automatic degaussing will now occur.
c. Should colour aberrations persist, use a degaussing wand to degauss
the monitor and cabinet. Follow the standard field procedures for
degaussing-wand usage.

2.3.3 Commissioning the Machine


Carry out the following procedures to commission the machine:
1. Check that the machine program type and variation match the customer

V Series I recommendations from customers, players and service technicians.
Improvements continue in development methods and in the range of features that
improve earnings capacity. Special attention has been given to features that make
the new MVP model more user friendly, more serviceable, and more reliable. In
addition, new data items have been added to meet jurisdictional requirements, and
a design priority maintains upward compatibility for Mk V Series I games.
Improvements include:
Operator Menu displays are shown in distinctive colours.
Four comment lines provide clearer guidance for players, operators and service
personnel line allocation is Game Comment, Game Feature, Player
Instruction, and Jurisdiction and Lockup Messages (see Figure 3-1).
A single set of game sounds has been selected from Mk V Series I and earlier
models.
Improved statistics include a Game Specific Statistics display to enable more
accurate game and player evaluations.
A new Quick Combination Test shows symbol positions without having to play
a game.
An expanded Game Replay display shows a 10-game history, and each game
has jurisdictional meter readings at game start, game end, and start-of-next
game.
Improved Panic Log displays include date/time stamping, source program error
location, and user-friendly error description.
Other improvements include a changed date/time format, enhanced Machine
Identification lines, a Quick Button Test, and new Diagnostic Meters.

The Mk4/5XR Gaming Machine is operated in two main modes, Play Mode and
Operator Mode. Play Mode permits gameplay while the machine is fully
operational and the cabinet door is closed. Operator Mode allows the operator to
configure the machine, view audit information, carry out machine tests, and reset
machine faults. Turning the Operator Key ON switches the machine from Play
Mode to Operator Mode.

Options
Besides being able to alter machine controls to suit house preferences, the
Mk4/5XR machine provides menu controls for setting important game and player
preferences, including:
Game percentage,
Base credit value (a game credit), machine token amount for coin entry, and
acceptable bill ($ note) denominations,
Links to house and stand-alone progressives in various levels, if fitted.
Hopper coin-collect limit,
Game gamble option,
Volume settings for sounds and tunes.
Refer to Operator Setup/Selection Mode.

Note
Jurisdictional requirements must be followed
when configuring machines.

3.2.1 Player Operation


When the machine is switched on and the cabinet door is closed and locked, the
fluorescent tubes light up and the machine automatically initiates a self-test. If no
faults are detected, gameplay may begin.

Spinning Reel Games


When a player inserts a coin or note, the machine either accepts or rejects the
currency. If the machine accepts the currency, it increments the CREDIT meter on
the game video display by the number of credits. The mid trim pushbuttons
become active and flash. The player may now either insert more currency or press
one of the pushbuttons to play the game. The player selects the number of credits
to bet and this number is shown on the BET meter on the video display. A beep
sound is heard when any of the BET playbuttons is pressed.
The reels then start to spin and after a short interval come to rest. When the
spinning reels stop, the line combinations are evaluated. If the result is a winning
combination, a selected win tune is played. The video display shows the number
of credits won in the WIN meter.

Gamble feature
Some games incorporate a win-gamble feature that provide players with the
chance to double their WIN amount. This feature is initiated by pressing the
GAMBLE pushbutton. The GAMBLE feature may be selected a maximum of 5
times in succession. If players do not wish to gamble their WIN, they may press
the TAKE WIN pushbutton. Pressing TAKE WIN adds the WIN to the CREDIT
meter.

Revision 01 3-5
Machine Modes NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

Payout
Due to the limit on the number of coins that can be held in the hopper, as well as
other payout considerations, there is a limit to the number of coins that the
machine can pay out. This is called the Collect Limit and is set via the Operator
Mode Menu Operator Setup/Selections Machine Options screen display.
A player can collect coins up to the Collect Limit amount by pressing the
COLLECT pushbutton. When the COLLECT button is pressed, the machine
prevents functions such as gameplay and entry of currency until the hopper has
dispensed the coins into the coin tray. The hopper photo-optic detector counts the
coins being dispensed. The CREDIT meter decrements to zero.

When a player presses the COLLECT pushbutton and the value of the game
credits is greater than the Collect Limit:
the message Call attendant - Cancel Credit $##/## is displayed ($##.## is
the value of credits to be paid out).
the attendant hand pays the value of the credits and then resets the machine
by turning the Jackpot Key ON then OFF.
the message Credits paid out $##.## is displayed on the screen.
the CANCEL CREDIT electronic meters and electromechanical meters
record the number of credits paid out.
the game CREDIT on the screen are reset to zero.

Reserve
Pressing the RESERVE pushbutton displays the message MACHINE RESERVED
on the screen. This allows players to reserve a machine for a short period.

Types of Games
Machines generally have one of three game types: multiplier, multiline, and
multiline-multiplier (see Figure 3-2).
Multiplier - A multiplier game allows a player to gamble more than one credit
per game on a single winning line. Each additional credit gambled generally
multiplies the value of the prize by the value of the credits staked.
Multiline - A multiline game allows a player to specify up to 20 lines on which to
bet for a winning combination. Up to 25 credits can be bet on each line. The win
total is calculated by adding each of the win lines.

3.2.5 Machine Self-Monitoring


Self-test
When the machine is switched on, it automatically initiates a self-test that
continues in the background as long as the machine is in play mode. During the
self-test, the machine checks the electronic meter data held in computer memory
and also carries out an audit calculation using essential meter counts.
This self-audit calculation is defined by the formula:
(CASH IN + WINS = CASH OUT + CANCELLED CREDITS + TURNOVER + CURRENT GAME CREDITS).

The memory holds up to three copies of the electronic meter data, METER SET 1,
METER SET 2 and METER SET 3. If the data in one meter set does not match
that in the other two sets, the data of the two identical sets overwrites the single
set.

3-8 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Machine Modes

Security
When the machine is in play mode, it continuously operates the following security
features:
Coin Validator Once in the validator, the coin passes a sensor coil that detects its
diameter, thickness, and magnetic properties. Invalid coins are diverted to the
coin tray. For valid coins, a CSENSE output signal is generated and the coins are
directed past the validator's internal photo-optic detector and on to the coin accept
chute.
Coins passing the opto detector generate a CCREDIT output signal. For a valid
coin to register, a CSENSE pulse must be followed by a CCREDIT pulse. If this
condition is not met, a CERROR output signal is generated. This signal indicates
a Yo-Yo or a coin blockage condition depending on the width of the pulse. On
receiving a CERROR signal, the machine locks up, the error message Yoyo or
Coin Optic Fault is displayed on the screen, and the appropriate audit meter is
incremented. See Section 3.3.7, Fault Mode - Current Lockup Menu.
The position of the coin diverter determines whether accepted coins are directed to
the hopper or the cash box. A photo-optic detector is used to monitor the position
of the diverter and generates the output signal CDIVPOS.
The Coin Handling Interface on the I/O Driver Board converts the output signals
CCREDIT, CSENSE, CERROR and CDIVPOS into the form required by the
Main Board. The machine software then analyses these signals to determine the
validity of inserted coins and to check for fault conditions.
If the inserted coin is valid, the appropriate credits are registered in the game
CREDIT display and gameplay may take place. The audit meters CASH IN and
CREDIT in the accounting menu and the electromechanical meter CASH IN are
incremented accordingly.
Note that the game display shows accumulations and totals in credits, whereas
the electronic meters accumulate in dollars and cents. The electromechanical
meters CASH IN and CASH OUT accumulate in dollars and cents but only
display to the whole dollar the cents not displayed continue in the
accumulation.
All coins go to the hopper until the coins in the hopper reach the level detector
probe, indicating that the hopper is full. At this stage, coins are diverted to the
cash box.
The machine software monitors the signals from the Coin Handling Interface and
unusual conditions and faults are registered by machine lockup, video messages
and increments in the appropriate audit meters diagnostic menus. These fault
conditions are COIN ACCEPTOR FAULT, COIN OPTIC FAULT and COIN
DIVERTER FAULT.
If the machine software indicates that coins intended for the hopper are diverted to
the cash box, or vice versa, the CASH BOX INSTEAD HOPPER or HOPPER
INSTEAD CASH BOX audit meters in the diagnostic menus are incremented.
These totals allow adjustment and balancing of the hopper and cash box
collections.

Revision 01 3-9
Machine Modes NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

Hopper. If the hopper is empty and the player is in credit and presses the
COLLECT pushbutton, the machine locks up and displays a Hopper Empty
message and the audit meter HOPPER EMPTY increments. The hopper is refilled
in these circumstances according to house rules, after which gameplay may
resume.
During a payout, the hopper disc rotates and passes coins onto the coin runner
where they are counted by the hopper photo-optic detector. After passing the
detector, they are deposited in the coin tray for the player to collect. Also:
the COINS OUT electromechanical meter and the CASH OUT audit meter
are incremented by the amount paid out.
the game CREDIT on the screen and the CREDIT audit meter are
decremented by the amount paid out.
a payout message is displayed on the screen showing the value paid out.
The machine monitors the hopper operation and the photo optic detector checks
the coins exiting the hopper. Unusual conditions and faults are registered by
increments in the Diagnostic Meters, video messages and machine lockups. These
fault conditions are ILLEGAL COIN OUT, HOPPER EMPTY, HOPPER
JAMMED, and HOPPER DISCONNECTED.
Bank Note Acceptor The Bank Note Acceptor consists of an optical scanning
unit and a bill stacker contained in a high-security housing. During operation, the
acceptor registers acceptances and rejections. Notes accepted increment the
CASH IN electronic meter and electromechanical meter. Detailed information is
recorded in the Bank Note Acceptor meters, which may be accessed from
Operator Mode / Accounting Information Menu. These meters record the value
and quantity of each note accepted. A record is also kept of the last five notes
accepted.
The machine monitors the bank note acceptor operation and unusual conditions
and faults are registered by increments in the Diagnostic Meters, and by display
messages and machine lockups. The lockups and video messages are NOTE
ACCEPTOR ERROR and NOTE ACCEPTOR OUT OF SERVICE. Should the
bank note stacker door be open, the alarm sounds and the message NOTE
STACKER REMOVED is displayed. A lockup occurs should the bank note
acceptor stacker become full. The lockup description and video message is NOTE
ACCEPTOR FULL.
The Machine Options menu enables the bank note acceptor to be configured ON
or OFF and to recognise specific note denominations.

Door Security
Up to eight mechanical and eight optical security switches may be used to monitor
various door accesses.
If a door fitted with a security switch is opened while the machine is powered:

3-10 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Machine Modes

a DOOR OPEN message is displayed on the screen, specifying which door


is open.
the alarm sound is heard.
the machine locks up, suspending gameplay.
the appropriate audit meter DOOR ACCESSES in the Diagnostic menus is
incremented.

The condition is reset by closing the appropriate door and turning the Jackpot
Reset (Cancel Credit) key clockwise and back again.
The message DOOR MISMATCH MAIN error indicates a machine fault where
the mechanical and the optical door security switches do not agree on the door
open status. This condition is cleared by correcting a faulty or poorly aligned
mechanical door switch.
The security signals are typically distributed as follows:
Security Mechanical Optical
0 Logic cage Main door
1 Top box ----
2 Mechanical meters ----
3 ----- ----
4 Main door ----
5 Bank note stacker ----
6 ----- ----
7 ----- -----
Note: The actual distribution and use of security switches will depend on the individual machine configuration.

3.2.7 Electromechanical Meters


The machine is fitted with electromechanical meters (see Figure 34). These
meters form part of the comprehensive security system by recording the results of
machine operations.

Note
The machine will not function if the hard
meters are not connected.

The eight electromechanical meters, located at the bottom of the top box, provide
a permanent and cumulative record of essential counts. Low boy models locate
the hard meters in the electro-mechanical box which sits on top of the cabinet

3-12 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Machine Modes

Meter Security
The electromechanical meters are monitored for abnormal conditions, meters cage
accesses and meter disconnection. Detection of conditions is actioned as follows:
game play is suspended,
the alarm sound is heard,
an appropriate lockup and operator message is actioned, being selected
from: METERS FAULTY, METERS CAGE OPEN, METERS
DISCONNECTED.
the appropriate electronic meter increments, being selected from: METERS
FAULTY, METERS CAGE OPEN, and METERS DISCONNECTED.
The condition is reset when the machine condition is cleared, the lockup is
removed, and the door is closed. Refer to Table 3-37 for a listing of the Current
Lockups.

3.2.9 Audit Meters (Soft Meters)


The audit meters (soft meters) record a variety of details relating to machine
operation, gameplay and player interaction, as well as a variety of statistical
counts, security events and past games. Players have the assurance that there is a
record kept of recent win or pay situations.
When the machine is switched on, it automatically initiates a self-test that
continues in the background as long as the machine is in play mode. During the
self-test, the machine checks the audit meter data held in memory.
Some jurisdictions require audit metering data to be stored in triplicate in three
separate battery-backed RAM chips. In the case of a meter malfunction, where
none of the meters sets match, the machine displays the error message 3 WAY
MEMORY ERROR and the machine locks up. This message indicates a serious
machine malfunction.
Failure in the self audit calculation also causes a machine lockup with the message
SELF AUDIT ERROR being displayed.

Resetting Metering and Self Audit Errors


To clear a metering or self audit error, the memory fault must be rectified and
correct operations re-established with all corrupted meters set to zero. The lockup
is removed by turning the Operator Key ON, following the on-screen guidance,
and then turning the Operator Key OFF to return to gameplay. After recovering
from a memory error, some electronic meters are reset to zero. The information
held in these electronic meters includes:
Accounting Information Menu items (Jurisdictional, Periodic, Game Replay,
Game / Gamble / Collect Statistics).
Diagnostic Information Menu items (Diagnostic, Error Log, Panic Log,
Bank Note Acceptor Information).
Operator Setup / Selections Menu items (Machine Options, Real Time

5.1 Physical Description


The power supply assembly provides power to the electronic and electrical devices
within the machine. It also performs electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering
and protects the system from adverse input disturbances such as lightning and
voltage fluctuation.
The power supply metal enclosure is divided into two separate areas by an internal
metal bracket. The area on one side of the bracket accommodates the mains filter,
switches, fuses, surge protection, the solid-state relay, and wiring between the
components mounted to the metal enclosure. The area on the other side of the
bracket accommodates the off-line power supply, which consists of a switched
mode power converter PCBA.
For easy access, the mains switch is located in a separate switch box that is
positioned towards the front of the cabinet. The switch box is linked to the power
supply box using mains cable. The mains ON/OFF switch controls the power to
all equipment in the cabinet, apart from any equipment that may be powered from
the general purpose outlet (GPO). See Figure 5-1 for the location of the power
supply assembly location and Figure 5-2 for the assembly components.

5.3 Functional Specification

WARNING
The mains voltage selector switch must be
set for the correct voltage range before
power is connected to the machine.
Selecting the wrong voltage will cause
irrevocable damage to the machine.

5.3.1 Input Requirements


The power supply assembly is designed to accept a nominal mains input voltage
of either 110/120 V AC or 220/230/240 V AC. The mains input voltage defines
the monitor outlet voltage and the GPO voltage. The mains selector switch must
be set to the correct mains input voltage before power is connected. This switch is
mounted on the metal housing of the power control assembly. The input voltage
ranges and current requirements are as follows:
220 V AC - 10% to 240 V AC + 10%, 50 Hz at 6 A maximum (198-264 V AC)
or
110 V AC - 10% to 120 V AC + 10%, 60 Hz at 10 A maximum (99-132 V AC)
Physical Connection
Mains input is via a standard IEC socket mounted on the metal housing.
5.3.2 Output Requirements
Mains GPO
Voltage and Current
+0%, -2% of the input mains voltage at 0 A to 1 A.
Physical Connection
Mains output is via a standard female IEC socket. This output is separately
switched and fused. This fuse is externally accessible.

Monitor Output
Voltage and Current
+0%, -2% of the input mains voltage at 0 A to 1.2 A.
Physical Connection
The monitor output is provided via a Molex Minifit Junior 6-pin connector plug
mounted on the metal housing. This output is separately fused, and the fuse is
externally accessible.

Generic Output 24 V DC
Provides power to the Interface Board for distribution to the Main Board, the I/O
Driver Board, and other low-voltage machine components and peripherals.
Maximum current is specified considering present requirements and allowing for
future flexibility.

Revision 01 5-7
Power Supply Assembly NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

Vout = +24 V DC +/-5%


Iout = 0.5 to 15.0 A continuous
Ripple = 200 mVp-p, measured at 0-20 MHz

Fluoro Output 24 V DC
Provides power for the fluorescent lighting system.
Vout = +24 V DC +/-5%
Iout = 0.0 to 2.0 A continuous
Ripple = 200 mVp-p, measured at 0-20 MHz

Output 12 V DC
Provides power for subsidiary equipment. Isolation of 3 kV is required between
this output, other secondaries and primary.
Vout = +12 V DC +/-5%
Iout = 0.0 to 3.0 A continuous
Ripple = 200 mVp-p, measured at 0-20 MHz

Overcurrent Protection
Generic Output 24 V - The output is limited to constant output current in the
range 17.1 A to 22 A. The response time for the overcurrent circuit is between 20
and 150 ms. Shorter response times can cause malfunction due to short circuit
glitches.
The power will recover if the overcurrent duration is shorter than the recovery
time. If the overcurrent duration is longer than the recovery time, the power
supply shuts down and has to be switched off/on for 1-3 seconds to recover.
During shutdown state, the output 24 voltage is less than 1 V DC.
Current limits are stated for no load condition in the fluoro 24 V output. Generic
output protection includes a 2 A current margin dedicated to the fluoro lamps.
Therefore, the current limits can be reduced by up to 2 A depending on the fluoro
load.
Fluoro Output 24 V - The output is limited to constant output current above 2 A.
The response time for the overcurrent circuit is specified in seconds. Shorter
times can cause malfunction of the electronic ballast and result in the fluoro tube
not starting. The output will recover when the overcurrent is removed.
Output 12 V - The output is limited to constant output current in the range 3.1-
7 A. The power will recover when the overcurrent is removed.

Overvoltage Protection
All peripherals connected to the 24 V output rail are protected against an
accidental increase of the output voltage. When the voltage rises above 281 V,
the entire power supply will shut down.

5-8 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Power Supply Assembly

Inrush Current
Some peripherals exhibit significant inrush current when first powered. The
power supply has to cope with these temporary transients and remain stable.
Maximum steady-state current drawn from the 24 V output is 14.45 A. If a
Westrex printer is fitted, it causes an additional current spike that increases the
maximum current to 17 A. The steady-state current limitation for the output is
17.1 A. Therefore, the off-line converter is capable of handling the current
demands of normal machine operation.

5.3.3 Control Signals


Low-Power Mode Signal
This signal is generated by the Main Board and is used to switch the machine to
low-power mode.

Power Fail Signal


The power fail signal provides a warning to the system of imminent mains failure.
The power supply is designed such that one full missing period of mains (50 Hz or
60 Hz) cannot have any effect on the correct operation of the power supply
assembly. The PFAIL signal is generated by the power converter PCBA when the
input mains rectified voltage drops below a threshold. This feature maintains the
+24 V DC output within regulation for a minimum of 25 ms following a power
fail signal. This allows enough time for mechanical meters to finish counting and
for the CPU to back up the audit data held in the machine RAM before the power
shuts down.
After mains voltage recovery, PFAIL can be inactivated when the level of the
24 V output reaches at least 22.5 V.

5.3.4 Physical Connections


External Mains Switch Outputs
The mains switch is connected to the power supply box via a 4-pin AMP, Mate-N-
Lock compatible, universal connector. This connector is used for its high current
capability per pin.
The pin functions of this connector are shown below.

The coin validator, coin chuting and diverter solenoid are mounted to a panel on
the inside of the cabinet door. Coins inserted into the machine pass through the
validator which compares the properties of inserted coins with preset limits stored
in the validator software. The validator sends signals to the Main Board, via the
Interface Board and I/O Driver Board that allow the machine software to
determine the validity of the coins. Accepted coins are directed to the accept
chute, and rejected coins are directed to the chip tray via the reject chute.
The coin diverter solenoid is powered from the 24 V DC supply. The coin
validator receives 12 V DC derived from the 24 V DC supply using a switch mode
regulator on the Driver Board.
The machine uses the Condor CN133A Validator.

6.2 Basic Operation


The following sections describe the operation of the coin chute assembly.

6.2.1 Validation
The Condor Coin Validator CN133A (see Figure 62) is pre-programmed to
accept a specific coin type and cannot be reprogrammed in the field. The validator
is clearly labelled with the pre-programmed coin type.
Once in the validator, the coin passes a sensor coil that detects its diameter,
thickness, and magnetic properties.
The validator uses two sets of sensors for coin discrimination: opto and inductive.
This combination gives a high degree of security.
The inductive sensor pair has been designed to achieve a linear field independent
of coin position. In a typical validator, the coin position relative to sensors is
critical for accurate discrimination.
Two inductive sensors are positioned on opposite sides of the coin path and are
switched between in-phase and anti-phase as the coin passes. The network
impedance is affected by the coin thickness and conductivity. The resulting
amplitude change is measured by a microcontroller and forms the basis of the
inductive discrimination. The readings are compared against preset limits stored
in the validator.
The opto system measures coin diameter. There are three longitudinal IR beams
across the coin path. A 16-bit timer uses a 3-point measurement system to obtain a
precise measurement of diameter. The resulting calculation of diameter is
compared against preset limits. Like the inductive sensors, the opto sensors are
part of a closed loop system that maintains very fast triggering for accurate timing.
It also ensures that slight variations which occur from mechanism to mechanism
(such as component tolerance) are irrelevant.

6-4 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Coin Handling Assembly

6.2.2 Rejected Coins


If both sets of sensor readings are not within the required limits, the validator
rejects the inserted coin and sends it to the coin reject tray.

6.2.3 Accepted Coins


If both sets of sensor readings are within the required limits, the coin is deemed
true, the Valid Advance Coin Signal (VACS) output pulse is generated, and the
coin accept solenoid is activated. This solenoid is attached to a gate that opens
when the solenoid is activated, allowing the valid coin to fall directly into the
accept chute.
As the coin exits the validator, it passes a photo-optic sensor and a CREDIT
output pulse is generated.
Accepted coins are directed to either the hopper or the cash box, depending on the
position of the coin diverter, which depends on whether or not the hopper is full.

6.2.4 Alarm
If the validator detects a coin travelling in the wrong direction (yo-yo) or a failed
or blocked credit or reject optic, an Alarm output pulse is generated.
On receiving this Alarm signal:
the gaming machine shuts down
an alarm is sounded
a fault message is displayed on the screen

6.2.5 Inhibit All


For greater functionality and overall security, the host machine can send the
INHIBIT ALL signal to prevent the validator from accepting any coins or tokens.

6.2.6 Self Calibration


The validator automatically recalibrates itself in relation to its environment
approximately every 210 seconds.

6.2.6 Diagnostics
At power up, the validator automatically runs a self diagnostic test on the
following critical areas:
Inductive Coils
Reflective Sensors
Diameter Opto Sensors
Credit Opto Sensors
If there is a failure in any one of these areas, the LED on the back of the validator
will flash red continuously and the validator will not accept any coins until power
is removed and the fault condition corrected.

6.2.7 Debris Flap


The CN133A Validator incorporates a debris flap that allows direct access to the
coin path for inspection and the clearance of coin jams.

6-6 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Coin Handling Assembly

6.3 Removal and Replacement


To remove the validator:
1. Open the cabinet door and switch OFF the machine.
2. Carefully unplug the loom from the validator to the Interface Board. Do not
pull on the wires.
3. Push the assembly upwards to the full extent of the top locating groove.
This action causes the validator to come free of the bottom locating groove.
4. Swing the bottom of the unit outwards and down to clear the coin chute
assembly.

To replace the validator, reverse the above procedure.

6.4 Clearing Coin Jams


When a coin jams in the coin validator assembly or chuting, the machine locks up

6.5 CN133A Coin Validator Connector Pinouts


The connector J1 on the right of the validator connects to P12 on the Interface
Board.
The Interface Board connects P12 to the coin interface section of the I/O Driver
Board which receives the signals from the coin validator and solenoid optics and
converts them into the form required by the Main Board. For a description of the
coin handling interface refer to the I/O Driver Board chapter.
The signals to and from the coin validator are shown in the following table.

6.6 Diverter Solenoid and Photo-Optic Sensor

6.6.1 Physical Description


Figure 6-3 shows the diverter solenoid and the photo-optic sensor, mounted on the
coin chute assembly.

Figure 6-3 Diverter Solenoid and Photo-Optic Sensor

6.6.2 Basic Operation


The solenoid plunger is mechanically linked to the coin diverter in the coin chute
assembly. When no power is applied to the solenoid, the plunger is extended and
valid coins fall into the hopper. When 24 V DC is applied to the solenoid, the
plunger retracts, causing the diverter to redirect valid coins to the cash box. A tab
at the lower end of the plunger interrupts the beam in the photo-optic sensor when
the plunger is fully extended. When this beam is interrupted, the signal CDIVPOS
to the Driver Board is set to high.
In this way, the machine software can indirectly monitor the destination of
accepted coins by monitoring the position of the diverter. If the machine software
detects that five consecutive coins intended for the hopper are diverted to the cash
box, or vice versa, the machine locks up with the fault message COIN
DIVERTER FAULT (refer to Table 6-2).

7.1 Technical Description

7.1.1 Overview
The Aristocrat Bank Note Acceptor and ancillary items provide advanced
solutions for the entry, security, analysis, and accounting of note currency. It
communicates with the Main Board via generic serial channel 1 which is
connected via P18 on the Interface Board.
The full system provides a range of features, including:
A bank note acceptor for entry, sensing and acceptance of note currency.
The unit is equipped with a microcontroller, RAM memory, and an
operating system. It is accessed via the main door.
A Stacker unit holds accepted notes in a highly secure environment. It is
electronically linked to the bank note acceptor and stores details of machine
performance and bank note acceptor processing. It is accessed via the belly
panel door.
The Aristocrat Dual Cage Assembly houses the bank note acceptor and
stacker while allowing note entry to be conveniently placed on the mid
trim. The assembly encloses the stacker behind the belly panel door and the
bank note acceptor stacker cage door.
The illuminated Intelligent Bezel facilitates player recognition of the note
insertion area and displays acceptable note denominations. The bezel also
provides maintenance error messages for abnormal events occurring in the
acceptor and the stacker.
Diagnostics information on machine operations and historical details are
available through the RS-232 port.

7.1.2 Physical Description


The bank note acceptor (see Figure 7-1) consists of an optical scanning unit linked
to a bank note stacker for the entry and storage of a range of note denominations.
The entire unit, located within the bank note acceptor dual-cage assembly, is
attached to the inside of the main door.
The note entry channel is situated on the mid trim, together with the pushbuttons,
coin entry assembly, and note-denomination display panel. The bank note stacker
is accessed for removal and emptying by opening the belly panel door and then
opening the bank note acceptor security cage door.
Opening the main door is only necessary should access to the bank note acceptor
scanning unit, controls, and indicators become necessary.

Bank Note Acceptor


Mechanics and Transport
The bank note acceptor employs four mounting posts which locate in the dual
cage assembly. The main bank note acceptor housing supports and aligns the
drive rollers and drive stepper motor while providing mounts for the other
subassemblies of the unit. The drive rollers provide power to the drive belts
which transport the notes or coupons past the circuitry and out of the unit to the
stacker.
The two drive belts are individually tensioned to assure a reliable and straight
feed.

Upper and Lower Guides


The upper guide assembly of the Bank Note Acceptor supports and locates the
pressure rollers that force the note to the drive belts for traction. It also supports
and locates part of the validation circuitry which examines the note as it passes
through the unit. The upper guide clips into position on the main unit and is
pivoted at its lower end. This allows the note channel to be opened so that
maintenance and cleaning operations can be carried out and any jammed notes can
be removed.

and locates additional validation circuitry and the magnetic read head. The guide
assembly is integrated into the housing assembly, and the unit is factory aligned to
the upper guide for accurate sensing operations.

Bank Note Stacker


The stacker assembly (see Figure 7-4) is a sturdy, locked steel box capable of
storing 500 stacked currency notes.
Access to the stored notes is only possible via the belly panel door and then
unlocking the hinged, steel, stacker cage door with a security key. The message
DOOR OPEN: BILL STACKER displays on the screen when the belly panel is
opened. A further message, STACKER REMOVED displays when the stacker
cage door is lowered and the communications link to the bank note acceptor is
broken.
The stacker features a self-aligning connector that provides electrical connection
and aligns the stacker to the bank note acceptor.
The interior of the stacker contains a spring loaded pressure plate which supports
the note stack and a pair of note support rails on which presented notes lie prior to
the stacking operation. The front surface of the stacker incorporates a handle and
a clear plastic label retainer.

An upper cavity is created in the box which contains the stacker drive mechanism
sealed from the note compartment. The compartment contains a blind mate
connector to the bank note acceptor, and the memory module for electronically
storing stacker identification, diagnostic and content information.
A motor/pusher plate assembly within the stacker accomplishes note stacking.
The unit consists of a motor driven, slider-crank mechanism. On receipt of the
appropriate signal from the bank note acceptor, the motor turns through one
revolution which cycles the pusher plate through one complete linear extension-
retraction cycle. On extension, the pusher plate moves the note past the note
support rail against the pressure plate. On retraction, the note is trapped below the
support rail and held there by the pressure plate.

Security
The note stacker is fitted with a lock, and two additional locks may be fitted to the
stacker cage door. A communications link between the note stacker and the bank
note acceptor is monitored by the machine software. When the stacker cage door
is lowered to gain access to the stacker, this link is broken and the machine will
lock up with the error message Bill Stacker Removed being displayed on the
screen.

Note Entry
Operation commences when a note of a suitable denomination, as indicated on the
note entry display, is inserted in the bank note acceptor. The note may be inserted
either end first and either face up. The unit grips the inserted note and moves it
over the magnetic head and optical system.

Revision 01 7-7
Bank Note Acceptor NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

The note is evaluated and either accepted or rejected. If the note is accepted,
credits are issued only after the note has exited the bank note acceptor and reached
the security stacker. If the note is rejected, it is returned to the player.
A note should only be given three read attempts before it is classed as unreadable.

Electronics Assembly
The electronics assembly provides the intelligence that controls all functional,
validation, communications, diagnostic, and display functions. The bank note
acceptor electronics consists of a microprocessor board mounted on the main
board. The assembly is mounted on the electronics tray, which can be removed
for repair and replacement. The electronics tray also serves as a mount for a self-
aligning connector that electronically connects the bank note acceptor to the
stacker.
The main electronics board contains the input connector (see Figure 7-6) which
connects to the host machine, the top-accessed DIP switch for bank note acceptor
functional setup, and the status LED display.
Figure 7-7 displays a block diagram of the bank note acceptor interconnection
with other assemblies.

Microcontroller
The microcontroller is a Dallas Semiconductor 5000 configured as an integrated
assembly mounted on a SIMM printed circuit board with a 10-year battery-backed
32 kbytes RAM, and a real time clock. The microcontroller runs at 16 MHz
enabling a range of advanced functions to be implemented.

Scanning System
The scanning transport mechanics consist of a continuous belt and a pressure
roller configuration. The belts are organised to provide an area of optical
inspection within the currency channel so that vertical and horizontal inspections
are possible. The horizontal analysis is performed by the Side Looking Sensors
(SLS) and is used exclusively for the detection of tails and/or strings attached to
bank notes or coupons. Any unusual activity detected by the SLS system is cause
for automatic rejection and reporting.

Stacker
Housed within the stacker is a special memory device that has a serial
communications interface and is supported by a 10-year lithium battery for non-
volatile memory storage. The memory can be interrogated by a proprietary system
when the stacker is inserted into a special purpose external cradle. This facility is
not used in NSW.

Intelligent Bezel.
The bezel assembly is mounted to the uppermost portion of the upper guide
assembly. The assembly provides currency alignment and guidance into the bank
note acceptor transport mechanism
To facilitate the player recognition of the note insertion area, eight green LEDs
flash in a runway type effect when the machine is in idle mode. A ninth, red
LED flashes if the bank note acceptor operation is inhibited for any reason.
Selected green LEDs flash to indicate machine conditions requiring attention. See

7.1.3 VFM4 Non-isolated Serial Interface


The serial communication protocol used to interface with the bank note acceptor
derives from the Mars GL5 standard and is referred to as VFM4. This interface
provides one-way communications with the control system where messages are
sent, via the DATA line, from the bank note acceptor to the EGM in response to

7-10 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Bank Note Acceptor

the control lines. Three control lines are used, ACCEPT, SEND (from the control
system to the bank note acceptor), and INTERRUPT from the bank note acceptor
to the EGM.
In normal operation, the EGM activates the ACCEPT line by pulling it low, and
the bank note acceptor is ready to accept money. After the validation process, a
DENOMINATION message for successful evaluation or a REJECT message for
unsuccessful processing is ready to be sent to the control system.
The bank note acceptor pulls the INTERRUPT line low and informs the EGM of
its intention to send a message. The control system responds by dropping the
SEND line low which grants permission to the bank note acceptor to send data.
After the SEND line becomes low, data comes out via the DATA line in a serial
fashion with 1 start bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit, at 600 baud rate. After the
control system receives the last bit it raises the SEND LINE high. The bank note
acceptor responds by raising the INTERRUPT line high which completes the
transmission of the first message.

Figure 7-9 VFM4 Protocol - Accept and Return Messages

Should the validation be successful, a DENOMINATION message is sent to the


control system which then has to determine whether to accept or return the note.
If the note is going to be returned, the control system raises the ACCEPT line after
the INTERRUPT line goes high, and keeps the ACCEPT line high for a time.
This state tells the bank note acceptor to return the note. The rejection occurs
when the bank note acceptor reverses the transport and returns the note with the
RETURNED message.

Revision 01 7-11
Bank Note Acceptor NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

If the control system decides to accept the note, the absence of the RETURNED
pulse on the ACCEPT line is interpreted by the bank note acceptor as an
acceptance. The note then passed through the transport system to the stacker with
the message VEND.
In both cases, a second message, RETURN or VEND, is ready to be sent to the
control system by the bank note acceptor, and the same timing sequence is
repeated for the control lines. The communication session then ends.
A possible third message, STACKER FULL or FAILURE (the bank note acceptor
and stacker cannot stack a note) can be sent to the control system, and the timing
sequence is repeated for the message. The communication session then ends.

must not interfere with the unit.

A feature of the Aristocrat bank note acceptor gaming machine is the method of
housing the bank note acceptor. The unit is positioned within a dual cage
assembly which supports the retaining pins located on each side of the bank note
acceptor assembly (see Figure 7-1). Electrical connection is through a single
connector which supplies both power and communications. The connector is
easily accessed from the side of the unit when the main door is open.
Connection to the bank note stacker is automatically made through a blind mate
connector located at the bottom of the bank note acceptor unit.

7.3.1 Clearing the Bank Note Stacker


The procedure for clearing the bank note stacker is strictly controlled by the house
management.
The stacker can be accessed and removed independently from the bank note
assembly by following the procedures outlined in this section.

Removal
To remove the stacker:
1. Open the main door and turn the machine power OFF.
2. Open the belly panel door.
3. Unlock and pull down the stacker cage door. The lock up Stacker Removed
message occurs.
4. Hold the stacker handle and withdraw the stacker from the machine.
5. After the stacker is withdrawn, the stacker door must be unlocked before the
notes can be withdrawn. Each stacker may be numbered to assist accounting
and control operations.

5. Turn the machine power ON; close and lock the main door.

7.3.3 Clearing Bank Note Acceptor Jams


If a jam occurs, the unit is usually able to clear itself within a short period as an
automatic process comes into effect. The unit runs the motor forward and then
reverses in an attempt to clear the jam. This routine continues for five attempts -
should the jam persist, a fault message is initiated and a machine lock-up occurs.
The scanning and transport channel of the bank note acceptor passes currency in a
direct process to the stacker. Should a note become lodged within the scanning
channel, see Figures 7-1 and 7-3 and complete the following steps to clear the
jam:
1. Open the main door and turn the machine power OFF.
2. Unclamp the bank note acceptor outer cage top catch and pivot assembly
forward.

7.4.2 Periodic Maintenance


The bank note acceptor and stacker require only a minimal amount of maintenance
which can be provided while the units are in operating positions.
Occasional wiping of the plastic bezel surface is all that is required to remove
surface deposits and smudges. A soft lint-free cloth dampened with a 90%
solution of isopropyl alcohol is recommended for cleaning.

Caution
Caution must be exercised not to flood the
bezel area with liquids due to the electronics
in the bezel unit and because liquids must
not seep down into the bank note acceptor
units below the bezel area.
Do not use a solvent other than isopropyl
alcohol as permanent damage to the bezel
assembly and other items may result.

Over a period of time, dirt from the surface of the notes will accumulate on the
pressure rollers, drive belt surfaces and bank note acceptor optics. These areas
should be cleaned to ensure reliable operation.
To clean rollers, belt surfaces, and validation optics, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the bank note acceptor as described in Clearing Bank Note Jams in
this chapter.
2. Using a soft lint-free cloth dampened with 90% isopropyl alcohol, wipe the
note channel surfaces on both the upper and lower guides to remove any
surface dirt. Pay particular attention to the optics area and the magnetic
head when removing deposits from the surfaces.
3. On the upper guide assembly, clean the surface of the pressure rollers. The
belt surface may be cleaned by using a thumb to rotate one of the drive
rollers while holding the cleaning cloth against the surface of the belt.
Again, caution should be used to prevent excess liquid from reaching the
bank note acceptor internals.

7.4.3 Video Level Calibration


Should the bank note acceptor exhibit an unusually low level of acceptance, a
video level calibration can be performed as described below.
Video Level reference paper (Part No. CBV-1000) is required for this procedure.
Do not use any other paper to perform this procedure.
Video Adjustment Procedure
1. Apply power to the EGM and ensure the bank note acceptor runway lights
are operating normally.
2. Locate the DIP switches at the top of the bank note acceptor (see Figure 7-
12) and turn DIP switch 9 ON (away from the front bezel).

8.1 Technical Description

8.1.1 Physical Description


The Mk4/5XR machine is fitted with a short bowl Aristocrat Disc Hopper (ADH).
The hopper components and operating procedures are the same as the standard
Aristocrat Disc Hopper (see Figures 8-1 and 8-2).
The hopper is mounted onto a base plate that slides into the base of the cabinet
and is locked in position by a spring-loaded release pin. When the hopper is
pushed into position, the socket automatically connects to the plug on the cabinet
base. The socket is wired to the hopper PCB, which controls the hopper.
The hopper PCB drives a 24 V DC motor, which rotates the disc within the hopper
through the gearbox. The motor and gearbox is one assembly and cannot be
replaced separately.

Hopper NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

The moving parts of the hopper, which are rotated by the motor (see Figure 8-3),
are:
the disc.
the spigot.
the coin stirrer.

The hopper PCB transmits two outputs from detectors:


Output to the Main Board from a probe that detects when the hopper is full.
Output to the Main Board from a photo-optic detector, which detects coins as
they are dispensed from the hopper.

The photo-optic detector is mounted in one of two positions, Position X or


Position Y.

8.1.2 Basic Operation


The hopper holds and dispenses coins. Coins entering the machine are fed into
the hopper bowl or the cash box chute through the coin handling system. Coins
are fed into the cash box when the hopper is full.
The hopper dispenses coins into the coin tray when the player has credits and
presses the COLLECT pushbutton. Coins are dispensed via the hopper coin chute
which juts out through the slot in the door reflector panel. The hopper can pay out
any number of coins up to the cancel credit amount.
If the player presses the COLLECT pushbutton when the number of coins in credit
is greater than the cancel credit amount, the machine locks up. The credits are paid
as a book pay by the cashier, and the machine must be reset using the Cancel
Credit (Jackpot Reset) key.
If the player presses the COLLECT pushbutton when the number of coins in credit
is below the cancel credit amount but greater than the number of coins in the
hopper, all coins in the hopper are dispensed. The machine then locks up. The
attendant must refill the hopper and reset the machine before the balance of coins
is dispensed.
If the machine pays out too many coins, or not enough, the machine locks up and
cannot be played until the attendant has fixed the problem.

8-6 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Hopper

8.1.3 Functional Description


Coin Dispensing
On receiving a hopper drive signal from the Main Board, the hopper PCB starts
the hopper motor. The motor rotates the disc in an anticlockwise direction.
As the disc turns, the coins are caught between the disc pins and the edge of the
spigot. If there is more than one coin between two pins on the disc, the excess is
cleared by the second coin wipe-off spring. The second coin wiper pawl then
ejects the payout coins from the disc into the hopper coin chute. For each coin
entering the hopper coin chute, the photo-optic detector sends a signal to the Main
Board. The coin runner guides the coins into the hopper coin chute.
Each coin exiting the hopper interrupts the photo-optic detector which sends a
signal to the main board via the hopper PCB and the interface board. The Main
Board counts the optic interrupts and when the correct payout number is reached,
terminates the hopper drive signal to the hopper PCB. The hopper PCB stops the
motor by an electronic braking action. The second coin wiper pawl prevents the
next coin from falling from the hopper disc.

Hopper Full Detection


A probe is fitted onto the hopper bowl to detect a full hopper (see Figure 8-1).
When the coins reach the probe, they create an electrical circuit through the coins
to ground. The probe is monitored by the Main Board. If the probe indicates that
the hopper is full, the software operates the diverter solenoid (situated on the front
of the inner door) which diverts the coins to the cash box. The position of the
probe in the hopper can be adjusted to alter the maximum coin level.

Coin Jamming Prevention


A spigot and coin stirrer, which are friction fitted to the disc, keep the coins
moving in the hopper bowl (see Figure 8-3). In addition, a spring-loaded coin
slider prevents the hopper from jamming due to coin stacking.
Two baffles, secured with spring-loaded bolts, control the coin level in the bowl.
The casting plate is connected to the casting by four bolts. The top bolt is fixed,
but the other three are spring loaded. This is to prevent serious damage to the
casting if there is a large coin jam in the bowl.
The opening on the hopper casting allows dirt and foreign objects to escape.

In the event of a coin jam, the motor will automatically stop and then restart after
about eight seconds. If this does not remove the jam:
the motor automatically stops.
the machine locks up.
the software displays a fault message on the video monitor.

8.1.4 Hopper Interface Signals


The Aristocrat Disc Hopper interfaces with the Main Board via the 14-way Minifit
connector P25 on the Interface Board.

9.1 Ceronix Monitor - General Description


The video monitor assembly consists of a metal chassis manufactured by
Aristocrat, a cathode ray tube from RCA Thompson or Philips, and electronics
supplied by Ceronix. For full servicing details refer to the manufacturers manual.
The video monitor is a 20" (51 cm) VGA type capable of up to 640 x 480 pixel
resolution (the resolution used is 640 x 400 pixels). The major components of the
video monitor assembly are the cathode ray tube (CRT), the video monitor printed
circuit boards (PCBs) and the video monitor chassis. The monitor assembly also
includes an isolation transformer because it can not run directly from the mains
supply.
The CRT and video PCBs are all mounted onto a common metal chassis that
slides along the game display shelf into the cabinet. The video monitor assembly
is secured in place by a single screw, inserted from the underside of the game
display shelf.
The slide-in chassis system enables the video monitor assembly to be removed and
replaced easily, and also to connect to the rest of the machine via a single, self-
aligning, multi-pin connector on the back of the chassis. This connector transmits
the monitor power and the video drive signals from the video controller, which is
built into the ARM250 microprocessor.
The PCBs associated with the monitor assembly are (see Figure 9-1):
Picture Control PCB
Main Monitor Chassis PCB
CRT Neckboard PCB

The Picture Control PCB provides for picture adjustment and is located at the
front of the monitor assembly for easy access.

Video Monitor NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

9.2 Technical Description


For a full technical description, refer to separate Ceronix service manual.

9.2.1 Power Supply


The Ceronix monitor requires isolated mains input which is supplied by an
isolated transformer box mounted on the inside of the monitor chassis. A power
supply regulator circuit converts the isolated mains input to the voltages required
by the monitor.

9.2.2 Adjustment Procedures


The Picture Control PCB is located at the front of the monitor assembly for easy
access. It provides the following controls and adjustments for the monitor picture.
Horizontal Raster size
Vertical Raster size
Vertical Picture position
Horizontal Picture position
Video Gain (Contrast)

These controls can be adjusted only to a limited amount. The brightness will be
maintained throughout the life of the unit by the auto-brightness circuit.
All colours are automatically adjusted by the auto bias circuit and will remain
constant throughout the life of the unit.
Pincushion distortion is automatically adjusted using the auto bias circuit.

9.5 Degaussing
Magnetic interference can cause colour aberrations on the monitor screen. To
restore the colour purity of the monitor picture, the monitor and cabinet need to be
degaussed.
Note that the monitor colour aberrations can occur due to normal delivery
movements, installation operations, and through leaving the main door open
during power-up processes.
The monitor assembly is fitted with an automatic degaussing coil and circuitry that
emits a degaussing pulse during power up, provided the machine has been without
power for 30 minutes. This time delay enables the circuit varistors to cool
sufficiently and create enough energy to degauss both the monitor's ferrous
content and the cabinet.
To carry out degaussing:
1. Power down the machine and wait for a 30-minute period to elapse. This
time delay enables the monitor circuit varistors to cool sufficiently and
create enough energy to degauss both the monitor's ferrous content and that
of the cabinet.
2. Power up the machine and close the door within 5 seconds. Automatic
degaussing will now occur.
3. If the aberration persists due to the presence of a particularly strong
magnetic field, it will be necessary to make use of a degaussing wand.
Follow the standard field procedures for degaussing-wand usage.

10.1 General Description


The Electromechanical Meter Board is mounted to the reflector panel in the top
box (see Figure 10-1) or in the low boy meter cover when there is no top box. It is
a conventional double sided PCB connected to the Main Board using a 26-way
ribbon cable via the Interface Board.
The PCB provides physical location for up to nine electromechanical meters and
connection for a further seven. (For a listing of the function of the meters, refer to
Chapter 3, Machine Modes). There are 16 meter outputs which can be configured
to drive various components. Eight outputs are used for the standard set of
meters. The ninth drive is reserved. The remaining seven outputs are open to
configuration. The PCB also acts as an interface for security, meter drive outputs
and a light tower, if used.

10.2.1 Serial Interface


The Electromechanical Meter Board communicates with the Main Board logic via
the Interface Board. The Main Board sends a stream of data, clocked to the chip,
to the Electromechanical Meter Board. The PCB circuitry reads the data and
increments the appropriate meter. The logic signals from the Main Board are
optically coupled.
The interface also allows for data from the Electromechanical Meter Board to be
sent to the Main Board logic in the event of meter failure, disconnection or
security access.
Connection is via a 26-way ribbon cable header to connector P6 on the Interface
Board.

10-4 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Electromechanical Meters

10.2.2 Overcurrent Protection


An 'intelligent' power switch is used for switching power on and off through the
meter drive outputs. The power switch used incorporates built-in overcurrent
sensing and protection.
The Texas Instruments TPIC2802 Intelligent-Power switch with over-current
protection is used. Power supply provides 24 VDC 5% for lamps (Is = 1A) and 5
VDC 5% for logic (regulated) (Icc = 100 mA). The logic signals are optically
coupled from the main board and the inputs are connected via a Schmitt Trigger.
The baud rate (bit clock) of the SPI is 8KHz 20%.

10.2.3 Meter Drive Outputs


The meter drive output interface allows the connection of systems requiring
electromechanical meters drive pulses for audit functions. DACOM systems may
be connected to the machine in this way.
Connection is via a 10-way ribbon cable header.

10.2.4 PCB Expansion


An expansion interface has been incorporated into the PCB design to allow an
additional set of up to seven electromechanical meters. These meters can be
configured through the machine software to identify various machine functions.
Connection is via a 10-way ribbon cable header.

10.2.5 Light Tower Interface


When a light tower is used, it is connected to the machine via the interface with
the Electromechanical Meter Board. The PCB directs the lamp control signals
from the Main Board logic (via the Interface Board) to the light tower lamps
through four of the extra seven meter drive outputs.
Connection is via a 6-way wafer connector.

10.2.6 Security Interface


The security interface provides a connection for the Electromechanical Meter
Board to a mechanical security switch for monitoring meter accesses.
Connection is via a 7-way wafer connector.

10.2.7 Meter Detection


Data received from the Main Board logic is written to an output chip and then read
back. If there is a discrepancy between the initial data written and the data read
back, there is a fault. The Electromechanical Meter Board will then inform the
Main Board logic of a malfunction.

11.4.1 ARM250 Microprocessor


CPU
The ARM250 microprocessor communicates with on board peripherals via a high
speed 32 bit memory bus, an 8 bit I/O bus, and a serial (SPI) interface (see Figure
11-3). The ARM250 contains the following 5 major blocks within a single chip:
the ARM250 CPU
I/O controller (IOC)
video controller (VIDC)
memory controller (MEMC)
I/O expansion block (IOEB).

The ARM250 is a complete computer system on a chip comprising a 32-bit RISC


microprocessor, a memory controller with DRAM interface, a bit-mapped video
controller and an I/O controller. It is suitable for wide range of cost-sensitive
embedded control, portable and consumer game applications - particularly those
which require a video display.
The device is designed to drive up to 4 Mbytes of DRAM directly at 12 MHz, and
at this speed it can sustain approximately 10 MIPS.

I/O Data Bus


The ARM250 is designed to be easily interfaced to standard 8 bit peripheral chips.
The majority of the I/O is handled by the internal I/O controller, with some extra
functionality provided by the I/O expansion block. All I/O addresses in the
ARM250 are memory mapped.
The peripheral address bus is simply the latched address lines. These are buffered
to reduce loading and to avoid slowing down EPROM access.

Diagnostic LEDs
The ARM250 has 4 open collector I/O bits. These are connected to 4 easily
visible diagnostic LEDs to indicate diagnostic software status. The configuration
of the circuit ensures that when the CPU is in reset, or when the software does not
run, all the LEDs will be turned on. Therefore, faulty LEDs will be easily detected
and not interpreted as incorrect diagnostic code.

Interrupt System
The interrupt system of the ARM250 functions with two main interrupts, FIQ and
IRQ. Several external inputs are multiplexed internally to generate either a FIQ or
IRQ interrupt.
FIQ is defined as the "fast interrupt" and is used for real time processing. IRQ is
defined as the "slow interrupt" and is used for slower interrupts.
Specific registers are provided to enable the programmer to read the source of the
interrupt without reading all the devices.
FIQ is of higher priority than IRQ and can interrupt an IRQ service routine. IRQ
cannot interrupt FIQ. The priority of different interrupts is determined in software
after reading the status registers.

11-10 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Main Board

I/O Expansion Port Interrupts.


The I/O expansion port has 4 interrupts: IL0, IF, FL, and FH0 (schematic
IO_IN). Pull-up/down resistors pull unused interrupts to their inactive state. EMC
filtering is provided by 1 k resistors and 100 pF capacitors to prevent spurious
interrupts.

ARM250 Timers
The ARM250 has 4 built-in timers. These run off a 2 MHz clock and can time
intervals from 500 ns to 32.768 ms. Four primary clocks exist within the board:
72 MHz, 48 MHz, 25.175 MHz, and 32.768 kHz. All other clocks are derived
from these.
Primary Clock. The ARM250 uses a primary clock of 72 MHz which is
internally divided to provide 36 MHz for the memory controller, 36 MHz or
24 MHz for the video, 12 MHz for the CPU, 8 MHz and 2 MHz for the I/O
controller. The 72 MHz clock has a tight duty cycle specification of 45/55%.
System Clock. The CPU core (ARM2aS) and memory controller (MEMC) of
the ARM250 have an optional clock input to allow higher speed operation. A
48 MHz clock on the SYSCLK input of the ARM250 is divided by 3 giving
16 MHz CPU and memory operation.
Video Clock. The video clock may be either 36 MHz, 24 MHz or an optional
external crystal input. The external crystal is 25.175 MHz for VGA. The
clock selected for the video clock is output on the VIDCLK pin and input on
the CLKVID pin, which are normally connected together.
Time Clock. The real time clock chip uses a 32.768 kHz crystal to keep time.

The 8 MHz IOCLK output from the ARM250 is divided by 2 to 4 MHz for the
DES encryption chip, by 512 to 15625 Hz for the SPI, and by 4096 to
1953.125 Hz for the operating system timer interrupt. The 12 MHz ARM250
keyboard clock output CLKKB, and the 2 MHz CLK2 IOC are not used.

11.4.2 Sound
The ARM250 has a built in stereo audio interface, requiring only filtering and
amplification to drive a speaker. Sound data is accessed directly from DRAM and
output to the audio D/A converters. The board implements a single channel of
sound, because stereo is not required.
The Main Board provides monophonic audio with the following characteristics:
Bandwidth : 200 Hz to 5.5 kHz 10%.
Power output: 4 W RMS.
Frequency response shape: fourth order pole at 5.5 kHz 10%.
The volume is controllable via software with up to 16 steps.

The power amplifier features are:


Overload protected
Short circuit protected
Connected to the +24 V DC power supply.

Revision 01 11-11
Main Board NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

A separate ground for the audio system has to be provided. It is connected to the
digital ground (+5 V ground) and the power ground (+ 24 V ground) at one point
only.

Volume Control
The volume is controlled by software according to the setting made in the
appropriate audit screen. The circuit uses a 4 bit control to give 16 levels. The
lowest level turns the sound off. The 74HC4066 switch is powered from +5 V
DC, and requires that the inputs are below +5 V DC at all times. The output of
the previous filter stage is decoupled with a 0.1 F capacitor and biased around
2.5 V DC.

Audio Power Amplifier


The TDA2006 audio power amplifier has overload/short circuit protection and is
powered from +24 V DC. The speaker output is filtered using a surface mount
ferrite bead and a 100 pF ceramic capacitor.

11.4.3 Video
The ARM250 has a built in video controller which directly drives a monitor. The
video system conforms to the IBM VGA standard (mode 2) and gives a resolution
of 640 x 400 pixels with 8 bits per pixel.
Each video output signal from the ARM250 is a current sink with respect to the
filtered video 5 V DC supply. The RGB signals (Red, Green and Blue) generate a
voltage across a sense resistor and a common super diode, formed by a PNP
transistor. The voltage across the sense circuit is converted to an output current
per colour by a PNP transistor emitter follower. The RGB monitor output
components are protected from transients by a three diode circuit for each colour
signal. A 220 load resistor limits the maximum unterminated voltage at each
transistor collector; this ensures the transistor does not saturate and disturb the
sense resistor signal. In normal use the RGB outputs generate an analogue 0.7 V
peak signal into an external 75 load. The sync signals have TTL levels.

11.4.4 Reset
The Main Board has 2 reset signals, RESETL and RESET. When reset is asserted
it has a nominal period of 200 ms (guaranteed 140-280 ms).
RESETL is the MAX705 reset output, valid for all supply voltages from 0-5 V
DC. It is used in the battery backed circuits to prevent glitches during power
up/down, while RESET is used every where else.
RESET is the normal active low reset, generated by buffering RESETL. It is
not valid between 0-2 V DC, as it is driven from HCMOS logic, which does
not operate under 2.0 V DC.

11-12 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Main Board

Watchdog Timer
The MAX705 incorporates a watchdog timer to reset the Main Board if the CPU
does not strobe the watchdog input periodically within the timeout interval with an
I/O access to RDCS1. The watchdog timeout period is nominally 1.6 seconds,
and is guaranteed to be in the range of 1.0 to 2.25 seconds. The manual reset
input (from the BTEST GAL) is asserted if the watchdog output trips (WDO) or if
the external reset input is asserted.
The MAX705 voltage comparator also checks the battery voltage.
All devices that can be reset are reset to give the board a well defined power up
state.
Direct write registers are reset to 0x00.
The ARM250 has 2 reset pins, RST and POR, and is reset through POR. RST
is a bidirectional pin driven from POR. When POR is asserted the CPU is reset
and RST is also asserted. RST is connected to the optional memory expansion
board, which is reset by the Main Board reset, but can also reset the CPU by
asserting RST.
Peripheral I/O devices are reset
I/O Expansion interface is reset
Battery test GAL outputs are disabled.

11.4.5 Debug (Keyboard) Port


The ARM250 has a built-in serial communications port, the KART (Keyboard
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter). The KART is used only for debugging.
The data format is fixed at 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 2 stop bits and no parity. Unlike
a normal UART, the KART has no data buffering.

11.4.6 Debugging
DEMON
The ARM source level software debugger DEMON requires three modifications
to the Main Board to run.
1. The watchdog must be disabled
2. The DRAM emulator must be disabled, as DEMON modifies the interrupt
vectors in the first page of memory.
3. The interrupt from UART U71 channel 0 must be inverted and connected to
the CPU interrupt IL2. IL2 can generate either a IRQ or FIQ, but for
DEMON generates a FIQ.

The Main Board is fitted with switches to enable and disable the watchdog and
DRAM emulator, as although DEMON requires these features, normal game
software does not.
The memory expansion port contains a number of extra signals intended for
debugging purposes.

Revision 01 11-13
Main Board NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

The CPU TEST signal implements the ARM250 tristate test mode when it is
asserted. The CPU reset signal can act as both a reset from the CPU and a reset to
the CPU.
The 72 MHz CPU clock oscillator supports the tristate enable/disable.
All nodes are accessible on the solder side of the board for ATE testing.
The ARM250 keyboard serial channel with signals KIN and KOUT is used for
a debug interface.

11.4.7 External I/O Expansion


Two expansion interfaces are provided:
I/O expansion through the interface board allows two general purpose 8-bit I/O
boards, and one security subsystem board to be added, using 96-way DIN41612
connectors.
The 32 bit memory expansion interface on the Main Board has a I/O port;
however, this interface is primarily designed to add extra EPROM to the
system.
I/O Boards
Twelve address lines are provided, to access 4 kbytes of I/O space on the I/O
boards. The 8 bit I/O data bus is buffered onto the I/O boards. I/O is accessed
using chip select DACK.
Peripheral PCBs take +5 V DC power from the Main Board. They may also
derive +5 V DC from the +24 V DC supply, independent of the Main Board;
however, care must be taken to avoid damage to both boards if the power supply
on either board fails.

Memory Expansion Board


The memory expansion interface has an I/O port. The I/O select line AEN
provides for 8-bit I/O expansion, which can be used to implement bank selection
page register, or any other interface.

11.4.8 Mikohn Link Progressive Interface (where fitted)


The Main Board provides an optically coupled, open-collector pulse interface to a
Mikohn Link Progressive system.
The output is the standard Mikohn interface:
Switches 20 mA at 24 V.
Optically isolated.
Reverse protection diode.

11-14 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Main Board

11.4.9 Memory
The Main Board has six types of memory:
DRAM provides memory for graphics, sound and other software requirements.
DRAM Emulator.
EPROM contains the game software.
SRAM provides memory for metering.
EEPROM contains high reliability configuration data.
The Real Time Clock also contains a number of bytes of SRAM.

DRAM
The Main Board has 2 Mbyte of dynamic RAM as standard. The ARM250 can
address a maximum of 4 Mbytes of DRAM, using its built in DRAM controller.
The ARM250 directly drives the multiplexed address lines (RA[9:0]), row and
column (RAS, CAS[3:0]) strobes, output (OE[1:0]), and write enable
(WE[1:0]) signals.
The Main Board must have at least 1 Mbyte of dynamic RAM fitted, with the
other 1 Mbyte being optional. Using 4 Mbit DRAMs the maximum possible (in 4
devices) is 2 Mbytes. The first bank of DRAMs is dual pitched to allow the use of
16 Mbit DRAMs allowing 4 Mbytes to be fitted in only 2 chips. As this is the
maximum addressable, the second bank would not be fitted.

DRAM Emulator
The DRAM emulator logic detects an access to the interrupt vector table and
substitutes either ROM or a fixed branch instruction (to EPROM) in place of the
DRAM.

EPROM
The data bus for EPROMs is 32 bit wide. The Main Board contains sockets for 8
EPROMs, which can be configured to 1, 2, or 4 Mbit chips and each is 16 bit
wide. This allows a maximum of 4 Mbytes of EPROMs, which is also the
ARM250 addressing limit.
To expand the memory beyond 4 Mbytes, the on-board EPROMs can be replaced
by an external memory PCB which sits onto the main board

Meters SRAM
The Main Board provides 32 kbytes of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)
with battery back-up for the electronic meters.
The SRAM contains machine metering information, such as money in/out, game
history, etc. It is critical that this data is preserved reliably, and various
jurisdictions require multiple backups of the data.
Three standard low power SRAMs are fitted to the board. The data is usually
replicated three times, so that each chip contains identical data. Each memory is
checked against the other to verify that the stored data is correct.
Each chip is mapped to the same address, and the chip selected depends on the
bank select register. Access is mutually exclusive, increasing security with only
one chip visible in the CPU address space at a time. If the CPU crashes and

Revision 01 11-15
Main Board NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

overwrites memory only one of the three devices can be corrupted. On reset, the
bank select register selects bank 0, which does not exist. The SRAMs are at banks
1,2,3.

EEPROMS
The Main Board has three serial EEPROMs. The minimum requirements are 128
bytes per EEPROM. The type selected is to be compatible with types providing
256 byte and 512 byte depth.

Table 11-1 Serial EEPROMs Characteristics


No. Socketed Write protected Comment
1 No Yes Surface mount package
2 Yes No For game options, DIP package
3 Yes No For network address, DIP package

Memory Expansion Port


The memory expansion port is primarily designed to add extra EPROM to the
Main Board. The memory expansion PCB allows for up to 4 Mbytes of EPROM
to be directly addressed together with signals to accommodate paged memory,
external DRAM emulation and debug facilities. When the signal REPLACE is
asserted from the expansion board it disables the on board EPROM, via address
decode GAL U22.
The external memory PCB interfaces with the Main Board via a 96-way
DIN41612 connector.

11.4.10 Real Time Clock


The Main Board uses a Dallas DS1202 Real Time Clock (RTC). It uses a
standard Dallas 3 wire interface, which is shared with the Dallas temperature
measuring chip. The real-time clock, meter RAM #0, and the battery-backed
security circuit on the I/O Driver Board are powered from the same battery.

11.4.11 Battery Backup Circuit


The Main Board has one lithium battery for the meter SRAM, Real Time Clock
and the security circuit on the I/O Driver Board (refer to the chapter I/O Driver
Board for details).

WARNING
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type

CAUTION
Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not
recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.

11-16 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Main Board

A resistor and diode combination in series prevents reverse charging of the


battery. A lithium battery can potentially explode if reverse charged.
The Main Board includes circuitry under CPU control to test the battery. The test
places a resistor load on the battery and checks the voltage after a short delay
(about 40 ms). The load is enabled from a monostable so that a fault in the
software will not discharge the battery.
The battery end life is at 2.0 V DC, below which the memory and logic are no
longer guaranteed to work. The test will indicate a battery fail at 2.5 V DC.

Replacing the Battery


When the battery is changed, power will be maintained for a limited time by the
decoupling capacitors. A connector is provided to allow for external battery
backup during battery replacement.

11.4.12 Power Control Interface


Signal inputs and outputs
The Main Board has several signal lines to interface with the power control
system as shown in the following table:

Table 11-2 Power Control System Signal Lines


Signal Type Comment
/SSR1 Output Control signal for the solid state relay to switch to low
power mode, open collector active LOW
/PFAIL Input Power Fail signal, open collector active LOW
/EPSU2OVR Input Output power 24 V correct, from power supply assembly
GND Power + 24 Volt ground from the PMS

Power Lines and Grounding Scheme


The Main Board receives +24 V DC from the power control assembly, via the
Interface Board.
The +24 V is supplied to the:
I/O Driver Board
Audio power amplifier.
Coin handling modules.
Bank Note Acceptor
Printer (if fitted)
Mechanical meters
Handle (if fitted)

The Main Board uses a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) to generate
5 V DC and an isolated +/-12 V DC from the 24 V. The 5 V DC is used to supply
the logic circuits, as well as the I/O expansion boards and the optional security
subsystem board. The +/-12 V DC is supplied to the generic serial channels.

Revision 01 11-17
Main Board NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

The 24 V DC input and the 5 V DC output are EMC filtered using ferrite beads
and ceramic capacitors.
The Main Board also receives 12 V DC from the I/O Driver Board. This supply is
passed through a linear regulator on the Main Board to generate the isolated
5 V DC supply required by the hopper.
The power supply has overcurrent protection for current > 6.5 A for +5.1 V. The
power supply is 'folded back' when overloaded. Power is resumed once the
overload is removed.
All outputs are protected from short circuit. The power is resumed after removal
of the short circuit. The power supply also shuts down if the junction temperature
of the regulator reaches 150C.

11.4.13 SPI Bus Driver and Multiplexer Circuitry


The Main Board implements a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus for
communicating with the I/O Driver Board and other external peripheral devices.
The SPI bus is multiplexed into eight separate channels. Only one channel is
accessible at any given time.

Table 11-3 SPI Channel Signals

SPI Channels Functional Description


The board has seven SPI channels selected via three bits in an output register.
Channel 0 is defined as the reset or null state. Data written to channel 0 will be
read back in its bitwise inverted state as a diagnostic test.
The seven channels are allocated as follows:

Channel 7 Main board security registers.

11.4.14 Printer and Mechanical Meters


The Main Board can also drive the following peripheral equipment:
Printer
Mechanical meters

11.4.15 Mechanical Switches


The board senses the status of five mechanical switches (signals MSWITCH0 to
MSWITCH4) in addition to the eight mechanical security switches. MSWITCH0
is the Audit reset switch, MSWITCH1 is the Jackpot reset switch, and
MSWITCH2, MSWITCH3, and MSWITCH4 are spare. The spare switches may
be used for an optional handle. The specifications for the inputs are:
The switch current is 5 mA from the 5 V logic supply.
The circuit is filtered for EMC. Input filtering provides EMC protection.
The signals are connected to the internal SPI channel via a low-pass filter and
sensed with HCMOS logic levels.

11.4.16 Security
The system caters for two types of security inputs, optical and mechanical, with 8
of each.

Optical Security
The Main Board provides the necessary circuitry to interface eight IR LED
emitter/photo-transistor detector pairs. The optical security sensors are monitored
by the Main Board when the machine is powered.
Sensor sharing between the Main Board and the optional security module is
accomplished by the use of diodes.

11.4.17 Coin Handling System


Coin Chute Assembly
The Main Board interfaces with the coin chute assembly via the I/O Driver Board.
The Main Board receives the signals "NOD1A", "NOD1B", "NOD2A", "S7
ALARM", and "AUDIT" from the coin interface section of the I/O Driver Board.
It sends the control signals "NEODLEDON", "NECOINBLK", and
"NECOINDIV" to the I/O Driver Board, which converts these signals into the
form required by the coin chuting.
All inputs have EMC R/C filtering, with a cut-off frequency of 3.4 kHz.

Coin Diverter Solenoid


The coin diverter solenoid output circuit has the following specifications:
Switches 200 mA at 24 V
Open collector NPN (low side drive) output
Short circuit protected (up to +24 V)
Diode protected against back EMF

11.4.18 Hopper Interface


The Main Board can interface with a hopper via the Interface Board. The hopper
is driven using a power driver.
The hopper receives 24 V to power the motor and an isolated 5 V to run the logic.
The isolated 5 V is derived from the 12 V supply using a linear regulator on the
Main Board. This voltage is also supplied, via the Interface Board, to other
peripheral boards requiring isolated 5 V.
The following table details the hopper interface signals.

11.4.19 Serial Channels


The board has four serial channels, referred to as channels 0-3, which may be used
to communicate with peripheral equipment and external network interfaces. The
serial channels are implemented via two PC compatible DUART's. The serial
debug channel is implemented on the ARM250 and is described elsewhere.
Channel 0 has a non-isolated interface to a Fluorescent Interface Panel (FIP) and
an RS232 interface. Channels 1-3 are fully isolated and are configurable via the
Communications Configuration Board (CCB).
The serial ports are implemented using two industry standard UARTs. Each of
the three generic serial channels (channels 1 to 3) has 1 receive data, 1 transmit
data, 3 input and 3 output handshake lines.
The maximum baud rate supported is 9600 baud, except on channel 2 which uses
fast optocouplers.

Revision 01 11-21
Main Board NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

Communications Configuration Board


Serial channels 1 to 3 are configured through the Communications Configuration
Board (CCB) plugged into the 72 pin SIMM socket on the Main Board. The CCB
converts the opto-coupled UART I/O to any of the following signal levels:
RS232
Current loop (Open collector)
Bank Note Acceptor interface
Serial printer
TTL compatible level
DACOM 5000
External network interface
Touchscreen
Other

Refer to the chapter Communications Configuration Board (CCB) for a detailed


description.

11.4.20 Bank Note Acceptor


The Main Board communicates with the Bank Note Acceptor via generic serial
channel 1 which is connected via P18 on the Interface Board.

11.4.21 Interface Board


The Main Board is connected to the Interface Board directly through three 96-way
male right-angle DIN41612 connectors as follows:

Optically Isolated Connector


All the I/O signals in this connector are optically coupled. It contains the UART
serial communication channels, SPI channels, Mikohn interface, hopper interface,
and control signals for the power supply. It also provides connection to the power
supply for +24 V, +5 V, +12 V DC, and 12 V.

Miscellaneous Connector
This connector contains the coin chute interface, video and audio signals, power
control system solid state relay, and the serial debug. It also connects to the +24 V
and +5 V power supply.

Security and I/O Expansion Connector


The connector contains both optical and mechanical security signals, mechanical
switch signals, and I/O expansion signals. It also provides connection to the
+24 V power supply.

11.5 Removal and Replacement Procedures

WARNING
Turn the machine power OFF before
removing PCBAs from the logic cage.

CAUTION
When handling electrostatic sensitive
devices (ESDs) such as PCBAs, take care to
avoid physical contact with components. Do
not place ESDs on metal surfaces. PCBs
should be handled by their edges. Care
must be taken to avoid flexing the PCB, as
this may lead to physical damage.

Removal
To remove the Main Board:
1. Open the main door and switch OFF the machine.
2. Open the logic cage door.
3. Standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) prevention procedures should be
followed when handling PCBAs.
4. Lever the PCBA out of the runners using the board extractors, and withdraw
the board from the logic cage.
5. The PCBA should be placed in an antistatic bag immediately.

Note
A fault tag must be placed on any faulty
boards.

Replacement
Replacement is a reversal of the removal procedure. Both sides of the
replacement PCBA should be inspected for any signs of physical damage.

I/O Driver Board NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual

13.2.1 Power Supply


The I/O Driver Board receives 24 V DC from the power supply assembly and
5 V DC from the Main Board. The 24 V DC is reduced to 22.5 V DC by voltage
dropping diodes and supplied to the pushbutton lamps and switches.
A switched-mode regulator on the I/O Driver Board is used to generate 12 V DC
from the 24 V DC supply. This voltage is supplied to the coin handling system,
the Main Board, and the optional fan.

13.2.2 Pushbuttons and Lamps


The I/O Driver Board drives the pushbutton lamps and receives the inputs from
the player pushbutton switches.
Sixteen pushbutton lamp outputs are available. The lamps are rated at 24 V DC
and 2 W. The lamp outputs are latched into two latches. During the power-up
phase, the latches are reset to ensure all lamps are off. The lamps are driven by
drivers with short-circuit protected outputs. The I/O Driver Board sinks the lamp
current to drive the lamps. Each driver can sink a maximum of 700 mA at
24 V DC. The lamps are supplied with 22.5 V rather than 24 V to increase their
lifetime.
All lamp outputs include warm-up resistors (2.4 k, 0.6 W) to protect the lamp
drivers against high current peaks when the lamps are turned on.
Similarly, sixteen pushbutton switch inputs are provided. The 24 V DC
pushbutton switch signals are converted to TTL levels by voltage dividers and
then input to latches. These inputs are filtered to reduce bouncing of the signal
caused when players strike a pushbutton.
Animation lamps and light tower lamps, if fitted, are driven in the same manner.
The I/O Driver Board also provides outputs for seven bill acceptor LEDs and one
bill acceptor backlight.

EMI Protection
Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVSs) are included on all sixteen pushbutton
lamp outputs to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The board also has a 100 nF capacitor used with the NERESET signal. This
component also protects against EMI.

13-6 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual I/O Driver Board

13.2.3 Coin Handling Interface


A switch mode regulator on the I/O Driver Board generates 12 V DC 5% from
the +24 V supply to power the coin handling system.
The coin handling system interfaces with the I/O Driver Board via the 24-pin
connector P12 on the Interface Board. This connector also distributes the signals
to the speakers and the door optical security sensor.
The coin handling interface section of the I/O Driver Board generates the signals
NOD1A, NOD1B, "NOD2A", "S7 ALARM", and "AUDIT" and transfers
these to the Main Board. It receives the signals NEODLEDON,
NECOINBLK and NECOINDIV from the Main Board and converts these into
the form required by the coin handling system.
The coin handling system used in the Mk4/5XR machines is the Condor CN133A
Validator, with separate diverter and diverter position detector.
The signals to and from the coin handling assembly are shown in Figure 13-4 and
explained in Table 13-1. Timing diagrams for the output signals to the Main
Board are shown in Figure 13-5.

Bank Note Acceptor Interface


The bank note acceptor interface provides TTL/CMOS communication (serial
input only from bank note acceptor) with handshaking.
The data transfer rate is 600 baud, 8 bit data, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and no parity.
This port uses the 16-way Minifit connector P18 on the Interface Board.
The serial protocol is 'one way' in that the bank note acceptor sends to the host an
ASCII code, depending on the type of note inserted or the status of the bank note
acceptor. The host enables, disables or accepts the note via two control lines -
ACCEPT ENABLE and SEND.

RS232 Interface
This interface provides RS232 communications between the Main Board and an
external interface board. The channel has six I/O signals, including data I/O. The
opto LED drivers on the Main Board are configured to an OFF state when the line
is inactive or not connected to minimise power consumption. This port can be run
at a minimum 9600 baud rate.

Figure 15-3 LAB Communications Board - Block Diagram

The LAB Communications Board provides six ports P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and P6.
Port P1 is bi-directional and receives communications from the equipment
connected to the corresponding port of the SESI (Subsidiary Equipment Serial
Interface). The port P1 is reserved for Centralised Cash Control Equipment
(CCCE). Ports P2 to P6 are uni directional and do not receive communications
from subsidiary equipment.
Each port operates in conformance to the RS 422 standard with the speed of the
transmissions being 9600 bps. Each character or digit is represented by 11 bits (1
start bit + 8 data bits (packed BCD) + 1 parity bit (even) + 1 stop bit). The data
byte is transmitted with LSB first, parity transmitted after the MSB.
In addition to the usual RX and TX data signals, each port provides a "power
good" status signal to and receives a "Subsidiary Equipment Function" (SEF)
status signal from the SESI.

15-6 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual LAB Communications Board

The "power good" status signal is an indication of the integrity of the power
supply level on the EGM main logic board and hence the LAB communications
board. The signal operates such that the differential voltage at the output of the
line driver is negative (Vd = -V) whenever the main logic board and any other
"sensitive" subsidiary boards (eg LAB Comms board) have "normal" power
applied.
Under all other conditions the line driver differential voltage is positive
(Vd = +V). The manufacturer of the SESI must ensure that the other power fail
conditions which may cause the output of the line driver to assume zero voltage or
high impedance are detected correctly.
The SEF status signal is an indication to the gaming machine that subsidiary
equipment connected is functioning correctly or that a request has been made for
play suspension. Under "normal" conditions the SEF differential signal voltage at
the line driver output is negative (Vd = -V). A positive signal (Vd = +V) is to be
interpreted by the gaming machine as a request to suspend play. "Fail" conditions
which may cause the output of the line driver to assume zero voltage or high
impedance must also be interpreted as a request to suspend play.
All unused ports will be "capped". In the "cap" for the connector, pins 6 and 7
(power good) are linked to pins 8 and 9 (SEF) respectively so that the gaming
machine can be provided with the SEF input signal.

15.1.3 LAB PSU Chassis Description


The LAB Comms PSU Fusing and Serial I/F Card Mounting Chassis (PSU chassis
is located behind the video monitor and provides power connections to the six
subsidiary equipment interfaces (third party vendor equipment). Each connection is
capable of supplying 12Vrms (nominal) AC at 0.5A.
Each output connection from the PSU chassis is protected by a 0.5A fuse.
Note that the PSU transformer (or winding) is part of the EGM main power supply
transformer via a separate winding.
The machine power supply provides the LAB Comms PSU with isolated 12 Vrms
AC at 3 A, via a flying lead from the 2-way connector JP29 on the Interface
Board. This power is supplied from a separate winding in the machine power
supply.

NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Progressive Jackpot System

16.1 Overview
The Mk4/5XR gaming machines can be configured to provide for Mystery
Cashcade Jackpots.
In a Mystery Cashcade Jackpot system, a number of machines are linked together
through a Controller, which is external to the gaming machine. As each game is
played, pulses are sent to the Controller from each of the gaming machines,
initiating the accumulation of a Cashcade Jackpot amount, which is shown on a
central display unit connected to the Controller. The jackpot is won when the
Cashcade Jackpot amount reaches some randomly selected value between
predetermined limits. The jackpot value is transmitted from the Controller to the
winning machine.
Machines may be configured to offer several different combinations of link, or
cashcade jackpots. Typical configurations provide two, three, or four jackpot
amounts (termed Double, Triple, or Quad Jackpots).

16.2. Progressive SEI Board (410227)


Overview
The Subsidiary Equipment Interface (SEI) Board (Part No.410227) enables LAB
RS-422 Communications to be converted to DACOM 5000 signals for a Mikohn
CON2 pulse system. The SEI Board can also receive information back from the
controller such that when a Mystery Cashcade Jackpot is won, the Subsidiary
Equipment Function line is activated until the jackpot is reset, causing the
machine to lock up. The SEI Board allows for both Mystery Cashcade and Link
Progressive Jackpot games to be connected to the gaming machine.
The SEI Board can also be used to connect the gaming machine to a BIPs Cashless
Transfer system. To support the BIPS interface, the serial ports have to provide 2-
way communication ports (Mikohn CON2 controllers only require one-way
communication ports). Figure 13-1 shows the SEI Board connections.
The SEI Board is mounted on a plate and the assembly is then mounted into the
subsidiary equipment board mounting plate.
The table below shows the possible board configurations:

Functional Description
The SEI Board is controlled by a Zilog Z8S180 microprocessor. This
microprocessor has two embedded UART channels that support two serial ports
on the SEI Board. An external DUART is used to provide two additional serial
ports.
Therefore, four channels are provided for the DACOM 5000 or RS-422/485
communication interface. Jumper link J11 is used to select between DACOM
5000 and RS-422/485.
The baud rates of these ports are as follows:
DACOM 5000 type interface: up to 9600 baud max.
RS-422/485 type interface: up to 19200 baud max.

The Z8S180 is an 8-bit microprocessor. It supports operating frequencies up to


16 MHz and provides two Asynchronous Serial Communication Interface (ASCI)
channels. The Z8S180 can address up to 1 Mbyte of memory. There are 32 Kbyte
RAM and 64 Kbyte ROM available on the SEI Board.
In case of power failure or brown outs, the power supply to the SEI Board is
guaranteed for another 20 ms. This gives time for the status/data of the system to
be stored in a non volatile RAM.

16-4 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Progressive Jackpot System

Option 1 - Jackpot Pulse System


The Subsidiary Equipment Interface (SEI) has two connections, one to Port P5
and one to Port P6 on the LAB Communications Board.
It also has two pulse outputs and two serial inputs to the two different progressive
systems Mystery Cashcade and Link Progressive. An LED is used to indicate that
pulses are being sent.
The SEI translates the LAB Communication Protocol to the M09, Link
Progressive protocol or the M00, Cashcade Jackpot Protocol, or both, depending
on how the interface is configured.
The SEI is configurable to allow for the jackpot type to be set, i.e. one Link
Progressive and one Cashcade, or two Cashcade interfaces.
The SEI has the ability to identify the machine so that they correspond to each of
the Mikohn CON2 machine ID numbers. This is done by using DIP switches that
allow for up to 40 ID numbers for each CON2 controller. When a Cashcade
jackpot is won by a machine, the SEI in that machine activates the Subsidiary
Equipment Function Line, causing the machine to lock until the jackpot is reset.
The DIP Switch settings for the two CON2 controllers are shown below.

Mystery Cashcade
Where the machine is configured for Mystery Cashcade jackpots without Linked
Progressive jackpots, the SEI has only one connection (to P5) on the LAB
Communications Board. In addition, the CDS display is not required. A block
diagram of a Cashcade system is shown in Figure 16-2.

Mystery Cashcade Jackpot Light


A connection is provided for an external LED to advise the player the machine is
still contributing to the Cashcade Jackpot.

Option 2 - Jackpot Serial System


An RS-485 I/F is also implemented on the SEI Board. This allows for serial
communication between a controller and the machine. The RS-485 Port is
connected parallel to the J10 port (DACOM 5000) and replaces the same.

Option 3 - BIPs Cashless Transfer System


The SEI has a standard I/F that allows for connection to a BIPs system. In this
case, the bi-directional port J1 of the SEI connects to the port 1 (P1) on the LAB
Board and the bi-directional port J10 (DACOM 5000) on the SEI connects to the
BIP system.

Power Supply
The SEI board is supplied with 12 V DC. An on-board rectifier and switch mode
power supply regulator provide the logic with 5 V DC.
The power supply is monitored and if the 12 V DC supply is missing more than a
half wave (more than 20 ms delay), the POWER FAIL OUTPUT (PFO) signal is
activated. From the time PFO becomes active, the system has about 100 ms to
save the status of the current activities on the board and stops processing until
PFO and RESET inputs become inactive again.

Pulsed Interface to Mikohn CON2 controller


The controller has an optically isolated connection to the interface. The basic link
protocol (M09) is a 100 ms header followed by 50 ms pulses for each credit
played. A 200 ms header is used to specify a Jackpot hit - used only by Link
Progressive games, and followed by 50 ms pulses for the Jackpot type won, i.e.
Jackpot 0 has one 50 ms pulse, and Jackpot 3 has four 50 ms pulses.
To reset a combination hit a coin pulse must be sent, i.e a 100 ms header followed
by a 50 ms pulse.
The basic Mystery Cashcade protocol (M00) is 50 ms pulses for each credit
played. No headers are required for this protocol.

16-6 Revision 01
NSW MK4/5XR Video Service Manual Progressive Jackpot System

Two pulsed outputs are provided via J5 and J6 on the SEI Board.

Mystery Jackpot Light


A connection for an external LED is available to advise the player the machine is
still contributing to the Cashcade Jackpot. The jackpot light connects to J8 on the
SEI Board.

CON2 to Interface
The machine receives information from the controller via an optically isolated
DACOM 5000 input.
This machine sends out the current Jackpot value, which is continuously updated,
as well as the Jackpot win, and the machine ID.
Two interfaces are provided via J4 and J10 on the SEI Board.

Mikohn Serial Interface


The SEI Board has one RS-422 port (J7) to support the Mikohn Serial Protocol
CON2 RS-422/485 interface. The RS-422/485 is used instead of DACOM
5000 to talk to a CON2 controller. The optical isolation for this interface is on
the Comms Inlet board. The SEI Board provides the RS-422/485 signals to the
Comms Inlet board.
The table below shows the pinout of the RS-422/485 connector.

Spinning Reel Games


The Jubilee Mk4/5XR gaming machine is available with MkV Spinning Reel
games.
The screen displays a simulation of the reels spinning, which, after a short time
'come to rest'. The resultant positions of the various symbols (refer to Fig A-1) is
assessed for a winning combination.
If the resultant combination is a winner (the winning combination(s) can be
checked, if the machine has a top box, with the pay table provided on the top box
artwork, if the machine has no top box, with the pay table provided on the belly
panel artwork. Figure A-2 shows an example of a pay table), the machine
responds by flashing the corresponding symbols and by emitting 'win' sounds. The
game software displays the amount of credits won on the screen, prompts the
player to gamble the win (if available), then adds them to the player's credit total.
This action may vary slightly depending on the software, customer and legal
requirements.
The gamble features can vary considerably between games, however, the concept
is the same. The player is given the opportunity to gamble the credits won for a
chance to double the total. This 'doubling up' may continue for up to five times (or
possibly more) consecutively.
If the combination is not a winner, the machine will end the game if no credits are
remaining or prompt the player to continue.
