PROBLEM ANALYSIS MESSAGES
The WPC game program has a great capability to aid the operator and service personnel:
At Game Turn-on (and after pressing the Begin Test switch) once the game has been operating for
an extended period, the player score displays may signal with a message, "Press ENTER for Test
Report", that the game program has detected a possible problemwith the game.
To obtain details of the problem, open the coin door and press the Begin 'lest switch. Press
the Enter button to begin displaying the message(s). The followingmessages apply to your
THE MACHINE game.
Check Switch
I..
This message indicates that at least one switch was stuck 'On' at game
turn-on or has NOT been actuated during ball play (for 90 balls or =30 games) by displaying the
message "Adjust Switch
II",
listing each 'problem switch by number. (The game program
compensates the game play requirements affected by each disabled switch to allow 'nearly
normal' play. This helps keep THE MACHINE earning, until the service technician can repair
the problem, bringing the game back to its normal good profitsl)
To verify the problem, refer to the Test Menu text describing Switch Testing, and check each
reported switch using applicable switch tests. Always cheek switch
-operabion
using a ball, to
simulate game conditions. (Switch problems may often be resolved by adjusting the wire switch
actuators, fixing switch circuitry problems, securing loose connectors, etc. Mechanisms using
'opto switches' (drop targets, etc.) need to be checked for proper power connections
(+12V de
and
ground),
Pinball Missing.
THE MACHINE normally uses three balls; however, it will operate
with one or two balls. This message announces that a ball is missing or stuck somewhere. When
the ball is located, return it to the game via the Outhole. Other possibilities for this problem couldbe
malfunctions of the Ball Trough switches or the Ball Shooter switch.
