Blown fuses, code 61-1, comparitor problems IGT Triple Play S-plus game

[yomusic]

Hello gamers,


I'm new to this forum. My name is Johan, 56 years old and I'm from The Netherlands (Europe)
I bought a IGT Triple Play S-plus slotmachine that isn't working. The former owner used 220 volts on this machine.
All the fuses are blown because it's a 120 volt machine.
I have a few questions about the jackpot.


I've examine the power supply and it has two connections. Have these connections different input of voltage ?
After measuring the output both connections give 220 volts.

Below some pictures of the slotmachine:

Does your machine have a large power transformer in the lower cabinet area? If so, that is often where the wiring changes are made so the machine can operate from 120 volts or from 220 volts. As far as I know IGT made their slot machines so they can be operated from 120 volts or from 220 volts, just need to make a few changes to some wiring.

Where on the power supply are you measuring 220 volts? If you are getting 220 volts at the white electrical outlet on the side of the power supply then that makes me think the machine is already wired for 220 volt operation, are you sure it is setup for 120 volts? Maybe something else is causing the fuses to blow or they are the wrong size?

inside the power supply module you have pictured has all the terminal blocks where the conversion takes place.  by moving the one wire (I believe it is purple or violet will change the operation from one condition to another, that is 120 to 220 .  see the diagram,  the plug on the side goes to the mother board, it provides the a/c voltages to run the game. all the plugs in the back provide 120 vac to run the fluorescent lamps and ballasts and the one connector is the power on/off switch loop.

I have the big supply below in the cabinet area, the one that's pictured. I measure 220 volts on both connections. The ballasts and hopper read 120 volts. Maybe I have to disconnect the ballasts. The fluorescent burn for less than a second, then the fuse on the bottom from the supply blows away.
The fuses are the right size.


At this moment I really don't know what to do.

[Jim]

what voltage are you using for the machine?  if your home is 120vac then it has to be set up for 120vac,  if your home is 220 volt then the machine has to be set up for 220 vac.  tell us what voltage your home uses and we can tell you how to set the terminal blocks which are located inside that power supply, take out the one screw and remove the cover and see how it is wired!  compare it to the drawing .

I use 220 volts. I made a picture of the wiring in the supply.

It's working       I'm one step further. I put wire 3 to 4. It's attach wire 5 now.


The machine comes up with code 61. I've seen enough post about that code, so this is my next challenge to figure out.


Thanks for the help.

find out where your test button is located and press it for a few seconds and see what happens,  usually  located near the on/off switch.

Hey Jim,


First I get code 61. After pressing the reset button a small sound came out the speaker and the code changed in 61-1. I repeated this a few time but it still came up with code 61-1. And the candle lights are blinking.

[Jim]

close the door completely, latch down,  now turn the jackpot reset key (located outside on the side where the handle is) one time, program should load, get maiden spin. 

on the home page, there is a section on the left side of the page, RICK's FAQ ,  alot of good info for exactly what you are doing

Thanks for your time Jim. I'm on a hold right now. I don't have the reset key. I must order or find them on eBay or something like that.
Do I need the clear chip too, or is the reset key okay ?

[Jim]

depending on you future needs, you should have a clear chip and a set chip,  if you ever clear the machine (61 loop)  you will need the set chip to turn on the bill validator.   for your immediate need you could remove the key switch   and extend the wires outside and hook the wires up to a push button switch,  the switch is normally open, and the machine looks for it to close one time to perform the function, then it remains open.  this will tell you if the game will load.  that key operated switch was for casino security  purposes.

Most machines use what is commonly called a "2341" reset key, they are available at various prices, here are some examples:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Attendant-reset-keys-2341-/121746934761?hash=item1c58aecbe9:g:H0UAAOSwHnFVu6z-

You can also replace the entire reset keyswitch with a new one if you need to for some reason, it is pretty easy. Just one nut inside that holds it in place and 2 wires that slip on.

[yomusic]

Thanks again for the reply. I removed the attendant lock, powered up the machine and hook the wires up from the outside. Code 61 disappeared. The machine comes up now with all kind of codes. I saw the reels turning. The "coins played" digit blinks now between o and 1. The left digits "winner paid" and "credits" are on zero. The candle light is also blinking.
The reels make a lot of noise.

Just to make sure.....

When you say you "hooked the wires up outside" you don't mean they are connected to each other all the time? The wires should normally be disconnected from each other, they should only connect momentarily when the reset switch (attendant switch) is turned. When it is released it springs back to the normal position to disconnect the wires. If you have temporarily connected the wires to an on-off switch make sure the switch is set to off except when you want to do a reset.

On powerup the reels should spin for a few seconds, then they stop. Are the reels spinning all the time? When they spin is it a smooth spin or jerky? Is the reel noise all the time or only when the reels are turning? Need clear explanation of what you are seeing.

I have uploaded a small video on Youtube when starting up the slotmachine.
Hope this will clear a bit of the following problems I have with it.

You're skipping a step.  Do the following in order:

- Turn the machine on.  Observe 61 is displayed.

- Press and hold the white Self Test button next to the power switch until the machine "dings" and the 61 becomes 61-1.

- Close and fully latch the door.

- Now simulate turning the jackpot reset key by briefly touching the wires from the keyswitch together once, then separate them.

I've done that before but it won't work then. After the "dings" the reset key will not reset the machine. It doesn't do anything.

[rokgpsman]

Perhaps the 2 wires that go to the reset switch are disconnected at the other end, or broken inside the wire's insulation? Inspect those 2 wires carefully, follow them back to the other ends of each wire. What color are the reset wires in your machine?

[yomusic]

The wires are light blue  and yellow/green. But why does the reset work on code 61 and not on 61-1 (see my video)[size=78%] ? And in the area of the reset key is hanging a lose wire (blue/green)[/size]
