IGT S Plus Credit and Hopper limit

[newkid3]

  I have a IGT S  Plus Double Diamond slant top machine I gave to my sister and brother in law after getting it working good from help from the good people on this site.
After they started using it they noticed it would only let them put say 3 twenty dollar bills in it and will not take anymore bills. From reading on the facts page I think it is set at 300 credits as a limit. Also if say it is at 280 credits and you hit a 50 credit win it will pay from the hopper. I really dont understand. Are there two different settings like one for hopper limit and one for credit limit?
 If that is the case can I go in and change those two settings to a really high number so it will accept a lot more bills and not pay out quarters at such a low number? Do I have to have a set chip to change those settings?
They would like to be able to put a lot more bills in at once and have more credits on the machine.
 I see in the diagnostic cards that it looks like it is in settings 7. Once I get to seven do I just push the buttons to increase the numbers. Also are both settings done at the same time on 7?
 The game has SP731 Game Prom and SS4244 Reel Prom.

        Thanks

Yes SP731 credit and hopper limit are the same.  Raise option #7 to 400, 600, 1000 or higher using the buttons and JP key.  Just remember if you cash out with a lot of credits you will have to keep refilling the hopper until it pays all credits out.

 sixcardmark, Thanks for the reply. So I can do this without a set chip correct?  Also does there need to be zero credits on the machine when I go to change this setting?
  Also is there any way to set the S Plus up where it would require a cash payout for anything cashed out over a certain amount or is all based on the limits?

   Thanks

No SET chip needed newkidd3,
Normally, as well, there shouldn't be any credits on the machine if you want to change any settings.

  Stayouttadabunker, Thanks for the reply.  I edited my post while you were answering so I will post it again.

oh boy 

hahahahahhahahahahahaha

I have no bloody idea what you what the machine to do...?

  What would be nice is if I could set it up where they could put say bills in it to get say 600 credits. But if they won more it would go to credits and not pay out in coins. Say then it ends up with 1100 credits on it after playing it for awhile. Then if someone accidentally hit cash out it would go to hand pay so that you would not have to keep feeding the hopper quarters for it to pay them all out.  This might not be possible on an S Plus machine but I was just curious if it was or not.

   Thanks

I use SP1270. It allows for separate hopper and credit limits.  I set hopper limit to 400 and credit limit to max 9999.  Then if you cash out with anything over 400 credits it goes to handpay.

  I have been up and down all night. Storms and crazy winds in our area tonight.
 So if I get a SP1270 game prom I can just switch it out with the SP731 using the reel chip I have?
I really dont understand how the game prom and reel prom work together. Like will only certain game proms work with certain reel proms ect.
 If the SP1270 game prom would work for how I would like to set this machine up for them can this chip be purchased?
 I guess I would just change the game chip then put board back in machine clear errors then 61 to 61-1 then close door and turn JP key. After this can I go in and set those limits just like I have been told I can with the SP731 chip or would I need a set chip.

   Thanks

See member RB for chips.
Yes, pull off the SP731 and throw in the SP1270...set up the way scm suggested.
Grab a SP1270 PSR (Program Summary Report) from the NLG File System.
Everything we're talking about will be on it.
