From the archive site (
link), here's what I posted for the button wiring for my PE+ bartop drop-in machine:
Originally posted December 4, 2010:I took pictures, but I'm not too sure how helpful they'll be. Let's start with this before I deal with offloading and uploading:
First, there isn't one common ground wire for these buttons, per se. That is, there isn't one wire that directly connects to all five of them.
Here's the wiring on my machine. If the first one matches yours, then the rest should as well. These go in order on the blades of the cherry switch. The blades are labeled on each cherry switch (look closely at the plastic housing on the switch itself).
You'll notice in my notes here that the wire from the previous NC blade goes to the C blade of the next switch, every time -- that makes the series.
Hold 1:
C = Yellow/Purple Stripe
NO = White-ish or yellow (the color is fading on mine -- tough to tell)
NC = Gray
Hold 2:
C= Gray
NO = White/Purple Stripe
NC = Gray/Purple Stripe
Hold 3:
C = Gray/Purple Stripe
NO = Yellow/Red Stripe
NC = Gray/Dark Blue Stripe
Hold 4:
C = Gray/Dark Blue Stripe
NO = White/Brown Stripe (or this may just be a whiteish-brown wire - my notes are scrawled)
NC = Gray/Yellow Stripe
Hold 5:
C = Gray/Yellow Stripe
NO = White/Black Stripe
NC = [open] (nothing connected to this -- it's the end of the series)
Success?
If not, and hold 1 is the only button working, triple-check the wiring to (and from) the switch. Because they're wired in series, if something is mis-wired, that'll be the last one (or the one before it) to work in the series.
Edited to add: Here's the rest of the button wiring for the PE+ bartop, in case someone needs it in the future.Deal/Draw:
C = Yellow/Green Stripe
NO = Yellow/Black Stripe
NC = Gray/Orange Stripe
Bet 5 (Max):
C = Gray/Orange Stripe
NO = Yellow/Brown Stripe
NC = Gray/Red Stripe
Bet 1 (Play Credit):
C = Gray/Red Stripe
NO = Yellow/Red Stripe
NC = Gray/Brown Stripe
Cash Out:
C = Gray/Brown Stripe
NO = Yellow/Orange Stripe
NC = Gray/Black Stripe
Change Request (the red "Change" or "Service" button a player would use to call an attendant):
C = Gray/Black Stripe
NO = Yellow/Blue Stripe
NC = [open] (nothing connected to this -- it's the end of the series)
(For what it's worth, I had the wires for the change button reversed on my machine (Yellow/Blue going to C, and Gray/Black going to NO), and it works fine, but likely because it's at the end of the series. I see now that they're reversed, and have what I believe to be the "correct" wiring listed above.)
