Powering up IGT s2000 slot machine without cash box installed?

[ItsaSlotMachine]

I removed the cash box because it got broken during shipping. I'm wondering is it safe to turn the machine on without the cash box installed? The bill validator is still installed, thanks


I have an Double Diamond slot machine

Yes you can turn it on with out the cash box installed. It will probably give you a BV error. Chances are you would not be able to play the machine with the error showing.

On some machines the method used to detect that the cash box is not installed can be bypassed so that an error will not occur. For example, if there is a security switch near the cash box that gets activated when the cash box is removed then you can disconnect the wires from the security switch and connect them together, making the machine think the cash box is still in place. The method of detecting the cash box varies from machine to machine, someone familiar with your particular machine model could say if bypassing the cash box detection is possible.

I'm pretty sure in the casino when they come around and empty the cash box on the slot machines they don't turn them off. They just open the door, remove the box, insert another empty box and close the door - all with power on the machine. So it won't hurt the machine if you try powering it up without a cash box installed.
