MEGATOUCH ION FUSION OWNER’S MANUAL PM0463-25 Rev A

Site Preparation

In determining the location for your Mega-

touch Ion video game, consideration must

be given to a suitable, grounded electrical

outlet. Since the game is a computerized

device, it should have a separate circuit, if

at all possible. If a separate circuit is not

available, care should be taken to provide a

clean and constant voltage. As a basic

guideline, never connect the unit to a circuit

that also supplies power to freezers, cool-

ers or other high power consuming and elec-

trical noise generating equipment. Place the

game in a location where nothing will inter-

fere with proper ventilation. The game should

not be exposed to any dripping or splashing

liquids. Objects filled with liquid should not

be placed on the unit.

The upright model should be located on a

sturdy, level surface. The bottom of the

cabinet has two leg levellers on the back to

make any necessary adjustments. When

the game is properly adjusted, it should re-

main stable. The game is designed to be

secured to a wall. Locate the supplied hard-

ware inside the coin box and follow the in-

structions below to secure the game to the

wall.

Locate a wall stud to mount the game.

Measure 46" from the floor on the

mounting stud and drill a hole to install

the hardware. Installation into a

wooden stud requires a 2" deep x 1/4"

hole. For masonry walls drill a 1 1/4"

deep x 1/2" hole. For steel stud or hol-

low walls drill an 11/16" hole.

For wooden stud installation, screw the

lag eyebolt into the hole (see Figure A).

For masonry wall, insert the lag shield

into the hole and then insert and tighten

the machine eyebolt (see Figure B). For

steel stud or hollow walls, insert the

toggle bolt into the hole and then insert

the machine eyebolt, nut and washer

and tighten (see Figure C).

Route the lanyard through the eye bolt

and attach it to the snap spring as

shown in Figure D. Then, attach the

snap spring to the handle on the back

of the game.

Setting up your Megatouch Game

After removing the game from the car-

ton, attach the power cord to the back

of the game near the ON/OFF switch.

Plug the game into a standard AC out-

let.

Turn the power switch at the back of

the game to ON and wait for it to go

through its boot-up sequence. At the

completion of the boot-up sequence,

the game will display the Player Menu.

The machine has been preset at the

factory and therefore should not need

to be adjusted, however it is recom-

mended that the screen be calibrated

(see Touchscreen Calibration) and

the coin or bill acceptor(s) be tested.

There are many custom settings avail-

able for the game. To customize the

settings, follow the instructions begin-

ning with the Main Menu section in this

manual.

PM0463-25 Rev A MEGATOUCH ION FUSION OWNER’S MANUAL

Game Description

The Megatouch Fusion comes housed in an

upright cabinet. This model has 3 key-locked

compartments: the main bezel door, the rear

door and the coin/bill door. It is equipped

with a coin mech and/or bill stacker. Op-

tional bill acceptors are also available. This

model also has couplers installed in the rear

of the game. These are used for future

hardware upgrades which include linking

and modem capabilities. Each game comes

equipped with a wireless USB adapter

which can be used to wirelessly link two

Ion games together. With the addition of a

wireless router, up to four games can be

linked and the game(s) can also connect to

the Internet. The Linksys 802.11G router is

recommended. For more information, see

Connection Wizard.

The rear compartment of the Fusion allows

access to storage space for add-on acces-

sories.

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible by opening

the front bezel. The bezel houses the LCD

monitor and the CPU section houses an elec-

tronics box which contains the motherboard,

I/O board, control board, power supply, hard

drive, and the main harness. There is exter-

nal access to the centronics connector and

the counter on the outside of the electronics

box. The SETUP and CALIBRATE buttons

as well as the security key are located on

the control board attached to the front of the

electronics box. Pressing the SETUP button

will bring you to the Main Menu Screen.

Coin Mech/Bill Acceptor Cash Box

The coin mech and/or bill acceptor are ac-

cessible by opening the front bezel of the

cabinet (see Figure 32 for locations). The

metal cash box door is key-locked for secu-

rity purposes.

If your game has a Smiley bill acceptor, there

is a lanyard secured to the inside of the

cash door. This can be attached to the clip

on the left wall of the cabinet when you

want to secure the door in the open posi-

tion. See Figure 32 to locate the clip.

General Care and Maintenance

NOTE: THIS GAME MUST ONLY BE SER-
VICED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON-
NEL.

CAUTION: THERE ARE HIGH VOLTAGE
PARTS IN THIS GAME. BE CAREFUL
WHEN SERVICING THE INSIDE OF THE
GAME. GAME SHOULD ALWAYS BE
UNPLUGGED BEFORE SERVICING.

Touchscreen/Joystick Calibration

How To Calibrate:

•

Find the CALIBRATE button on the con-

trol board inside the CPU section, and

press it to enter screen calibration

mode.

•

Touch the center of the first cross that

appears. Once you release your fin-

ger, a second cross will appear.

NOTE: You must hold your finger on
the cross for approximately 2 seconds

for the calibration to be recognized.

•

Touch the center of the second cross

that appears on the screen.

•

Once the second cross is touched and

released, another cross will appear on

the screen. To test the calibration of

the screen, touch the cross with your

finger and slowly drag your finger

around the screen. The cross should

follow your movement.

•

Touch the EXIT button.

The game will prompt you to go through the

same steps two more times.

MEGATOUCH ION FUSION OWNER’S MANUAL PM0463-25 Rev A

•

The game will then prompt you to cali-

brate the joystick. First, select the joy-

stick model on your game by touching

it. Then move the joystick as far left as

it will go, release the joystick, and press

one of the buttons on the joystick.

NOTE: The joystick may not appear to
be functioning correctly during cali-
bration, but it is important that you
continue the calibration steps. After
calibration has been completed, it will
function properly.

•

Move the joystick as far right as it will

go, release the joystick, and then press

one of the joystick buttons.

•

Move the joystick as far up as it will go,

release the joystick, and then press one

of the joystick buttons.

•

Move the joystick as far down as it will

go, then release the joystick and press

one of the joystick buttons.

•

Then, without touching the joystick,

press one of the buttons on the joy-

stick to complete calibration.

•

Touch the EXIT button.

Monitor Adjustment Procedure

For adjusting the settings on our monitors,

we suggest following the procedures de-

scribed below. The vertical/horizontal con-

trols and brightness/contrast controls are

located on the monitor control board, attached

to the front of the electronics box.

Unlock and open the bezel so the control

board is accessible while viewing the moni-

tor.

Pressing the button labeled Menu on

the control board will show the on-screen

display on the monitor. Adjust the monitor

controls until the screens look as suggested

in the following steps. When finished, close

and lock the bezel.

Set the game to the Checkerz game

screen.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal size

and vertical and horizontal position to

make sure that the game screen fills

the monitor screen and that the game

screen is centered.

Adjust the brightness and contrast con-

trols until the top sets of checkers are

a rich red and the bottom set are a dark

gray. The feet on the “Checkerz”

character should be white. (Adjusting

the brightness and contrast can also

correct for a lack of sharpness.)

NOTE: If you are experiencing an issue

where your screen seems to be slightly

shifted, repeat the screen calibration

process, pressing “Auto” on the OSD

board when each new calibration

screen appears BEFORE you calibrate

the screen for that resolution.

General Circuit Board Handling

Information

Before handling any boards, observe the

following procedures:

•

Prevent Electro-Static Discharge by:

1. Storing the boards in the anti-static

bags in which they are shipped.

2. Removing any static charge from

your body before handling the

boards.

3. Using a ground strap when han-

dling the boards.

•

When plugging in connectors to the

board, make sure the connector is

inserted straight onto the header and

that the connector covers all header

pins.

PM0463-25 Rev A MEGATOUCH ION FUSION OWNER’S MANUAL

•

Do not connect any peripheral device

to the board, if the power is still

connected to the peripheral or if power

is already applied to the board.

CAUTION: Be extremely careful when re-

placing the lithium battery on the mother-

board. There is a danger of explosion if the

battery on the motherboard is incorrectly

replaced. Only replace the battery with the

same type recommended by the manufac-

turer. Dispose of used batteries according

to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Replacing the Marquee

To replace the marquee, first remove the 6

thumbnuts fastening the plastic bezel to the

game and remove the plastic bezel. Then,

remove the 6 nuts and washers securing

the plexiglass sign holder to the bezel, re-

move the plexiglass and replace the sign.

Cleaning the Cabinet

•

The cabinet should be cleaned with a

damp cloth and mild detergent. Always

apply the cleaner to the cloth and not

directly on the game. Liquids could

enter the cabinet and damage electron-

ics inside.

Cleaning the Joystick

•

The joystick should be cleaned with a

damp cloth and mild detergent. Always

apply the cleaner to the cloth and not

directly on the game. Liquids could

enter the housing and damage elec-

tronics inside.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

•

The touchscreen glass should be

cleaned with a damp cloth and isopro-

pyl alcohol or a non-ammonia cleanser.

Do not use any abrasive or vinegar-

based cleansers, as they will damage

the touchscreen glass.

NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE
SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED
CLEANSERS ON THE MONITOR OR
SIDE DECALS. OVER TIME, SUCH
CLEANSERS COULD HARM THE
TOUCHSCREEN AND ERASE THE DE-
CALS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE COM-
MERCIAL CLEANERS CONTAINING

ANY OF THESE SUBSTANCES.

Cleaning the Fans and Vents

•

The fans and vents should be cleaned

of any dust on a regular basis to en-

sure proper ventilation of the game.

•

To ensure proper operation of the

game, it is important that all fans are

operating correctly and that the airflow

is unobstructed. Make sure nothing is

placed inside the cabinet or next to the

fan vents that would inhibit the flow of

air. Also, if any fans are not operating,

it is important that they be replaced.

Watchdog Timer

This game has been equipped with a fea-

ture that allows it to automatically reboot if it

encounters a problem. When the watchdog

timer is enabled, it will reboot the machine

within 5 minutes after a failure, allowing the

game to automatically reset itself if a prob-

lem arises without needing a technician

present. If you want to disable the watch-

dog timer, set DIP switch 3 on the I/O board

to the open position and reboot the game.

Coin-In Menu

FIGURE 3 - COIN-IN MENU

Game cost can be controlled two ways: by

changing the number of credits required to

play a game, or by changing the cost of a

credit. The Coin-In Menu allows you to ad-

just the cost of a credit, as well as provide a

way to give players “bonus” credits for de-

positing a higher amount of money. On the

Cash-In and Credits Table, the “-” and “+”

buttons are used to change the number of

credits, while the corresponding price value

for the credits is entered by pressing the

Edit button in that row.

NOTE: The “Edit” button will bring
up a numbered keypad, limited to 2
decimal places. The Cash-In and
Credits Table is ordered, so values
must be set in increasing increments
from top to bottom of the screen. The
final two values, however, can be
entered as “0”, which is the equivalent
of N/A. As each row on the table is
filled in, the “Edit” button will appear

for the subsequent row below it.

Similar to the Cash-In and Credits Table, when

programming the Channels on the Coin-In

Menu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest value

coin, Channel 2 for the next highest value,

etc. The meter pulse, which is the highest

common divisor of all the monetary values

of the Channels, is independent of the cred-

its and only tracks the smallest unit of cur-

rency. Operators can use this number to

determine the amount of money earned on a

game by multiplying the meter pulse by the

reading on the hard meter.

NOTE: Changing the values of the
Channels on the Coin-In Menu may

change the meter pulse. Therefore, a

Cash Settlement Collection should be

performed prior to adjusting the Chan-

nels in order to accurately reflect coin

drop based on the hard meter reading.

Adjusting the Channels will not affect

the Cash-In and Credits Table, which

performs a separate function on the

Coin-In Menu.

To give customers bonus credits for insert-

ing larger denominations, manually adjust

the credits earned per dollar value on the

Credit and Values Table. Coins may be de-

posited in any combination of values, and

the game will automatically register the high-

est number of credits for the total amount of

coins deposited. Once a game is played,

any remaining fractional credits are saved

and applied to the next purchase.

NOTE: It is recommended that if you
are enabling bonus credits, that the
game be set to display in credits and
not money. If the game is set to display
in money, all money values will be
based on the value of 1 credit, which is
typically the most expensive credit.

The type of currency registered can be ad-

justed by touching the Change Currency

button at the bottom right-hand corner of the

Coin-In Menu. Touching the Default Set-

tings button just below it will return the Coin-

In Menu to its factory settings. This setting

can be adjusted (as described previously),

but will return if the game memory is cleared.

Coinless Coin Op Menu

When enabled via the Options button on

the Credits/Pricing Menu, the Coinless Coin

Op feature allows the operator to charge

on a per-game or per-time basis without

players inserting money into the game. The

total amount owed after gameplay is tallied

by the machine and collected by the location

owner. Location owners reset the game

with a PIN after collection.

NOTE: If you have set a tax fee on the
Cash Settlement Screens, Coinless Coin
Op Mode play will be taxed at the set
rate. If you want to set the tax
percentage at a different rate for
Coinless Coin Op mode and regular
mode, you should perform a Cash
Settlement Collection, change the tax
rate and then switch modes.

Certain features will not be available in

Coinless Coin Op Mode, such as MegaNet

content, Merit Money, Promo Credits, Free

Credits, credit card purchases,

TouchTunes® music and AMI jukebox music.

Pricing for these features can only be

displayed in currency values, not credits.

Setting the PIN

Touch the Set PIN button on the Coinless

Coin Op Menu to program the PIN. The

number can be from 1 to 5 digits.

NOTE: The Coinless Coin Op PIN can
also be set from the Player Menu.
Touch the Options button, enter the 6
Star PIN, and touch the CCO Set PIN
button.

Disabling the Money Inputs

It is recommended that the money inputs be

disabled when the game is in Coinless Coin

Op mode. Unplug the power and signal

harness connected to the bill/note acceptor

and the harness connected to the coin

mech (if applicable) to disable the inputs.

FIGURE 6 - PAY PER TIME SCREEN

To Enter This Screen, Touch
“Pay Per Time” on the Credits Menu

Per-Game Mode

When players choose this mode, a running

total of the amount owed is maintained and

displayed in the CREDITS box on the

screen. The total is tabulated after each

game or function. The location owner then

collects the total amount owed at the end

of gameplay. If there is no activity for 10

minutes, the machine will disable and the

amount owed by the player will display on

screen. No further gameplay can occur

until the machine is reset by a location

employee using the PIN.

Time Mode

The price per 15-minute time block will be

displayed before players choose this

mode. During gameplay, the time remaining

and amount owed by the player will be

displayed on screen. When the time block

runs out, players can purchase additional

time. Otherwise, the machine will disable

and the amount owed by the player will

display on screen. No further gameplay

can occur until the machine is reset using

the PIN. If the player leaves the game

before the purchased time block has ended,

the game can be reset using the PIN.

Resetting or Freezing the Game

The game can be reset at any time using

the pre-programmed PIN. Once gameplay

totals have been tallied by the machine, the

attendant can also choose to freeze the

game to prevent more activity until the

transaction is complete. The Reset or

Freeze buttons are accessible through the

Options button on the Player Menu after

touching the Coinless Coin Op button. An

alarm will begin to sound after 3 failed

attempts to enter the valid number when

entering the PIN to reset the game. The

alarm will terminate when the machine is

rebooted, the operator SETUP button is

pressed, or the correct PIN is entered.

Rental Mode

When enabled via the Options button on

the Credits/Pricing Menu, Rental Mode

allows players to purchase a block of time

and use it to play as many games as they

want.

To set the value of a credit in Rental Mode,

select Pay Per Time from the Credits

Menu. Touch the arrows on either side of

the time interval to adjust the number of

minutes of play given for each credit. To

disable any row, set the value to zero.

Certain features will not be available in

Rental Mode, such as MegaNet, Merit

Money, credit card purchases, Promo

Credits, and Free Credits. Rental mode is

also unavailable with linked games.

NOTE: It is recommended that you
clear the books when toggling Rental
Mode on and off in order to ensure
accurate bookkeeping.

Freeplay Mode

Turn this option on to enable free game play,

which can be used for promotions and

demonstrations. Additionally, Megatouch

systems with credit card functionality will

enter Credit Card Demo Mode when freeplay

is enabled. This can be used to show how

the credit card feature works without

actually charging a credit card.

Network Menu - Hardware Setup

This section describes the hardware side of networking your games. If you are connecting
your Ion game wirelessly, skip to Connection Wizard.

NOTE: Megatouch games that are connected using the Mega-Link system must have the
same level of software for proper operation. The software is designed to detect other
levels of software in linked games. If a different software level is detected, the games will
not link and an error message will be displayed when you enter operator setup. If you
want to link these games you must upgrade all games to the same software level.

AMI Jukebox Linking

To enable the link, you will need a broadband Internet connection, a router, and Ethernet
cable(s) (if you are not connecting wirelessly). It is recommended that you set up and
configure your router prior to initiating the link. Once the router is configured, follow the
instructions below for hardware setup.

Turn off both the jukebox and your Megatouch game.

Unlock and open the jukebox door to locate the unit’s interior router.

Insert the Ethernet (Category 5) cable through the access hole in the rear of the

jukebox, then connect the cable to the interior router.

NOTE: If the jukebox is mounted to the wall, it may be necessary to temporarily

dismount it to properly run the Ethernet cable.

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your external router.

Connect a separate Ethernet cable to the Ethernet coupler on the outside of your
game, then to the router.

Turn on the game and jukebox. Continue with AMI Jukebox Mega-Link.

Game-to-Game Linking

NOTE: If you are linking more than 2 games together, you will need a hub. If you
are linking games AND connecting them to the Internet, you will need a router
with a switch.

Turn off the games.

Connect one end of each Ethernet cable to the Ethernet coupler at the back of the

game. (The Ethernet coupler features a wider port than the phone coupler alongside

it.)

Secure the cable to the U-bolt on the back of the game. (This will prevent unnecessary

strain on the connector if the game is turned or moved.)

Linking two games: Connect the free ends of the Ethernet cables into a crossover

coupler.

Linking more than two games: Connect the free ends of the Ethernet cables into a
hub or router.

Turn on the games. Continue with Connection Wizard.

AMI Jukebox Mega-Link Setup

In available markets, your Force or Ion Mega-

touch game(s) may be linked with an AMI-

powered jukebox by utilizing the Mega-Link

feature, which allows customers to view

and play jukebox music selections directly

from the Megatouch.

After initiating the link, the game will down-

load the AMI catalog. Under normal circum-

stances, this could take about 30 minutes

on Ion platform games. There is a catalog

download available on the Web site which

will decrease this time (http://

www.meritgames.com/amidatabase.asp).

Follow the instructions on the site to down-

load the catalog and load it on your game

prior to initiating the link.

Overview

The Local Tournament is a completely programmable tournament promotion system, allowing

players to compete for a prize pool based on the income from premium-priced tournament

games. At the completion of the tournament, the top three scorers are entered into the

Winners’ List for retention until they claim their prizes. The game can be set to use cash

prizes or redemption points depending on local laws.

Up to four tournaments can be programmed to run simultaneously. The settings for each

tournament, including game cost, rounds, starting time, ending time and date, duration, and

prize pool, can be independently programmed to provide maximum flexibility and promotional

potential. Each tournament can be further programmed to be a single, repeating tournament

game, or a sequence of different games, which change for each tournament period.

Players who achieve one of the three high scores during a tournament must enter their

name, along with their own personal identification number (PIN). Should they finish as one

of the three highest scorers in that tournament, the PIN will be used to ensure positive

identification of the player. Provided an attendant is present, prizes may be claimed anytime

after the completion of a tournament. Once the prize is awarded, it is noted on the Winners’

List and is accounted for in the bookkeeping statistics.

Local Tournament Mode

NOTE: If your game was running TournaMAXX and you are switching from On-
Line Mode (TournaMAXX) to Off-Line Mode (Local Tournament), you will need
to perform an “Update From Server”. Perform the Update from Server prior to
switching modes so that no TournaMAXX information is deleted. To do so,
touch the “Update From Server” button on the Network Menu (Ion games) or
TournaMAXX Menu (Force games).

To maintain accurate bookkeeping statistics, it is also advised that you per-
form a Cash Settlement Collection before proceeding to Local Tournament
Mode.

NOTE: The transition from TournaMAXX to Local Tournament requires that the
game be switched from ON-LINE to OFF-LINE mode. From the System Menu,
choose “Options”, then touch the OFF-LINE button. If you are returning to
TournaMAXX, you must return to this screen and select ON-LINE.

Usage/Notes

8 Motherboard

configuration &
checksum test

•

Configures the CMOS settings on the motherboard to the
default specifications and checks the files on the hard drive.

A checksum test should be performed when the game is locking
up or rebooting. If the test fails, the program should be reloaded
onto the hard drive. After reloading, perform another checksum
test. If it fails again, the hard drive should be replaced.

6 Hardware

configuration

•

Identifies system hardware and configures the motherboard.

A hardware configuration occasionally needs to be performed
after a kit is installed and the touchscreen is not responding to
touch or the calibration is off.

5 & 7

Memory clear for
TournaMAXX
and TouchTunes

•

Clears the login name, password, access phone number, and
all call-in settings for TournaMAXX users.

•

Clears all the loaded albums for TouchTunes users.

•

Clears current books, coin-in, high scores and resets the
software options.

A memory clear should be performed when a game is not able
to connect to TournaMAXX and there is some question about
the information in the Dial-Up Network Screen being correct.
After performing a memory clear, TournaMAXX setup
information must be re-entered, and an Update From Server
should be performed.
NOTE: TournaMAXX games must perform an Update From
Server BEFORE performing a memory clear.

4 & 7

Complete
memory clear

•

Clears ALL memory on hard drive including the TournaMAXX
player database, TournaMAXX settings, advertising screens,
bookkeeping, high scores, coin-in, options, etc. It resets the
game to the factory defaults. It also marks bad sectors on
hard drive.

A complete memory clear should only be performed when the
game is locking up or resetting and it has passed the checksum
test. After performing a memory clear, the player database
should be reloaded, TournaMAXX setup information must be re-
entered, and an Update From Server should be performed.

NOTE: TournaMAXX games must perform an Update From
Server BEFORE performing a complete memory clear.
