MEGATOUCH™ XL MANUAL

1

Site Preparation

In determining the location for your Megatouch XL

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, coolers or other high power consuming

and electrical noise generating equipment.

Game Description

The Megatouch XL comes housed in a 13”

countertop cabinet, a 19” cabaret cabinet or a 19”

upright cabinet.

The countertop model has 4 key-locked

compartments: the CPU section, the CD-ROM

access, the coin mech section and the coin box. The

upright and cabaret models also have 4 key-locked

compartments: the CPU section, the coin mech

section, the coin box and the rear door. The

countertop is equipped with one coin mech and the

upright and cabaret models have two; optional bill

acceptors are available for all models.

CD-ROM Compartment (countertop model only)

Located on the left side of the game, the CD-ROM

door allows access to the CD-ROM player.

Rear Door Compartment (upright/cabaret models)

The rear compartment of the 19” upright allows

access to the rear of the monitor, the

communications board and the touchscreen

controller

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible from the rear of the

unit in the countertop and from the front of the

upright and cabaret versions. In the countertop, The

CPU section houses the CRT, the monitor controls,

the CPU and CRT-500 I/O boards, the power supply

and the main harness; in the upright and cabaret

versions, the CPU section houses the CPU and

CRT-500 I/O boards, the power supply, the main

harness, the CD player and volume control.

The Dallas key and boot PROM are located on the

CRT-500 I/O board, as is the volume control for the

countertop version. The volume control for the

upright and cabaret models, is located at the front of

the PC shelf (see Figures 4, 6 and 7 for locations).

Coin Mech/Coin Box Section

13” Countertop

The coin mech/coin box section is accessible from

the front of the unit. This section is key-locked for

security purposes. A sturdy metal box, located within

the coin mech section, holds all coins deposited into

the machine. The coin box is separately key-locked

for security.

Also located within the cavity of the coin mech are 2

internal switches, ”SETUP” and “CALIBRATE,” and

the coin meter. Location of these switches can be

seen in Figure 4. Pressing the “SETUP” button will

bring you to the Megatouch Setup screen (see

Figure 1). See the next section for calibration

instructions.

19” Upright/19” Cabaret

The coin mech and coin box are accessible from the

front of the cabinet. Both doors are key-locked for

security purposes.

Also located within the cavity of the coin mech are 2

internal switches, ”SETUP” and “CALIBRATE,” and

the coin meter. Location of these switches can be

seen in Figures 5 and 7. Pressing the “SETUP”

button will bring you to the Megatouch Setup screen

(see Figure 1). See the next section for calibration

instructions. The remote monitor controls are also

located inside the coin mech section, Velcroed to the

top of the coin box.

Screen Calibration

The machine must be in the idle mode or game

select mode to calibrate the touchscreen.

 Find 

the 

“CALIBRATE” button located behind the

coin mech and press it to enter the screen
calibration mode.

 

Touch the center of the first circle that appears
on the screen. Once you release your finger, a
second circle will appear on the screen.

NOTE: YOU MUST HOLD YOUR FINGER ON THE CIRCLE

FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS FOR THE
CALIBRATION TO BE RECOGNIZED.

 

Touch the center of the second circle that
appears on the screen.

 

Once the second circle is touched, a crosshair
will appear on the screen. To test the calibration
of the screen, touch the crosshair with your
finger and slowly drag your finger around the
screen. The crosshair should follow your
movement.

 Touch 

the 

“EXIT TEST” icon.

NOTE: On upright models, if you open the
monitor door while the machine is on, you will
have to recalibrate the touchscreen.

Degaussing your Monitor

If your monitor is displaying “purity problems,” (a

display with purity problems will have parts of an all-

white screen affected by blotches of color) the

monitor needs to be degaussed using a “degaussing

coil.” A degaussing coil is a circular electromagnet,

used to cancel out any stray magnetic fields that may

build up on a metal object.

All of our monitors have built-in degaussing coils that

are automatically activated on power-up. If your

game is experiencing minor purity problems, try

powering down the game for 5 minutes and then

reapplying power to activate the degaussing coil. If

the problem is not corrected, you will have to use a

manual degaussing coil.

Follow the instructions below for degaussing a

monitor.

1.  Plug in your degaussing coil.

2.  Hold the coil about three feet from the monitor,

press the trigger to activate the magnetic field
(for circular-shaped coils, orient the coil so you
see the monitor through the hole in the middle;
for wand-shaped coils, point the wand towards
the screen).

3.  Move the coil in a circular motion around the

face of the monitor and slowly approach the
game.

4.  Continuing to move the coil in a circular motion,

slowly back away from the monitor.

5a. CIRCULAR-SHAPED COILS: When you are

about three feet away, quickly turn the coil
perpendicular to the monitor and release the
trigger.

5b. WAND-SHAPED COILS: When you are about

three feet away, point the wand away from the
monitor and release the trigger.

Monitor Colors Adjustment
Procedure

For adjusting the colors on any of our monitor types,

we suggest following the procedures described

below.

The vertical/horizontal controls and

brightness/contrast controls are located on the

monitor control panel, Velcroed inside the game. The

monitor RGB controls are located on the monitor

neckboard. Adjust the RGB controls until the screens

look as suggested in the following steps.

Ducksan/Telco/Tatung Monitors

1.  Set the game to the Run 21 game screen.

2.  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.

3.  Adjust the brightness and contrast controls until

the playing cards are a light, ivory color.
(Adjusting the brightness and contrast can also
correct for a lack of sharpness in the picture.)

4.  Exit Run 21 and enter the Hoop Jones game

screen. Make sure that the court surface is
greenish in color and look for a clean, white
border around the number on the player’s jersey.

5.  Exit Hoop Jones and enter the Great Solitaire

game screen. Make sure that the game
background is a light, greenish-gray.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Cabinet

 

The cabinet should be cleaned with a damp cloth
and mild detergent.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

 

The touchscreen glass should be cleaned with a
damp cloth and isopropyl alcohol or a non-
ammonia
 cleanser. Do not use any abrasive or
vinegar-based cleansers, as they will damage
the touchscreen glass
.

To gain access to the entire surface of the monitor

screen on the upright model, you will have to release

the monitor door latches. To do so, open the coin

mech door. Located inside, above and to the right

and left of the coin mech, are two monitor door

latches. Loosen the thumbscrews securing the

latches and rotate the latches to release the monitor

door. See Figure 5.

To gain access to the entire surface of the monitor

screen on the cabaret model, you will have to

release the monitor door latches. To do so, open the

coin mech door. Located inside, above and to the

right and left of the coin mech, are two monitor door

slide-latches. Loosen the thumb nuts securing the

latch and slide the latch open. Pull up on the bottom

of the bezel to remove it (NOTE: TO FULLY

REMOVE THE BEZEL, YOU MUST DISCONNECT

THE GROUND BRAID).

To gain access to the entire surface of the monitor

screen on the countertop model, you will have to

remove the top of the machine. To remove the top of

the machine, unlock and open the rear door.

Disconnect the fan power connector and disconnect

the plastic tubing and ground strap attached to the

lid. Press up on the spring-loaded levers located on

each side of the lid. Push the lid forward and pick it

up to remove. See the decal inside the lid for a

diagram of locations.

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
DECALS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE COMMERCIAL
CLEANERS CONTAINING ANY OF THESE
SUBSTANCES.

Cleaning the Compact Disc and CD Player

 

Clean the CD and CD player approximately
every 90 days, or if you experience any problems
with the CD player.

 

CD cleaning supplies can be purchased from
your local record store or audio supply house.

To activate the game for use with a CD-ROM lens
cleaner, turn off the game and set DIP Switch 2-1 to
“ON.” Turn on the game and follow the instructions
displayed on the screen.

Fan Operation

 

To ensure proper operation of the game, it is
important that all fans are operating correctly
and that the air flow 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.

Troubleshooting

Coin Jam

The game also has coin jam and stringing detection

software. Should a coin become jammed in the

mech or someone tries to string the mech, a

continuous tone will be emitted by the game and the

words “COIN JAM” will be displayed on the screen.

If the game emits the coin jam indicator sound when

powered up, this may indicate that the NORMALLY

CLOSED contacts of the coin mechanism are being

used. The NORMALLY OPEN contacts must be

used.

COIN/CREDIT SETUP

To Enter This Screen, Touch “Coin-In Menu” In The Setup Screen

Figure 3 - Coin-In Menu Screen

The coin/credit ratios of the game may be adjusted to meet any application. The CPU board supports up to four coin
inputs, mechanical or electronic. (Electronic coin mechs are typically used when more than one type of coin needs to
be accepted. If you would like to convert your game from a mechanical mech to an electronic mech, please contact
your distributor or Merit Technical Support for wiring details.)

The coin/credit ratios can be adjusted by touching the screen at the location you want to change. The meter pulse can
also be adjusted so that the coin meter can show the actual cash value of the coins in the cashbox, not just the total
number of coins.

Example: Let’s say that in the country of Atlantis the currency is called units. Atlantis, however, has a 1 unit coin, a 2
unit coin and a 5 unit coin. You decide that 1 credit on the game should cost 1 unit. However, to encourage more play
you want to give 6 credits for a 5 unit coin. The coin setup screen would be programmed as follows:

For every 1 unit coin, the game would give 1 credit and count 1 pulse on the mechanical coin counter. For every 2 unit
coin, the game would give 2 credits and count 2 pulses on the mechanical meter. For every 5 unit coin, the game would
give 6 credits and pulse the mechanical meter 5 times. The mechanical meter will now display the total number of
“units” in the cashbox, not total coins or credits. Press “DEFAULT” to return to the factory settings. Press “EXIT” to
return to the GAME SETUP menu.

Any unused coin inputs must be set to the same settings as the LOWEST of the used inputs for the credit algorithm to
work properly. See COIN INPUT 4E for an example.

increments. (Setting the timer to zero (0) will prevent the screen from being
displayed. This can be used to design a screen that the user does not want to

To change the font formatting, you must select the text you want to change
while at the Primary Video Billboard screen (before entering the Font
Formatting screen). At the Font Formatting screen, touch the font style, size,
color and/or alignment to change the selected text. (If you wish to change
more than one line of text, you must exit the Font Formatting screen to select
the other text and then return to the Font Formatting screen to make the
changes.)

Touching the “DONE” icon exits the user to the Primary Video Billboard
screen.

clip art is displayed on the screen, it can be moved by going to the Primary
Video Billboard screen, touching the desired clip art and sliding your finger to
the location where you want it placed. Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the

Merit Video

Limited Warranty

Merit Industries, Inc. warrants it’s video countertop and
upright machines to be free from defects in material
and workmanship for a period of six months from the
date of delivery or seven months from the date of
shipment from its facilities, whichever occurs first. The
warranty covers all electrical components (except fuses
and light bulbs) and printed circuit boards. Other items
are covered by warranty periods offered by the original
equipment manufacturers (power supplies - 90 days;
video monitors - 90 days).

Failure due to misuse, vandalism, excessive or
intentional abuse, operation outside specified
conditions (including, but not limited to, improper
electrical power source), fire, water damage, acts of
God, acts of war and civil unrest are specifically
excluded.

Merit products are carefully inspected and thoroughly
tested prior to packing and shipment. Any damage
discovered upon receipt of goods, whether obvious or
concealed, must be reported immediately to the
delivering carrier and claims made directly to them.
Merit assumes no responsibility for damages once the
product has left its facilities and any disputes regarding
transportation damage must be resolved with the
shipping company(s).

Merit will repair or replace, at its option, any
component, part or assembly that fails under warranty,
provided that the failed item is returned, shipping
charges prepaid, to Merit’s repair facility and Merit is
notified of the failure within the warranty period. Merit
reserves the right to request the serial numbers of the
item and/or game which has failed , and copies of sales
invoices, bills of lading or other documents as required
to determine the validity of the warranty coverage. Merit
will return or replace warranty items, as specified
above, shipping charges prepaid, by ground
transportation.

Merit’s obligation shall be limited to repair or
replacement as stated above, and shall specifically
exclude any liability for consequential damages or loss
of earnings.

Merit may, at its discretion, provide replacement parts
under warranty prior to receiving defective items
without incurring any ongoing obligation to extend such
accommodations.

In certain instances, due to geographical or other
considerations, Merit may offer PCB warranty service
on an extended time basis as follows:

(a) User notifies Merit in writing (or FAX) of PCB
failure, providing dates of failure, serial numbers
and a brief description of failure symptoms.

(b) Failed PCBs are accumulated for a time
period or quantity accumulation, as designated
by Merit and sent in one shipment to save
shipping expenses.

(c) Merit honors warranty as per dates of failure
notification.

The above terms and conditions constitute the sole
obligation, written or implied, of Merit Industries under
its warranty coverage.
