FIGURE 16 - COIN-IN MENU

PM0317-27 OEM KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 16

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.

FIGURE 19 - PAY PER TIME SCREEN

PM0317-27 OEM KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 18

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.

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 Merit touchscreen. To enable the
link, you will need a broadband Internet con-
nection, a router and Ethernet cable(s) (if
you are not using wireless). It is recom-
mended that you set up and configure your
router prior to initiating the Mega-Link. Once
the router is configured, follow the instruc-
tions below for hardware and software
setup.

NOTE: Some Force games do not sup-
port Super High Resolution and thus
cannot be linked to a jukebox. These
games include Force Radion and Clas-
sic, as well as Force conversions from
Slim, Select and EZ Maxx models.

Additionally, all games linked to a
jukebox must be running 2006.5 soft-
ware (V21) or greater. To determine
what version of software your game is
running, push the SETUP button in-
side the cabinet. The program infor-
mation will be displayed in the lower
left corner of the first screen that ap-
pears. Following the PG3002 will be
the version running on your game.

NOTE:

Megatouch games that are con-

nected using the Mega-Link system must
have the same level of software for proper
operation. The software is designed to de-
tect other levels of software in linked games.

For games running 2007.5 software (V23)
or earlier: If a different software level is
detected, you will receive a screen that
says, “MEGA-LINK MISMATCH CALL ATTEN-
DANT.” This screen will be displayed ap-
proximately 5 minutes after you turn the
games on. To clear the screen and continue
playing the games, you must turn the power
off, unlink the games, and turn the power
back on again. If you want to link these
games you must upgrade all games to the
same software level.

For games running 2008 software (V24)
and later: If a different software level is de-
tected, 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.

Hardware:

Ensure that both the jukebox and your
Megatouch game are turned off and
unplugged before making any con-
nections.

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 tem-
porarily dismount it to properly run
the Ethernet cable.

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

Wired connections:

Connect a sepa-

rate Ethernet cable to the Ethernet cou-
pler on the outside of your game, then
to the router. Plug in and turn on the
jukebox and your game.
