AFFECTED S/N’S: ALL SERIAL NUMBERS

SWITCH ERRORS COMBINED WITH ANY OTHER ERRORS WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE MENU MESSAGE LINE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DISPLAY, WHEN THE COIN DOOR IS OPENED.

SWITCHES ARE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CHANGE STATES IN A GIVEN NUMBER OF GAMES. THE NUMBER OF GAMES DEPENDS ON THE PRIORITY OF THE SWITCH.

THE SWITCH WILL BE ‘FLAGGED’ AS AN ERROR IN TROUBLESHOOTING IF IT DOES NOT CHANGE STATES IN ‘X’ NUMBER OF GAMES.
