Flashboard Connection/Installation

Data connections for the Bingo flashboards are made with the console data cable output connectors, located on theSapphire Input/Output panel, in the left hand compartmentof the console. Utilize the gap between the bottom of thelefthandconsoledoorandthebottomof theconsoletorunthecables.

Install the flashboard data cable. When possible, we recommend using a one-piece cable avoiding splices,adapters and other mating devices. Wiring to the flashboard may be permanently installed using a wire mold. Where apermanent installation is not possible, install the flashboard data cable through the walls and/or ceiling to where theconsolecanberolledinandeasilyconnectedwithalldataandpowercables.

Youmayhaveaninstallationthatrequireshookupof morethanone flashboard. In such an instance, the second and subsequent flashboards may be daisy chained by connecting the data cable to the “ALT/OUTPUT” connection on the first flashboard to the “ALT/INPUT” connection on the second flashboard, and soon.Thisallowsvirtuallyanunlimitednumberof BingoKingflashboards to be added.

Optional Printer Installation

Theconnectormarked“PARALLELPRINTER” is a standard IBM®compatible dot matrix printerinterface. Simply plug in anyPC-compatible printer power cordand printer signal cable (pleaserefer to the printer operatingmanual forproper instructions) andyou are ready to run. Always keepthe printer set to “ON LINE” topreventanyerrors.

When using your printer, always keep paperinstalledintheprinterandhaveanadequatepapersupplyonhand.Whilean“outof paper”errorwillnotlock-upthesystem,youwilllosevaluablegamelog information if theprinter runsoutof paperandnewpaperisnotinserted.

If you do not use the printer, either turn theprinterpoweroff orunplugtheprinterfromtheprintersignalconnector.

Refer to the owner’s manual of your specific printerforadditionalinformation.

This is not a Bingo King supplied option. An Epson emulated printer would have to bepurchasedseparately.

Troubleshooting 7Chapter

Before attempting any of the following troubleshooting steps, make sure your console and/or flashboard are pluggedintoastablepoweroutlet.Theoutletshouldprovideatleast108VAC.If thevoltageistoolow,yourbingoequipmentwillnotfunctioncorrectly.Thetroubleshootingguideassumesthepowerconnectionshavealreadybeencheckedandareworking.

Blower Motor Troubleshooting

Blower stopped working:

• Check to make sure the console is plugged in and the outlet voltage is sufficient.

• Makesuretheblowerpowerswitchison.

• Makesurethe6ampcircuitbreakerisset.(Seepage58fordetails)

• Makesuretheconnectionattheblowerbasepanisfullyconnected.(Especiallyif theblowerbasepanhas beenremovedrecently.)

• Possiblefaultyblowerswitch.

• Possiblefaultyblower.

Blower operates slowly:

• Air filter may be clogged. Replace with new one. (See page 57)

• Blowermayneedtobeoiled.(Seepage56)

• Have the console’s casters been removed or is the console sitting on thick carpet? If so, there might not be enough air flow under the console to allow for the free movement of air. Raise the console to allow a greatervolumeof airtomoveundertheframe.

• Linevoltagemaybelow.If yourlinevoltageisbelow108VACtheblowerandmixermotorswillrun slower and not very efficiently. Check with an electrician to troubleshoot the building’s electrical service.

Whentroubleshootingyourbingosystem,pleasetakenotewhereandwhentheproblemsareoccurring.If a problem is only present in one flashboard out of many, then the problem is not likely to be in the console, but rather in the flashboard. On the other hand, if the problems are on all flashboards in your hallthenitisverylikelytheproblemsareassociatedwiththeconsole.

Flashboard Output Problems

Flashboard lights flicker

• Possible loose flashboard data connector. Check all flashboard connections on the console and flashboard.

• Faulty flashboard PCB. (Contact distributor for replacement or repair.)

• FaultyconsolePCB.(Contactdistributorforreplacementorrepair.)

��

No flashboard response

• Possible faulty data cable. Check the data cable from the console to the first flashboard to make sureitisingoodcondition,andreplaceanydamagedcabling.Runaknowngoodcableevenif no damageisvisible.Of course,if thereplacementcableworksthenthepreviouscablemusthave beenbad.

• The first flashboard in the chain is bad. The signal coming out of the console might be good, but if the first flashboard in the chain is bad it will not display information and also will not pass the signal on to the other flashboards in the chain. Unplug all data cables from the console and run a known good cable to one of the other flashboards in the chain to check for functionality. If this works, there maybe a worn/damaged/broken flashboard or data cable in the chain. (See above step for a faulty cable.) Check your flashboard distributor or manufacturer about troubleshooting and diagnosing a faulty flashboard.
