Magnetic and E-card Troubleshooting Guide
You should use a Magtek Card Reader to troubleshoot with the following chart.
Problem Possible Solution
Start Sentinel is
yellow or red
Change the magnetic TOF in the LCD according to the start
sentinel reference chart
Verify correct Magnetic Module placement. The Magnetic Module
should be adjusted so that the belt (F000111) is snug prior to
installing the tensioner.
Verify correct tension of the belt (F000111). Belt should have
approximately 1/8 deflection at the center point between pulleys
Random yellow or
red readings on each
track
Verify correct tension of the belt (F000111). Belt should have
approximately 1/8 deflection at the center point between pulleys
Verify the belt (F000111) is riding in the middle of the press on
pulleys (D850190). Adjust position so the press on pulleys are
parallel / even.
Check that all wires are free from any gears
Verify Mag Voltage is @ 6 volts for Hi-Co, 3 Volts for Lo-Co and
JIS2.
Verify that the belts (F000092 and F000094) are not catching /
rubbing against the edges of the pulleys (D850221 and D840888).
Verify the belts (F000092 and F000094) are tensioned properly.
Try replacing the input stepper (E000062)
Random yellow or
red readings with a
spike in the bits
Adjust the magnetic TOF down (closer to the ideal .293) if a spike
is occurring at the end of the card.
Verify correct Magnetic Module placement. The Magnetic Module
should be adjusted so that the belt (F000111) is snug prior to
installing the tensioner.
Verify the card is not running into the Flipper Table. Check the
alignment of the Flipper Table / Flipper Offset.
Inspect all gears on the input hopper drive train for damaged teeth
With cleaning Roller removed, verify all gears roll smoothly and do
not bind.
Check that all gears are free from wires.
