MEGATOUCH™ XL SUPER 5000 MANUAL

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 9, 10 and 12 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 9. 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 10 and 12. 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.

MEGATOUCH™ XL SUPER 5000 MANUAL

PM0182-01

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, points 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.

5. 5a. CIRCULAR-SHAPED COILS: When you are

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

6. 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 Checkerz 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 top sets of checkers are rich red and the
bottom set are a dark gray. The feet on the
“Checkerz” character should be white. (Adjusting

PM0182-01

MEGATOUCH™ XL SUPER 5000 MANUAL

the brightness and contrast can also correct for a
lack of sharpness in the picture.)

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 11.

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 airflow 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.

Also, see the accompanying Troubleshooting Guide.

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 adjust the cost of a credit, as well as providing a way to give
players “bonus” credits for depositing a higher amounts of money.

In the example below (UK currency), each game costs one (1) credit and the cost for a single credit is 30p. This
method is preferred if you want game cost to always be reflected as “1 credit.”

(player premium 20p/credit)

Note that meter pulses are independent of credits and only track the unit of currency (10p in this example).

In the next example, the cost of a credit is set to 10p and each game costs 3 credits (for a total of 30p). This
method allows game cost to be increased by the smallest unit of currency used (e.g. increasing the cost of Solitaire
to four (4) credits would increase the game cost by 10p).

In both examples, players are given an incentive to deposit more money by giving them “bonus” credits for depositing
50p or £1. Coins may be deposited in any combination of values and the game will automatically register the highest
number of credits for the total amount of coins deposited. Once a game is played, any remaining fractional credits
are erased.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, E1 is set for the lowest value coin, E2 for the next highest value, etc. If all four
