GAME SETUP

1. Step 1:
   Located at the front of the crane usually attached to the joystick are the keys to the crane. The cash box contains any hardware kit and power cords. The manual is located here too.

2. Step 2:
   Insert the key and turn. The handle will pop out. Twist the handle to open the door. Located all the Yellow tie wraps and using a wire cutter, cut all ties. Make sure you cut all yellow ties. These will limit the movement of the crane assemblies. Plug the AC power cord into the power mod and push the other end through the bottom of the cabinet. Plug this into an AC outlet.

3. Step 3:
   The game includes a box full of ticket bundles. These bundles are specific to the cost of play. If you choose to change the cost of the game, you must also update the ticket bundles to match. When placing the bundles into the crane, it is recommended to level them as best as possible.

Assembling the Ticket Tower

1. Step 1:
   Locate the center assembly and note that at the floor of the assembly are alignment holes to insert the crane’s castors. On the two castors that will go into the ticket tower, turn them so that they are all the way up again the bottom of the cabinet.
   Position two crane cabinets as shown.
   Make sure the cabinets are leveled by extending the outer castors about 1/2”. DO not continue until the cranes are leveled.

2. Step 2:
   Place the Ribbon assembly top. Use three AA6004 bolts to attach each side of the ribbon assembly to the crane cabinets.

3. Step 3:
   Remove the graphic that wraps the topper.

4. Step 4:
   Insert one connector at a time through the wire access hole at the bottom of the Topper. When all three are through, place the topper on top of the Ribbon.

5. Step 5:
   Use four AA6584 Allen heads and six AA6212 washers to attach the topper to the ribbon assembly.

6. Step 6:
   Use one AA6085 bolt and AA6075 washer to attach the topper to the top of the large claw assembly on top of the ticket stack.

7. Step 7:
   Locate the wire hole at the back and push the grey wire that comes from the claw you inserted in step 4. Insert both of the back down the backside of the Topper.

8. Step 8:
   Attach the back Ribbon cover using nine AA6155 screws.

9. Step 9:
   Locate the AC power cord and plug this into the AC power module.

Programming Options

Open the door to access the programing button. The Acct button is also located on this panel. The volume knob is located at the top of this panel. The AC power switch is located at the bottom of the AC cord. Both the Coin and Prize meters are located at the bottom of this panel.

How to Program your Crane: Joystick Mode
The crane must be powered on and in attract mode. It will not enter programming mode when in play.

Unlock and open the front door to access the control panel drawer and press the “PROG” button. The control panel display will show “PP” in the credits dis-play and “PP” in the time display. You must move the joystick back to enter program mode. The credit dis-play will show a 0. The Time display will show the val-ue stored for option 0.
Moving the joystick forward will advance to the next option while moving the joystick back will revert back to the previous option. Moving the joystick left will decrease the current option’s value and moving the joystick right will increase the current option’s value.
See “Programming Options” for the list of settings their descriptions. When finished, press the red button to save and exit.

Theory of Operation – How does the crane work?
This crane is unique and unlike any other ICE crane. The crane has two independent boards that work together, the CG2134X main board and the GG2000 board. The main CG2134X board is tasked to process credits, move the claw around, pay tickets, and operate lights while the GG2000 board is tasked in processing the RF tags in the tickets, playing videos, and determining tickets won. Both the CG2134X crane board and GG2000 board will be in attract mode until a credit is detected. Once a credit is detected in the CG2134X board, it will wait for a moment to see if another credit is inserted and if not continue to game mode. If the player inserts enough credits to match option 17 (discount), the crane will award the player with additional game credits depending on the value of option 18 (games given for discount). Credits must be inserted continuously with no game play between for discount to work.

Once the crane board is in game mode, it will send a command to the GG2000 board to display the screen “Move claw to grab as many ticket rings as you can”, begin to play music, execute option 21 (snap) and await the player to move the joystick. It will remain this way until the joystick is moved. Once the crane detects the movement of the joystick, the game’s timer will begin to count down. This value is set in option 10
(Game Time). Once the player presses the red button on the joystick, the crane board will send another command to the GG2000 board to change the display to ready “On our Way!”. It will then lower the claw to the playfield. Once the crane detects the down switch the crane will then execute option 12 (settle time). The claw will remain open until this value is counted down. The claw will close using minimum claw strength (option 3). The claw will then begin to ascend to the top. When the claw reaches the top the claw will revert to maximum claw strength for the remaining time of play.

When the claw reaches the top, it will then execute option 15 (top pause). This allows everything to settle down before moving the claw over the RFID reader. The claw is moved over the RFID reader and lowered to a predetermined position. It then sends a command to the GG2000 to read the values of the ticket bundles collected. Once the values are determined the GG2000 board sends the information to the main crane board. The GG2000 board displays “Thanks for playing”. The crane will check option 5 (Ticket Multiplier) to see if 1/2 tickets are used and then compare the amount won to option 6 (minimum tickets) and pay accordingly. The last two options, 16 (home Pause) and 20 (game over) are executed and the crane returns to the home position. It then looks if more credits are needed to be played. All credits are played out and the crane will return to the attract mode. If credits are still available and a game was played prior to those credits, additional credits will not yield any discounts unless the credits are inserted continuously with no game play between.

When power is applied to the main crane board it will perform a few tests then go into attract mode. If any errors were encountered, the crane display will display dots. At the same time, the GG2000 will power up in a console mode. It will auto start some applications and briefly display the pay table and version number of the software. If at any time the RF pad loses communication with the GG2000 board, the GG2000 will reboot and display Type error: time out.

ERROR CODES on the CG2134X:

• 3 = L/R Motor; Left and Right movement is not functioning.
• 4 = F/B Motor; Forward and backwards movement is not functioning.
• 5 = Up; Claw moving up movement not functioning or up switch not seen.
• 6 = Down; Claw moving down movement not functioning or down switch not seen.
• 7 = Not Valid Error
• 8 = SD Card; Unable to read SDCARD

If any error codes are generated by the crane it will be displayed when you press the “ACCT” button.

• D22 – Indicates that there is 12 volts present from the transformer.
• D23 – Indicates that U6 is providing voltage for the claw.
• D24 – Indicates that U5 is providing 12 volts to the audio section.
• D25 – Indicates that U7 is providing 12 volts is present to provide 3.3 and 5 volts DC for logic.

Test Points for Voltages

• C16 – Positive side has 3.3 volts of DC.
• C17 – Positive side has 5 volts of DC.
• C18 – Positive side has 12 volts of DC.
• C19 – Positive side has 12 volts of DC.

Testing the coil
Unscrew the claw harness counter-clock wise from the crane assembly and disconnect the harness. Looking at the plug on the cable, locate either pin 1 or 4. Place either probe in either pins. Use the other probe and insert this into either pin 3 or pin 2. Set your multi-meter to “OHMS”. The meter should read around 19.6 ohms. If the meter is less than 19 either the diode is bad or the coil is bad. The diode goes across the two tied connections as shown in the diagram.

Accessing the Coil
Use a 9/64 Allen wrench and remove the top of the claw assembly. Then unplug the claw assembly from the main claw harness. Remove the nut shown below. The coil will slide out.
