SCOPE OF COVERAGE
- Note that our warranty is not an unconditional guarantee for the duration. Dynamo products are made to our exacting standards and known for their durability, but are not indestructible and may require periodic maintenance in order to function properly. The following are not covered by the warranty.
- Shipping or transport damage
- Normal wear and tear
- Damage or deterioration resulting from neglect, misuse, accident, liquid spills, improper installation, abuse, pets, burns or mishandling
- Incidental or consequential damage (except at Valley-Dynamo’s discretion).
- Removal or installation charges.
- Shipping charges except at Valley-Dynamo’s discretion.
- Unauthorized modification of the product.
- Use of this product with unapproved parts, conversion kits or accessories.
- Damage from fire, flood, lightning or other acts of nature
- SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING BATTERIES – Battery failures due to a Manufacturer’s Defect will show up almost immediately. Regular and complete charging of your table’s battery is crucial for long functional battery life. Battery failures after the first 90 days almost always result from not charging the battery fully or regularly. The current Dynamo electrical system allows for a full battery charge in just 6 to 8 hours. Your location may TELL YOU they charge the battery. Are you certain?
EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES
- Valley-Dynamo’s sole obligation and liability under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of a defective product at our option. Valley-Dynamo shall not, in any event, be liable for any incidental or consequential damages resulting from interruption of service, loss of business or revenue, or for liability in tort relating to this product or resulting from its use or possession.
LIMITATIONS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES
- There are no other warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to those of merchantability, revenue generation, or fitness for a particular purpose. The duration of implied warranties is limited to the period specified in the Warranty Length section above.
TO OBTAIN TECHNICAL SUPPORT
- Please check the resources available at www.valleydynamoparts.com or contact TECHHELP@valley-dynamo.com.
- USE OF NON-DYNAMO PARTS OR CIRCUIT MODIFICATIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE! USE ONLY GENUINE DYNAMO-AUTHORIZED PARTS.
- For safety and reliability, substitute parts and modifications are not recommended.
- Substitute parts or modifications may void FCC-type acceptance.
- Use only authorized components and parts. Failure to do so will void the warranty and may result in incorrect and/or unsafe operation.
WARNING FOR ELECTRONIC/DBA TABLES

- Do not use an adapter plug to defeat the power cord’s grounding pin.
- Do not cut off the ground pin.
- Information in this manual is subject to change without notice. Dynamo reserves the right to make improvements in the equipment function, design or components as the process in the engineering or manufacturing methods may warrant.
- FOR GENUINE DYNAMO PARTS AND SERVICE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED DYNAMO DISTRIBUTOR.

Congratulations on purchasing a Dynamo Pool table
- BE SAFE: Pool tables are VERY HEAVY. We strongly recommend that you have no less than two people for the setup, at least three, and preferably 4 for an 8-foot table.
- Lay the box flat on the floor, mindful of the marking “This Side Up.” Cut the banding straps and remove the top portion of the box completely. Lower the sides of the box bottom by cutting or tearing vertically at all of the corners. Remove all staples to prevent scratching the table.
- Open the coin door and remove the cash box lid, and the cash box with its contents.
- The keys to open the coin door and ball view/clean out/trapdoor will be taped to the push chute
- The table should now be carefully lifted onto its side (the coin housing assembly is on the opposite side, and will be pointing towards the ceiling when the table has been lifted). This procedure should be accomplished by two people tilting the table from the short ENDS, not lifting from one long side. This very heavy table could land on you and probably cause injury if you lose your grip while lifting the table from its side.
Removal of the legs and set up.
- Using a #106 (BVD/COD/TD) key, open the trapdoor on the bottom of the table.
- Remove the large wing nut that secures the legs during shipping.
- Pull the legs on the right side out of their holding bracket. Then pull one leg out at a time from the left side. Next, remove both right legs.
- Replace the wooden block and bolt that secured the legs for future use.
- Replace the trap door and lock it.
- Bolt the legs onto the bottom of the table using a ½” socket wrench or straight slot screwdriver.
- Screw the leg leveler completely into the legs and turn the table upright.
- Position and level the table, using an adjustable wrench.
- For removal and storage of the legs follow steps 1-6 in reverse order.
The battery on the Dynamo Sedona DBA is 12 vo lts, 18 amps, and a 3amp charger allows for faster charges. The battery and charging point is re located to the end of the table, away from the secure area of the cash boxes, and accessed by an enlarged Clean Out Door. If your locations are involved in the battery charging process, this eliminates the need for them to have access to the cash box area while maintaining the battery.
- Battery Voltage Quick Check Table should be in the Normal Pricing mode.
- Press and hold down the Start button for 10 seconds.
- Display will show
- current time
- version of software
- current voltage
- To Exit Press and release the Start Button.
- To get a true voltage reading the table charger cannot be plugged in.
- The Quick Check function will not work on a table currently in Happy Hour.
Charging the battery
- Make sure your battery has a full charge prior to placing your table into service. Even though your battery is fully charged when it leaves our facility, just sitting in the table during warehousing and transport will allow some discharge from the battery.
- Please be sure to FULLY charge a new battery prior to installing it in the table. This process takes at least 6 hours (using our 3amp charger) if the battery is not hooked up to the table,
- WE RECOMMEND A 6 HOUR INITIAL CHARGE.
- If the table is in play mode, we recommend a 7-hour initial charge. (figures based on use of our 3-amp charger)
- You cannot “top off” your battery if it is a volt or two low.
- Plugging it in for a quick onehour charge will not do the job. Your battery performs best with a full charge.
Make the time!!
- Not charging your battery completely will eventually damage the battery. Maybe not today, maybe not next week, but a lot sooner than you’d like.
- By not charging the battery completely, eventually you will never be able to charge it completely no matter how long you leave it plugged in.
- Your battery will be damaged if significantly discharged—imagine if running your car down to ¼ tank caused permanent damage to your engine.
- A lead-acid battery cannot be overcharged with our charger. Don’t worry that you have left it plugged in for too long. It doesn’t care.
RECHARGE THE TABLE’S BATTERY REGULARLY EVERY TWO WEEKS
- Low Battery Warning and Battery Protect mode:
- When the voltage on your battery drops to 12.3 volts or lower, the Sedona DBA will show a a “Low Battery – Please Charge” warning on the table’s LCD Display. Have your location notify you immediately if this warning appears so that you may take action to prevent permanent damage.
- At 12 volts, the message changes to “Low Battery – DBA Off.” Your Bill Acceptor will not function at this point and games can be vended only by using coins. Customers will notice.
- At 11.8 volts, the display shuts off completely and will not return until the battery is charged, or replaced with a charged battery. Games can only be vended using the manual push chute.
- If the battery is allowed to drop below 10.5 volts, it will become damaged and will no longer hold a full charge. Never. Not even if you plug it in for a month. It may even show 12+ volts, but will no longer be capable of generating enough amps to keep your system going for more than a couple days before going dead again.
- More often than not, a battery that will “no longer hold a charge” was not the battery’s problem. It was not charged regularly, or sufficiently, or at all.
Battery Warranty Reminder
- Your Dynamo table is covered by a one-year Warranty to be free of defects, but the Warranty coverage on the Battery is limited to 90 days. Proper battery care is critical to guarantee a long life for your battery.
- Not charging the battery completely or regularly is guaranteed to shorten battery life.
- It will become clear within the first few days or weeks if a battery is defective. Battery failures several weeks or months into a pool table’s service life are rarely a result of a manufacturing defect.
- On occasion we have received calls that after three months in a location, every table’s battery is suddenly defective. Not a single battery will hold a charge. This is not a defective battery issue, it is a charging issue.
- Do you trust your locations to collect for you?
- Why trust them to charge your battery?
BATTERY DISPOSAL
-
Lead-acid batteries should never be discarded by just tossing them in the trash. Make sure your batteries are disposed of properly and safely. For more information, call 888-
USA-4001 or visit www.interstatebatteries.com (check the “Recycling” link) to learn about Battery Recycling
-
To go into program mode hold down the S2 switch as the display counts down from 5, release after your display shows
-
After entering program mode, most of your programming will be done using the buttons mounted on the coin door.
-
Use the Start button (top) to enter a program group or increase the option.
-
Use the Speed Pool button (bottom) to decrease the option.
-
Use the Select button (middle) to navigate to the next option.
-
If selecting the “No” option on any “Yes/No” choice, the program skips forward to the next Sub Group or program group.
-
RACK COST – The base price per g ame for your Sedona DBA. This dollar amount should match the table’s push chute value.
-
CREDIT LEVEL OPTIONS – Up to 3 bonus pricing options available. Use these options to award extra games for a larger buy in. If the normal Rack Cost is $2.00/game, use a Credit Level option to offer 5 games for $5.00.
-
TIME PLAY – Use the TIME COST and TIME MINUTES settings to charge based on a time period rather than per game. The clock and Speedpool functions of the Sedona DBA can give you more promotional options in a location.
-
TIME BONUS – Just as with Credit Level bonus pricing, you have the option to award extra time for a larger buy in. If the normal Time Play rate is $5.00 for 30 minutes, you can offer 70 minutes for a $10.00 buy in.
-
If Time Play is not appropriate for your location, this feature can be turned off.
-
HAPPY HOUR – The Sedona DBA can offer as many as 3 “Happy Hours” daily. You can program the table’s internal clock to offer reduced pricing to stimulate
additional business at slow times, or increase pricing during peak hours, or even schedule free play during league hours and avoid leaving a key to the table with that location. Happy Hour pricing is available for both Rack Play and Time Play -

-
The PCB has a battery dedicated to clock function. A loss of power no longer means resetting the clock or reentering all your daily programming.
ESD Push Chute
- All Dynamo Sedona and Sedona DBA tables are equipped with a push chute. If the battery protection measures and reminders to keep the battery charged all still result in a dead battery, your Sedona DBA can still be used. Setting the dollar value of your table is not fully complete until you set the push chute to match.
- Remove the Push Chute from the coin door, and remove anything bolted to the end for easier access. You will need a Phillips screwdriver, enough coins for the current & desired settings, and the inserts for the desired setting.
- To gain access to the inserts, put your coins into the correct slots and then push in the handle.
- After pushing in the chute and your coins drop out, you can now access the inserts and a section that may contain spare inserts. Continue to hold the handle in as shown…
- and unhook the two large return springs from the small hooks on the spring bracket.
- remove the single Phillips screw holding the spring bracket to access the spare inserts (if any). This will also be a very good place to store any inserts you remove during this process so you will easily be able to find them for future adjustments, and aren’t having to dig in your workbench, toolbox, desk drawer, etc.. BE SURE TO FULLY RETIGHTEN THIS SCREW ONCE YOU ARE DONE, if it is sticking up just a little the unit will not move freely. No need to use Olympic-caliber strength, just make sure it is snug. Now turn the unit over.
- Remove the Phillips screw or screws holding the insert retainer plate and you will have access to all the inserts.
- With the Insert Retainer Plate removed, you have ready access to make whatever changes you see fit. Switch coin inserts with blanks, or switch blank inserts for coins. When finished, it is important that the Insert retainer Plate is attached snugly so the unit will move freely and not catch on the plate or screws. Once the Insert Retainer Plate and Spring Bracket are snugly attached, reconnect the return springs, and test that the handle moves smoothly. Reinstall the unit in the coin door, replace the coin door, and enjoy a game on your table.
