Safety

Lesson 1 SAFETY
Lesson Overview
This lesson will be dedicated to the discussion of Safety. Safety not only covers personal safety,
which is of the utmost importance, but will cover machine safety and ESD (Electrostatic
Discharge).

Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to:

 State general personal safety procedures

 State general machine safety procedures

 Discuss general electrical safety

 State the definition of ESD

 Discuss what causes ESD

 Discuss how to prevent ESD damage

1.1 Personal Safety


Observe the following to ensure personal safety:

• Always remove rings, watches and all metal jewelry when working around or on the
machine

o Metal acts as a conductor and can be very dangerous when working with
energized equipment

o Jewelry may act as a catch hazard

• Use proper lifting techniques and be sure to balance the load when lifting heavy items

• Be careful of "pinch-points" and sharp edges on the machine

MT 360 G23 Cabinet Page | 1


Safety

1.2 Electrical Safety


The hazards of electricity can be deadly. Always be aware of safety precautions when working
with or around electricity. Electricity travels through conductors, which is anything that allows
electricity to flow. Excellent conductors allow electrons to flow with minimal resistance and
include metal or moisture. Insulators have a high resistance to the flow of electrons and include
plastic, rubber, dry wood, air or glass. There is no perfect insulator even though insulators have
a high resistance to the flow of current.

1.2.1 General Electrical Safety Procedures


Use the following rules when working with or around electricity:

• Make sure electrical equipment is properly grounded

• Put the back of your hand against the metal chassis of the machine before opening it.
If the machine has no ground, there will be AC voltage on the machine chassis. This
technique will cause your muscles to contract away from the machine rather than
forcing you to hold onto the machine

• Always use the hand-behind-the-back method, whenever possible, when working


inside a machine to prevent creating an electrical path through your heart

• Turn machine power off on machines before cleaning, inspecting, repairing or


removing components. Removing or replacing a component with power applied is
referred to as “Hot Swapping”

 Some power sources are un-switched and may require the


machine to be unplugged.

• Do not touch or use any electrical device while wet

• Be aware of power access panels and junction box locations and keep the area clear

• If someone has been shocked, separate the victim from the current before performing
first aid. Use rope, wood or any other insulator to pull the victim away if power
cannot be turned off

• Use properly rated fire extinguishers for electrical fires. Never use water since it is an
excellent conductor

• Never stick probes, screwdrivers or metal objects into the machine power supplies

Page | 2 MT 360 G23 Cabinet


Safety

• Observe extreme caution when working with CRT monitors. The voltages held in the
back of a tube are deadly! Do not stick your hands or any metal objects into the back
of the chassis or near the primary anode. Parts of the monitor can hold a charge long
after it has been removed from the machine.

1.2.2 Unsafe Conditions


Report any of the following unsafe conditions to the supervisor:

• Someone that has been shocked

• Bad ground

• Sparking, overheating or smoking machines

• Corroded outlets, switches and junction boxes

• Extension cords in permanent use

• Exposed wiring, broken plugs or outlets; missing box covers or faceplates

• Outlets in damp areas without GFCIs (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt)

• Too many machines plugged into a power strip or outlet

• Too many machines or other current drawing equipment on the same circuit

• Machines sitting on cabling

1.3 ESD
Electrostatic Discharge is a sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two
objects that have different potentials as the result of direct contact or an electrostatic field. This
force of nature may cause damage to integrated circuits, PROM devices and logic boards that are
particularly sensitive to ESD voltages.

An object develops a charge of static electricity when two materials come into contact and
separate, an affect called tribo-electric charging or charging through friction. It is difficult to
determine the amount of electrical discharge that may occur because charges vary based on the
type of material involved and the friction that takes place. Walking on carpet, combing hair and
unwrapping plastic packaging are examples of actions that cause a static charge in material.

MT 360 G23 Cabinet Page | 3


Safety

1.3.1 ESD Damage


Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may occur at any point from manufacturing to
field service if improperly handled. An ESD event can occur through a direct discharge of
static electricity to the integrated circuit or electrical induction when a charged object is
near a conductive object that is isolated from ground potential, causing a charge through
the electrostatic field and discharges when an item such as a tool or other conductive
material comes in direct contact. In other words, mishandling susceptible devices
through poor ESD control practices may cause a latent or catastrophic failure.

1.3.1.1 Latent Failure


Latent failures are the hardest to identify because exposure to an ESD event may only
leave the circuit partially degraded. This will allow the component or device to continue
working however; the life expectancy will degrade because ambient temperature and
humidity will reduce the handling capabilities, eventually causing a failure.

1.3.1.2 Catastrophic Failure


A catastrophic failure occurs because a circuit or device no longer functions due to
exposure to an ESD event. The event may have caused a burn or breakdown of the
materials in the integrated, circuit, conductor or insulator.

1.3.2 Preventing ESD


The best methods of preventing ESD are:

• Transport products in anti-static safe packaging such as anti-static containers, IC


tubes, bags or boxes

• Keep all electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at a static-
free location

• Always wear safety equipment and place items on a grounded surface after removing
them from their container

• Use an ESD wrist strap and/or grounding mat while working with ESD sensitive
materials. Grounding wrist strap, IGT P/N 61902490. Grounding wrist strap cable,
IGT P/N 61901390. Grounding cable clip, IGT P/N 44600190. These parts are
bundled into the CN 3160 ESD Protection Kit, IGT P/N 61902590

• Handle all boards by the edges

Page | 4 MT 360 G23 Cabinet


Safety

• When handling any static sensitive board, follow these simple rules:

o Leave the board in its sealed protective bag until the time it will be installed and
ensure there are no holes (greater than 1/8 inch) or tears in the bag

o Never lay any static sensitive board on top of any metallic ESD bag

o Use ESD mats or an ESD work-bench whenever possible

o When handling boards, always use the sides for lifting or moving

o Never lay items such as clear plastics, Styrofoam cups or any other statically
charged items on top of the board

1.3.2.1 ESD Tools


Observe and use the following tools when working with or handling unshielded devices:

also has a 7 port USB hub.

The board requires +12VDC at J32. +24VDC is not used on the board to power any circuitry but
is distributed to various connectors. The USB hub requires its own supply of +5VDC at J25. The
illustration on the next page shows the overall architecture of the PCB.

There are seven fuses on the board. Two of the fuses are of the automotive type fuse. F1 is a 15
Amp Fast Blow fuse for the +12 VDC. F2 is a 7.5 Amp Fast Blow fuse for +24VDC.

The following information applies to the Tell Tale battery indicator on all distribution and
control boards:

• Slow flash (Long pause between illuminated LED) indicates a good battery

• Opposite flash (Long illuminated LED between short duration of no LED) indicates a
charging battery

• Rapid Flash indicates a disconnected battery

4.1 Installation Package Information


Thumb drives (also known as flash drives, jump drives and dongles) use a standard USB
connection that links directly to the IGT Brain Box to install software packages.

The set of programs required to install and run the AVP operating system are contained on one
thumb drive which is called the installation device. For Native themes, which is software
specifically written for AVP, the device label will begin with “AI”. The installation device installs
the AVP, CONFIG and QNX programs which are displayed on the Version screen. The
installation device does not reside in the machine, therefore the AI number is not displayed in
the Version screen. The video game program, beginning with “Game”, is provided on an
installation thumb drive device with a label that begins with “GI”. After installation, the hard
drive contains these files:

Operating System AI014014 Theme GI014001V780001


• /IGTStorage/Active/Images/OS/QNX6.3-0005.package
• /IGTStorage/Active/Images/OS/QNX6.3-0005.certificate
• /IGTStorage/Active/Images/Games/Game014-001V78-001.package

• /IGTStorage/Active/Images/AVP/AVP014-00208.package
• /IGTStorage/Active/Images/AVP/AVP014-00208.certificate

For emulated programs, which is software written for the 80960 product but has been converted
for use with the AVP, the system installation thumb drive device begins with “AE” and installs
the AVE, CONFIG and QNX programs. The installation device for the emulated game begins
with “GE” which installs the GBE program. After installation, the hard drive contains these files:

Operating System AE011027 Theme GE011001S970001

4.2 AVP Operating System Family


The family number describes the interface between the games and the system. If the interface
changes and compatibility between the games and the system is lost, a new family number must
be created. When the system loads, it ignores any game packages that do not have the same
family number. This is done because a mixing of games and systems from different family
numbers cannot be done.

Information about Native AVP family numbers is as follows:

• Family 012 – Updates were made to make it possible to put packages on the AVP and
move them around. This was required for the launch of sb1.2 gaming and the
downloading of games to the system

• Family 013 – This family was created due to the need for sliding paytables in multi-
denom support. This family also introduced licensing and AVP 2.5 hardware. Later
releases of Server Based gaming are being released on this family

• Family 014 – Player selectable main menu, dynamic buttons, double up and tournament
capabilities have all been added to the system. All games released on Family 014 will
have support for the different top screens that IGT offers

 For Native themes, when loading the software the family


number for the theme, operating system and Boot chips
must match.

4.3.3 Diagnostic Thumb Drives


The Diagnostic Thumb Drive allows testing, auditing, clearing memory, and other
features to the technician without the use of the software on the hard drive.

 The release of Diagnostic014-04 and later is fully


compatible with all Boot programs and will be required to
support the ATI Radeon HD 3650 video card in bonus
controllers.

The Diagnostic014-04 Thumb Drive allows an independent program to verify the


software installed on the hard drive has not been modified. GLI (Gaming Laboratories
International) verifies these algorithms and provides them to the local jurisdictions as a
3rd party verification. The three types of tests available are:

CRC32: Cyclic Redundancy Check

SHA1: Secure Hash Algorithm

MD5: Message-Digest Algorithm 5

4.3.4 eKeys
Three USB eKeys allow the technician to perform secure functions on the machines.

Installation eKey0003: Allows the software to install on the AVP hard drive

Diagnostics eKey0004: Provides access to secure Diagnostics functions

Setup eKey0005: Allows secure machine optioning

Universal eKey0007 Allows installation, diagnostics and setup functions.

 The Universal eKey0007 use is based on jurisdictional


approval.

AVP Programs and Licensing

4.3.5 License Dongles


A licensing device (License Dongle) is associated with the Operating System program
family and the theme number. The License Dongle is similar to a SafeNet ikey1000,
which is the same type of device that is currently used for the AVP eKeys. The License
Dongle is actually the updated ROHS version of the ikey1000. It has an embedded LED
that stays illuminated whenever installed so that it will be easy to verify the installation
of the device.

The License Dongle is a USB device that does not contain any verifiable code related to
game play or outcome. It is simply an on/off switch for a particular game theme. The
License Dongle is encrypted so that it cannot be copied. The License Dongle will be
labeled using a sticker similar to what is currently seen on program chips. The License
Dongle is completely hot swappable. That means that it can be inserted and removed
with power applied. Removal of the License Dongle will result in de-activation of the
theme, regardless of the presence of credits. The game theme cannot be enabled or setup
until the License Dongle has been installed. The License Dongle must be inserted into
one of the USB ports and must remain inserted to keep the current theme enabled.

All Family 013 and 14 Native and Family 011 Emulated themes released after the
licensing has been introduced must be supported with a correctly licensed OS, Boot
program set and License Dongle. The families will be discussed later in this section. The
License Dongle is linked to both the Operating System Family and the Theme ID
number. When updating a program set against a CN or IN, the CN or IN will specify if a
new license or Boot program set is required as part of the new program.

 AI014-075 Operating System and later does not require a


license dongle for the OS operation.

 License Dongles for themes list the Theme ID that matches


the installation thumb drive media on the upper left hand
corner of the label.

The following information is a breakdown of the data that is seen on this screen.

Feature Name – (AVP, Native System) the feature name represents what is being
licensed:

Version – (1.0) Feature checkouts include version numbers to ensure that the license
being requested has a version number less than or equal to the version number of the
feature license. This ensures the compatibility with installed software.

Issued – (10-sept-2007) Set to the issue date of the license

Issuer – (plant1000) Contains the information related to the manufacturing location.

• Plant 1000 if the manufactured location is Reno


• Plant 1200 if the manufacturing location is Las Vegas

Notice – (Copyright 2006, IGT. Issued to California Service) This field is used to hold customer
information as well as a copyright notice.

Vender String – (<type>production<type><family>013</family><class>standard</class>)


This is an attribute of a feature that consists of vendor specifiable information. This information
cannot be modified by an end-user.

License Dongle Failure

For Native themes, if the License Dongle should fail or lose communications during game play,
the player can complete that game. After game completion, a license failure message will appear
on the main display and the machine will be disabled. The player will be able to cash out credits
without assistance from floor personnel if the failure occurred with credits on the machine. If
the License Dongle fails during an idle game state, the license failure message will appear on the
main display and the machine will be disabled. The machine will remain in a disabled state until
the error has been corrected.

Dynamic Buttons

LVDS OLED Controller (IGT P/N 769415XXW)


This controller decodes a 4 bit address so it will know what position it is in on the FLEX harness
and decodes differential signaling communications to display graphics on the OLED display.
The LVDS OLED Controller gets access to the serial communications, power, address and
programming through the 22 Line Interconnect assembly and the 21 pin CONAN to 22 Pin FLT
assembly. This controller contains two linear voltage regulators. It receives +14.3 VDC and
converts it to +13VDC which is used by the OLED display only. It receives +4.5VDC and
converts it to +3.3VDC. This voltage is used as the logic voltage.

22 Line Interconnect Assembly (IGT P/N 754009XX)


This assembly provides an interface from a 22 pin female connector that is on the 21 Pin
CONAN to 22 Pin FLT Assembly to another 22 pin female connector on the LVDS OLED
Controller. This assembly receives +4.5VDC and +14.3VDC from the 21 Pin CONAN to 22 Pin
FLT Assembly and routes those voltages to the LVDS OLED Controller.

21 Pin CONAN to 22 Pin FLT Assembly (IGT P/N 754004XX)


This assembly provides an interface from a 21 pin female connector that is on a FLEX harness
(IGT P/N 76301600W and IGT P/N 76301200W, at the time of this writing) for an OLED

Dynamic Buttons

Maintaining and Troubleshooting Dynamic Buttons


The following information will assist the technician in maintaining and troubleshooting
dynamic buttons.

• Never disconnect or connect a dynamic button to a flex cable with power applied to the
switch assembly. Turn off the machine, remove power from the Blackfin boards or pull
the power connector from the flex I/O card before working with the switch-to-flex cable
connections

• If power to the Blackfin assembly is lost, the machine will not tilt, but it will be
unplayable due to no switch functions

• If the USB connection to the Distribution and Controller Board is lost, all of the switches
will display the IGT logo. All switches will be non-functional

• If the HDMI cable is disconnected from the Flex I/O card, the machine will display a
button panel tilt and will remain tilted until the condition is corrected and the door is
cycled. The switches will start to flash and display CSDA

 CSDA means no Clock, Strobe or Data is being received


from the Blackfin controller.

• All of the switches will flash CSDA when the Blackfin Controller does not have a program
installed or if it has completely failed

• If a switch is completely disconnected from the system, at the flex connection or


internally, the machine will display a Button Panel tilt and remain that way until the
condition is corrected and the main door is cycled

• The OLED display in the Dynamic Button can fail but leave the switch active without
causing a Button Panel Tilt on the machine

• If there is a scrambled OLED display, remove power from the switch panel, inspect all of
the flex cable connections and reapply power. Many times a simple power cycle will clear
scrambled switch displays. If the scrambled display does not clear, the switch may have
to be disassembled and the internal connections reseated during reassembly. If the
display is still scrambled, try swapping it with another known good button on the panel.
If the problem follows the switch in question, repair or replace the button. If the problem
does not follow, the problem may be with the flex cable

MT 360 G23 Cabinet Page | 115


Dynamic Buttons

• A bad connection on one button may cause a scrambled or blacked out display on that
particular button. Moving or reseating that connector while power is applied to the
switch panel may cause the problem to spread by way of corrupted data throughout the
switch panel. If this occurs, remove power from the switch panel, check and secure the
flex cable connections and reapply power. The scrambled displays should clear

The buttons are addressed through the flex cable I/O dip switches and the flex cable
