PinScore LED Displays and Power Supplies
PinScore™ LED displays are powered from the game's 5V power supply and require no high voltage. PinScore™ LED displays use nearly half the power of competitive LED displays, making them safe to add to your game. PinScore™ displays have been tested in all games and are known to work reliably. In very rare cases, a game with a failing 5V power supply may not function once a PinScore™ display is installed. Other symptoms of a failing power supply include erratic game resets and erratic game behavior. In these situations, the game's power supply should be repaired or replaced prior to installing PinScore™ LED displays.
The plasma technology found in your machine's old displays required high voltage to energize the segments. The high-voltage circuits in pinball machines have high failure rates and are difficult to repair as the parts are obsolete. LED displays will function correctly even if your original game's high-voltage power supply has failed. You can choose to disable your high-voltage supply after installing these displays by removing the appropriate fusing (see your machine's documentation). This will reduce the risk of electric shock when servicing the machine. If your machine requires a new power supply, PinScore™ power supplies designed specifically for LED displays are available for many games.
Installation
- CAUTION: This PS-8363-P Display System CANNOT be used with any original display or driver boards. Damage to both new and old boards will occur if the systems are mixed. Please remove all original boards and install only these new boards.
- Unplug the AC power from your pinball machine. Remove game backglass. Unscrew and remove all original glass displays, master driver board and all inter-board connecting cables.
- Mount all new boards in their respective locations and only hand tighten the mounting screws. You may slide the LED display boards horizontally to adjust their positions for alignment with your backglass windows.
- If not already in place, place the foam light shields on their respective LED display boards.
- Connect the cables. Observe correct polarity on all ribbon cables - the red striped wires on all ribbon cables go to PIN #1 on all boards.
- Double-check all connections, plug in the machine, and turn the game on. The LEDs will light up. Pressing the DIAGNOSTIC push-button on the Master Driver board will illuminate all segments of all displays. This indicates that all boards and cables in the PinScore™ System are operating correctly.
- Use the thumbwheel BRIGHTNESS control on the Master Driver board to set your preferred illumination level.
- Play Pinball! You’ll enjoy your PinScore™ Displays for years to come!
Warranty
All PinScore™ display products are covered by a 5-year, transferable warranty. Should your display fail, contact your distributor for repair or replacement options. PinScore™ products will be repaired or replaced at the distributor’s discretion.
PinScore™ LED displays are a replacement product for aging pinball machines. While PinScore™ LED displays are carefully engineered to replace as many high-failure parts as possible and retain robustness, there remains a possibility that other parts of your machine may need to be repaired before your game will function correctly. These parts include but are not limited to your machine’s MPU, transformer, wiring, and fuses. The PinScore™ warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, faulty wiring, aftermarket game modifications, and incorrect aftermarket repairs.
