Installation (10V-30V Coin Blocker)

  1. Identify the positive and negative wires that power the coin blocker, using either a multimeter or the game's schematics.

  2. Power off the game and disconnect the coin blocker. Connect the coin blocker wires to the power input terminals on the PFC board.

  • Connect positive to the red power terminal on the board, negative to white. Reversing the two may damage the PFC board.
  1. Attach the wires going to the coin switch itself to the "Coin Out" terminals on the PFC board.
  • Like the coin blocker, connect negative (usually black) to white, positive to red. Reversing the two shouldn't damage anything, but the board will not function.

Installation (5V Coin Blocker Mod)

If your game uses a 5V coin blocker relay (do these even exist?), you must bypass the on-board voltage regulator.

  1. Cut the "5V Reg Bypass" and "5V Reg Enable" jumpers on the right side of the board with an x-acto knife. Check that the two pads of each jumper have NO continuity with a multimeter.

  2. Bridge the bottom two pads of the "5V Reg Bypass" jumper with solder, leaving the top pad disconnected.

With these mods, the PFC board will only accept 5V power input and can be installed using the above steps. Higher voltages will damage the PFC Board. To revert this mod, reverse these steps.

Speed Adjustment

Turn the dial between the Power and Coin terminals with a small screwdriver to adjust the rate that the PFC board inserts coins at.

This is mostly up to personal preference, but may help with troubleshooting game-specific compatiblity.
