Site Preparation

In determining the location for your

Megatouch video game, consideration must

be given to a suitable, grounded electrical

outlet. Since the game is a computerized

device, it should have a separate circuit, if

at all possible. If a separate circuit is not

available, care should be taken to provide a

clean and constant voltage. As a basic

guideline, never connect the unit to a circuit

that also supplies power to freezers, cool-

ers or other high power consuming and elec-

trical noise generating equipment. Place the

game in a location where nothing will inter-

fere with proper ventilation. The game should

not be exposed to any dripping or splashing

liquids. Objects filled with liquid should not

be placed on the unit.

Setting up your Megatouch Game

After removing the game from the car-

ton, attach the power cord to the back

of the game near the ON/OFF switch.

Plug the game into a standard AC out-

let.

Turn the power switch at the back of

the game to ON and wait for it to go

through its boot-up sequence. At the

completion of the boot-up sequence,

the game will display the Main Menu

Screen.

The machine has been preset at the

factory and therefore should not need

to be adjusted, however it is recom-

mended that the screen be calibrated

(see

Screen Calibration

) and the coin

or bill acceptor(s) be tested.

There are many custom settings avail-

able for the game. To customize the

settings, follow the instructions begin-

ning with the Main Menu section in this

manual.

1 MEGATOUCH CHAMP OWNER’S MANUAL PM0381-15

Game Description

The Megatouch Champ™ comes housed in

a 15” countertop cabinet.

This model has 4 key-locked compartments:

the CPU section, the service section, coin

mech section and the coin box. The game

comes equipped with a coin mech and op-

tional bill acceptors are also available. This

model also has couplers installed in the rear

of the game. These are used for future

hardware upgrades which include linking

and modem capabilities. Enclosed in the

follow your movement.

•

Touch the

EXIT

button.

Degaussing Your Monitor

If your monitor is displaying purity problems,

(a display with purity problems will have

parts of an all-white screen affected by

blotches of color) the monitor needs to be

degaussed using a degaussing coil. A de-

gaussing coil is a circular electromagnet,

used to cancel out any stray magnetic fields

that may build up on a metal object.

3 MEGATOUCH CHAMP OWNER’S MANUAL PM0381-15

All of our monitors have built-in degaussing

coils that are automatically activated on

power-up. If your game is experiencing mi-

nor purity problems, try powering down the

game for 20 minutes and then reapplying

power to activate the degaussing coil. If the

problem is not corrected, you will have to

use a manual-degaussing coil. Use the fol-

lowing instructions for degaussing a moni-

tor.

Plug in your degaussing coil.

Hold the coil about three feet from the

monitor, press the trigger to activate

the magnetic field. For circular-shaped

coils, orient the coil so you see the moni-

tor through the hole in the middle; for

wand-shaped coils, point the wand

towards the screen.

Move the coil in a circular motion around

the face of the monitor and slowly ap-

proach the game.

Continuing to move the coil in a circular

motion, slowly back away from the

monitor.

5a. CIRCULAR-SHAPED COILS: When you

are about three feet away, quickly turn

the coil perpendicular to the monitor and

release the trigger.

5b. WAND-SHAPED COILS: When you are

about three feet away, point the wand

away from the monitor and release the

trigger.

Monitor Adjustment Procedure

The vertical/horizontal controls and bright-

ness/contrast controls are located on the

monitor control board, velcroed inside the

rear door.

Pressing the button labeled

SEL

will toggle

through the digital controls. The LED’s indi-

cate which control is selected. One lit LED

corresponds to the top row of options, while

two lit LED’s corresponds to the botton row.

The controls from right to left on the top row

are: Contrast, Brightness, Horizontal Posi-

tion, Horizontal Size, Vertical Position, Verti-

cal Size. The controls from right to left on

the bottom row are: Pincushion, Trapezoid,

Parallel, Zoom and Recall (which sets the

display settings to the original factory de-

faults). When the minimum or maximum value

has been reached, the LED’s will flash.

Adjust the controls until the screens look as

suggested in the following steps.

Set the game to the

Quik Match

game

screen.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal size

and vertical and horizontal position to

make sure that the game screen fills

the monitor screen and that the game

screen is centered.

Adjust the brightness and contrast con-

trols until the red tiles are a rich red and

the background is black. The numbers

on the tiles should be bright white. (Ad-

justing the brightness and contrast can

also correct for a lack of sharpness.)

General Circuit Board Handling

Information

Before handling any boards, observe the

following procedures:

•

Prevent Electro-Static Discharge by:

1. Storing the boards in the anti-

static bags in which they are

shipped.

2. Removing any static charge

from your body before handling

the boards.

3. Using a ground strap when

handling the boards.

•

When plugging in connectors to the

board, make sure the connector is

inserted straight onto the header and

that the connector covers all header

pins.

•

Do not connect any peripheral device

to the board, if the power is still

connected to the peripheral or if power

is already applied to the board.

CAUTION

: Be extremely careful when re-

placing the lithium battery on the
motherboard. There is a danger of explo-
sion if the battery on the motherboard is in-
correctly replaced. Only replace the bat-
tery with the same type recommended by
the manufacturer. Dispose of used batter-
ies according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.

PM0381-15 MEGATOUCH CHAMP OWNER’S MANUAL 4

Cleaning the Cabinet

•

The cabinet should be cleaned with a

damp cloth and mild detergent. Always

apply the cleaner to the cloth and not

directly on the game. Liquids could

enter the cabinet and damage electron-

ics inside.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

•

The touchscreen glass should be

cleaned with a damp cloth and isopro-

pyl alcohol or a

non-ammonia

cleanser.

Do not use any abrasive or vinegar-

based cleansers, as they will damage

the touchscreen glass

NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE
SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED
CLEANSERS ON THE MONITOR OR
SIDE DECALS. OVER TIME, SUCH
CLEANSERS COULD HARM THE
TOUCHSCREEN AND ERASE THE DE-
CALS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE COM-
MERCIAL CLEANERS CONTAINING
ANY OF THESE SUBSTANCES.

Cleaning the Fans and Vents

•

The fans and vents should be cleaned

of any dust and grime on a regular

basis to ensure proper ventilation of

the game.

•

To ensure proper operation of the

game, it is important that all fans are

operating correctly and that the airflow

is unobstructed. Make sure nothing is

placed inside the cabinet or next to the

fan vents that would inhibit the flow of

air. Also, if any fans are not operating,

it is important that they be replaced.

Linking Games

Some games include an Ethernet cable and a crossover connector used to link games

together. By linking your games, players can play compete against one another in real-time

interactive play. Follow the instructions below to link your games. The software will allow

up to 8 games to be linked.

Linking two games:

Plug the free ends

of both the Ethernet cables into the

crossover coupler.

Linking more than two games:

Pug the

free ends of the Ethernet cables into a

10 BASE-T Ethernet hub (available from

your distributor as a separate part num-

ber (EC0030-01), or at your local com-

puter store).

Plug in the games and turn on the power.

If installation was successful, you will

see a Mega-Link® button displayed on

the screen after the menu appears.

NOTE: The Mega-Link button will ap-
pear on the game only when 2 or more
games are linked.

NOTE: If a MegaTunes unit has been
linked to a game, the music will be
downloaded to the game. This down-
load time will vary depending on the
amount of music being downloaded.

NOTE: Megatouch games that are con-
nected using the Mega-Link system
must have the same level of software
for proper operation. The software is
designed to detect other levels of soft-
ware in linked games. If a different level
is detected, you will receive a screen
that says, “MEGALINK MISMATCH
CALL ATTENDANT.” This screen will
be displayed approximately 5 minutes
after you turn the games on. To clear
the screen and continue playing the
games, you must turn the power off,
unlink the games, and turn the power
back on again. If you want to link
these games you must upgrade all
games to the same software level.

NOTE: One Ethernet cable is required for each game you are linking. Additional
Cat-5 UTP RJ45 Ethernet cables can be purchased at your local computer store.

5 MEGATOUCH CHAMP OWNER’S MANUAL PM0381-15

Turn off and unplug the games.

Connect one end of the supplied

Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connec-

tor on the outside of the game. The

Ethernet connector is the one on the

left if you are facing the back of the

game. (If you are linking a Vibe or EVO,

the Ethernet connector is the on the

right.)

Connect the second Ethernet cable

the Ethernet connector on the outside

of the second game.

NOTE:

If you are linking games to a Combo

Jukebox or a MegaTunes unit, the free ends
of the Ethernet cables from the games will
connect directly to the Ethernet ports on the
jukebox or MegaTunes unit. If you are link-
ing more than 2 games and a jukebox, or
more than 3 games and a MegaTunes, you
will need to connect an Ethernet cable to the
hub connector on the jukebox or MegaTunes
unit and plug the free ends of all of the cables
into a hub.

MegaTunes:

The Ethernet ports are located

on the Ethernet hub mounted to the single
board computer (SBC). The 4 ports on the
right are all for Ethernet, the port on the left
is for connecting a hub only. Loosen the 2
thumbnuts securing the front access panel.
Connect the Ethernet cable to one of the
Ethernet ports and replace the front access
panel routing the cable through the slots at
the bottom of the access panel.

Combo Jukebox:

There are two available

Ethernet couplers, labeled

Mega-Link

, on

the upper left if you are facing the back of

the jukebox.

Coinless Coin Op Menu

When enabled via the Options button on

Op feature allows the operator to charge

on a per-game or per-time basis without

players inserting money into the game. The

total amount owed after gameplay is tallied

by the machine and collected by the location

owner. Location owners reset the game

with a PIN after collection.

NOTE: If you have set a tax fee on the
Cash Settlement Screens, Coinless Coin
Op Mode play will be taxed at the set
rate. If you want to set the tax
percentage at a different rate for
Coinless Coin Op mode and regular
mode, you should perform a Cash
Settlement Collection before switching
modes.

Coin-In Menu

Game cost can be controlled two ways: by

changing the number of credits required to

play a game or by changing the cost of a

credit. The Coin-In Menu allows you to ad-

just the cost of a credit, as well as provide a

way to give players “bonus” credits for de-

positing a higher amount of money. Use the

left and right arrows to change the number

of credits.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, Chan-

nel 1 is set for the lowest value coin, Chan-

nel 2 for the next highest value, etc. Meter

pulses are independent of credits and only

track the unit of currency. Players are given

an incentive to deposit more money by giv-

ing them “bonus” credits for depositing larger

denominations. Coins may be deposited in

any combination of values and the game will

automatically register the highest number of

credits for the total amount of coins depos-

ited. Once a game is played, any remaining

fractional credits are erased.

Generally, most countries have a factory

default setting. This setting can be adjusted

(as described above), but will return if the

game memory is cleared. Some programs,

depending on the key used, have a currency

default display located to the left of the coin

inputs. It shows the currency value for each

of the coin inputs. This display is used as a

guide and is not used in any calculations.

Touch the currency default display to hide/

show the display.

To give customers bonus credits for insert-

ing a five-dollar bill, the $5 line must be en-

abled in the Coin-In Menu. To enable it, en-

ter the Quick Price Setup Screen and se-

When players choose this mode, a running

total of the amount owed is maintained and

displayed in the CREDITS box on the

game or function. The location owner then

collects the total amount owed at the end

of gameplay. If there is no activity for 10

Overview

The Megatouch Champ is a completely programmable tournament promotion system, allow-

ing players to compete for a prize pool based on the income from premium-priced tourna-

ment games. The top three scorers, at the completion of a tournament, are entered into the

Winners’ List for retention until they claim their prizes. The game can be set to use cash

prizes or redemption points depending on local laws.

Up to four tournaments can be programmed to run simultaneously. The settings for each

tournament, including game cost, rounds, starting time, ending time and date, duration and

prize pool, can be independently programmed to provide maximum flexibility and promotional

potential. Each tournament can be further programmed to be a single, repeating tournament

game or a sequence of different games, which change for each tournament period.

Players who achieve one of the three high scores during a tournament must enter their

name, along with their own personal identification number (PIN). Should they finish as one

of the three highest scorers in that tournament, the PIN will be used to ensure positive

identification of the player. Provided an attendant is present, prizes may be claimed anytime

after the completion of a tournament. Once the prize is awarded, it is noted on the Winners’

List and is accounted for in the bookkeeping statistics.

Merit does not sponsor these tournaments or participate in conducting them. The tourna-

ments are to be conducted at the sole financial and legal risk of the operator, and are based

upon competent advice of the operator’s legal counsel. In any event, the Championship

Edition™ is not to be used in connection with the award of money, merchandise or other

value, in the following states:

Alaska, Alabama, Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, North

Carolina, Nevada, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, West Virginia.

Additionally, the no incremental pot security key (SA3510-02) must be used in the following

states:

Arizona, Arkansas, Maryland, North Dakota
