Vibe Spire Installation Instructions

CONTENTS:

PM0404-02                                                       VIBE SPIRE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS                                                            1

Before beginning the installation, determine how many Vibes you will be installing.  If you are

installing 2 units, the terminals can be mounted on opposite sides and therefore can be

mounted directly to the Spire.  If you are installing units at 90 degrees to one another, the

terminals must be mounted using the swivel bracket.  The swivel bracket and the hardware

to mount it are available in a separate kit from your distributor (KAV-109-002-XX).

The Spire should be located on a sturdy, level surface.  The unit has leg levelers on the

bottom to make any necessary adjustments to keep the unit level and stable.

Mounting the Vibe Terminals

1.

Using the pilot holes in the Spire as a

guide, drill the four 1/4” holes needed

for direct mount or the six 1/4” holes

needed for mounting the swivel bracket.

Then, using the supplied Allen wrench,

install one of the supplied #10-24 screw

inserts into each hole.  See Figure 1 for

pilot hole location.

2.

Swivel Bracket Mount only

:  Attach the

wall bracket to the Spire by installing

the 6 supplied pan head machine

screws (10 - 24 x 3/4) into the inserts,

as shown in Figure 1.

3.

Direct Mount only:

  Unlock the terminal

and push down on the lock release

while carefully opening the front of the

terminal.  

(Vibes with coin only:

  Re-

move the coin mech assembly from the

game by removing the three screws

securing the coin mech assembly and

pushing in the coin return.  Refer to the

Vibe Owner’s manual for instruction.)

Attach the terminal to the Spire by in-

stalling the 4 supplied pan head ma-

chine screws (10 - 24 x 3/4) through

the terminal and into the inserts, as

shown in Figure 1.  Continue with step

12.

4.

Using Figures 2A and 2B, determine

which swivel bracket you are install-

ing.  The Vibe with bill bracket has the

smaller terminal bracket and the uni-

versal bracket has the long terminal

bracket.  Follow the steps for the

swivel bracket you are installing.

5.

Universal wall bracket only:  

Attach the

terminal bracket to the wall bracket by

installing the machine screw

(1/4 - 20  x 1/2 L)

 

and 2 washers

(.75 T x 1/2 ID x 7/8 OD and

.83 T x 7/16 ID x 7/8 OD) up through the

hole in the wall bracket and then through

the tab in the terminal bracket as shown

in Figure 2B.  The washer with the

larger inside diameter must be closest

to the bracket.  Make sure that the

washers are centered and then loosely

tighten the screw.  Install the hexnut to

secure the bracket, and then fully

tighten the screw and hexnut.

lower shelves inside the Spire.  If you

are installing more than 2 units, the pro-

cessors can be stacked.  If you are

connecting a MegaTunes unit, place it

directly on the shelf and stack any Vibe

processors on top of the MegaTunes.

4.

Route the 9-pin serial cable from the

terminal through the connector access

cutout on the processor and connect it

to the mating connector labeled

“touchscreen controller” in Figure 4.
