Hello everyone I set up the progressive display got the correct $ amount but I can not get it to count up when playing machine If I'am missing something could you let me know
also can I put a Text word in the display I set that up and it said loading info but nothing showed up on display is there something else I have to add Thanks

Hello,
I think your post would be better in the "Mikohn Progressive Systems" section.
To get help you should specify the model of the machine.
Is it a Mikohn Cham II or II+ (standalone), in this case the only way to get a text message is using the JPOT.DO file on PSP.

Agreed.  I've moved the topic to the Mikohn section (previosly posted in Classifieds).   :71-

In order for us to help you get it working, please tell us what kind of machine you have the progressive attached to, and what the relevent settings on your machine are set to.

As far as getting a text message to display, we need to know what kind of progressive meter it is.  Let's tackle that after we get the progressive meter incrementing correctly, though.

Hello guys it is a Ballys Pro slot 6000 its a party spin and has the CharmII 12inch mini progressive what relevent settings do you want to know I will try to Help Thanks

Is it a ChamII or a ChamII+?  I'm under the impression that if isn't not a "+" model that it won't function as a stand-alone progressive meter.

Based on the limited information you've given us, I'm assuming that you have installed this into a machine that didn't originally have a progressive meter.  Do any labels on the boards or chips indicate that it's a stand alone meter (perhaps the word "STAND" or the letters "SA" somewhere)  Have you installed communications cabling between the motherboard of the machine and the meter?  Have you adjusted any settings on the machine to tell it you have a progressive meter?

Please give us as much information as you can.  The more you can tell us about your setup, the more we'll be able to help you.  Treat us like we know nothing about your machine and what you're trying to do, because right now we're a little blindfolded.

  Check to see if the machine has a jackpot relay installed on the backboard and the progressive wiring plug is installed correctly it needs the relay to count up. see picture

I checked the machine and the emprom says CH2 STA/V1.61 sticker says CSTLR STND ALONE on the meter it says CHAM 2 12 CELL MINI this came with the ballys machine but the cable was not hook up to meter when I recieved when I hooked up it said 00.0 C4 I used the psp software and got 10,000 on it but could no get it to increment

check to see it has a jackpot relay on the backboard

Setup the PSP exactly as shown, except change you Base amount and current JP to what you want

The issue is the JPlimit.
Set this to 99999999999 (or as many 9's as it will let you).
Basically the JP limit is the highest value you can increment too.

From the screen shot you have your current jackpot at 10,000 and also your JP limit.
Since your current is the limit it won't ever increment any higher.

Jay- I agree that the limit needs to be set, but the screenshot above is from a member trying to help the original poster by showing example settings -- it's not a screenshot of the actual settings as configured by the original poster.   :71-

Hello guys thanks for the help I was having problems with my cable to set up I have a picture of what the progressive is set at but it will not increment yet and it does have the Jackpot relay hooked up Do i have to do anything with the odometer setting to get it to increment Thanks

Your getting close, make sure your main PSP settings are like the attached picture and check you machine 11d menu settings the should be like below

02=5 or 4 if your using the return link
07=1
78lo=1
06=255

To get to the menu settings I use the test button right

yup, hit it 11 times untill 11d apears in the win paid then hit the max to scroll through the menu and the spin button to make any changes.

I did the test button 11 times when I get to the codes to change I hit spin and it comes up ERR any Idea why that is I tried all numbers same thing ERR

The machine must have no credits to make any changes.

I did every thing after reseting credits when I shut the door the credits meter  says 8.3-9 do you know what code that is I'am looking in book right now Thanks

I dont have an 83-9 code, how did you reset the credits ?  you should have just played it down or cashed out before making any changes.

when i got the machine it did not have a hopper or ticket printer hooked up you hit cash out and turned the key to reset I will try a clear and see what that does

I reset machine put all the info in what you told me to and the meter still dose not increment

Have you set the denomination in the PSP settings ?
Assuming your increment amount is 0.10 as shown above and your denomination is 0.25 (25c)
0.10 x 0.25 = 0.0025. You need to play 4quarters to increase by 1C increment.
Also you can set PSP so that your display represents coins or $
Dont forget to hit the send key after making changes....

I set my PSP increment to to 0.45, 0.04 makes it go up 1c for each quarter deposited. The .045 was just to be quirky.

Also somewhere in this thread you said you didn't have your relay setup. Its the closing of the contact that causes the Mikon to increment.
If you very quickly short/unshort the coin in & grd wires you can artifically see the meter increment.
This will prove if it is the PSP programming or if its the slot.

Hope this helps.

The above increment show .01 which means for every credit played the progressive display will increase by one cent ($00.01) I have never had to program the denomination and it works great for me. I just keep the psp default denomination at 0000.

Everyone Thanks for the help  I got the machine to Increment and to Scroll Words Thanks very much b5srt & Jay could not have done it without you K+++ for both

That's great!  :89-
Can we see a short video clip of it running?  :91-

Excellent.
What was the silver bullet that made it work.

I had to switch a few things on the cpu board settings and the denomination setting in PSP and it started incrementing
I also has to set the meter up for the scrolling of words everything works now Thanks

For the benefit of someone who may see this in the future, would you be kind enough to document specifically what you had to change on the CPU board? Thanks, and congratulations on getting your machine working!

glad to help out     :92- :92-
