Thank you thanks

Don't be afraid to ask questions, the programming of a Cham2+ can be a real pain sometimes!
Here's a lesson I learned on my Cham2+; If your downloading a text message to be displayed on the meter, download immediately after the Cham2+ boots up and your success rate will greatly improve!

I think I may be sick I tried to hook up this meter to a s2000 and the cable does not fit does this mean it's not compatible

I just realized on the mother board the cable I have going from mikohn cham2+ will not fit in the board where it says progressive :52- :103-

You most likely need a different harness or need to make one up. Each slot manufacture has a different way of pulsing the mikohn for incrementing the progressive and a different signal for telling it the jackpot was hit. Each slot manufacture has a slightly different wiring scheme. In the back of the Cham2 manual should be wiring diagrams for IGT.

I have only connected the Cham2+ to Universal brand slots so maybe some IGT folks can step in and help you more.

This link might help you....

FYI The S2000 actually has 2 progressive ports
One on the motherboard and one on the Comm board that is the board in the middle of the AC Dist box mounted on the back wall with a ribbon cable between it and the motherboard
Both Progressive ports work the same way and are the same style connector, a 6 pin Molex SL 0.100" connecter
The S+ and S2000 both use the J7 connector on the Cham II+ a 14 pin version of the ATA (PATA) Connector on Computer Motherboards, it also has 0.100" spacing

Please post a clear picture of the harness and try to a good close up of the connectors when doing it.

Hey thank you so much for the info do you know where I can purchase the cable

MAny of us that have a S2000 and a Cham II+ made our own cables.

I don't think I'm that talented

Ok so does j7 have to connect to the mother board spot that has progressive marked next to it and if so then only a custom built cable will connect these? I know I don't know too much I just have had my slots for a few months now and have learned a lot over those months so you guys that have helped me thank you so much I really have a new hobby

Hey guys so I need some help Please does J-7 connect to motherboard spot that says progressive and is their a cable that can be made :279-
