Example: Changing the Hopper Limit
If you push the white self-test switch 12 times,  you should see a 7 in the coins played window, 
a 1 in the credit window and a four digit number in the winner paid window, with the rightmost
digit flashing. This number you change to the value you want, for the hopper limit. Use the
spin reel button to change the currently flashing digit and the jackpot key to move to the
 next digit.  Repeat this until until you have the desired hopper limit. Push the self test button to
 save and/or to go to the next page. Close and lock door and the machine will reset itself.

Jim-

The directions to make the change depend on the SP chip that is in your machine.  What SP chip is in there?

The chip is SP 872

Reel chip 3509

The game is satellite

Make sure your dip switches on your CPU board has 1, 2 and 3 on and 4 thru 8 off to be able to manually set your limits.

Follow reply 1 .. but it might be 13 times?   but will have 7 in the coins played window.

FYI ... 4 doesn't have to be off but there may be a time when you change to certain games then it will need to be off.

The Manual does seem confusing at first, But once you get it you will be making adjusstments in your sleep. Atleast i do.  :208-

I heard the guys that wrote and typed up the original PSR's were lined up
behind The Desert Inn Casino and shot by Frank Sinatra.

Course, if you believe that  - I have a few original beads my great-grandmother
handed me down through the generations from when they sold off Manhattan Island.  :89-
You can have them back for a measly gaming compact with NYS and a court order for NYC to
erect an 80 story Hotel & Casino right in the heart of Central Park - for me.  :200-
Of course, if you can swing that kind of a deal, you probably wouldn't be on NLG.  :96-

The example above is for the hopper limit, isn't Jim asking about the credit limit?

Older game proms will only let you adjust the hopper limit .. which is also your jackpot and credit limit. Newer game proms will let you independently set the hopper limit, jackpot limit and credit limit. Both older and newer game proms have a separate credit limit for dollar bills.

Ah, that's why I like it here - always something to learn!

Just to let ya know, Changing the hopper limit did fix my problem!  Thank you for asking though!!   :89-
I am having a problem with the bill validator on another S+ , But that is for another thread   :96-
Always something......

I remember playing with all kinds of hopper limit, credit limit, hand pay limits, etc...
until I was totally comfortable with how these things work.
Like anything else, the more you play with it - the better you get...  :81-  :25-  :200-

Not going to touch that either! :81-


jimise, if you want more to read on an S+ see this IGTS+_PSRs_&_TEST_OPTION_SHEETS_SIMPLIFIED_V3.pdf

I forgotten about that excellent set of sheets r273...did you come up with that?
I think they are very well done! :3-

Thanks Ron! Just downloaded it.  Will take a look at it after dinner   :89-

Yep, but I know you aren't going to read it cause you hate instructions.  :72- Just look at the bottom
of the first page, that will tell you who wrote it. That will save you from reading much. :97- :97-
