Title: MEI BV Interface Board
Post by: Flexpipe on January 11, 2009, 12:21:19 PM
I have a WMS Bluebird, and am wondering if anyone knows what type board this unit requires? By board, I am referring to the 4" board that goes between the head and the interface plug that is mounted on the back of the BV frame.  I have installed the Single Switch board, which gives me a Bill Stacker Open Error, and have removed that and  installed the two switch version, and I get no LED lights at all. Any help or info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Is the head a SC6607?

And only the 2 switch board works.

They have a 50% failure rate.

The one switch board is for the Netplex setup just in case anyone wants to know.

MEI

just a quick heads up to watch for...our BlueBalls have loads of door issues, most of which we have decided start with the interface board.  sometimes bending the actuator on the switches will help, but it's just a band-aide.  we recently purchased new switches from AG&E and have been replacing them as we pull boards off of the floor.  g/l

Also you can use the two switch board in an IGT only if you have the reprogram tool.


Its the same tool that you use to upgrade the firmware on the head.
