Typical home use settings for the SP1271 family of S+ game chips

[StatFreak]

SP1271 family of game chips: Typical setup for home use.

Important: All setting changes require 0 credits on the machine before entering setup mode.

• With the machine turned on and in idle mode, open the door press the white test button 2 times
• You should see "2  n" in the winner paid/credits windows, where n= 0 or 1. Press the spin button until it reads "2  1”

               This enables the spin sounds.

• Turn the jackpot key once. This advances through the setup sub-menu
• You should see "5  n" in the window, where n= 0 to 2. Press the spin button until it reads "5  0"

               This will make all wins automatically go to the credit meter. You will not have to turn on the credit button before playing.

• Turn the jackpot key three times.
• You should see "8  n" in the window, where n= 0 to 2. Press the spin button until it reads "8  1"

               This will force all bills inserted to go to the credit meter. You will never accidentally end up cashing out your bill.
                  [ADD 5-30-2011] It turns out that this setting has to be enabled when the dbv is set up using the SET chip. If the SET chip option is
                  configured as disabled, this option can't be changed and all bills will always go to the tray. If the SET chip option is configured as enabled,
                  then the option is set here. If enabled, a set chip is NOT required to change this setting.
                      Thanks Poppo and Stayouttadabunker for this info. 
                     

• Turn the jackpot key once
• Press the white test button to "return" to the main menu and advance through it until you get to option group 7

          {stop the first time you see a “7” in the Coins-In display}

• Set your hopper and credit limits as follows:

               Note: To set these values, turn the jackpot reset key to change the selected (flashing) digit. Press the spin button to increment the
                          flashing digit.

• [7-1] 0000   Maximum number of credits that will actually cash out from your hopper.

                               Zero effectively disables the hopper, but you can use a low number to match the number of coins that you have, if you wish.
                               If you have more credits than the value set here on the meter, pressing cash out will become a hand pay that is cleared with
                               the key.

• [7-2] 1200  This will cause all single wins of 1201 or more to lock up as a jackpot with lights flashing. Set this between the highest win that you

                           want to pay out normally and the lowest win that you want to lock up as a jackpot. Jackpot wins cleared with the jp key
                           "disappear" and are not added to the credit meter (although they are added to the jackpot meter in the bookkeeping menus.)

• [7-3] 9999  All single wins of equal to or less than the value set in [7-2] (1200 or less in this case) will go to the credit meter as long as the final

                           number of credits is less than 10,000.

• [7-5] 2000  The bill validator will turn off when you have more than 2000 credits. Use any value that you want here.
• [8]    0000  optional.  Partial pay on lockups. If you want some of your jackpot or lockup amounts to pay from the hopper, set this
                                   to the number of coins you want to pay out. This number cannot be higher than the hopper limit setting [7-1].
  
  
• Press the white test button one final time after making your last setting change to be sure that the changes stick
• Close the door

Nice post Stat !!

Should help a few

That is great info stat...I am fairly new at this. Would it be similar for a double spin DD? My chip says s-plus SP810 Type 20 . Also has 1-512 AZ1. I am confused and cannot figure it out. Thanks

The older family of chips do not allow for separate hopper, credit, and jackpot limits, so you can't run "coinless."

Your hopper limit, jackpot limit, and credit limit are the same (one setting), so all credits on the meter will be paid in coins from the hopper anytime you press the cashout button and all wins over your set limit will be jackpot lockups. Partial pays and separate DBV cutoff settings can still be set. To enable partial pays, you will need to set option "34  n" in the options setup group to 1. If turned on, you will then see page [8] in the main menu.

Your MPU board switches affect your settings (unlike the 1271 which doesn't use them). Turn on Switches 1-3 and turn off 4-8. Switches 1 and 2 set your hopper limit, and turning them both on will allow you to set the limit in the software under setting 7 instead of having a "hard coded" limit imposed. Switch 3 turns on your spin sounds. There is no setup option "2  n" for sound in the menu.

Thanks Stat, I am sure that will help. My problem is machine locking up for handpay. I think I have DIP 's figured out....just need to increase hopper limit.

this will help me.. thanks

R273 put together a document that was an easy to read form for the various series of SP chips.

Perhaps someone can post it in this thread. I don't have a copy with me at the office.

[Ron (r273)]

Take a look at these documents that are in a zip file.
Hope they can help twizz63.

Hi RRRRR, I downloaded the option sheets and my chip says SP810. Am I misreading or is that one not in your lists?

[jay]

The purpose of R273's document is to teach you how to read a PSR, not to document every single chip.

Most of the 800 series chips are pretty much the same.

A PSR is a document that is specific to the Game Chip. It documents all of the options possible for the chip.
They are not the most straight forward to read, subsequently people do get confused and end up changing settings they probably don't want to change or getting into features without a clean exit.

The simplified file read above in conjunction with your PSR turns on the "Ah ha" lightbulb pretty quick.

What you proabably want now is a copy of the PSR for your chip.

I don't have one for your chip but if you create a new post that reads looking for a PSR for ....... some kind sole might just send you one.

[twizz63]

Thanks a lot Jay....and everyone else. It does explain things a bit ....and will help me figure it all out.

Here you go

Thank You Buzz....

I updated my OP regarding setup option 8 (Bill Acceptor Pay Mode).

It turns out that this option can be disabled in the SET chip configuration menu. If it is, then this option can't be changed when navigating the setup menu (the spin button light will turn off when this option is reached) and one of the newer SET chips (88, 89, 90, etc.) will be needed to enable this option.  Although one can use SET 015 or SET 026 with the newer SP chips to turn the dbv on and off and to select the denomination, those chips won't allow the user to change this setting.

Thanks to Bunker and Poppo for figuring this out.   

I learned something new today.    I've never seen a machine with this option disabled.
