ChamII+ Standalone Progressive in s2000

[lmartin185]

Machine shows increments in the actual game itself but it's not incrementing on the progressive display.  After hours of reading through the forums, I'm still having that issue.  Can anyone post a step by step guide of setting up the ChamII+ which includes settings and schematics?  Thanks.

What do you have your S2000 progressive settings set to?  What value is the ChamII+ meter showing, and is that a value you programmed in?  How exactly is the machine showing increments "in the actual game itself" -- do you have a second meter installed?

 


Welcome to the site, by the way -- glad to have you here.  There are a bunch of really knowledgable folks here who will be happy to help you.

S2000 progressive setting are set to stand alone.  Base, Limit and Increment are all set in the Level 1 progressive on the game.  The meter shows $00. Base limit was set to $5000.  No second meter.  When I go into the progressive setting the "actual amount"  shows where it has incremented.

Even though the Cham II+ is a stand alone controller you have to set the machine to Link: Level 1
You need a key chip 31 to change the setting.
you then use PSP 2.xx or 3.xx with a serial cable jumper pins 1 and 5 or psp will give you communication errors
If you can solder just remove the cham II+ from its power supply and solder a small wire to pin 1 and then to pin 5
Also the Cham II+ and the machine need to be connected with a 3 wire harness to J15 motherboard or J85 communicastions board in AC dist chassis and J7 on the Cham II+

To expand on what Foster said, with your machine set to "stand alone" -- it's running the progressive itself.  It could (and would) do that without a ChamII+ installed.

After days of headaches, it's finally working.  Thanks a lot guys!
