Mini Photon install

7). Press the test switch 4 more times until you get to "9-1". (This is your progressive display options.)
8). Using a combination of the play and reset key, watch the mini photon display as you change the values...Follow the top of page 7 in the SP731 PSR carefully!

Where's the change light button ?

[jstraa]

it was my service button LOL

[jstraa]

At 7 it goes wrong I've to press 5 times and then I still get 0__0 which I can change to 1__1

[stayouttadabunker]

So now I assume you can get to "6" and change the denomination of your machine to "25" cents right?
Try pressing the Service" button after you change it to see if the machine makes a "ding" sound.
The only thing the "Service" button does is "Save" what you've entered.
Then, press the test switch 4 more times to advance to the "9-1" position  - which is the options for the photon display.

I'm confused.  Why are we trying to help him set the denomination?  Anyway, if his bill acceptor is enabled, that won't work - he will need a SET chip.  Per the PSR:

"The current denomination selection is displayed.  The denomination can only be modified if both the bill acceptor and EFT are disabled; otherwise, the set-chip must be used."

FYI I do not have bill validator on this machine. I 'll look into it again after the weekend going to play the real slots at the casino

I think your progressive is enabled - per the PSR, "Progressive #1 Selection <9> - This page is displayed only if DIP switch 5 is set for progressive (on position) and 8 is set for standalone progressive (off position).".  So, when you get it to show 9-1, you are actually on the 1st setting for progressive "progressive reset value [1]" - these values will show on the progressive display itself.  So the Coin In/etc won't show the values.  When you get the 9-1, does the photon show any numbers?

I asked him to watch the photon display when he got to the "9-1".
He seems to somehow pop back into the "Out of Service <90>" options instead.
His SAS EFT is disabled.
I'm suspecting that he turns the reset key after he sets the denomination to 0.25 (or something else.  )
instead of pressing the test switch like he should, in order to advance to the "Progressive #1 Selection<9>.

I remember the first time I set up a mini photon...
it's fairly confusing to a newbie,
until you finally get to the part where you see the numbers on the photon changing when you hit a button.
Then you go "Oh my God, THAT"S how you do it!"

Don't you need to set the denom so the progressive knows how much to increment?  It's been a long time since I've tinkered with mine, but that may be a required step.

On page 5 of the SP731 PSR>>

I must quote directly...[The current denomination is displayed.
                                The denomination can only be modified
                                if both the bill acceptor and EFT are disabled;
                                 otherwise, the set-chip must be used.]

He had a "0", so he HAD to set the denomination in option <6>

He does NOT have a DBV and his EFT is disabled.

Now I believe he needs to enable the EFT,
like on page. 4 of the PSR to "IGT SAS{2} "
in order to get the mini photon to work like mine does.

1). Make sure all the Dips are on except 4 and 8.
2). Turn on the machine, leave the door open.
3). Press the test switch once, turn the reset key until you see a "2" only.
4). Press the reset again, make the 3 digits look like "0-0-1",
5). Press the test switch again, make the digits look like "0-1",press change light button until you hear a ding (This saves it)
6). Press the test switch 10 times until you get to "6"...This is setting for you denomination, press the "Play" button until you get "25".
7). Press the test switch 4 more times until you get to "9-1". (This is your progressive display options.)
8). Using a combination of the play and reset key, watch the mini photon display as you change the values...Follow the top of page 7 in the SP731 PSR carefully!

I was following these directions to enable my Mini Photon. I have everything going well until the part where I am supposed to see 9-1. I actually see 9-2 (9 in the coins played window and 2 in the winner paid window). I'm not sure what to do from here to set my progressive amounts. Does the 9-2 mean anything? I don't see any mention of it in the PSR (for SP731). My mini photon does work and I can see the display change with certain menu items, but I can't figure out how to move past the 9-2. Any ideas?
