PM0404-02 VIBE SPIRE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1

Before beginning the installation, determine how many Vibes you will be installing. If you are

installing 2 units, the terminals can be mounted on opposite sides and therefore can be

mounted directly to the Spire. If you are installing units at 90 degrees to one another, the

terminals must be mounted using the swivel bracket. The swivel bracket and the hardware

to mount it are available in a separate kit from your distributor (KAV-109-002-XX).

The Spire should be located on a sturdy, level surface. The unit has leg levelers on the

bottom to make any necessary adjustments to keep the unit level and stable.

Mounting the Vibe Terminals

Using the pilot holes in the Spire as a

guide, drill the four 1/4” holes needed

for direct mount or the six 1/4” holes

needed for mounting the swivel bracket.

Then, using the supplied Allen wrench,

install one of the supplied #10-24 screw

inserts into each hole. See Figure 1 for

pilot hole location.

Swivel Bracket Mount only: Attach the

wall bracket to the Spire by installing

the 6 supplied pan head machine

screws (10 - 24 x 3/4) into the inserts,

as shown in Figure 1.

Direct Mount only: Unlock the terminal

and push down on the lock release

while carefully opening the front of the

terminal. (Vibes with coin only: Re-

move the coin mech assembly from the

game by removing the three screws

securing the coin mech assembly and

pushing in the coin return. Refer to the

Vibe Owner’s manual for instruction.)

Attach the terminal to the Spire by in-

stalling the 4 supplied pan head ma-

chine screws (10 - 24 x 3/4) through

the terminal and into the inserts, as

shown in Figure 1. Continue with step

12.

Using Figures 2A and 2B, determine

which swivel bracket you are install-

ing. The Vibe with bill bracket has the

smaller terminal bracket and the uni-

versal bracket has the long terminal

bracket. Follow the steps for the

swivel bracket you are installing.

Universal wall bracket only: Attach the

terminal bracket to the wall bracket by

installing the machine screw

(1/4 - 20 x 1/2 L)

and 2 washers

(.75 T x 1/2 ID x 7/8 OD and

.83 T x 7/16 ID x 7/8 OD) up through the

hole in the wall bracket and then through

the tab in the terminal bracket as shown

in Figure 2B. The washer with the

larger inside diameter must be closest

to the bracket. Make sure that the

washers are centered and then loosely

tighten the screw. Install the hexnut to

secure the bracket, and then fully

tighten the screw and hexnut.

the 4 supplied machine screws

(8 - 32 x 1/2 L) as shown in Figure 2B.

10. Vibe with bill wall bracket only: At-

tach the terminal to the terminal bracket

using the 3 supplied machine screws

as shown in Figure 2A. The single pan

head screw (10 - 32 x 1/2 L) should be

installed in the center hole, and the 2

flat screws (10 - 32 x 1/2 L) should be

installed in the outer holes.

11.

Secure the bottom of the terminal to the

bracket by installing the truss head

screw (3/8 - 16 x 3/4 L) and flat washer

(.083 T x 7/16 ID x 7/8 OD) through the

terminal and into the pivot on the wall

bracket as shown in Figure 2A for Vibe

with bill wall brackets and 2B for uni-

versal wall brackets.

12. Vibes with coin only: Replace the coin

mech assembly and secure it with the

three screws.

13. Close and lock the terminal.

14. Unlock and open the door on the Spire.

15. Reaching up through the door, push the

knock out plug from the inside of the

Spire to remove it from the unit. See

Figure 1.

16. Feed the wires from the terminal

through the hole in the Spire where the

knock out plug was removed and route

the wires down towards the bottom of

the Spire.

17. Repeat steps 1-16 for each terminal

you are installing.

18. Place the provided circular level in the

center of the Spire to ensure that the

unit is level. If any adjustments are

necessary to keep the unit level and

stable, loosen the nut on the leg lev-

eler, raise or lower the leg and then re-

tighten the nut.

19. Install the shelves in the Spire. The

larger shelf should be on the bottom

ledge and the middle shelf on the middle

ledge.

20. Continue with “Connecting the Termi-

nal and Processor.”

Connecting the Terminal and
Processor

Before connecting any cables, make

sure that the processor is turned off

and disconnected from any power

source.

Unscrew the 2 thumbscrews on the

connector side of the processor and

remove the front cover plate. See Fig-

ure 3A for Vibes with bill and 3B for

Vibes with coin.

Place the processor on one of the two

lower shelves inside the Spire. If you

are installing more than 2 units, the pro-

cessors can be stacked. If you are

connecting a MegaTunes unit, place it

directly on the shelf and stack any Vibe

processors on top of the MegaTunes.

Route the 9-pin serial cable from the

terminal through the connector access

cutout on the processor and connect it

to the mating connector labeled

“touchscreen controller” in Figure 4.

Route the 15-pin (high density DB, 3

rows of pins) VGA monitor signal cable

from the terminal through the connec-

tor access cutout on the processor and

connect it to the mating connector la-

beled “video” in Figure 4.

Replace the front cover plate, routing

the cables through the cutouts on the

cover plate, and tighten the thumb-

screws to secure the cover plate.

Connect the 15-pin (standard DB, 2

rows of pins) connector from the ter-

minal to the mating connector on the

outside of the processor and tighten

the screws on the connector to se-

cure it. See Figure 3A for Vibes with

bill and 3B for Vibes with coin. (This

cable is easily identified as it has

braided sleeving covering it.)

Vibes with coin only: Connect the 9-

pin (standard DB, 2 rows of pins) con-

nector from the terminal to the mating

connector on the outside of the pro-

cessor and tighten the screws on the

connector to secure it. See Figure 3B.

(This cable is easily identified as it has

braided sleeving covering it.)

Vibes with bill only: Connect the AC

power cord from the terminal to the

processor as shown in Figure 3A and

tighten the screws on the connector to

secure it.

10. Connect the AC power cord from the

terminal to the processor as shown in

Figures 3A and 3B and tighten the

screws on the connector to secure it.

11.

cessor (and MegaTunes units, if you

have installed them) through the hole in

the bottom of the Spire. Connect it to

an outlet and turn on the power. See

Figures 3A and 3B for power switch

location.

12. Repeat steps 1-11 for each Vibe you

have installed, then continue with “Link-

ing the Vibes”.
